Presenting the last unit of my Riders of Doom themed army for Dragon Rampant. This is a 12 figure light foot unit using plastic GW Chaos Marauders. These are quite nice figures once you cull all the silly over the top components. I experimented with some speed painting techniques, keeping the purple colour theme from the other units of the army. They aren't perfect but I'm pretty happy with the overall result, finishing them just in time to have a submission this week.
I'm also chuffed to have started and completed a full force from scratch during this challenge, albeit with small unit sizes compared to most massed Fantasy battle games. My force now includes Elite Riders, Elite and Heavy Foot units, a Champion and 2 Light Foot units. I'll have to take a picture of the force all together soon.
Overall thats 12 x 28mm figs for a total of 60 points.
Well, that's 12 chappies that you wouldn't want to meet down some dark alley! I can't see any fur but I do see horns - I hope that they are either artificial or from animals that died naturally, otherwise PETA will be after you!
Another 60 points for you Paul
Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

A lovely bit of work there, Paul - I think an army group shot is in order!
ReplyDeleteNice unit Paul!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Paul!
ReplyDeleteThese guys are just too weedy, they need to work out more... ;P
Not a bunch I'd like to bump into in a dark alley. Or indeed a floodlit alley. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on completing a project in one go mate. That's what the Challenge is all about!
ReplyDeleteDon't look speed painted so congrats on a great looking unit

Nice one mate, congrats on completing an army, it's a great feeling ! :-)
ReplyDeleteCompleting an army..... I never have in my whole entire life. because sooner or later you will want to add something maybe the company will make a new figure or figures that you feel you just "Need!"
ReplyDeleteI will settle on completed for now... They look good and I know the fingers will itch to do some more. And I hope they will look as good.
You raise a most excellent point. Perhaps I meant "completed the Army as currently planned" :-)
DeleteGreat work!
ReplyDeleteNice work! Looking forwards to the group shot.
ReplyDeleteAwesome work Paul, the whole army looks fantastic! A completed army means only one thing, more room on the lead pile for new figures!
ReplyDeleteVery nice work Paul. These guys look like they will bring the pain.
ReplyDeleteGrand work on them, Paul, and congrats on "finishing" a force too! ;)
ReplyDeleteI like these guys. I think my Wild Men of Dunland could take 'em no probe, but I like 'em.
ReplyDeleteGreat colourscheme and very versatile unit!
ReplyDeleteThanks indeed everyone!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Paul.
