LLooking damnably awesome and making me want to redo my marauders afresh 
Necrotique:
Looking awesome dude. I really love the paint-style and unique-ness of all the troops. I’m aiming for the same look for my Nurgle horde and this is great inspiration for some conversions 
You didn’t by any chance happen to recently sell a stack of your models to someone in Australia, did you? I bought some this month that look almost identically painted though not as detailed (thought that could just be the photo quality)
:cheers

Most of the commission work I do is stateside, but I have pretty much covered all of Europe also. If you have pics, I could probably tell you.
Necrotique:
I don't have any on me at the moment and am waiting for the models in the mail but they're ones like the old metal warhounds, harry the hammer, mounted sorcerer, etc. I'll upload photos when I get them, but they're from some guy in Greece.

Sorry to hijack the thread - they do look amazing, I was just wondering if I was waiting for some of your old works in the mail :)

A little bit of progress to report on the disc-o-riding sorcerer lord, mostly just on the disc.
One of the comments was that the disc looks too much like a 40k Tyranid (not a bad thing in my opinion) and another was what about a tail. Then as I was working on the knights I saw the musician�?Ts horn.
So, that led to a slight change in modeling to where I came up with this. And you guessed it, some of the horns that I cut off the knights/chaos warriors heads make an appearance (don�?Tt throw anything away). That needs a bit of touch up. Still need to work on the model and base so more.
Necrotique:
As usual - absolutely stunning GS work mate
I don’t think it’s that bad that it looks slightly like a Tyranid, or the horn - I think that they both perfectly embody creatures of the warp - especially the slavering tongue.
:cheers

Awesome, love the disc! 
Unzul:

As things come together, you always get new ideas and the Tzeentch disc that was previously shown gave me some ideas on a new chaos spawn. The ideas were mainly to help tie more of this stuff together in the army. My previous chaos spawn for this army, affectionately known as Blue Spawn and Brown Spawn, were based on the metal chaos troll bodies and current plastic spawn kit, respectively. I do very much like both of them and I am always toying with the ideas of how to include more spawn in my army lists. They are very quirky in games and cause havoc in both sides, and I enjoy running them as a pair.
So, how to do that? Well, my buddy Mike Butcher created some wonderful looking models back a few years ago for his Nurgle Demon army, that can be seen in an old issue of White Dwarf and was on GW’s U.S. web site for awhile.
This model is partially inspired by his conversions. And my Blue Spawn uses an ogre head on the chaos troll body, so combining all that I came up with this�?�
It uses a rat ogre body left over from the Warhammer Fantasy boxed set. I particularly liked how Mike tied together the ogre head and the lower jaw of the tyranid heads on his models, so I attempted to do something very similar in hopes that this ties together better with my disc.
Not sure what I will do with the paint schemes just yet, but they should all tie together with the other spawn. I do really like the use of the armor on these rat ogres, they do kind of resemble the armor on some of my marauders. I�?Tll probably incorporate some of the armor elements into my Chaos Ogres down the road.
This will be one of those freaky models. I’m very much looking forward to the completion of it. For the second spawn, I will go back to the rat ogre body from the box set and combined in some more tyranid pieces in the conversion.

As I’m going along building my marauding horde, I decided that I was going to cherry pick a whole lot of miniatures that I liked from other manufacturers as well. Stuff that has caught my eye and that I have wanted to paint for quite some time. I’m not concerned about size as I’m already using everything GW makes in a mix, and besides barbarians and mutants are all the same size anyways.
This model is one of Tre Manor’s Red Box Games, Helsvakt, miniatures and it is absolutely stunning in detail and a blast to paint. There is so much detail on it. The skulls on the cape in the back is really cool looking. I’m really loving all of the stuff Tre is doing for his own company and for Reaper Miniatures.
The shield below had a bunch of scars in the surface sculpted into it. So, I thought I would accentuate that in my color scheme and make the shield sort of glow a little.
Next up is another of Tre Manor’s sculpts, this time from Reaper Miniatures. This model is huge. The Helsvakt is about 25 mm, this model is probably around 32 mm.
I believe the name of this miniature is Kord the Destroyer. The face detail just screams at me, I love it. The model itself is very reminiscent of his Helsvakt models.
I’ll be using both of these models on the extreme flanks of the units. I’m very much looking forward to assembling the units in whole. The Blue and Burnt Orange paint schemes are getting carried all the way through the army. Both of these models are really going to influence me in my conversion and sculpting work in the future. Tre’s technique for doing fur is definitely making me rethink how I have been doing it. The detail is top notch in my book.

stunning stuff!

Truly awesome!
This Kord the Destroyer character would be perfect as a younger version of Wulfrik IMO, seeing as he will be towering over everyone else and already has a few trophies hanging from his belt.
tjub:
I reallly like your conversions!
Bassman:
Your painting skills are so good that even Chaos looks cool in your hands 
Looking forward to see the ogre-spawn painted. Not sure about the blending of tyranid jaws and ogre head. I’m pretty sure when painted we will be able to see better the result.

PsychosisPC:
Thanks guys. I’m sure the blending on the spawn’s jaw will look fine once painted. I’m not worried about that at all.
Abecedar:
the spawn looks awesome already. very very spawny in fact
PsychosisPC:
Some of more my barbarians…
This is another of Tre Manor’s Red Box Games Miniatures. And its quickly become another favorite of mine. I think it has a rather cool pose, I can see the awesome downward swing of that cleever like sword.
I’m continuing my paint scheme throughout everything, so the panels on the shield just had to be that glowing like blue.
“the Crazed” is very fitting for this Red Box Games, Tre Manor miniature. Just look at that face.
You cannot help but have an evil smile on your face while painting this miniature’s melon. Like the rest of the Helsvakt line and some of his Reaper sculpts, I really love this armor and its what I would envision Chaos Marauders wearing to battle, spiky and gladiatorial like.
And one that I will use in my great weapon unit.
