MTG does Realms of Chaos [Flamer added February 5]

[Mr Tough Guy]

Last year I've only managed to paint 2 minis, so in the hope of painting a bit more this year I've decided to start a thread in the hope that it will inspire me (or at least shame me)to do a bit of more painting.
Anyway the idea is to do a Realms of Chaos style warband, not really intending to play with it so not really concerned in building a legal warband ruleswise, I've just been collecting anything that looks like it fit in, mostly Realms of Chaos era citadel minis, but I've also got some of clams evil dwarves, and Tre's Helsvakt waiting to get painted.

Anyway so these are the two I painted last year




And a couple I painted in the years before

[Braxandur]

Nice Old School miniatures, you did a great job on them 

Tre's helsvakt are also great sculpts, Would love to see some of them painted up!

[stone-cold-lead]

Really nice work on the zebra skin centaur. Great to see some old school goodness too.

[Mr Tough Guy]

Thanks the centaurs pattern is actually based on an Okapi, I'm still planning to do a full zebra one down the line, though with my painting speed that will probably be somewhere in 2037 

[DeafNala]

The Old Guys, Gals, & Whatever look WONDERFUL. Your brushwork & basing are OUTSTANDING...the okapi coloration was an inspired idea. VERY WELL DONE!

[Dr. Moebius]

The Okapi idea for the centaur is very cool!

The demons look great too. 2014 will be a good year to paint 

Cheers

Thanks, I've been looking at nature for inspiration for paintschemes, currently trying out with a tiger scheme on a demonette not sure how that will turn out and if it will fit in with the others, at the moment it looks VERY orange  but I've always liked the bit of random look of the Realms of chaos minis so I think it should work once it done 

Also been looking at zebras, Giraffes, Bongos, and other big cats, for schemes that could work, but if anyone has any other suggestions of a nice animal pattern they're welcome.

[Mr Tough Guy]

So finally a bit of an update, I was holding of posting anything as I had thoughts of joining the LPL, of course there was no chance of me painting nearly enough 
but I did manage to paint 3 minis in the last few weeks, that's a whole mini more then I managed in all of 2013 so it's a win anyway 

first of another demonette:


 think I've might have gone a bit overboard with the tiger scheme, and I'm not sure how well it fits in with the others, but hopefully once the full 20 man unit is complete there will be enough variety that it won't look out of place



next up a dark elf:



To be honest I wasn't sure about the scheme with the (half bothered done) NMM and the blue skin it looked a bit bland but I think the addition of the blood on the mace finally pulled it together

and finally a Chaos Dwarf:


To be honest not too sure about the shield design, I think I managed it in the end but I went about it a bit half bothered and should have thought about it a bit better, a blue fish on a blue background might not have been the smartest idea  For my next freehand shield I'll have to think about it a bit better before I start painting.

The blue fish will hopefully be a running theme through out the warband (there's also one on one of the centaurs), although I will probably branch out and add other nautical nonsense as well as the usual RoC designs.

[stone-cold-lead]

Lovely work again, especially on the demonette.

[DeafNala]

All the new additions are BEAUTIFULLY painted & based, but the Tiger Babe is my favorite..the Girls always win out. VERY WELL DONE!

[area23]

Tigra is amazing!

[TheSnackist]

Love that Tiger deamonette. So bold and different! Bravo! I like the depth and variety of coloration on the other two as well.

[Too Bo Coo]

The unknown Tully uncle, 'Bluefish'?  I hear Martin's introducing him in Book 7.

[Phil Portway]

Very nice paint jobs on all of them. I do like the purple Demons.

[Mr Tough Guy]

The unknown Tully uncle, 'Bluefish'?  I hear Martin's introducing him in Book 7.

LOL yeah I had that thought reading the book, but honestly I thought of it before reading the books or watching the show, the design was actually inspired by Japanese Koi Tattoos, and it's blue because that's the colour I'm most confident with.
