Chaos militia build up thread

[elotsip]

Well, I have started working on my new chaos militia army. I picked up 33 FW chaos milita plus some marauders and I already had some cadians. Some of these pics really suck because of the black primer but it will give you an idea of the direction I'm going. I will post updated pics as often as needed to show my progress.

Here are a couple of maruader/cadian guys. Tell me what you think of them. I was thinking they would make good traitors devoted to khorne.





And some very minor changes on these cadians. Just simple head swap to make them look more deshevled and unkept.

Some minor green stuff work on the leman russ to make it look corroded and corrupted.






And what chaos army would be complete with out some daemons? So very old circa 1988 bloodletters which I think look so much better than the current ones. I bought these new way back then and finally decided to repaint them and use them again. I've got some flesh hounds from the same time period I may use as well.






Well, that's it so far. I have about 50 chaos militia assemlbed.

i've never seen such black primed minis in my life... it almost seems as if you photoshopped them out. Love the ol' school letters! Awaiting eagerly!

[violenceha]

I love the fact you're using the old bloodletters and fleshounds, they're so much better than the newer sculpts.

[Easy E]

Those old school Bloodletters rule... I always felt they looked much more demonic.

I can't comment on the primed guards because, I can't see any detail. They are just silohouttes.

The headswaps seem suitable, but I think you would want to spread them in various squads to make them seem more unique.

Prototype for the marauder/cadian hybrid.

Those Bloodletters are excellent. The models are indeed very horrific and it is such a shame that GW newest models are so, well, poor. Your painting is very indicative of the original Realm of Chaos days as well. It was really nice to see them...

Your guardsmen are also excellent, the marauder/cadian mix is brilliant. Very representitive of a feral, brutal world.

I am looking forward to seeing more of your work.

I love those old bloodletters. I have been searching eBay endlessly in search for some myself. I am gonna follow this thread to see how your milita turns out.

I love them! I've got a few militia on order. If I can make mine half as good, I'll be happy. Keep it up.

[Rictus]

Very, very nice. Really like the paint scheme you have gone for on the Militiamen and the painting itself is excellent.

I did notice one thing though - Slaanesh icons on the Leman Russ and Khorne deamons in the same army? Are you going for a undivided force with elements from all the powers rather than one centred on a particular god?

[elotsip]

The slaanesh tank are actaully from a slaanesh army I am also working on at teh same time. I will have one slaanesh/undivided army and one khorne/undivided army. Why build one army when you can build two! haha. I'll post some pics of them as well soon.
