This blog is about my hobby: collecting and painting miniatures (mainly fantasy) and playing epic Warhammer battles (mainly 3rd edition). The blog's name is a contraction of Old Metal (lead miniatures referring to Oldhammer) and the famous song 'Metal Militia' from Metallica (yes, I'm a great fan of Metal music).
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... 😕).
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).
