Joe's Compact Chaos Company - March- Chaos Sorceror (272 points)

I gave myself an easy month in the circumstances- just one figure for me this month,  but still the required points value.


1 Chaos Sorceror: Grumbulligan of Clothpile, level 20 Soulflayer, Mounted on Chaos Steed- 272 points.

 The base model is an old Citadel wizard. I'm afraid I don't know which one. I think he used to hold a staff with a hand on the end (?), but he's long been drifting around my bits box without a head on his stick. I replaced his staff with a wire spear, and top it with the plastic ball from a large map pin, which  I lightly 'cooked' over the hob for a second or two to give it texture, so I could paint it as a planet.

 The Chaos Steed is a Pendragon 'Axe Beak', a sculpt from the distant past, but available today from Wargames Design Workshop. I added the tail with Milliput.

    It's the old Citadel Saruman model from their LotR range. :)

      so it is! I was worried I was maligning a good wizard by pressing him into the service of Chaos, but seems he was a wrong'un all along!

    OMG, the smallest entry this month but one of my favorite. So old-school chaos. I love it! In a single figure you've managed most of what encompasses my thoughts on "oldhammer".

      thank very much! I'm very much enjoying trying to distill my own feeling about Oldhammer in this project- as much as ability allows anyway!

    Brilliant! I agree with all the comments above. So unique. Worth every one of those 272 painting points.
