PeterB: Epic Chaos Space Marines + puppies [Coruscant] - (200 points)

Briefly, can I just say as a first time challenger I am really enjoying this. I didn't know what to expect but I am amazed by the vast variety of manufacturers and historical periods/fantasy worlds represented so far this year. Unfortunately as I commented yesterday on GeoffreyT's post, this just means that there are too many things already I want to buy and add to my lead pile (thus ensuring I will want to join the challenge next year to clear the pile again.)

Anyway, so consulting my star chart I believe I have already cleared 4 planets:

Arla - The Balrog

Vulcan - Legolas

Babylon 5 - The Dire Wolf

Quick yacht trip - Female Knight

Istvaan V - Iron Snake Space Marine

Therefore I shall be leaping into the middle ring on to the planet Coruscant with the theme Good vs Evil. Well what can be more evil than the armies of Chaos, in 6mm scale. 

Yep, whoever decided we should wargame in 6mm could be considered good, for we can now easily create massive fields of battle in the comfort of our own homes with just a dining table (possibly extended with the middle leaf folded out) and a green baize tablecloth.

Yet, they could be considered evil, for expecting us to paint details so tiny, it makes me weep, weep the tears of a man who has painted the pauldron trims on Space Marines in 6mm, or freestyled the symbol of Khorne on both sides of the banner flags on the back of  30 Juggernaughts of Khorne.

Juggernaughts of Khorne

Tower of Skulls and Cauldron of Blood

Minotaurs and Khorne Space Marines

Space Marines Dreadnoughts

Chaos Space marines, including a sorcerer at the front

I have also been working on a project that I should have actually been painting instead of swanning around the planets painting random things from my lead pile. I am actually currently working on a fantasy halfling army for Dragon Rampant and fell in love with these guys at Salute this year:

I am not claiming these for any particular planet. Just their points. They are pretty tall for halflings if I am honest, so I am hoping Millsy will allow me to claim 10 points a pop for them.

For the points then:

30 x Juggernaughts of Khorne in 6mm scale. 30 points

2 x vehicles in 6mm scale. 4 points

12 x minotaurs in 6mm scale. 6 points

20 x Khorne Space Marines in 6mm scale. 10 points

4 x Dreadnoughts in 6mm scale. 4 points

80 x Chaos Space Marines in 6mm scale. 40 points.

10 x Halfling dog riders in 28mm scale. 100 points.

Grand total = 194 points.

From Millsy:

Some great Epic scale Chaos stuff here Peter! I'm both horrified and seriously impressed that you hand painted (!) all those Khorne symbols at 6mm scale. Crazy stuff mate. I honestly can't decide which unit I like best from the Chaos stuff, it's all just wonderful.

I've been unimpressed with the Mantic hobbits to date but I really like these. Which is bad news. First time challenger and you're already suffering from Challenge Temptation Syndrome (CTS) and giving me a good dose too.

A cracking entry mate. I'm rounding it up to 200 points because of all that Khorne symbol craziness. Belter!
