The Wendol

Welcome All

Thought I'd start with a brief background about me and Warhammer/AoS:

  • First taste of Warhammer Fantasy was around 1997
  • Always been a HUGE fan of the lore and the novels
  • Chaos has always been my favourite army (mortal armies in particular)
  • I have collected the books, novels and special characters for years - love the old chaos champions!
  • Never been involved in the scene, never owned , assembled, converted or painted an army (yes I am absolute theory boy)
  • Decided this year to build an army (FINALLY) & get involved in the scene along with my missus - managed to rope into it (Seraphon player)

So in this blog I will be documenting my journey to own a full army and hopefully go to some tournaments.

The Army

As mentioned, I have always been a follower of chaos, mainly Undivided but also Slaanesh, Tzeentch, Khorne and Nurgle (in that order, never been keen on the pus boys).

So with that I plan to start a Slaves To Darkness army. 

I am going to theme it similarly to the Wendol in the "13th Warrior" film based on the "Eaters Of The Dead" book by Michael Crichton (granted its no Jurassic Park and definitely not the best film or book made, but it is one of my favourite films).  Basically the Wendol are cannibal savages in the Norse lands who live in caves, wear bear furs and ride to battle on horses.

The plan is to have the whole army mounted (obviously I am not creating a all conquering tournament force) and every model will be converted. This will be a SLOW process but hopefully will be entertaining and informative and through this blog my skill will grow from the advice of you more experienced folk. I have never done any conversions or modeling before but am a fashion designer and did art a lot at school and college so hopefully that will land me in good stead.  

As mentioned previously, I will be creating this army at the same time as my missus is building a Seraphon army. We have purchased the Skirmish book and Path To Glory book so we will be growing our warbands whilst playing these with the aim to have a 2000 point force each at some point.
