Nicolas' Chaos Army of Tzeentch

As I wrap up 2025, getting the house in order to receive family to celebrate the New Year, I realize shrimp cocktails and bacon rolled sausages are not the first things to come on my mind. Nope, my mind is racing over final touches to the composition of this year's OWAC challenge. You know, priorities! 

So here they are, my chosen Tzeentch minions for this years challenge!

General - Hero on disk, leader of the Thrall Warband - 125pts

Heroe on disks - 125pts

Lord of Change - 0pts


1 Thrall warband - 200pts

1 unit of chaos warriors of Tzeentch on disks - 815pts

1 pink horror unit - 1260pts

1 blue horror unit - 0pts

1 flamers units - 1260pts

1 Tzeentch chaos spawn - 25pts

1 hydra - 200pts

I am back in the game with a theme I already visited 4 years ago. I had such a blast creating a full unit of 10 Tzeentch Flamers, which still to this day gives me that feeling of pride for building something I have not seen often. 

My main influence for this new part of my Tzeentch cult follows the idea of creating a unit I have never seen before... that yet is possible to play in 3rd edition.  There is that old image of a group Tzeentch warriors on flying disks, which I used to find odd since I grew up with 4th edition, where disks were only meant for heros.

And that is how I convinced myself to build a full 10 warriors of Chaos on flying disks! Every other miniatures in this project are sort of... justifying this main unit.

Selection of miniatures was quite a process, I wanted to get miniatures that matched the disk right away with poses that made sence, plus having fighter types and not straight out sorcerers. These ones made it to the Thrall warband!


Finaly, special mention to the hydra, the Spectral Dragon II from Grenadier, which I plan to paint in the same fiery color scheme than the Flamers. I may even add some green stuff to change the dragon heads into Flamers... time will tell!

  1. Those Warriors on disks will be a terrifying sight on the battlefield when you're done with them.
    Great project, which I suspect will look awesome together with your previous Daemons of Tzeentch army. Really looking forward to seeing your progress!

  2. From the moment I saw your collection of Disc Riders, I knew this would be a special project. Best of luck for OWAC 9—Tzeentch's holy number ;)

  3. I know we're meant to be excited about old Warhammer miniatures, but the sight of that Grenadier Spectral Dragon (it's definitely not Tiamat, of course!) is my favourite thing. I still haven't painted mine! (I have done the far inferior Spectral Dragon I, however).

    To be fair to myself, I am also pleased to see such a great selection of Chaos Warriors, and an actual Ambull too.

    Good luck with the project this year (especially the dragon!)
