Khorne/wrath BSB and warriors

I have managed to finish the last four of my khorne/wrath warriors taking the unit to fifteen strong.

Also finished is this ridiculously oversized BSB who was a bit of a challenge to get him on a 25mm base.  A few magnets at the back of the base and positioning his weapon hanging over the front of the base, he is ready to rock and roll.

He followed the usual paint scheme of the other bros with a little bit of a red wash through the standard and some of the gold armour trim.

Ranking up was a little challenging but I managed to get them all in.

Infernal Dwarves vs Beast Herds

Had a game today with the new ID book vs Beast Herds.

My list:

overlord on big bull bull - will choose infernal weapon with onyx
Prophet in Kadim  chariot
BSB with wall making banner - love this concept

29 IG with great weapons as a bunker for bsb
24 spear vassals
15 flintlocks

6 big taurukhs full command and infernal weapons
Rock crusher pain train
2 units of vassal cavalry to chuck oil skins

The thin purple line is deployed.

The beasts deployed across the table.

Despite achieving their purpose of hitting the gortach with oil skins to keep him away- the vassal cavalry cop a flank charge but manage to get away from the gargoyles.

 The beasts make a charge into the vassal spear unit who take a beating but hold.

The Minotaurs fail in the combined charge with the beasts and the bsb into the taurukhs.

 The beasts lose and flee through the Minotaurs.

 The taurukhs eye off the Minotaurs and with a bit of help from the enemy being flammable, turn on their flaming banner and run them down.

The beasts rush past the pain train to smash into the vassals who lose but hold.

The pain train comes to the rescue of the vassal spear bros.

The taurukhs rampage continues as the mongrel archers fall and they follow on into the Gortach.

The big beast is just another victim of the taurukhs.

 The grind goes on with the infernal warriors hitting the flank to counter the flank charge of the beast lord and his elite infantry into the infernal engine. 

The beast lord tears apart the bsb but soon begins to run out of friends as the grind attacks from the pain train starts firing up.

The lord runs out of buddies and cops a heap of grind attacks to finally fall.

The final result was a big win for the ID with the beast sorcerer on a chariot the only enemy left.

MVP was the taurukhs who took out three units and the big beast.
Runner up was the infernal engine with skull cracker aka the pain train - the grind attacks were reliable and the RES 7 kept even the elite beast infantry held up for a heap of the game.

LVP was my inability to get the overlord and the prophet into a combat of my choice.

Overall, I am extremely happy with the new ID book. However, the success does depend on working out the synergy between the army and it’s flaming attacks on flammable enemies.

More wrath/khorne chaos warriors of the dark gods

In between reading the epic that is the new infernal dwarves book for the 9th Age, I have finished five more warriors of wrath/khorne including the command group.

For the paint scheme please check out part one of the journey to get a unit worthy enough of the Blood God.

These are all from the Khorne AOS dudes - can’t remember their name but ranking is a challenge and with paired weapons but I have also found the dudes with the spike fists are a little bigger and hence I doubled a couple of them up on a cavalry bases.

Here is the five I finished this week.

The champion and his oversized anime style weapon.

The standard and muso turned out really well - the horn comes from the old GW bloodletter plastic kit.

A couple of extra troops - really happy with the skull head dude. I think he is a named dude but I took off his great weapon and paired weapons him up to fit in with everyone else.

And finally with the other dudes I finished in part one. Eleven down and five to go.

Finished wrath/khorne chaos warriors of the dark gods

After a few experiments with colour schemes I have finished the first six warriors of wrath/khorne.

These bros need to be hit with the dull coat to tone done the gloss shade but I am really happy with the finished product.

Below are the paints and the respective washes I used on the colours over an oxide red primer from FINE surface primer.
