Bloodbeard:
I love to play Warhammer. I love to convert and build miniatures, terrain. I can get really exicited over cool and well painted miniatures. It’s such a great way to play and have a good time.
And like many people with our hobby I have way to many projects planned - some that might never become reality. I would love to hear a bout your future projects, see pictures of the piles of materials. I’ll list mine as well. And in the order I think they’ll become reality.
Personally I somehow keep getting free loot, good trades etc. and end up with projects for my chest.
I really want to start painting in different colour, do other bases and focus on other conversions. But those CD keep taking up my time (all them competitions are a big part of it).
Chaos Dwarfs
Despite having a reasonable force and wanting to start other stuff, I always end up expanding my CD. And the list and box of stuff keeps growing. All the below is on hand and sorted in individual bags.
- 118 hobgoblins in skaven/beastmen/warhound bits incl. 2 boltthrowers. Including fillers.
- 23 blunderbuss incl. bezhukk champion, titan wargames command and 7 old bighats.
- Zargod on carpet. Vortex fire made from paper and a chaos star disc.
- Taurus made from toy cow and bits.
- Dreadquake scratch build. Using resin hellcannon crew. Ogre already finished.
- 6 Bull Centaurs. Chaos horses / mantic ogres
- Tauruk. Ogre tyrant / juggernaut
- big hat hero axe up BSB.
- Airship count ass destroyer. 30 cm hindenburg model baloon, dark eldar raider.
- Lammsu and rider. Old manticore / giant head.
- Astrogoth / ghazkull thraka. Already cut up and dry fitted.
- 20 steamguard. Chaos Warrior hunchbacks, pin helmets, space marine back pack exhausts.
- 35 2nd/3rd editions miniatures. incl. Clams command group and an unknown one. Will be a GW unit and a hw/s unit. Incl bazooka, swivelgun and mortar fillers.
- siege giant. Build on plastic giant.
- metal hellcannon.
- scratch build death shrieker.
Other dreams and plans
Paint my HeroQuest to look like the artwork.
Make a 40k army. I’ve got some free old space marines. Gonna chaosify and nurgle them up - easy conversions to make old look good. Cheap in points as well - will loose everything as the 40k asks for competitive lists.
A Warhammer Fantasy Nurgle Army. A friend of mine finally got into warhammer (he has 5 painted 40k ones) and we ping ponged lists for a long time. And this beautiful (?!) nurgle army took shape in my head. That would be a money eating army (all others projects are almost free). I love the AoW Corrupters of the Apocalypse - two boxes of those and a set of Blightkings and you would be golden. But I cannot defend buying expensive kits - that’ll just collect dust. But here was some of the ideas.
- Putrid Blightkings for heroes/lords etc. Lots of bits to shine up everything else.
- Corpse Carts as Nurgle Chariots.
- Giant toy toad (cost nothing) as a nurgle dragon or slaugterbrute depending on list.
- Mantic zombies as Prisoners of War. Should go eveywhere as sick humans. Pulled behind horses, chariots, fillers with the warriors. All Warriors are ‘hero’ class compared to normal mortals. So they take prisoners to tend their gear etc. They release them when they are infested to spread nurgles desease. The terror of a nurgle army is not the havok on the battlefield - it’s what spreads from it.
- A set of Plague Drones / flies whatøs the daemons names? Two for pulling gorebeastchariots. 1 to be used as a demonic mount. Old chariots for bases (the new ones are ugly).
- Nurglings included everywhere.
- Another Toad demon as a Hellcannon.
But I battled myself and put my credit card away every time I had filled up a shopping basket online. … And then along comes Ben S and shows those hunchback warriors with knight weapons and new heads. Super cool and easy conversion - much better than the new warriors. I have a ton of all those bits. … the project is very much live again… Damnit. And it’s top priority. Nurgle is so easy to make cool.
Let’s hear your projects!

On my long to do list I have ofc all my dwarves, only 8 painted so far + 2 heros (im going to paint after posting this comment)
So aside the entire army I have to complete the:
1) Blood bowl box team orcs vs empire, I was on 1/3 painted miniatures
2) Finish my REAL blood bowl team, Pirate Orcs, there I was half way through
3) Paint all the miniatures from the basic box of Descent 2nd ed, so far painted only the heroes my friends played + 1
Things I always wanted to do:
WHFB Chess board
My idea was a simple orcs vs empire again, they are just too classic for not be everywhere, I had already all the pics of the model needed for make it.
The chessboard would have been in 2 different squares, a grass one and a sand one, rapresenting then the white and black blocks, basing even the humans in grass and orcs in sand.
What I left in the “basement” is my old skaven army from 6th ed, god they are so ugly, painted with my ass back to 10y ago, I was 16 back then.
Made crazy disgunsting conversions, the models wont even fit in ranks, unfortunatly it is all stuff that I wont be able to play anymore, and god, they are so ugly to look at now that I wont even be able to sell them maybe.
Abecedar:
OMG. I haven’t thought that far ahead for ages. It will take me a while to even guess what WoC, DoW and O&G I have.
@ Lodrial - The chess board is one thats been simmering away in my brain for a while.
Would probably make it square though so I could use it flat (as usual) or whilst it is still hanging on the wall.
here is a how to guide to what I mean…

the idea of the vertical board is nice and easy, problem is: "who is going to play chess standing?"

x.x Really?! I love chess. I play it as much as I can with a workmate and on my PC. But I never heard or saw this kind of chess. Funny!
Herby
I think the idea is that you make a move as you go about and your opponent makes one when they can "en passant" so to speak.
Also makes a nice display board for your pieces.
Abecedar:
If using the 4th Ed’ Models for chess pieces, you could use:-
Pawns = CD Warriors
Knights = Bull Centaurs
Rooks = Standard Bearers
Bishops = Sorcerers on Foot
Queen = Hero
King = Astragoth

Abecedar
And just for kicks, make the other side Greenskins:
Pawns = goblins
Castles = boar riders or boyz
Knights = wolf riders
Bishops = black orcs
Queen = squig or shaman
King = Grimgor Ironhide
Loidrial:
for my chess i had in mind this:
Pawns = ork boyz / empire state troop
Knights = boar rider / knight order
Rooks = Black orc / greatsword
Bishops = savages / flagellants
Queen = mage
King = melee hero
DAGabriel:
That Chess-Board is quite cool and a nice idea as present for my kids (and I could buy some Minis I longed for and couldn`t justify).
Will give it some serious thought.

Let me know then if you will do something about it!!
cornixt:
Way back in the day I came up with chess teams for every army. Except Ogres, they weren’t around as an army then - which tells you how long ago it was. Always seems weird having the king as a powerful lord who can barely go anywhere. Works for the stone-ridden CD sorcerer though. Best thing about CDs is that you can convert their hats into the right shapes!
My incomplete projects:
Chaos Dwarfs
A few straggling blunderbuss conversions of Thunderers left to go
Full unit of Hobgoblin conversions to be finished.
Unit of CD Berserkers converted from Slayers, only 25% finished
Unit of Dwarf Ironbreakers, only the champion is done
Redo my Destroyer, just rebased him so far, but I’d like to add armour over his lava skin
Increase the size of my Golem unit (simple sculpts in Fimo)
Finished my bigger Bull Centaur conversion unit, and the bases that align with FW models
O&G
Handful of Orcs to be built and painted
As many Goblins as I can get out of the remainder of the BFSP that aren’t used for Hobgoblins
Spider Riders
Blood Bowl
3-4 CD team models to be finished, mostly done bar the BC
Chaos team needs a tidy up and consistant colour scheme
An extra Goblin or two, and another thrower for the Orc team.
Should have enough models for an Undead team pretty soon, only three done so far.
HeroQuest
A few more hero-type models to be painted
A few of each type of common monster to be painted, replacing those conscripted into Blood Bowl
Tons of random monsters, from giant sharkman to Sarlac-thingy

My re-write of the rules is so close to being done.
