Sooo, I have taken my first baby steps into starting Warhammer Fantasy. After some talks with a few locals and Austinites, I decided it about time to get my hands on some models and dive in. I knew I wanted to do an all cavalry army. I have always wanted to play a khorne army too. So, I've taken those two ideas and decided upon an all Cavalry Khorne Warriors of Chaos army! After the auction we had this weekend, I had some gift certificates from a few things I sold and picked up the Khorne lord on Juggernaut as well as a box of Chaos Knights. Right after buying those, a guy came into the shop and after talking with him for a little while, found out he needed some tau, which I so happened to have sitting at the house! So I picked those up and ended up with yet another box of chaos knights!
I got right to the modeling when I got home and stabbed and poked and glued the hell out of my hands all knight until the first unit of knights were ready to go. A spray of chaos black later and they were ripe for some paint. The next morning I got right to it and started painting. These guys will definitely not be painted to a really really high standard, I'm just looking to make them tabletop standard so that they look nice on the field of battle! I'm not trying to win a GD with these guys for sure x.x....
Well, all that said, I'm sitting with only one more knight left to do red basecoats on and then it's to the details I go! Enough talk though, here's where we sit right now:

Looking good so far, man!
I think the only criticism I have is the reds are a bit too bright for me. I would have started with a much darker shade and worked up. But that's partially just my preference for reds on Chaos models and as you said you're just going for tabletop and extensive shading with reds isn't exactly quick work.
I'm really excited to see more of this army. Between you an Goatboy's Mortals of Chaos I'm getting a bit tempted by Fantasy. Luckily for my wallet have too many other things on my list to actually act on those temptations.

You can never beat your first time. The second generation is shinier, stronger, faster and superior in every regard save one, and it's an unfair criticism to level, but it simply can't be as original. - Andy Chambers, on the evolution of Games Workshop games |

I like them for sure. I am tempted by all cav'ing out my chaos army, and I might do that in the coming months as I find things to paint besides some yellow damned marines hahaha.
But keep it up. We will have to play and test a bunch. I am even playing the Lonewolf GT this coming March too. Most likely I will lose a lot, but hell it is always fun to try something different out. And Chaos mortals is a pretty cheap army.

Awesome stuff. Really digging the metal.
I'd suggest either drybrushing a bit of orange onto the raised red sections, or at least edge it with some. It would go a long way into giving it a bit of more depth.

Damn, this is your "not really trying, just tabletop for me thank you" standard?
That is veeeery nice. I was thinking that these were pure ownage, and then you go "yeah I´m not even really trying...."
Wow.
What I´m trying to say is; Nice models, keep up the good work. The metals are amazing, so shiny and evil.

Hey all, first off, thanks for all of the comments ^_^. It's really early in their development and it's nice to see people interested in what I'm doing here!
A response from me concerning the reds: They're far from done. Expect a darker black red with highlights on the rider armor, and a brown red with highlights on the mounts.

Badab Black is, quite possibly, the essence of awesome in liquid form.
Nice looking reds grey_death. Will be damn good looking on the table, I´m sure.

Lookin good so far Grey! Gonna steal some ideas because I bought the same box of knights while I was in the store a couple weeks ago. Not intending to play, but they were so damn cool looking I had to buy them heh. [bbl when updated for sure!]

IMHO the red on the horses after badab blacking and highlighting is perfect but the highlighting on the knight is too harsh.

That red armor looks really nice for "table top quality". Those look really striking as a unit. Now just some light color in there to create some contrast to the figs.

Thanks for all of the comments guys.
Gonads, I think the next round of knights will be painted in a different manner from what I've gone with here. I had an idea and ran with it, and while it's effective enough for a tabletop unit, I think there would have been an easier method to get much the same results with a nicer look had I gone with simple layering. I think the next round of knights will be a bit nicer (while still maintaining the speed!).
Details should go down today. So expect photos tomorrow sometime! All depends on how busy we are today at work.

Looking good. I've got myself two units ready for undercoat myself. Am planning on one Khorne and one Nurgle in colours.
Great to see an example of a great looking quick table top job.

I've got some Chaos Warriors and Chaos Knights that have been living at a friend's house for nigh on 9 years now (I hadn't realized I'd left the army with him) that I'm hoping to get back over the holidays. This is inspiring me to look at repainting them from what I remember them being.

The new horses are the reason I would ever get into fantasy. They're awesome. Of course, mine would be green, because nurgle is better. No offense.

Sorry for the late reply on this but these fella's are looking great mate! The red on the armour looks perfect and goes great with the gold and metals.
Keep it up, looking forward to seeing them finished!

Alrighty, well work was much more hectic than I was planning on! Can't help when people have emergencies I guess ^_-...
I did get some time in on my knights, but was only able to get one of them to 100% Painted status (Still need to add some grasses ^_-). Here he is in all his fase-smashing glory:

When I saw that first picture I was a bit worried that you were going to leave it like that, but reading and checking through this thread I must say that your Knights are starting to look pretty damn good!
Can't wait to see the rest of those Knights finished as well!
