as I said in the presentation post I’m making a CD army using the Warriors of chaos rules (because here in spain, GW says that RH can’t be used anymore…)
So here I’m going to show the miniatures I’m painting and basing at the moment. As you will see, I’m not a great painter but well… I do what I can :p. And about the green stuff… I’m just starting so u will not see any special conversion
About the paint scheme… I’ve gone with a bit classical red, but using scab red that’s darker, and small touches of bronze and bleached bone. And the beards are blue, why? because I saw that here and I loved it ;P.
First of all, the bull centaurs (used as chaos knights) bought on ebay with a good price:
The Hobgoblins are ace! :hat off Are they original GW ones?
Also like the blue beards!
Concerning the Taurus - good model with appropriate wings but I would use a CD Lord sitting at the back of the beast and not this unstable looking howdah!
But this is only my minor opinion!
Nonetheless great beginning and I want to see more stuff! :cheers
yes, the hobgoblins are the original ones. I bought them using ebay years ago. then they were really cheap (now they have reached a very high and unafordable price :s) and I really love the models!!
about the lord on the taurus… the problem is that I dont really see a small, fatty, short legged man sitting on the back of that beast :P. Also, because this taurus is a mechanical creature (the juggers are made by us!!) I can see the lord staying on the platform, like a chariot.
the real problem is that a piece is missing… a piece I forgot to place untill I saw it painted… a pair of chains going from the platform to the dwarf belt! I’m working on it and, in the next days I promise to give new photos, including some of the recently made skaven-hobgoblins :hat off
PS: there is something that bugs me (correct expresion?). although the figures have been washed using devlan mud, I’m not able to see it on the photos, sorry
Well, the basing will be very simple, black with grey dry brush, like an ash desert or something like that…
finally I got a new camera and can make some more photos.
You’ll see the dwarf warriors on his small base, glued (with a low quality glue so I can separate them if I want) onto a bigger one. I do that because of the (improbable, but well…) option that someday I can use them again as what they are, and not as chaos warriors.
The old CD warriors I was using, with nothing special:
And are slowly being transformed to this (I’m not good with green stuff but I’m trying to improve):
At the moment I almost have a complete unit, lacking the shields though:
I have limited the metalised parts to weapons and shields, and I love the decision. Oh, and probably the musician will be sacrificed to Hashut, and redone.
As a bonus, a hero:
PS: everytime I look the photos, I see more and more painting mistakes that I’m unable to see when looking to the miniatures x.x
A pair of sorcerers I’ve done using the imperial wizards.
They have been cutted in order to be smaller. But I wanted them to be thicker than a normal dwarf in order to represent the magic powers consuming them.
I know it’s not a great sculpt, but it’s the best i can do now. Oh, and I’m also working on a warshrine using the corpse cart.
