Skull crusher of khorne

This is my current experiment with the air brush all of the red was air brushed on and the OSL on the eyes was obviously done with the airbrush as well. There is still a lot I need to learn as far as changing shades to get a gradient I am looking for but experience is the only way I see to learning that one.  

Last unit of warriors of chaos!

Theses guys mark my finished core for the warriors of chaos army I have a few more odd units to finish painting to have a fully paint 2000+ point army with them but I am getting close now.

Vampire Counts VS. Lizzardmen 1550pts

deployment... 

 Vamps turn one: mostly moving up trying to stay away enough to give it a good chance the lizzards would fail charges. Also the terrorghiest screeched at the skinks with poison blowpipes killing a lot of them and running them off the board. 

 Lizzardmen turn one: there were several failed charges includeing one that needed about 3-4 inches to make it work...

but due to horrible rolling did not work out. Worse then that the one charge that did go off on the opposite flank was the steg who them rolled poorly on impact rolls and was in turn chopped almost to death by my vampire lord.

 vampire turn two: my lord and his units of ghouls finished the steg off easily  and the rest of my army move up to block or prepare for the next turns charges on the left flank. on the right flank my hexwraiths charged the lizard cav killing enough to win the combat by a small margin and some how the lizards failed there moral check and started to run... so now I broken the moral of two lizard units not likely but still it happened.

 Lizard turn two: his cav somehow failed there moral again and kept running.The dice were just not going his way this game.  But he got in and started wiping out my big block of zombies seance it was in the way as I had intended .

 Vampire turn three:  My hexwraiths ran down the Saurus  cav but putting them selves well out of the fight for some time. the terrorgheist screamed at the skink priest and killed him. and I lost the last of the zombies to the saurus warriors sadly they could not last at least past this turn to save me from getting charged on his turn.

Lizard turn three: The saurus warriors made a nice long charge and devastated the ghouls but left the vampire lord unharmed. 

Vampire turn four: The lord killed the lizardman hero in a challenge 

Vampire turn five: I seem to have lost the lizard half of this turn but mostly it was just an exchange in the back field between the terrorgheist and the skink cohort with the terrorgheist coming out of top by the end of my turn. Also due to the length of the charge needed I just moved up my grave guard to block the saurus and set up for the vampire to hit them

 Vampire turn six: lost the lizard turn half again sadly but the graveguard and vampire won the combat om my turn to finish off the last Lizzardman on the table.

So this was the first time I have won with my vampires in a long time. And I learned what most vampire players take for granted... A tolled up lord can rampage in close combat you just need to be playing at high enough points to take the items and skills needed to get him the re-rolls to hit , a +2 str weapon(or if you have points +3) also some red fury to add attacks.  

Nurgle warriors of chaos finished

well the khaki did not really show up and the rust got out of hand but it seems reasonable on Nurgle's children. So I am rather pleased with them the white fur is going to be the thing that makes them look like a cohesive army with the rest of the units.

Nurgle warriors of chaos part: one

 

These are mostly my standard way of basing everything but the green was lightly dusted with khaki to highlight the green with the air brush it is rather light and kinda hard to see in the shots and I fear it wont make much of a difference when they are finished but we can all hope I am wrong.      

ghouls finished up

I finished the 10 ghouls I was working on for this unit they ended up a lot darker then there kin but The mix seems to have turned out nice.

Warriors of chaos finished

Well the first 12 warriors are done I cant seem to find there movement tray but they are still all finished. I really like how the red came out the airbrush is a great way to get shadowing in and high lighting that is not to stark. At least not to stark for my taste.  

Warriors of chaos progress.. at least a little..

Some small progress today its on to washes and highlight for the haulbards and smaller details next session I still need to work out how I want to paint the leather cape but that should work its self out after I do the white fur and what not.

Warriors of chaos sorcerer finished up

I have to apologize for the picture quality for some reason I was having trouble getting it bright enough. But you can see the rework I did on the skirt. I shot the dark purple into the low sections again and of course the over spray got the high points some what. So I hand painted the light purple back on that and I have to say I think that came out great this time. The rest is sort of standard painting at least it is the way I normally do it.

Warriors of chaos progress

Today I had a bit of time and did some basing on my warriors. Not a huge amount of progress but still moving along.
