Yo! This is my first time posting an update here in ages. I used to go by "Ziggy da' Goon" but that was a little old hat. I needed a change, and so this account was reborn... into the service of Chaos.

But not the Chaos you know today, no way. Over the last couple months I've been collecting, putting together and painting a small warband built almost entirely out of long OoP Chaos models. Reading up on my copies of the Realm of Chaos sourcebooks has sent my imagination soaring. There's just something about retro fantasy, especially GW retro fantasy that just makes me so happy! The models may not be... very pretty (especially the early edition daemonettes, yikes! Look at em!), but they've definitely got some sort of quality to them that makes me swoon.

Anyway, the goal was to create the most colourful and marvelous army I've ever put together, and I think I've certainly accomplished that. It's a nice change to my normal gritty style, and a refreshing escape from the super-serious atmosphere that GW has really pushed lately.

So here's the warband! Led by the debased and cruel Ashmodeus Harkonnen, this warband represents an unholy alliance by the two most vivid Chaos powers: Tzeentch and Slaanesh. I've set up an article page with the background, names, gifts and sagas of all the Champions in the force. If you're interested, head here to read up! http://www.dakkadakka.com/wiki/en/The_Host_of_Ashmodeus

























And I'm not done yet. Realm of Chaos covers both Fantasy and 40K, so here's a sneak peek at the next half of my venture into 80s Chaos...

Ah, gotta love those classic crab-clawed Daemonettes. Do you have the old KoS?

That would be a really cool addition to the army, but I haven't gotten my hands on one yet! Still holding out for the best deal!
