Warband Progress Part 4

Back again,
Day off today so while on a roll, I think a second post is in order.

More finished miniatures for my warband for the Oldhammer Event, As I am running out of Realm of Chaos Beastmen I though it would be nice to regenerate some truely old school miniatures and add a couple of pre-slotta Beastmen to my warband.

Here are the latest additions.

Iguana Headed Broo. See Broo range here. For those of you who have no idea what a Broo is, they are the original half man half beast from the Runequest universe that sowed the seeds for all chaos beastmen created ever since. Fine Miniatures for 1983.

Next we have Walrus Man from the C38 - Chaos Beasmen range, I also have the Beastmen Cavalry somewhere in the loft so better get mooching.  Another great sculpt, he has loads of layers of blubber and a really cool skull design on his shield.

I have also recently painted a Chaos Thug, Skull Helm (third from left) and rebased the other the three which I painted up many years ago for the Slaine RPG I was running at the time.  Many more of these to come and I still have to get around to taking a photo of my doubles to trade.

Chaos Thug Range: 0210, 0211, 0212, 0213

Now I am not a big fan of Dwarves (probably because I am rubbish at painting them) but I had a go anyway, heres my attempt at a 'Stunty Sven' the Chaos Dwarf.

Chaos Dwarves

And my attempt at an 80's style citadel shield (see Orlygg's blog for a great guide on 80's citadel style shields), I guess practice makes perfect.

Hope you enjoy

Warband Progress Part 3

Hi Folks,
More Beastmen for my Khornate chaos warband for the coming Oldhammer Event. I am almost out of Realm of Chaos Beastmen so the next additions will be pre-slotta Beastmen and Broo, old school all the same. I am not going to buy any RoC Beastmen from off Ebay as I am sure there is a price hike on RoC miniatures going on since the announcement of the Oldhammer Event. (Scandalous)

Warband Progress Part 2

Hey Friends,
As you know my Khornate chaos warband is progressing for the Oldhammer Event and here are the latest additions. I have tons of follower miniatures to paint and choose from, I still have to roll and find a suitable RoC chaos champion miniature now. I have a few duplicate chaos thug miniatures for swap which I will be posting on here and the B.L.O.O.D forum soon.

Guess what I have been painting? Warband Progress Part 1

Hello RT fans, Rogue Trader Adventurers I hear you say, WRONG!

Today's post is a bit off topic as I am having to run two painting projects at once and share the time equally between the two.  I do have several more RT adventurers 80% finished but these will be coming to you later in this week (Hopefully).  Anyway to all you Oldhammer fans out there you may be aware of my intentions of coming to the Oldhammer Event at the Foundry so I had to discipline myself and start painting my pool of Realm of Chaos miniatures to choose from. Here is my first chaos miniature of the new millenium, I am going with a Khornate Chaos Warband.

Chaos Beastman. (see here for catalogue entry)

There is loads of inspiration over on Orlygg's Blog so get over there and get reading.

p.s. PVA is still wet on the grass tufts at the time of photo, please ignore.

Genestealer Patriarch

Hey, apologies for the lack of updates but the house is in a right state as I have decorators in sorting out my new hobby room so painting is out of the question, everything is stored in cupboards and I am confined to the kitchen prepping and stripping miniatures. I can't wait to upload some pictures of the finished room which will be dedicated to miniature painting and other hobby related matters and hopefully I will be able to sneak bucket loads of Rogue Trader/Oldhammer stuff out of the loft and passed the missus.

Today's miniature is a running Genestealer Patriarch that I think was released towards the end of the Rogue trader era, I finished it last month. I am not the biggest fan of this miniature but I never purchased the more favoued Genestealer Patriarch on throne as I think it had sold out at the time, another painted version can be seen here on the Lexicanum site which I highly recommend.

The miniature looks like it was scuplted by Bob Olley to me but I am not 100%.

I painted this one up for our Dark Heresy/Deathwatch campaign but our Games Master went and sourced a more modern Broodlord from Ebay so it is now redundant for a while.

I love the Genestealer cult necklace it wears.

And here it is running amok around a Space Hulk.

On another note while painting miniatures is not an option for at least two weeks, I have been prepping Realm of Chaos miniatures hoping that I will be able to take part in the Oldhammer Realm of Chaos day at the Foundry.  Here is a picture of some of the Beastmen and Chaos Thugs I am hoping to choose from.

I have the next two days off work while the decorators are in so I am hoping to spray undercoat these miniatures in the greenhouse and on day two dettol strip another thirty chaos thugs and roughly the same number of chaos dwarves, I am hoping to get a good miniature foundation to choose from when it comes to seriously rolling a chaos champions warband, all drunken warband rolling efforts have been terrible so far so I thought I would sort out the miniature pool to choose from first. See Oldhammer and Orlygg's blog for more inspiration.

Enjoy
