Chris' Chaos Army Month 1 - Rank & File

So it's been a good month, I haven't painted a centaur since the 1980's. I can't remember who made them but enjoyed painting. It was great to paint the Ral Partha Cloud Giant as my Secret Santa for this challenge. The unit is 10 strong, with shields and light armour, lead by a lvl 15 hero at 590 points

The secret Santa giant turned out well but the skin took forever before I was happy with it.

Next month I'll complete the thug cavalry. Don't much like painting cavalry so intend to get them out of the way early.

Cultists. I've always loved chaos cultists. To me they are "the great forgotten" from Warhammer. I don't like barbarians, especially for Slaanesh, but I love cultists. So I will play cultists as maraudeurs. 

I tried to paint some miniatures... To be 100% honest, it has been a pain in the ass. January is a very strange month. Everything is moving fast but I was like "nooooo I don't want to move, let me sleep again".

I started with what would be the most boring to me, foot infantry. Cultists. I will play them as marauders with 2 hand weapons.

The command group is from Heresy Miniatures. Most of the other cultists are conversion of my own based on old Dark Eldars Homonculi. Those miniatures are very ugly but I like their "Hellraiser style", and they are all in metal, which means a lot to me.  There are also some old GW cultists from W40K that I converted to WHFB in the name of the Dark Prince !

The "leader" with the long spear is an actual model from Shadespire (unfortunately in plastic), the big guy and the lady on the left of the picture are from Stephane Simon, an independant miniatures designer that I love.

I also found the time to work on my centaurs...

Once again, I've never liked the concept of "chaos marauders" and how they where introduced from 4th ed to 5thed. But tacticly speaking, they are quite interesting so I decided to build a unit of mounted marauders with chaos centaurs miniatures.

I wanted some diversity, the concept of chaos centaurs in itself is quite funny : angry creatures too ungainly to do something with their hands except destruction. As Slaaneshi Chaos Centaurs, I can imagine them very frustrated :D 

And of course, there is a zebra one ;)

So here they are ! The 6 riders of frustration ! Behold !

Next month, I think I will paint my daemonettes and their master, a Daemon Prince of Slaanesh !

Before that, enjoy the ride and destroy everything for the Dark Prince !
