First two ranks of Tzeentch warriors finally done

Second batch of Tzeentch warriors

These take bloody ages to paint! But I think the results are worth the effort :) I will post pics of the two completed ranks as soon as I can.

Next up is the remaining individual warriors then the unit filler. Then I can start painting the other models I finished sculpting.
Once they are all done (I'm guessing that will be some time) I can begin converting Nurgle warriors from Black Orcs.

A few updates

This last week has seen me bouncing around from project to project. But I did manage to get some stuff moving along.
The first 5 Tzeentch warriors are done, the rest are on my work station awaiting attention.

Added the rivets and 'fuel' to the Hell Cannon plus treads on the wheels, which will also need rivets.

Finally my Nurgle Lord got himself a pet (not finished)

Tzeentch warrior test model

I thought I would treat myself to some painting after the sculpting marathon of the last few weeks. I have done a test model for the Tzeentch warriors.
Although he isn't really a test as such. Because each warrior will be painted in a different scheme, I'm not a fan of the unified look that most chaos armies have these days.
I much prefer the earlier days when chaos warriors looked different to each other and just more chaotic ;)
Although I'm willing to have each one in colours linked to his patron god, I can't picture a quartermaster handing out uniforms before a campaign.

Tzeentch Sorcerer on disc (finished)

Finally got him finished last night. Not sure how long it took from start to finish as I work on several models at once. I find working in that way stops me ruining what I have sculpted until it's fully hardened.
The disc is fully scratch built, the armature was a piece of plasticard cut to shape with 30mm laser cut 1.5mm thick wooden discs glued to either side. It is also magnetised to the stand for easier storage.

Warriors of Chaos conversions and scratch built bits.

I am going for as many conversions as I can imagine in my Chaos army. Although this will prolong the length of the project I think the reward will be worth it.
So this is a Tzeentch bsb, the sword is intended to represent a daemon sword that's in control as much as the champion wielding it is. His head is getting turned in to a hawk/eagle mutation.

The next is a pretty straight forward addition to the excellent plastic Tzeentch sorcerer, I wanted to create some movement on the model as he will be mounted on a the scratch built disc (the middle object in the pic below). The flames seemed like the most obvious solution after trying to model a piece of cloth and failing miserably :(
He is in the aerly stages so it will need much more work before I'm happy with him.

The three pieces above are the Tzeentch warrior units standard, the disc and the Tzeentch bsb.

The finished unit looks like this, shields are off for painting ease, the Chaos stars are so bloody boring! which is why i filled them off. The shields will instead have homemade decals added to them.

Also the imminent release of Forge Worlds Tamurkhan The Throne Of Chaos has got me thinking about possible conversions on the Dwarfs I have lying around, more on that in the future.

Tzeentch unit filler

Got this finished last night. The aim will be to paint the fire so the light can be seen on the warriors ranked up around it. I could be making a big mistake, but time will solve that mystery I guess ;)
I also started work on a sculpted banner for the same unit and a scratch built disc for my Tzeentch sorcerer lord. Pics of them should be up at the weekend.
