C27 Goblin Mutants and some WIP

YO!

Was getting quite serious with the finishing of the Chaos Dwarf unit so felt like doing something a bit quicker. Turned my attention to my beloved C27 Mutant/Chaos Goblins. Very simple and great minis.

Got temporary fed up with my bases (after painting the movement tray for the Dwarf) so went to green. Might do these is the old style and let them into the army - we'll see.

Was out of prepped minis to paint so been doing this lately. I think my focus will go to the Thugs for a while - feel very inspired to paint a few of them. There is about 4 or 5 to finished this one (total of 14). So here is the latest WIP.

Back row:

• Chaos Thug who till be the standard bearer for that unit
• Another Thug who will be the leader
• Chaos Warrior/Lord who will be the leader of the Chaos Warrior unit

Front row:

• An Asgard mini (CC5 Crabclaw) from the Chaos Creature series - to join the beast unit.
• A sorcerer. Will add a Familiar to the base as well.
• Mantis Man! This guy is seriously cool. Looks more like a pimp than a fighter.

Nurgle Warband Update: Thugs

Elwood (or was it Helwud?) is now the leader of the Thugs. His brother, a standard bearer and a few other Thugs will join the unit as well. Decided for now at least to group the Marauders and Thugs into one unit.

The unit so far:

Nurgle Warband: The Thugs (so far) 

Nurgle Warband: The Thugs (so far) 

Nurgle Warband: The Thugs (so far) - shields

And almighty Helwud - leader of the pack:

Tried a new thing and did outlining in a lighter color than the base using very diluted Citadel Kabalite Green. Looks quite cool IMO. Really like this green color - a bit of ethereal / eerie feeling to it.

• Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
• Jake: Hit it.

Hope you enjoyed it! / Don Hans

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: Thug in bone armor

This is a great sculpt. The bone armor is perfectly sculpted making it a pleasure to paint. Quite happy with the paint job as well.

I went for a uniform look all over the mini where the shield is the only contrast.

For the shield I continued with black & white but have left the graphical / straight lines design on this one (also on the Marauder in the previous post) and gone for a design inspired by Ian Miller. Not sure if it looks Ian Miller but that is the inspiration.

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: Another Thug

Finished another Thug - Mr Goatfoot.  For me a very classic mini after looking many many times at Ivan Bartleet's version of it in 1990 Fantasy Miniatures.

I'm really happy with the shied. Probably the best one I have ever done in my opinion. The design is not my own though. I was considering a few different options when I by accident came across this design in Warhammer armies (page 91) and realized it was perfect for this round concave Marauder shield.

Hope you like it.

At last a new group shot of the warband. It's done with my phone so unfortunately not the best quality.

Nurgle Warband Update: Thugs and Dwarfs

A very productive weekend is about to finish and my vacation will start on Monday. Pefection in my opinion!

I managed to finish 4 new combatants for my Nurgle warband and will probably finish a Chaos Marauder later tonight. Here are the four fellows:

Nurgle warband: Latest additions 

First out is a Chaos Thug. Not sure if GW ever named this one. Does anyone known? A good sculpt I think with a good face that I spent a little more time on.

Next out is another Chaos Thug that I think is know to most as Skull-Face. A beautiful stupid look. Love how is scratches his head.

At last the Chaos Dwarfs Ninja and Khardang Bloodsucker.The Ninja is a great mini and I have a thing for oriental minis at the moment so this was a natural pick for the warband. Khardang is perfect for a Nurgle warband.
