This is the start of my warriors of chaos army:




Here is the first wizard, still got to do the disc, which he will be magnitized to.

[maelzch]

is he magnetised into the base too?

[Another Richard]

please say he is that would be very cool

[Ron Burgandy]

He is glued to the base, but then the base will be magnetized to the disc.

[fatolaf]

looking good so far mate, are you going gateway FTW then?

[Ron Burgandy]

Right here is the first of the marauders, decided to give him a BIG sword, not sure why but any way:

[maelzch]

If that metal isnt just due to the flash, then wow!

is the fur sculpted?

another good job!

[Ron Burgandy]

There no flash used to take the pic, and yes the fur is sculptued.

[Veldemere]

Good effort, are you going to do the whole army to that standard?

[maelzch]

the metal is brilliant in that case matt!

[Ron Burgandy]

Why thankyou, yup the whole army is going to be to that standard, will take me a while i recon. With a lord on dragon as a centre piece.

[Ron Burgandy]

As i assembled a knight last night, just wondering what colour to do the horse, same as the flesh on the marauder?? to go with the rotting flesh style, or go with a really dark black flesh??

[fatolaf]

dark baby....

[Another Richard]

How was the sword done? I am kinda assuming that much of the weathering texture was done at the construction stage rather than as a paint effect, though given your skills with the brush I can imagine being wrong?

Right long time since an update but here we go:
Painted chaos knight:





And work on my marauders:

[fatolaf]

really good work mate, when is your finish date for this army then?

[Ron Burgandy]

Honestly have no idea when the finish date is, a while im guessing, seeing as im converting marauders. and then there is the dragon to think about.
but anyway finished some marauders:

[maelzch]

Looking good, how long did those three take to paint?

[Ron Burgandy]

umm bout 2 days, 2 and a bit. snow keeps you in the house, so just painted.

[maelzch]

themed weather for your army!

[fatolaf]

very nice mate, maybe try to get some bigger brighter piccies of them though...

[Ron Burgandy]

Right here is the progress of WIP of my dragon so far:
Some concept drawings:

blue-tacked basics:

Then the build:


The mess of my work space:

Magnetic join for one of the wings:

More build pics:

Shutting one of the jaws of the two heads:

More building;



Enjoy

[Veldemere]

looking really good, that is going to be one hell of a centrepiece.

[cunningmatt]

Agreed, looks amazing!

[maelzch]

that's gonna take you so long to paint!  Looks great so far

[Another Richard]

I see you have the dragon bug too!   

That is some monster green stuffing on the head, I didn't have the stones to tamper with the heads lower Jaw! All-GW-based-dragons-must-be-shown-in-the-process-of-roaring!
It almost gives it a mournful expression which would have worked well on a zombie dragon.

Will you be attching the front arms or leaving it a 4 limbed beast? (your dragon you have as many limbs as you want)

[Ron Burgandy]

I thoguht i needed a difference between the two heads, hence shutting ones mouth.
This will hopefully make a loverly center piece for my fully converted warriors.
It will not have the silly stubby front arms, thought it looked more menacing without, and it will stayed four limbed, as though it uses the claws on the wings to crawl.

Believe this was my idea

Next painting bit, 5 hounds:


Then 5 chaos knights:


And the rest of my stuff so far on the shelf: (finished dragon in the back ground, just need some paint on it)

[Dave]

The freehand work on the cloaks really makes these guys stand out, great work.

To me... to you... 
Keep your end up! 

They look fantasic so far, please could you ad some finished shot of the green stuffing on the dragon it looks very extensive from the picture but I can't see any of the detail (which I am sure is there).

[maelzch]

looking great matt!

Another request for more shots of the dragon.

Not too much left to do for the doubles then! 

[fatolaf]

Looking really really good mate....
