From Paul O'G: Wasteland Raiders (60 points)

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

  8. Completing 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!"

    I 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.

    1. You raise a most excellent point. Perhaps I meant "completed the Army as currently planned" :-)

  10. Awesome work Paul, the whole army looks fantastic! A completed army means only one thing, more room on the lead pile for new figures!
