    So bailed on my old timeframe. (will return to the chaos knights along with final basing here) I havent had much time in the last week or so and wanted to get back in with some building. Love this set and really fun to start a fresh kit this time.

    Ive swapped an arm on previous model so he has a lower height profile for storage, hence the arm-off. Middle is also horn-blower, the horn is simply hanging from the side. Right most model will be banner and trying to get it mounted on his back. I want the models to look more combat-ready rather then 2/3 guys being preoccupied juggling horns and banners.

    I should have used greenstuff so the mounting isn't perfect at the moment, as I've instead used cement-softened plastic as a putty but it refuses to set properly. The actual banner has a magnetic mounting and the white plate will be glued on as pictured.
    Ive got my storage sorted via base magnets and specially sourced black tins. From here I will be able to store my 2000 army, some optional units like khorgoraths and a chariot all nice and cozy:

    Empty bases are for the remaining 3 Skullcrushers to make up 12. Then my BT can disassemble axe, wings and base to fit in his own small box. If i could build/transport my Hellcannon thats 3k points actually.

    Also got a discounted NOS aspiring Deathbringer I thought I'd build up for fun. skipped these types when AoS launched but gotta admit he has a really slick style to him.

    just a few more skulls... asp champ has 16, nice number there. I will perform the same on the last five chaos knights before sanding them all together.

    Chaos Knights rebasing

    By CrimsonKing,


    Chaos Knights
    Getting started on the Knights, real life stuff has put a hold on em but getting them along.
    Ive taken some shots of the basing steps. I much prefer proper large Bottle cork opposed to the flaky sheet cork often seen in dollar stores.

    The bases are designed around the specific horse they work with, numbered on the bottoms.

     
    I use carpenters glue with a long needle tube tip to get it under and around skulls and rocks.
    After extracting from the sandbox and shaking, I use an exacto knife to clean the sand/debris edges. While the glue is still slightly wet it's best to press down the sand edging than to just it flick away.
    When dry I liberally paint the whole thing including cork and skulls with thinned carpenters glue.

    They need more work, but might still start basing the other 5 Cursed Lance Knights.

    Doggies and hangers-on

    By CrimsonKing,


    Khorne
    Stage 2 of the project is completing the fleshhounds (old conversions and new set), Kharnak, and basing my Insensate Rage Thirster's base.
    Here is the progress shots of the soon to be decently completed doggos:

    In case I bother to run a slaughterpriest (likely) or a Bloodsecrator (unlikely) had these for a good while:

    In the back (Thirster) ive been finalizing his base along with the dogs:

    My planning for the project is in stages:
    Stage 1 : 6 skullcrushers + mounted characters <complete>
    Stage 2: Flesh Hounds + Karanak, BT base
    Stage 3: 10 Chaos Knights
    Stage 4: 6 more (NoS) Skullcrushers (will be fixing group colors and musicians with these ones intermixed)
    Stage 5: Extras like Chariot, Skullcannon (made from old NiB Hellcannon) for army options.
     
    Up next, rebase and paint up these Knights:

    Hi there. Let me start by saying I've always been a fan of Khorne, way back to WHFB 5 when I first got into fantasy.
    I also have an extensive 40k collection, mostly Khornate Chaos CSM, Daemons etc.
     
    Figured AoS will be easier to get into post COVID compared to 40K 9th, and already a huge fan of Warcry. I had some skullcrushers waiting around for this eventuality, and got some more for the project. Here is some of the skullcrusher progress, starting with some second-hand recently purchased and a few stragglers I've had as 40K/WHFB leaders, which needed rebasing :
