Tzeentch old Warhammer/Battlemasters Chaos Knight (Carl)

Another completion towards my Age of Sigmar Chaps Knights unit, this time a Tzeentch themed Knight.

It’s another old GW/Battlemasters model, I wasn’t entirely sure where I was going with the colour scheme so it’s a bit darker than I wanted but it’s finished.

That makes 27 completions in 2024 and only one Knight left to go to complete the unit.

Old Warhammer/Battlemasters Chaos Knight (Carl)

 



Hot on the heels of the sweetly scented allure of the old Realms of Chaos Slaaneshi Chaos Knight follows the no less pungent Nurgle Knight.

This time the model is one of the old Games Workshop & MB Games collaboration Battermasters models. This one was quite quick to do, I do think Nurgle themed models allow for a looser approach to applying colours.

Total completions: 26 for the year!

Warhammer Realms of Chaos Knight (Carl)

More progress on the Slaves to Darkness army for Age of Sigmar, this time an old Warhammer Realms of Chaos knight.

I’ve painted this one to be the Slaanesh representive for the unit. The intention is to have all four chaos powers represented and an Undivided knight leading them. I’ve already got a Khornate knight painted from when I started the project a while back.

This completion means I’m now onto 25 completions in 2024.

Warcry Fomoroid Crusher (Carl)

Another finish for the year! This time the Fomoroid Crusher for Warcry (and Age of Sigmar). I absolutely love this model, so much that I’m actually considering getting another one to build and paint the other variant.

I had a bit of a wobble on the colour scheme halfway through. I had to do a bit of an overpaint on the bandages/wraps around his arms but otherwise it was pretty straight forward.

This completion puts me at 24 for 2024. I’ve got a good pace going on at the moment despite a few periods of inactivity.

Completed Tarantulos Warcry Warband (Carl)

It’s a month since completing my first model (partly delayed due to having surgery) but I’ve finally completed my Tarantulos warband for Warcry.

The models are also part of my Age of Sigmar Slaves to Darkness army. Completing them also puts my AoS 1000 point force over halfway to completion as, combined with my Chaos Warriors unit, there’s now two thirds of the total models painted.

They’re based as with most of my GW models to represent a desert/wasteland theme. Quite happy with them now I’ve battled through the fiddly details.

This also puts my total completed models in 2024 at 23! Woohoo!

Warcry Tarantulos Brood (Carl)


 After quite a long gap I’ve managed another finish for 2024. This is the first of the Tarantulos Brood for Warcry, the models are also part of my Slaves to Darkness Age of Sigmar army so two games for one model.

I’ve had them sitting primed with skin tones done in Carroburg Crimson for months. But that skin tone had kept them from being finished. I wasn’t keen. But I finally gave myself a good talking too and just went with it.

These models are very fiddly, I think they’re going to take quite a while to complete. But at least I’ve got my first one done to get a feel for the colour combinations.

Looking at it now, I don’t entirely fall out with it.

Old Warhammer Chaos Warriors (Carl)

We’re into February already! Blimey the year is already whistling by.

I’ve managed to complete the remaining 7 Chaos Warriors for my 10 man unit for my Age of Sigmar Slaves to Darkness 1000pt force. They were a bit of a slog as I got a bit lost halfway through with ideas of doing clearly defined followers of Khorne, Tzeentch, Nurgle and Slaanesh.

My original plan was to do two each of the four powers and plus two undivided to make a truly balanced (undivided) unit. But I got a bit distracted. The final unit (which I’ll do a full shot of when the whole army is finished) has four clearly defined followers, four hinted at and two undivided. It still works just differently to my original intention.

Anyway, here’s the seven completions that along with the three previously finished mean I’ve got one completed unit for my Ages of Sigmar force! Hooray!


This also makes 10 actual completions in 2024!
