Chaos/war hounds

After a recent bring and swap I finally got some old GW metal chaos hounds to use as warhounds in the 9th Age.

As I have brown and flock bases I went for a white wolf paint job.

I used the white contrast paint and a wolf grey with black wash for the fur.

I have twelve finished but will usually run them as two units.

It’s time to release the hounds.

Sigvald the magnificent/ Lord of Lust

After spending time in the pile of shame that is my unpainted collection I finally finished Slaanesh’s favourite blonde lord of chaos, Sigvald the Magnificent.

Painting used lots of different paints but the gorgeous blond locks came from the yellow GW contrast paint.

The purple cape and wash ties him in with his unit of warriors.

Wrath Chosen Knights/Khorne Bloodcrushers

This is the first of my Wrath Chosen Knights/Khorne Bloodcrushers.

The champion is a conversion with a great weapon from the AoS khorne box and a bloodthirster head and horns.

Paint scheme follows my previous wrath/khorne Warriors.

Next up with be some more bros to bulk out the unit using the old metal bloodcrushers and plastic knight bodies.

Lust/Slaanesh Chaos Warriors of the Dark Gods Part 2

More blondes finished today that were assembled and painted the same as those in Part 1.

The standard is a conversion with an old slannesh standard.

One of this group is a brettonian peasant head to show even the lowest in the totem pole can reach their potential by selling their soul to Slaanesh.

Lust/ Slaanesh Chaos Warriors of the Dark Gods

After a short break it’s back to the paint station for some lust/slaanesh warriors.

These dudes are the previous GW warriors with the heads from knights errant, peasants and high elves.

As they will be led by Sigvald they all embraced blonde locks since their dear leader tells them they have more fun that way.

Paint scheme is as follows-

Boots, trim, cloaks and pelts:

Armour and weapons:

Washes - only the face and hair used the fleshshade as the violet purple was used across everything else.

I aim to have a unit of applied 20 so I am going to need more Druchii Violet.

Prophet of Luger on Kadim Chariot

With a new army book with some new options for my beloved big hats, I decided I wanted to have access to everything that was available for my never ending Infernal Dwarves army.

The option for a sorcerer on a daemon chariot gave me a chance to use a spare hellcannon crew member who in a former life was a slaver that was part of my warband based on the excellent Black Dwarf Mordheim list, to become a Prophet of Lugar on a Kadim Chariot.

Although I did not have a single spare beast to pull the chariot I did have some horses (previous GW chaos knight horses) that could be painted in a flame and armour manner to represent the Kadim.  The chariot comes from my tomb king collection and has a few GW marauder shields that I use for the rest of my army.

Banner poles have some horned skulls and the banners are reprints of the white dwarf presents chaos dwarfs book.

I have only used the model once and intend to try it a few more times as I like the idea of a mobile wizard with flaming attacks and an aegis save.

Great weapon Chaos Warriors of Sloth/Nurgle

A recent second hand purchase resulted in me obtaining a few extras of the old GW chaos warriors.

After a trip to the dettol bath and with the addition of the great weapons you can astonishingly still get in a blister from the evil empire, I painted the bros up.

These dudes use the same paint method as my previous Sloth/Nurgle Warriors.  They will bulk up the heavily converted great weapon wielding bros seen here and here.

Infernal Bastion construction

With the release of the awesome new Infernal Dwarves book for the 9th Age I decided to move the warriors of the dark gods to one side and start work on the new options for the big hats.

First up is the infernal bastion- a twisted construct to deliver the IDs to anyone foolish enough to think that hiding behind walls or defended obstacles will save you from the sins of zharr.  It’s 360 degrees shooting and magic arc will also make those pesky ambushers think again about coming out from hiding behind my line.

My bastion comes again from the 40k conquest periodical and uses two armoured containers and a heap of the spiky bits that came with the rhino.  The battering ram uses the alternative head from the old metal GW gorger.

Painting will be in my traditional colours of liche purple and hashut copper.
