Kera foehunter:

wow they look good wallacer!!love the hounds the only thing that would make it better is a hot female chaos woman on horseback leading them!!!

Fridericus_Rex:

Unfortunately I plan on painting them as Nurgle, which will make my life a lot more tricky.

wallacer
Well, Nurgle will be very difficult imho. But I think you should use the way you've painted your mounted Nurgle Champion. Looking forward to see'em painted! :cheers

Xander:

Awesome stuff, dude!

I’ve been looking over my new Chaos plastics with zeal. :slight_smile: I am trying to come up with an effective list that I like both strategically and flavourfully. It’s proving most difficult.

GW seems to have done good work for Chaos this time around, except the oversight of the dreadful Trolls and Ogres. Ironguts make better Chaos Ogres, and the classic converted River Trolls to Chaos Trolls with he big metal slats have always been my favourite Chaos Trolls…

I agree, all the stuff in the spearhead is high quality and well detailed.
I just used Rackham Wolfen for my Chaos Ogres. They look a lot better than the GW equivalent.

Kera foehunter:

well i like your thinking Wallacer!! but being a land person and not on a sea horse

it might be better to find a landlover

speedygogo:

Painting nurgle colored troops isn’t as tricky as it seems. The biggest problem people run into is that they try to paint just in shades of green and it ends up not looking right. If you mix red paint with the greens it looks alot better. That is because red and green are complimentary colors. Also try using small amounts blue and purple.

You have to figure that anything nurgle is never green to start with. Nurgle decays and rots flesh, so start with the corected color that a non rotten mini would be then decay it by adding very small amounts of green, red, purple and blue. Hope that helps and happy painting.

Are these chaos spearhead figures go together well ???

i was thinking of getting the new marauders on horse back

are they well made ? or do you have problem like some set and they break as you take them of the spuce

I doubt there is any army that can't be made instantly better with a hot female chaos woman (on horseback or otherwise). Or it might just be me.

Strangely enough only Dark Elves seem to be an equal opportunity employer.

@Wallacer,
do I see correctly and you have used the new washes a lot?

Willmark:

These are pretty darn cool, look forward to seeing more in the way of the spearhead from you.

Kera foehunter
Actually, yes. They were unbelievably easy to put together.
The big exception to that is the Knights which have millions of pieces. Fortunately, I sold my Knights so I don't have to worry about the inevitable brain aneurism that would result from trying to figure out how they go together.
