The Colours of Chaos (4)

Daemons !!!

As I needed Daemons of Khorne and Slaanesh for my next WFRP game, this was a good opportunity to paint them.

Khorne - Bloodletters and Fleshounds

The Colours of Chaos (2)

Although my (painted) Chaos army increases in size on a regular basis and is quite big now (around 300 painted Chaos minis), most of the Chaos champions (sculpted by Jes Goodwin) still need to be painted. I will rectify this by painting some from time to time, alternatively with minis for other armies.

Here are four Chaos champions and two sorcerers, along with two familiars (these are not from Citadel, and honestly I don't remember where I got them from... 😕).

Slaanesh

 

Of Curved Beak, Talons and Claws

Those who started playing Warhammer Battle in 4th edition usually associate Griffons with Emperor Karl Frantz, or with an elven lord (whose name I forgot) in 5th or 6th edition. But, initially, Griffons are chaotic creatures...

Extract from Warhammer Battle rulebook (3rd edition):

The Colours of Chaos

Two weeks ago, I have painted a standard bearer for my Chaos Warriiors unit. It was meant to be undivided Chaos. But when I started to paint him, I couldn't miss the right breast on his armour, identifying him as a follower of Slaanesh. So I painted him and the banner in pale blue and purple.

Then it gave me an idea: converting other Chaos Warriors into standard bearers, one per Chaos God. And here they are. At the same time, I also painted five additional Chaos Champions. One of them was also converted into a standard bearer (undivided Chaos) and will probably be my Chaos army banner.

Khorne

Chaos Champions, Sorcerors (and little friends) and Warriors

Here we go again with Chaos minis. No new unit, but characters and reinforcements for existing units.

As I already painted a Khorne Champion some time ago, I decided to paint one champion per Chaos God. Of course, all of them sculpted by the genious Jes Goodwin. 

Then, I'm also adding two more sorcerors, also sculpted by sir Jes, and accompanied by their pets, Chaos Familiars.

Then, we have 5 Chaos Warriors, including a custom-built standard bearer and a musician, that will join my Chaos Warriors unit to round the total to 20 unit members. And finally, two Thugs Archers. These ones come from DieHard Miniatures (run by two ex-Games Workshop staff: Tim Prow and Chaz Elliot) that have a nice range of old school Chaos minis, including Thugs riding horses! (Citadel never produced these).

Champions

Tzeentch Champion:

Blood for the Blood God !

and skulls for Khorne's throne !

Here it comes: my first painted champion of Khorne. This one will certainly soon cross the path of my WFRP party. My players will taste his mace tail and bloodthirsty axe. 💀😈

Chaos Shock Elite Troops

At last: Chaos Warriors !!!

A unit of mighty Chaos Warriors led by a powerful Chaos Champion. All (except one I think) are Jes Goodwin sculpts. They are all among my favourite minis.
