Warmaster: Chaos Marauder Infantry Reinforcements!


Finally!

  I made the mistake of splitting my efforts between two units and of course that means the work goes half the speed, not twice the speed...

With these two Chaos Marauder infantry units I finally have a fully painted, legal Chaos army that could go up to just shy of 3000 points!




  When I was prepping this unit I'd bought second hand, I noticed that there were two command strips, and a missing rank-and-file strip.  Not discouraged, I decided to put both command strips together on the command stand.  Let's just say it's a unit with very high morale?  It actually looks fine as these early sculpts were very generous with alternative strips and so - the two variant command strips look pleasingly different to the eye.




  These units were some of the earliest that I had prepared; half glued to stands, other half glued to lolly sticks for ease of painting.  But they had also sat on my desk or windowsill or languished in a box for the longest time.  At least a couple of years, in fact.  It is immensely satisfying to see them painted up and to be moving on to the next thing.

Warmaster: Final Chaos Chariot Unit


Finally! I have finished my third and final Chaos Chariot unit for Warmaster.

I am going to proxy Dragon Ogres as chariots for a 2000 point army so I can have 6 full units of them.  Because I'll be damned if I can be bothered painting/glueing one of these nuisances again! 


The final result is lovely though, if I do say so myself... <3

My migration to new acrylic paints continues.  Several "old" GW paints have bitten the dust, the latest being the old "Dwarf Bronze" I have used with a verdigris effect for all of my Chaos.

Here you can see that paint alongside the GW replacement called "Hashut Copper" and thankfully it appears to be a perfect match.

I don't have a huge amount of Chaos left to paint before I can field a legal 2000 or even 3000 point list but it's nice to know that I'm not having to search high and low for a crucial pot of paint!
