Mixed Offerings

Those disc riders are so cool, you mayhave just inspired my next mini. Great work!

[Geckilian]

Cheers guys! The horrors will likely have their upper faces smoothed away, so they just have mouths. Generally I plan for them to be inky dark like the other I've done, yet with luminous teeth. The Brimstones wouldn't be converted, as that would be an utter faff.

I did manage to get 2 more disc riders done as well as another disc.

This leaves a rider for that green disc plus the Gaunt Summoner conversion, and a Stormfiend for skirmish, to paint up on my desk. The Blue Scribes and some familiars should be arriving Wednesday so I can put the purple and yellow scribe on that disc.

After that I'll only have the Lord of Change and a hell of a lot of horrors to paint so of course I'm now in the middle of converting a Chaos Lord on drake - I still need to bulk up the base and sculpt a saddle.

It has been a while! I moved on to other projects, most notably a pretty chunky Titanicus Legio with a host of Knights, then a second smaller Legio for my wife.

With the advent of Warcry I figured I'd give it a shot even though I wish it had a more in depth campaign system. As I liked some Chaos models from each warband but not a whole warband, I figured I'd convert up one, and settled on this as the starting inspiration from my Chaos army -

So, "Chaos" Daughters of Khaine it is, a la Realms of Chaos once again! I started on a couple more members, a khinerai and another melusai, painting the heads first to get a feel for them.

those khinerai and melusai conversions are breathtaking. straight out of pan's labyrinth!

[Geckilian]

Thank you!

Since it's almost been a whole day, I've managed to rebase the original Lamia, paint up antlers and finish the first khinerai too.

Also built a second khinerai and painted her head before finishing up the first. Bit hard to see as it's basically white on white, but still -

I've been busy again! This time round I took some older models I'd already painted and did some weapon/head swaps then repainted the weapons and armour (plus new bits) to match what I'd already done.

So that's 1 more Melusai rebased and redone, as well as 7 Witch/Warlock Aelves of warious weapon loadouts done! The 8th Witch Aelf sadly still needs her new head painting, but I needed a break.

All I have left now is 1 more Khinerai to finish painting, then 1 more Melusai and Khinerai to build/paint and I'll have all 15 models done for a well rounded roster.

It’s amazing how the difference a few well-chosen heads can make! 🙂

[Geckilian]

Thanks!

I've since painted up the last 2 harpies as well as finishing the final mook.

[Geckilian]

Having finished up the DoK warband, I moved on to another. I decided to make a Tzeentch coven to be able to use some disc riders, so elected for the Flesh eater Courts rules.

As such, switched 2 disc riders to 50mm bases and made a leader with Kurdross' floating chair and legs since I've had them a while and a regal floating guy seems fitting. They'll count as the Crypy Flayers or Horrors. For ghouls I opted for Blue Horrors to match base size, and got one done and a few more in progress.

Cheers for the likes guys. Got more painting done today on my day off - finished another 6 grots, a second witch aelf (thin ponytail) and nearly completed the sorceror. He just needs the top of the staff and staff gems painted. Pretty pleased how his eyes came out as I highlighted his pupils.

 

That's a great job I love it!! Can I ask you the colors you used to make the desert base? 

[Geckilian]

Thanks.  The bases are Agrellan Badland texture, with a thinned Agrax Earthshade wash before a heavy Baneblade Brown drybrush then a light Pallid Wych Flesh Drybrush.
