[Archive] The Besieger and his Golden Army. (BETER Pictures of the Hobgoblin Khan's)

The Besieger:

All thx for the reply…

Ok :slight_smile: here my BB horde :slight_smile:















Dont know yet for my next CD project :slight_smile:

Maybe a horde big hats with Fireglaive.

But i will wait till i have the Tamurkhan book.

Dam :frowning: i wish i have that book already…

so i can build my CD army :slight_smile:

shane foster:

now thats what i call a unit love the step idea

JMR:

Very, very nice. A simple, yet effective colourscheme. Makes me fall in love with the classic chaos dwarf models again. Gotta love 'em.

I would try painting the inside of the ends of the blunderbusses black instead of gold though. Hopefully gives the impression that the gun is actually hollow that way.

This makes me want to rethink my own chaos dwarves :stuck_out_tongue:

Keep up the good work!

tjub:

Great unit! Your colorscheme and baseing goes well together…

BeeZharr:

These look great. I’ve not seen many large units of the old models, fantastic seeing them so well painted and presented.

The Besieger:

all thx for reply :cheers

The Besieger:

Last night i painted this BC.

This one will be the champ in the BC unit.









Also i redone some colors one the old BC’s & redone the bases (40mm x 40mm).Here some pictures from the BC unit.











lostmember:

Nice unit. Also answers my question about base sizing :slight_smile:

Xander:

They look decent on 40mm. Though, the bases look a bit sparse. They could do with some rocks or something.

Caine:

Great read!

Sure 8BC and the horde of Ig cost you loads of points but I love to see the irondeamon doing good :wink:

gIL^:

Its great how well the old stuff fits in with the new!

Your army is very small, Is it because of that HUGE blunderbuss unit?

The Besieger:

Hey :slight_smile:

On the moment i’m working on a new IG horde unit with Fireglaives.

I’m not happy with the current bases that i have for my CD army.

So i will redo the bases for my army like you see on the photo’s.

I will make beter photo’s when the new IG horde unit is painted :slight_smile: .

Hope you like it :).







vulcanologist:

Superb army and a great battle report! I live the old style bb horde!

theforgefather:

did you use forge world fireglaives or make your own?

The Besieger:

Yep this are the forgeworld fireglaives :).

Maybe i will make with the forgeworld IG’s

a bb unit.Then i will make it from this bb’s

http://www.manticgames.com/Shop-Home/Kings-of-War/Abyssal-Dwarfs/Core-Units/Product/Abyssal-Dwarf-Decimators-10-Figures.html .

Or i will try sell them for a cheaper price.

BeeZharr:

That’s an expensive way of making fireglaives. I think Kroot find would work well too. I, for one, would be very interested if you sell the IG bodies.

tjub:

The new bases looks great, much better! :slight_smile:

The Besieger:

Thx all for the reply :slight_smile:

Here some pictures that i posted in the forum gallery :slight_smile:

some new painted stuff & some older stuff on the new bases.

























Alakihel:

Cheers !

Alakihel.
