From SylvainR - 28mm Band of Chaos Warriors for D&D (50 points)

 

 

Another band of baddies for D&D. I kept a very simple palette of colors: metal/flesh + red. First, here  are 4 unarmored warriors. My first attempt at painting flesh in this lot was the guy on the right, but I found the result two flashy, so I toned down the color for the next 3 warriors.

 Next, we have 4 armored warriors, as shiny as can be. Note that the guy on the far right has a "full skull" armor.

Finally, here is the boss, on a larger base, with his lieutenant. I tried to emphasize their higher status by adding some bronze trims on their armor. I did not put any grass on any of the bases, to show that these chaos warriors bring nothing but desolation, ashes and tears. I find that the gray base also helps to bring out the other colors, metal and red, and helps tie the band together.

I really enjoyed painting these "heavy metal" models. In fact, I find that painting colorful fantasy figurines is an excellent counterweight to painting hundreds of dull camouflaged WW2 units. The lesson to be learned here is that painting chaos warriors is good for one owns mental health.

Nothing says "We are serious about desolation" like "full skull" armour - well done Sylvain!

This is a very enjoyable, yet still clearly ominous, band of bad guys. They are not here for a dialogue - they are here to steal anything they might like, and wreck all the rest of it. Only a bold band of heroes and adventurers can step forward to stop them!

I think you have found success here with your color palette, and your approach to the basing. The metal also looks lovely. The effect is excellent all-around, and I am sure it will be a great D&D session when these bad guys make their appearance!

Another 50 points for you Sylvain, wonderful work.
