Then some Rare units:

Helstorm Rocket Battery from Riekland (to go with my other one from Altdorf)

ninerfan · « **Reply #78 on:** December 30, 2009, 01:41:08 AM »

Helblaster Volley Gun from Riekland - you may notice on the gun carrige (and on others) that I replaced one of the levers/cranks with "battlefield repair" parts. Just so they are all just a little different.

ninerfan · « **Reply #79 on:** December 30, 2009, 01:42:24 AM »

and finally another Helblaster Volley Gun this time from Altdorf -

So, that's where I'm up to...

I've got a pile of Militia, knights etc sitting there, but my wife bought me a Chaos Warriors spearhead box back in June for my birthday so think I will start creating some of the opposing force for this Empire army - 10,000pts vs 10,000pts (eventually) - and have a simple basing job to do for the empire minis plus a similar (but slightly more corrupt) version of the basing for the Chaos Warriors.

Till next time...

I'm beyond words... Well done!

Question for you... What was your paint scheme on the Volley Guns? I'm hoping to give mine a bit of a more polished and pretty look to them...

ninerfan · « **Reply #82 on:** January 02, 2010, 12:43:40 AM »

Cheers for the compliment General.

For the volley guns I used Gun Metal for the barrels and Brazen Brass for the rest of the gun mechanisim. For the gun carriage i used scorched Brown for the main wood, graveyard earth for the wheel spokes and Tin Bitz for the metal parts. The entire thing was then coated with Delvan Mud wash.

I think Brazen Brass is actually discontinued now, so not sure if you can find something similar.

Would Burnished Gold mixed with a bit of Chaos Black be an effective substitute?

Very nice polishing on the machines indeed! Is your blue hawk turqouise?

Hmmm - that might work - Or maybe try Burnished gold with a bit of Scorched Brown

cheer Obi. The "Army Blue" is Ice Blue (the delvan mud wash tones it down a little.). The Swordsmen unit uses some Hawk Turqouise (banner, shields & scabbards) as well as the Ice blue:

It is a little deeper than the ice blue.

Obi · « **Reply #86 on:** January 03, 2010, 06:59:31 PM »

Nice, thanks! I've been looking for a nice GW colour to use as light blue-> this one looks better than hawk IMO.

ninerfan · « **Reply #87 on:** January 03, 2010, 07:02:20 PM »

Glad I could be of assistance

peraturabo · « **Reply #88 on:** January 03, 2010, 08:19:57 PM »

Very nice looking unit

And thanks for the advice on the painting!

Hi again - Chaos is upon us (we'll at least me).

Finished building most of the Warrior of Chaos spearhead box (saving the maruders till i have enough for a unit & don't want 2 of the special characters). An will hopefully get around to undercoating them today. Not too much special done to them - a couple of head and arm/weapon swaps here & there plus the 'shattered earth' texture for the basing. Eventually the empire bases will be a pretty basic gravel mix and these chaos will get the same treatment, except for the 'lava' in the cracked earth.

The entire Chaos army is devote to Khorne (gee... I wonder why I would like Khornite paint-jobs?

) so am making use of every 'Khorne style' head and weapon - every unit/character has the mark of Khone (if allowed by rules).

just a couple of pics of this stage - like I said, nothing too special (seeing as my wife bought them for me I thought I had better make use of the metal minis).
Exalted Hero on foot (arm/weapon swap)

Wulfrik the Wanderer

My unit of Chosen (some head swaps from knights & spare from heros/lords)

Gneisenau · « **Reply #93 on:** January 06, 2010, 08:19:36 PM »

Sorry, but your Chaos pics don't show up. I assume it's the Inquisition at work again.

ninerfan · « **Reply #94 on:** January 06, 2010, 08:22:04 PM »

Chaos Lord on Deamonic Mount with enchanted Sheild & Deamonsword (head swap & created weapon)

ninerfan · « **Reply #95 on:** January 06, 2010, 08:23:10 PM »

Chaos lord on Juggernaut of Khorne (just a head swap)

And just the boring old Chaos knights (15) and Hounds (10) - no conversions at all except but an odd extra spike or blade on a shield etc.

Well better get painting - so I can get back to my Empire minis

lol

- I like it.

for some reason the system won't allow me to have more than 3 images per post, so put them up in bunches now.

ninerfan · « **Reply #97 on:** January 14, 2010, 08:37:59 PM »

Well, my Chaos Warhounds are complete (apart from the gravel basing of course).

now to see if I can get 2 units of Chaos Knights (15 total) finished before the end of the month to meet my post in the Painting Challenges 2010 thread

ninerfan · « **Reply #98 on:** January 14, 2010, 08:40:53 PM »

Apologies to those of you who have seen all Empire units already, but seeing as most of the images aren't showing anymore I have taken some new pics (just full units, no detail shots):

Here's Karl Franz

Good work on the mounted Chaos Lord! Looks much more badass this way.
