So Today I made the Order for -clears throat- Drum Roll Please

x2 Chaos Warriors Box
x1 Chaos Hounds Box
x1 Sorcerer Lord Of Tzeentch

Which will get here and will go piece by piece to complete my Army!

Huzzah!

Nice horse!
Liking where this is going.

Always loved this minis, CHAOS knights are the real deal and Your painting skill are giving them life.
Good job!

Steeds are basically done except for a few minor things, a little highlighting and detail work...Photos will follow soon!

So as I promised here are the pictures of the steeds and the current work I have completed.

I still have some work to do such as the bases, highlight and outline the saddles, do some highlighting on the metal, finish the tails and get the skulls painted. Which If I would just sit down and focus for an hour or two I could easily have done and then I would be able to move onto the riders and be just that much further to finishing my project!

So here they are in all their purple(unfinished) glory

Thanks for Looking

That gold and purple works so well together, really nice stuff. The knight set is definately quite intimidating and as said takes a damn long time to put together, but the reward in the end will be worth it.

Im not sold on the horse names though

It was more of a joke then actual names, chaos steeds need no names lolz

It has been done, one steed is fully finished and I wish I had a better camera to capture half of the details and no matter how many photos I took none of them looked as good as the model in person, blarg!

But either way, one is finished and tmrw I am hoping i will take the time one by one and finish the rest of the steeds....Pretty stoked!

On a side note just to get opinions, what color should I do my ensorcered Weapons? Light blue, turquoise, red or any other colors? I am open to suggestions.

I love seeing other Slaanesh WoC blogs! Really gets me motivated to keep the ball rolling on my own. Very nice stuff so far, can't want to see the warriors.

@buttlerthepug I am going for a Tzeentch/ Slaanesh army leaning more towards the lord of change for back story and Army play but using the fun Slaanesh colors.

I am excited to see someone else working on WOC as well and will keep me in line to get these puppies done.

Also for anyone interested this is the 1500 point list I am working towards (Credit to Boss Salvage and Johnny-Crass for their help)

Sorcerer Lord - level 4, talisman of preservation, infernal puppet = 350

Throgg = 175

19 Warriors - MoT, gleaming pennant, full command, shields = 359
7 Trolls = 315
5 Warhounds = 30
5 Warhounds = 30

5 Knights - MoK, musician = 240

Also a few more points to touch base on, I am a huge reader and love armies based on old lore and since this is a Fantasy based army, I am going to base them on "The Lost Children" of Isstvan V....Making them sort of a forlorn army passed thru the ages who were very unsure of how they fell and without knowing fell into the dark graces of the Chaos Gods for reasons of their own which will come into play later.

What do you all think? I really enjoyed the story think i could use my own creative mind to explain the spin on why they are the way they are and what may have been the cause of their fall.

Sweet!
Though it is kinda funny that MoK is on purple knights...maybe they got last in the line for "paint your own armour" day....

I might run them with the MOT, That was just an idea, and honestly this is Chaos, they have no f***ing opinion!!!! LOLZ

Nice Nice, looking good bud!

Keep it up

I like your Lost Children of Istvaan V idea, and it does make sense. Chaos does weird things, even if they are in different dimensions or time periods, although I think your moreso running for the good intentions but evil ending. Me I'm splicing in a little old fluff by having my army led by a chaos astartes. Also excellent painting of a dark purple, never thought about using washes in such a manner.

Would you care to enlighten as to how you are painting and highlighting//shading your purple?

Some nice painting in here! Keep up the great work!

Really enjoying the paint jobs so far, very crisp and clean, nice blends, really great work!

Thanks you all for the kind comments!

@Aegis I am going for more of a slow turn towards chaos with my storyline touching base on just how the entire army happened to fall into such power and out of favor of the beloved home.

@Eirikr I can not take all the credit for the development of this paint method Guita was the one who I got the original idea from, but the recipe is base white, the wash all the areas you want purple with Leviathan Purple wash until you
have your desired shade of purple (be somewhat generous with the wash) the go over the entire ares with Devlan Mudd Wash for the darker look then hit the recesses with Badab Black Wash and you have this desired look!

@Logg_Frog Thanks I really have been trying

@Skalk I will make sure to get them done so you can see the finished product.

@JD Thanks man, I want to see your necrons up soon as well!

I was thinking since the "Lost Children" happened in lore of the 40k universe it would make sense that it happened in fantasy. Therefore it would make sense of why there is no real record of it happening and only exists in stories..I am under the impression that Fantasy happened Aeons before the 40k universe. (Or that is how i like to think it happened)

The steeds are looking really nice, I think they should keep their names.

In Slaves to Darkness you could mix and match fantasy and 40k. I remember having a Chaos Warrior with a Bolter great fun.

@giraffex Sounds too good to be true

Aye those were the good old days. YOu could really do some crazy stuff with chaos back then. From the rumors such things may be returning soon. I personaly am getting ready to start a WOC force my self and am loving your progress here.

@Thenewmexicangeneral Well good luck, the knights can be kind of a B**** to put together but are beautiful models and I am excited to see what all happens with Chaos!

So in other related news, look what came in the mail today!

Thank you Warstore!

So today on top of getting 2/3 of my army in the mail and getting a few packages out to people I have traded with. I was able to actually finish another one of my horses and if I can finish my Graphic Design homework then should be able to finish the final 3!

I had a few details and highlighting to do and after taking pictures went back and fixed a few things I saw wrong (Sadly I was not able to take pictures after the repair)

This weekend I should have most of my work done and should not have too much of an issue starting the finishing touches of my riders! Yet I will say I always plan for the stars and usually barely clear the ocean since I have so many things I always find myself halfway focusing on.

I am also working on putting down some new ideas into my back story and should have a written copy of the basic Idea posted soon.

As usual I love all C&C and welcome it.

I also need some ideas on how to do my swords for my riders because I want them to have a magic color to them.

Thanks for looking

Cutthroatcure

Looking pretty good! Any ideas for what you will do for the basing?

@Buttlerthepug I am going to do it in a charred forest/wasteland motif so dark gray rocks with pieces of wood that looks burnt, but ill wait a while till I am able to do the bases so I can have all the materials!

So a little update on my work...I was able to beat the odds and fully finish all 5 steeds and will post pictures tmrw for you all to see! I am really happy with how they all turned out and will be working on the riders tmrw...Super stoked to have made so much progress!


Thanks for looking

Cutthroatcure

They deserve good riders, that's sure, I really like how they turn out

So as I promised as soon as I was finished with classes today I came home and set everything up and took pictures of all the finished steeds! I need to find a better way to take pictures or something because I just don't think it is throwing out the detail and feeling behind each model, so if anyone has any suggestions throw them my way please!

So here are the 5 finished steeds and tonight I will be working on the riders!

I also want to throw out a shout out to jmpnfool for a successful trade and recommended that if you have a chance to trade with this guy do it because it was very easy and done quickly!

But otherwise here are the photos of my babies all painted and stuff!

The new steeds are amazing! I am glad I decided to check this blog again

Also 700th post!

@Johnny-Crass Congrats and Thanks!
