Anyway, these six Chaos Warriors will give me a brand new Chaos Warrior squad when they are combined with the command group from last week. Five of these are old, two-dimensional Chaos Warriors from Warhammer and one is old, two-dimensional Chaos Warrior from HeroQuest.
Nothing special here, just more rank and file troops.

| In the closeup you can see, that the red metallic paint is not attaching very well to the miniatures. For some reason it just seems to float away. And only with these miniatures. Paint some areas three times and still got white showing... In the closeup you can also see, that the painting is not very tidy, something I just couldn't push myself, when it was next to impossible to get the paint even on somewhere... |
These all are plastic Lord of the Ring warriors from the first starter kit. I have lots of these, probably too much. But I decided to paint three cloaks in blue, so I can say they are captains. They ended up quite dark and in poor light look almost like black...
Nothing special in the paint job here, either.

Well, thats 12 25/28 sized miniatures and 60 whopping points! More Slaves to Darkness next week, even though I need to travel with family during the weekend.
ByronM: Another solid entry this week Teemu! Nice to see the old school chaos warriors still coming out of the woodwork, or is that the warp... The old school paint job still works on them, and glad to hear "someone" is enjoying the disaster that is AoS, more power to you! The blue on the cloaks for the LotR figs is very nice in the high contrast, and I really like the dragon ogres, I just find they look really odd on oval bases, but I know that's where the game has gone :-(
Nice work Teemu - shame about the red metallic painting not sticking where it's meant to
ReplyDeleteNice old school chaos and the lotr types have come up well too.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
It is easier to like AoS if you don't think it as a replacement or a killer of Warhammer FB, which it is not. Sad that the release was badly made and that they destroyed Old World, thou.
ReplyDeleteVery nice old Skool stuff Teemu.
ReplyDeleteWeird about the metallic paint flaking. Maybe you have some bad paint? That would be very aggravating.
ReplyDeleteI really like seeing these old Dragon Ogres. Great job.
It is not bad paint, the black paint was flaking as well. I primed some other (brand new) miniatures with same paint at the same time and they have no flaking problems with same paints. Very strange.
DeleteFine work Teemu!
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see the old GW plastic get some love! I like the Gondorians too, but I really appreciate the dragon ogres! I haven't seen them in a Looooong time!
As for AoS, the kids and I will stick to OldHammer. The best thing about old rulebooks is they are always there and ready to game! ;)
Thanks David! I really liked the Dragon Ogres as well, I didn't want to rush them and thus couldn't finish them before the Challenge.
DeleteOh yeah, and I'm still ready to play some 5th Oldhammer as well, it's just easier to find an opponent for AoS at the moment.
I like the oval bases! Good work.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done, it is always a pleasure to look at figures from the LOTR range. My son dabbling with these figures started me off in this hobby 15 years ago!
ReplyDeleteThanks John! I try to push some more LOTR in to this challenge, let's see...
