The Realm of Kaos

[Kronos]

an army of rotting. blaoted norsemen led by some elegant handsome norse prince, i think that would look very nice, how all the army worships this one prestine figure, and how he does nor judge them but only asks for loyalty.. like 300's persians ?? got a bit carried away there.

nice work and that last knight too, very chaos art work.

and please please do the army in blanche style ... or at least the nurgle-esque units and the others in more blended smoother style perhaps for some variation ?.... in the end it's the bases that link the army together not the colour scheme imo.

[Magos Errant]

Really good job so far, Kaos! I like the paint style. Excellent job!

[SevenSins]

excellent painting and some real skills with the GS!

Any tips on sculpting cloaks? mine always look so, i don't know, flimsy?

[Punk_in_Drublic]

I rate this thread A for Awesome. GReat GS work on the minis, please get to the painting of the as soon as possible!

Laters,

Wow, your knights have the potential to be truly awesome. You're obviously quite talented with your use of putty. Very impressive. I like the theme you've got here, can't wait to see more.

[Kaos]

Cheers guys! Sadly no pics today but tomorrow i will have some primed knights to show.

I have a problem! I dont like the current marauders on foot. I want a more cultist feel to my marauders.. a bit more "citystyle". Are there any good plastics with cloaks around or that could be cloaked and look like suitable nurglish marauders? Flaggelants perhaps? Seem expensive.. Im thinking about Brettonnian peasants, could be really good as nurgle marauders if combined with something else perhaps.. or just as they are and add skulls, chaosmarks and the rot of father nurgle.. Hmm... Ideas?

-Kronos
Hehe.. as a matter of fact i have a Slaanesh Daemon Princess that is some 85% finished i could use. Should be strong enough to bind together an army with false promises heh..

Lol, we will see about the blanchy style. will have to try it out as i go i think and i suspect as before that when i have painted the last mini in the army i want to remake the first ones. :P

-Seven Sins

These are the first cloaks i have done so im no pro i must say. simply made a flat piece of GS and put it on the general area where i wanted it and then since it was so thin it was able to fold itself for me with the help of different sculpting tools, making it look like cloth or such. But i must say, this was rotten nurgle cloaks and i dont know if i could make goodlooking elven ones for example. Clean and intact. Oh, i learnt one thing tho. Dont press it down to hard here and there since the GS can get stuck on details and wreck the folds and such. Perhaps when im better i can make some picture tutorial of how i do it.

Hey dude, cool seeing you here too. The minis are getting dry from priming right now so tomorrow the brush will fall upon one of the little kniggits. Keep watching

[Punk_in_Drublic]

Me thinks that your best off with the flagellants, with some ghoul bits thrown in the stew. Yeah, a bit pricey, but you could probably get them cheaper off e-bay than in the store. I'm starting a corsair themed dark elves army, and whilst pricey the old dark elf warriors are simply not an option. I'm planning on basing all of my warriors/rxb's off the corsair plastics, and I buy mine for like 2/3rds of the price including P&P from ebay traders.

I totally agree with your view on the marauders, but a couple of mates of mine have made some decent ones with mixing in bits from the new mounted ones. your GS skills would aid the cool factor greatly.

LAters,

flagellents with chaos warriors heads (keep the woc theme) i like the idea of ghoul heads with them Punk said but might make them look a tad vc (unless you only use the more human looking heads. either way you could also pull it off by just using flagellents and then add some of that lovely gs skills, add some blaoted bellies, sores, wounds etc, that would make them look like aplagued followers looking for salvation.

I've been buying Mordheim possessed henchmen models for a cultist marauder unit, and also some similar ones from Ral Partha and other manufacturers. I've some painted Ral Partha minis in my plog.

[Kaos]

Hey again, back from the void where daemons steals my time to post cool pics here! have been superbusy and still managed to play a 2 vs 2 warhammer battle. i tested chaos, with some unpainted and proxy to see what i should buy. The dark gods spotted this at once and made my army crumble and my fellow chaosplayer too. BIG LOSS! My nurgle knights charged a saurus unit with 4 knights, one killed by a fanatic.. Frenzied and the saurus had the spell that lower T and S with one per turn you keep it up. I cause one wound... ONE... 1... And lost 2 knights myself and ran like a schoolgirl (altough, a smelly one) and was caught haha... 4 ogres with full command, chaos armour and reat weapons, MoN and frenzy from a slaanesh spell rocks on the other hand. Caused 16 wounds on a charge lol..

Yes yes, enough of that crap. I managed to pain a knight too and behold my to this point coolest model. Im very satisfied with it and the knights are awesome to paint, really fun!




ok so the pics are not the greatest but the batteries died and need to be recharged. And also i will take better ones when the whole unit is finished with bases and a matt varnish to kill the shine from inks and such.

[Kaos]

Oh and on the marauders. I will use bretts Men at Arms with some chaos bits here and there as nurgle. And GS of course. They give me the right feel after some consideration.

What do you guys think of mixing nurgle with slaanesh? The beutiful and the ugly! And besides, their magic really goes well together bosting units and other really good effects. Gotta love Curse of the leper together with Ecstatic Seizures moahahaa...

[mrtn]

That knight looks great, looking forward to seeing it based.

[Elazar The Glorified]

That Knight looks totally awesome. Not sure what I can add to that!

[coalescence]

You sir, are a genius. That's just stunning!

[Hjalmar Cirkus]

The paintjob behind these figures is AMAZING!

[daliskhan]

awsome work man, keep it up.

[Warlord Ghazak Gazhkull]

How dare you to leave the greenskins for chaos. But apart from that the models look great. I'm looking forward to the next update.

[Mr.chair]

Looking excellent, now base that ******!

[Dark_Mage99]

Fantastic knight, dude!

[Kaos]

Cheers guys, glad you like it.

As for the basing i will wait with it until i painted them all so i can fiddle around with different heights and such on them. Not sure yet if i will use some cork and put some on rocks or just leave them on plain ground. have a hard time seeing heavy cav running trough rocky terrain but maybe these have MAD SKILLZ lol


-Ghazak
Dont worry, there will be greenskin painting made and lots of it before the end of may because im going to some tournaments to get my ass kicked hehe.

Now im off to paint the unit champion, might be finished tomorrow. I hope!
