Adding the bow string is a very nice touch. Also, the blue details is a nice divergence from usual chaos schemes.

They look beautiful all together. Echoing Eilif's comments about the blue being a nice touch!

I have about 20 of those chaos bowmen sitting around somewhere. Hopefully one day they get done justice like yours!

A cracking little warband! I love how the now string just completes the mini, you’ve got me seriously considering adding string to my 50ish High Elf Archers…

Here another project I wanted to make for a long time. 
An 80's style warband. Something it looks like it came from an He-man cartoon. 
Unfortunately I have not enough old monopose miniatures for a full warband, so I added some more modern miniatures. They will be replaced in the future, maybe. 
I'm also lacking monster men with the right look. Maybe some old Warhammer lizardmen? 

The monopose are from Talisman, warhammer quest, dark world, Battle master and harlequin miniatures. The big snake is a toy, but it fits. As for rules: this should work as Kurgan (marauder of chaos) warband for Mordheim. But mostly as a d&d encounter.

Wow, fantastic inspiration on the Talisman mini (a rarely painted chap who lies in my 'to be painted' pile having received a very dodgy bright green undercoat some time ago!)

Thanks for sharing

I'm not at home for a couple of weeks and I have limited resources, but I still have my trusted speedpaints and a box of 3d printed hobgoblins.

Here some more tests with the 3d printed hobgoblins. A simple head swap and a brighter paintjob to make a human warrior.

Excellent improvement on your painting the chaos warband is exceptional.

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.

Because I got a lot of questions, here a basic photo tutorial for my monopose orc recipe.

P.s. The unlabeled bottle is deathguard green.

I finally finished this big project, thanks to Gork and Mork for the speedpaints!
So many miniatures!
I tried to make this as oldhammer and cheap as possible.
Almost all the minis are from boardgames or are very common old plastic miniatures, the damaged one where kitbashed.
The only exceptions are the troll and the squigs. Because I don't want to pay those old metal buggers as jewelry. And the new plastic ones are too modern. So, all the squigs you see are sculpted by me, or are cheap toys I found at the thrift store.
Other notes: the troll is from bones reaper,it fits very well with the monopose look. The shaman is kitbashed from a damaged orc archer. It's a bit more dynamic than the others, but I don't want to pay gold for an old shaman. I have a painted weirdboy around that can fit the band, but I don't want to strip the paintjob.
One of the heroes is a 40k ork with a new bow.
The orc "rogue" it's from Dark World.

After the massive work with the orcs, it is time to a smaller project.
So here some wip of an unit of thunder warriors.
Now, how can I sculpt a fluffy mantle?
