My Chaos Army for Shiloh

Today I got both of the sorcerers painted meaning all characters are now finished. I also started on the last three Marauder Horsemen. I'll finish those tomorrow, then get to work on my remaining ogres.

Tzeentsch Sorcerer (goes with my Marauders)



Nurgle Sorcerer on mount (goes with my Marauder Horsemen)



More to do, and plenty of light left to get it done. But, the Shiloh force is coming along.

Marauder Horsemen unit and mounted Nurgle Sorcerer finished.





The day is young, so I'll see how much more I can get done before the sun goes down.

Your time management is to be lauded and envied! The troops are looking great, sir.

Today was a little weird, so I didn't get everything I wanted to accomplish, done. However, I did manage to get the remaining pieces for Shiloh based.



It took a while, but I'm happy. Tomorrow morning I'll prime them all and I'll be in the home stretch.



With that out of the way, I decided to start working on the movement trays, the marauders are 5 wide and 6 deep, and devoted to Tzeentch so I decided to give the tray a few special touches. Next week I'll be giving the rest of the bases similar treatment.

Models I'll Be Working On:
Forsaken (converting old school warriors along with Spawn bits).
2 Units of 18, Warriors with Halberds.
2 Units of 3 each, Ogres of Khorne (converted from Beastman Minotaurs).
2 Units of 5, Marauder Horsemen with Flails and Throwing Spears.
2 Units of 50 Marauders of Khorne with Great Weapons.
Daemon Prince
Sorceror Lord of Tzeentch on Disk.

(I've got a ton more now, but not sure what all is going to happen to it all.)


In other news, I've been watching eBay for deals. Particularly over the recent holiday, and I've managed some really good deals. I've got a Sterilite container now filled with models I'll be working on for a while. My next big project though will be to get started on my wifes Daemon army, I picked up the models below for $45.



The wife was pleased with the deal, and so am I

Yesterday I got everything but the Warshrine primed and ready for painting, I had a few last minute conversions I wanted to do (my marauder champion for example). Then I got distracted...

London Calling...
I received a package from Brittain containing a army lot I won on eBay.



Since it was largely loose pieces and semi assembled models I wanted to get it all sorted, recently I found a PLANO tackle bag for sale (4 plastic divided containers inside a green and blue canvas bag) for $25. The thing has some nice sized pockets on the sides and the containers are big, so I figured it'd be a great place to hold bits and some modeling supplies. It proved invaluable here when I got things organized.

Contents of the Lot:
Chaos Sorcerer Lord of Tzeentch (also has bits for 2 more Sorcerers).
18 Chaos Marauders.
17 Chaos Warriors.
12 OOP Chaos Warriors (being made into Forsaken)
10 Warhounds (brings me up to 30 unassembled).
5 Chaos Knights (gives me a total of 15 unassembled).
4 Beastman Minotaurs (converting them into Ogres).

A ton of bits from Chaos Spawn, etc.



So, as I write this it's just past 9. And I've already been working for the past hour getting my final conversion done for Shiloh, my Warshrine of Tzeentch.



I noticed I forgot my drivers/handlers, so why not add a couple of Pink Horrors?



Likewise, the Gorthor the Beastlord model I picked up was missing the crossmember that connects the mounts to the chariot, so I grabbed some bits and some green stuff and found what I consider a suitable stand in.

Letting the green stuff set today, and hopefully I'll have it primed this afternoon.

Meanwhile, with everything else primed it's time to get to work painting...

The green stuff is still "questionable" so tomorrow I'll get the Warshrine primed, meanwhile I've been painting.







I got all of the Warhounds ready, leaving me with 15 Warriors, 29 Marauders, and 4 Ogres left to paint for Shiloh. I'm going to get a break for dinner and some Skyrim with the wife then knock out the remaining Warriors, I get those finished and I'll call it a day.

Warriors are finished: just the Marauders, Ogres, and Warshrine left. Time for bed.

NICE! Keep up the hard work.

Ogres finished, I've enlisted the help of a hair dryer to make sure I get the army ready for the weekend.

Individual Pics of the Ogres:
Ogre, Ogre Musician, Ogre Mutant, Ogre Standard Bearer, Ogre

Next up, the Warshrine, then the Marauders...

Warshrine is finished, just the Marauders left for Shiloh.

Today I'm detailing the first two ranks of Marauders, I worked out my colors on the first one and here's the result:




Hope you guys like em, there's 28 more where that one came from lol. Time to grunt my way through these before the weekend.

First rank is finished, just 25 more Marauders to go!

I really like the sorcerer. It just works. He is tall and creepy and I love it.

I painted 25 Marauders today, I'll hit them with a few touch ups in the morning (need some blood and black in a few places). But they're pretty much done, now I'm stuck either trying to get a game in nearby before Shiloh Saturday, or just going in cold (I haven't played WH since 5th edition, so I know I'm going to be slow on the draw).

Anyhow, if anyone would be up for a game at Gamer Utopia or War Pig tomorrow let me know. And now, I'm going to get some Skyrim in while my back straightens out (I've been hunched over my work table for the past 12 hours).

The army looks fantastic! I can't wait to see it Saturday, but I would try to get a game in tomorrow at all costs. So much has changed since 5th edition that the first game maybe a little bit of a shock. Things disappear very quickly this edition, and it takes a few games to get used to that. If you could make it to TSE in Springdale tomorrow me or someone else should be up there to play/give you the crash course in the game.

I'm likely going to be up there tomorrow sometime, gas/money is tight till Tuesday so I was hoping to avoid an extra trip but I feel like I really need to get a game or two in before Saturday.

So, in short - see you tomorrow.
