Byron's "The Sticker Album of Zargon" - Rank and File Month (496.5 points)

 I failed to meet my goal for this month. I had planned to do all the miniatures for Quest 10. Work and childcare (and preparing for an event at a warhammer convention coming up in May) were the main culprits gobbling up my time. So I have settled for only painting 19 mini this month. 

So, for this month, I'd like to share some of the inspiration for my project - the official Heroquest Sticker Album.

You can check out the Sticker Album here at Ye Olde Inn. I spent weeks trying to cook up a good color scheme for the army. The other contender was Purple with bright neon yellow or Purple with Orange. I wanted colors that say Chaos, but not a particular chaos god. Zargon has too much ego, I think, to worship something other than himself. 

During this process I stumbled across the sticker album. And the colors really popped in a way that the game box didn't. 

That being said, I'd like to share pics of my minis to show how they compare to the sticker album.

 

Here we can see a chaos warriors in maroon and a sorta gold or beige edge. On the right are my chaos warriors in marron and khaki. 

 

Orcs and Goblins in maroon.

 

Typically skeletons tend to be lighter or white, but I saw the brown and green skeletons and figured I should branch out a bit and decided to try a drab color. 

I didn't paint any fimir this month, but I wanted so show the maroon harnesses worn by the fimir in the sticker album.

Moving right along, here are pics other other minis I painted this month...

I was missing this gargoyle's head and wings.
So I had to....improvise

In total this is 19 models:

Chaos Warriors x 5 = 130 pts

Mummies x5 = 225 pts

Skeletons x 6 = 60 pts

Orc = 8.5 pts

Goblin = 3 pts

Total 496.5 pts

On an additional note, I finished my work on the Zargon Armylist. Check it out.

Finally, pics of the whole army together

In theory, next month will be the general month....
