Nurgle Warband Update: The Cavalry has arrived...

...well at least a small part of it.

This one is based on what I think is a Feudal Cavalry. I replaced the spear with a scythe, swapped the head and a bit of green stuff (or actually Pro-Create, which is seriously good stuff).

For this unit I plan to use a variety of models such as Bretonnian, Temple dogs and Melnibonean Cavalry. I considered using the BIG citadel horses as well but the smaller other horses would look silly so will save them for something else.

  2. WOw, you've just proven that sometimes a conversion just doesn't need much. The weapon swap and this disturing head immediately make this knight chaotic as well (even more I would say)
    The "art deco" shield back is really helpuing this way too.
    That's some very effective work here.

    1. Thanks Asslessman. I think it is pretty cool to keep chaos conversion quite human in appearance getting a look as they are new followers of the dark gods. /Hans

  3. Very nice conversion. The back of your shield has more detail than most of my fronts.

    1. Thanks Sean! I really enjoy painting shields at the moment so I can't stop myself. If it wouldn't look silly every mini would have at least 2 shields... /Hans

    2. Well this is clearly a challenge up to your level. Two shields is obviously ridiculous, 3 or more on another hand could be perfect, I remember a chaos cultist used for mordheim and converted by Aly Morrison whith a complete armour made of shields, that can be done and you must do it.

    3. I remember that conversion it was awesome! From memory that was the same issue that had the scernario with the Wooden Man?

    4. LOL - That sound like a fun project. Do you have any pic of it or know where it was published? Searched for it but didn't found anything except this warband also by Aly: http://www.sodemons.com/rhmordheim/handoffate/index.htm

    5. That's the thing, the mini we're talking about is the third from left on the bottom row (first picture). The article explains how he wanted to achive a wooden armour and used severall shield pieces.

    1. Thanks! I don't remember exactly but something like this:
      1) Base of mix of black and bronze (this is a always a good start I think)
      2) Washed with Orange and then Black wash
      3) Did various shading/highlights with different mixes of black, bronze and green
      4) Wasn't pleased with the result so did a few black glazes
      5) Realized I spent too much time and stopped :)

  5. Fantastic work and the shield, as always, sets it apart as something really special.

    Can't remember whether I've raved about your basing before - but it also is superb!
