Greetings Terrans, back to my OldHammer Realm of Chaos warband this week & time to add some more overtly chaotic elements, and to me, nothing says Chaos more than Beastmen!!
All these are from Foundry – 4 ‘adult’ Beastmen, and 4 youngling ‘Beastlings’:
The sculpts for the bigger models are kinda goofy, but the Beastling minis are really nicely done – I wish I’d got more of them tbh! Still, they all came out well, with a mixture of pale skin, orange fur and blue warpaint to tie them in with the rest of the warband. Here they are with their champion Scynir:
Greetings Terrans, just a quick post today – I’ve been chipping away at members for Scynir’s warband since last post, starting with her human followers – three axmen and three swordsmen:
Not too much to say about these really – they are all Foundry vikings, so they fit well with the Norsca setting of the November event. I painted them up with orange cloth & yellow hair, and I added blue face paint to better tie them in with Scynir herself. The shields were fun – I used a bit of a pointillist approach to suggest a Tzeentch symbol… Kinda chaos with a small ‘c’. I’m quite happy with how they turned out!
Greetings Terrans, last week I mentioned a project to create a 600 point WFB 3rd ed warband for an OldHammer event in November – a Norsca adventure as rival warbands compete to push their claim for the recently vacated crown of the Kingdom of Arsenduvnaewar. I decided to use this as an opportunity to do something that I have been planning for a while – paint up a lead version of my Tzeench Realm of Chaos warband, with Scynir at the head. The reason for me doing this is that even though I really like the warband as is, I’m much more likely to play an OldHammer game these days, and doing so with modern plastics just doesn’t sit right with me. Stylistically, the warband is going to look and feel very different – lacking the technical excellence of modern GW minis, but hopefully full of 80’s/90’s RoC charm. Most of the minis will be from Foundry, but with a bit of GW and others sprinkled in there for good measure.
So, every good warband should start with the leader, and in this case, I already had my leader defined – a Human champion with the Gift of Magic and Overgrown Hands. I also had the colour scheme worked out, thanks to my original version of Scynir, so really it was just a case of sourcing bits & making it happen! I used an old lead elf mage for the body, while the arms were donated from a Horror – pretty much how I approached the plastic version! The long hair of the elf hides any telltale elven ears, while the body is androgynous enough to work as a female human… I also added a small Familiar to balance out the base a bit, and this is what I ended up with:
Painting was pretty straight forward. I went with pink/yellow for the mutated hands rather than the blue/green of the original, but otherwise I used broadly the same orange/blue scheme as the original, (the blue came out a bit darker, but it’s close enough). Here they are together:
So that’s it for now folks, more to come as I start adding followers.
