Here's my first real army mostly completed (except for the bases which I will get around to). 5,800 Point Chaos Horde. I always liked the idea that Chaos was meant to be more then just Chaos Space Marines or Daemons, but rather a combined horde of CSM, Daemons, cultists, mutants, and so on. All that's left is a Soul Grinder and making the bases match the terrain I will choose for my table.












All in all, the army consists of:
x1 Chaos Terminator Lord
x1 Chaos Sorcerer
x25 Chaos Space Marines
x5 Raptors
x5 Havocs
x1 Kharn the Betrayer
x8 Khorne Berzerkers
x7 Plague Marines
x3 Noise Marines
x1 Bloodthirster
x20 Bloodletters
x3 Bloodcrushers
x1 Daemon Prince of Tzeentch
x1 Herald of Tzeentch
x3 Flamers of Tzeentch
x10 Horrors of Tzeentch
x5 Screamers of Tzeentch
x5 Plaguebearers
x1 Fiend of Slaanesh
x6 Daemonettes
x2 Chaos Spawns
x40 Heretic Renegade Militia
x20 Mutants
x10 Beastmen
x10 Chaos Hounds
x1 Rogue Psyker
x1 Daemonhost (Realize it's not Chaos, but I've seen fluff about Chaos Sorcerers using Daemonhosts...)
x1 Obliterator
x3 Rhino
x1 Predator
x1 Land Raider
x1 Vindicator
x1 Defiler
x1 Soul Grinder (Planned)
x5 Big Mutants (Planned)

Well, they are all painted very neatly, but why not have a go at some shading techniques? Or even flock and sand the bases?

The photos are incredibly blurry quite often, try resting down the camera to get a stable shot.

As for the painting, it's looking good, but some of the metals are rather bright. Try some washes, maybe basecoating gold with tin bitz.

They look awesome, and its good to see people making the effort to paint an entire army. Maybe you could ry a badab black was on the metals. It is an awesome army though

Very impressive!

Of course you know the rule about bases. Moving to P&M.

Good again, but apart from the other stuff mentioned I think you should also throw a few highlights on to the tanks, as they look unfinished as they are. Other than that, Nice Job!

i hate to hammer a point home, but the painting leaves much to be desired, it is all very flat, as if you have painted by numbers. if you use washes and highlights to create depth then the army will look fantastic.

on the up-side, i'm very impressed at the effort required to create an army that large, and the models themselves look very nice, just... flat
