Warhammer Chaos, the Progress.

 I have been about my business. 

That business has mostly been life but when I can I sit at a small table in my bedroom/workshop and paint little plastic toy soldiers...or sometimes scale models. It varies. 

I have been playing an on going series of games with a friend of Warhammer Renaissance and it has been most enjoyable indeed! Initially I assembled a High Elf army with a considerable pool of bows, Seaguard and Archers, and taught him to fight in the shade. Unfortunately he did that *very* well and mostly I lost although not without a lot of casualties within his force. 

We moved on to new armies as a friend gave me a big pile of chaos models from the early 2000's and event some from the 80's. So I began raising the forces of chaos and he began assembling a force of Dark Elves. Let me introduce you to who is in the warband so far...

Please say hello to Rexor, a champion of Khorne who charges into battle astride his might Juggernaut he has lovingly dubbed Blood Biscuit. He rarely survives a game, but he always has fun. 

Rexor's personal knights the Disciples of Blood. They terrify everyone with their classic 1+ save but again, rarely do they survive. Also again, they have a lot of fun not surviving. 

Zhar-zoraz of Unquenchable Rage, hell cannon, with Ivar, Kazrith, and Molgrun its chaos dwarf handlers. It is surprisingly accurate so far, but sometimes the crew doesn't make it. 

Thorgrim the Beast, beast master of the warband. Always rushes into battle with his hounds and has a bad habit of throwing the beasts at the biggest foe he can. 

Rexor's personal guard although they never have the chance to actually guard him. Self named the Flesh Eaters they have been known to be cannibals when the battle is over. 

Barbaric chaos thugs are always present. These are hoping to catch the eye of the chaos god of secrets and be blessed by its chaotic gifts. Others in the warband call them 

Thoth Amon, the master magister and current commander of the warband. He throws the powers of Tzeentch about with truly chaotic intention blasting his enemies or turning them into spawn.

An alternate figure for Rexor, dismounted, should he decide to take the field with his guard or should his Juggernaut be slain from under him.

Many other units are planned for this warband. When its done it will be of large size with a sub-band for each of the four primary chaos gods. right now I am working on a unit of tzaangor models as Gor beastmen, a unit of thugs with flails, some ogres, and a hero of Nurgle that will likely be a lord and the new general. 

I'll try to photo those (badly) and post them as well :)

First Goal Complete

 I meant it to be a week between the first post and this second but I did not do that, which is okay, this is a fun thing and setting a goal and failing at a fun thing is fine.  I got the four Minotaurs onto 40mm round bases and my battle standard bearer painted up as shown below.  Again not the best photography but I think you can get the point. I am going to make a paper banner for my standard and I've been kicking around a variety of idea from skulls to magic runes. I also had the idea of two smaller ones hanging from each side but I have not settled yet.  Next is six Bestigors to body guard my general and follow him into battle! Also maybe I'll get that standard done too!

What are we doing...

 I started a new blog because I want to talk to the world. Then I didn't really do any posts. Life takes priority over hobby. Not really a revelation huh? I have not been hobby dead though and I've done many things. I've painted a lot of models and I've explored Warhammer Renaissance with a friend. I have *not* done a thing with building a Beastman Army...well wait let me check...okay well I did finish the army standard bearer with a paper hand painted banner. I will take a picture if I can get my shit together.  I'm going to throw a bunch of photos on this post, mostly Warhammer Ren. I'm really enjoying the move back to rank and file battle along with the less complex but more effective (imho) rules. It is a free rules set you can get from the Facebook group. I came to Warhammer Fantasy in its fifth edition and got beat up by knights for a year before I obtained a Slann Mage-Priest and turned the game around. For Warhammer Ren I've built an army of High Elv...

A soldier, a flag, and picture...

Image
 I've started painting the warband.  My intent is that this portion of the larger army be Khorne oriented. In WHR you cannot give marks to soldiers, only characters, but they will have the right color so to speak. Please observe this test soldier: A single soldier filled with fury. You can tell by his pose.  Red armor, black leathers, gray cloak. Nothing special beyond what I feel is a solid table top paint job. I will have 12 of these non-gentlemen in the vanguard force and they will be the center of the army. Chaos warriors in WHR are based on the 4th/5th edition and are quite strong with two attacks and good stats across the line. They are expensive though and these are 22 points each.  I also had bits and pieces of a box of chaos marauders on foot. I kit bashed the one soldier left on the sprue with a variety of pieces and did some cuts and glues and all that model stuff. When the chirurgery was done I had my very own army standard bearer. Again, please take a lo...
