Nurgle Warband Update: Two more

Okely dokely. Two more chaos worshipers finished. A Marauder and a Thug. I don't think any of them very given names by Citadel.

The Thug has more of a  Slaanesh feel than Nurgle to it but. It's a great sculpt though so couldn't resist painting it. Talking about Slaanesh, I guess the Marauder got a quite Slaanesh paint job. He is very pretty in pink though :)

Quite happy with the shield. I managed to paint it without any corrections so the paint job become very smooth.

I added some new bitz to the base on the Thug. Included some zombie parts - head and hand.

I'm still calling it a warband even though I'm going for an army now. The project feel a lot less overwhelming that way...

By the way, I updated the photos of my Slaanesh Champion as the previous were quite bad: http://realmofcitadel.blogspot.se/2013/05/slaanesh-warband-champion.html

Nurgle Warband Update: Warrior and a thought...

Next one is a Chaos Warrior - also this one with a oriental twist. A bit of Mongol I think. I guess his name Chengis Crump points in the same direction.

Progress has been a bit slow lately - the weather has been absolutely great so sitting indoors has not really bin an option. A few things is lined up though:

Warband Work in Progress: Two Warriros, one Thug,
Helwud (as Thug leader) and a Marauder

A thought: 

I am about to paint Helwud and did some browsing on the internet to find some information about him and his brother. I came across a great article on RoC80s (link) about Malal and learned that the colors of Malal is black and white. Hmmm - most interesting...

Am I possessed by Malal? Was my idea with painting black and white shields forced upon me by the most evil of the dark gods?

An idea am considering is going Malal with the warband/army. As I haven't really painted the minis in a very Nurglish way I think the only obstacle is me making up my mind. I have to think about this...we'll see

Am I possesed by Malal?

Nurgle Warband Update: Two Marauders and a Bazooka

Next addition to my warband are two marauders and a chaos dwarf bazooka.

I tried a new approach to the armor of the marauders and going gold-green. Think it looks good on the marauder in full armor (Kraan Headcleaver). Not sure about the color combination on the one with bare legs though (Lunkop Banesmite). But hey - it's chaos and anything goes.

Kraan Headcleaver is the metal-man from the previous post/tutorial - now with a few tufts and a shield as well. A funny thing painting him was that the first color out after base coat was painting it all gold. He very much looked like a fantasy C3PO. I almost kept it like that.

The warband is getting quite big now and as Gaj suggested in a previous post I might be working my way toward an army (even if I don't know it - LOL). I think he on to something and I am considering going army style. I am thinking though to paint a unit of Oriental heros / Samurais / Ninjas as well.....we'll see.

Thanks for watching! /Hans

Nurgle Warband Update: First Marauder

Next up is the first Marauder for the warband. This one has Marauder written on the tab but was cataloged as a Thug (thank you again collecting-citadel-miniatures for good and interesting info). With the full armor it looks to me more like a Marauder (or a Warriror) than a Thug.

Right now I'm working on a Thug, Bazooka and my Standard bearer. Hope to have them finished in a few days.

Until then - thanks for visiting!
