Made a start on the Chosen.

More progress on the front rank:






Automatically Appended Next Post:
Painting the bases up (left to right):

1. Basecoat Rhinox Hide
2. Successive drybrushes starting with Bestial Brown
3. Then Balor Brown
4. Screaming Skull
5. White Scar
6. Wash of Gryphonne Sepia




Also started to build up the shields:


Initial mock-up:

Concentrating on getting the basecoats down across the unit before moving onto the detailing and the Exalted. Second rank progress:

Brief update with the project. The judging for Armies on Parade is on the 14th so I need to kick into overdrive this week to get the painting finished. What is left to finish:
-Chosen: Back rank then detailing (weapons and cloaks)
-Exalted BSB: Basecoated. Will have similar scheme to the Lord
-Warriors: Finish details
-2 Dragon Ogres: Basecoated
-Hounds: Not started yet.

Then there's just the small matter of building and painting up the display board.

Right now, I'm getting basecoats down on the final few Chosen and cracking on with the shields.

Most of the Exalted is done now. I'll leave the blending on the weapon and cloak until the morning when I've got decent light.

Finished the Exalted bar the freehanding on the banner:

Just about done with the painting. Only have the Chosen shields and banners left.
The display board almost ready to start painting also:



I have had to simplify the board partially because of time and to avoid the display becoming too crowded.


Annnd I've run straight into a calamity. The board just isn't coming together at all and I've found I have insufficient paints to finish it.
I can still scavenge the altar for a nice display for the Chosen but the board itself is now a lost cause. I'm kicking myself for leaving the board too late.
The sole consolation is that I've now got a nice looking WoC army, Ill get some decent pics up of the individual units up once the Chosen are done somepoint over the weekend.

Going back to working on my Daemons, testing out a new Slaaneshi scheme based on how I did the Chaos Lord's mount. I've started with The Masque for now and will get the rest of the army restarted once I've finished with the Warriors.

Previous scheme:





New scheme:







The new list I'll be working on (1250 pts):

Slaanesh Herald on Steed
2 Tzeentch Heralds
2x 14 Pink Horrors
18x Daemonettes
14x Seekers
2x 5 Screamers

Progress on the Slaanesh Herald:




Still trying to get the pose nailed down before doing the GSing.

Wow.
I dont play fantasy but i love the techniqe that you are using to paint your minis. The base coat, wash highlight looks very clean.
Nice conversion work too. The sheilds out of plasticard and the GS cloak. Good to see you are just going for it with every technique thats out there.. Love it. Cant wait to see more. Keep up the good work.

Cheers mate

Got the GSing done on the Herald so I can get started with repainting the Slaanesh contingent later on today.








Reason for the slightly slowed progress on the Herald is largely due to this lot. I joined a Necromunda campaign starting down my local club and have spent most of the week converting up a bunch of Delaques. They are a mix of Chaos Cultists and Guardsmen with some GSed coats and plasticard bases.

Pausing briefly from the Daemons to finally get my Warriors up. Most units are done now and I'll have the Chosen up later on as I'm still working out their banners.

Hounds:





Khorne Warriors:







Undivided Warriors:







More Dragon Ogres:

Haven't had much time for painting the last month due to uni workload, so any updates will be slow up to the middle of December. Ill be spending a few hours here and there working on my Delaques as our clubs Necromunda campaign is getting going now.
So far here's the leader with the basecoat and some washes down, and a first attempt at hazard stripes

More progress:
Attempted some light weathering




And some blood

First semester at uni over now so I can now get back to painting, and at last get started on the Chaos Dwarfs I've been planning for a while now.
The first unit up is the 10 man Fireglaive unit that made a brief appearance earlier in this thread. Here's the first guy acting as a test model:



The scheme for the armour is a dark grey-blue with brass trim. So far the armour is just about done and I'm about to start on highlighting the brass.

Armour and trim done on the first five Infernals:

Slightly better pics without flash:

First Infernal done:



Also started on the bases for the unit:

The use of the Incubi as Chosen of Slaanesh is awesome, had never thought about that before.

Love that freehand on your Khorne Warriors banner.

Cheers man

Half of the bases painted:



First Infernal on the new base:

Front rank coming together, just need to finish off the Fireglaives:

Front rank done:

Finished the remaining Fireglaive Infernals:







The completed unit:

Got a small 1k tournament in a week so working on getting my daemons up to at least table top standard.
The list I'm using and progress so far:

Slaanesh Herald on steed (W.i.p)
2x Tzeentch Heralds (1 done)
2x 10 Horrors (1 unit done)
15 Daemonettes (next up after the Seekers)
12 Seekers (W.i.p)
2x 3 Screamers

Progress so far: 3 Seekers and Herald basecoated (just the riders so far)

Been quite a lot busier than I'd thought the last week so, rather than having to rush through the Daemons I'm instead taking my Necrons to the tourney since there're already done. This means I can now crack on with the Daemons at my usual pace (i.e. glacial).

The first of the Seeker Steeds:

More very slow progress on the steeds. The one posed on the rock is the Herald's mount.

The first (of 15) Seekers is done:

Finally found some motivation to start painting again. The current project has shifted to Beastmen now I've finally settled on a colour scheme and right now I have 20 Bestigors on the go:

Test model w.i.p (armour and flesh):





Also, one of only two models actually completed this year, a slightly reworked Beastlord:

Slow progress beats no progress, got the major weathering down on the front rank:

Yet another new project though this is more painting and modelling than gaming oriented. I'm making a small Harlequin force in the same greyscale scheme I used for this Shadowseer I made for the last Nerdcademy comp:


(just pointing out the faceplate and holosuit is meant to be chrome, I simply cant do it properly, yet.)

First unit and Solitaire:



I should consider renaming this to 'futile attempts to stick with a project without being distracted'.
