Tadam !!! Summer is coming ! And with it, the end of the OWAC ! To finish with style and beauty, I needed something really cool. I wanted to make a Chaos Altar / Baggage train.
Center pieces, especially in chaos armies, have always been huge opportunities for kitbashing and painting.
I wanted something big, that I could use in gaming in different ways. I started with a 3Dprinted version of the skaven doom bell, I asked to make it smaller than actual version. I added and old RAFM beast from Cthulhu range, two oldhammer bone champions, et voilà !!

| Rejoice in death for Father Nurgle !!!! |
If I can't play it as a Chaos Altar, I will play it as an hero on chariot pulled by a beast of Nurgle !
Speaking of chariot, I wanted to have a sorcerer lord on chariot. I mixed the horses from the actual range (it is a permanent spell from the ghost army in AoS) with the plague cart. I add the throne of Sauron, a sorcerer and the driver from the RoC chaos chariot.
I love the throne of Sauron. I think I used it maybe 3 times in different conversions. This miniature fits perfectly for Slaanesh, (I see a throne made of living fleeeeeeesh), but not too bad for Nurgle too.
And then... no chaos army is complete without a Chaos Lord on Chaos Steed. So I made one with some bitzs I had.
The horse is from Confrontation, the character is an alternative champion of the Palanquin. I also decided to build a Chaos Spawn from nothing, "just like in the old time" ;)
Finally Graeme send me a beast of Nurgle, so I added a plague bearer on it and now I have a unit of 5 plague riders !!! Thank you !!
Family picture !!!!! Say Beuuuuuuurg :D
Next month... The entire army !
Wow, there's a lot of excellent conversion work here and so much to love here that I don't know where to start! You have made and excellent run this year and this has been a very interesting project to follow.
ReplyDeleteThank you !! My favorite is the chariot, I am happy to have finished this army, 6 months, perfect size for perfect timing :)
DeleteGreat chariots, I love that re-use of Sauron's throne and the Cthonian looks fantastic as a draught horse. Clever ideas :)
ReplyDeleteAhhhh thank you, I am glad you noticed it !
DeleteVery Cool
ReplyDeleteThanks !!!
DeleteTruly chaotic and with fantastic old school vibes thanks to the conversion work. Some really clever selection of champions/poses for the War Altar, the touch of humour with the laughing corpse is great, and I love the use of Sauron's throne on the chariot. The chaos spawn is just fantastic. Top work all round :)
ReplyDeleteThank you ! I love the laughing corpse too. It is so "nurgle" I think :)
DeleteFantastic conversions throughout! I particularly love the use of Sauron's Throne. You're right, it's such an iconic, versatile bit. Using the Endless Spell horses is also an inspired move. Love all of these models!
ReplyDeleteThank you James !! Something very old and something very new, I thought it will do a good mix ;)
DeleteThat gloss black works a flipping treat! Lovely conversions, and can't wait to see the whole army!
ReplyDeleteAhaha thank you so much, I am very glad you love this gloss black !
