So, I painted an army! I'm honestly a little surprised that I got it all done. And I did the things I intended to do with it. The colours are bright, and I got to try out some new ideas and techniques, from the rainbow chaos symbols to colour-changing paint. I like to think that I've captured something of the mid-90's I remember, and it's been great to paint some minis that I've owned since those days, as well as a few more recent purchases and a whole lot of stripped and rebuilt second-hand stuff. It's recycling!
The final list is as follows:
Chaos Lord 91pts
Chaos Champion 58pts
Army Icon Bearer 55pts
Chaos Sorcerer 52pts
Aspiring Champion 30pts
9 Chaos Terminators 459pts
Aspiring Champion 30pts
9 Chaos Space Marines 225pts
Aspiring Champion 30pts
9 Plague Marines 315pts
10 Plaguebearers 350pts
Great Unclean One 275pts
Chaos Dreadnought 135pts
Total 2105pts
That's a lot of points for a compact force, and although I very rarely play any flavour of 40k, I think its reasonably balanced and playable, if perhaps a little slow-moving. Chances are I'll never play it, but I've finally got the glass cabinet that I've wanted for years, and I love the way it looks in there. Took a quick photo of a few of my favourites marching into town, and of course, the classic cheesy picture!
