Pair of metal Chaos Spawn from Games Workshop.  The spawn on the right is converted with the head/torso from a flamer demon & has the back spines replaced with flamer arms.

Trio of Beastmen

Filed under: WFB, miniatures — Tags: , — chicagoterrainfactory @ 11:16 pm

A set of Beastmen dating to around 2003.  Originally painted for a dungeon crawl game played at the first Adepticon - I’d almost forgotten that I still owned these until I found them hanging out with the rest of the chaos army.

Full Set Lava Bases

Filed under: 40K, Sculpting, WFB, casting, resin — Tags: — chicagoterrainfactory @ 11:15 pm

The new demon armies provide gamers the opportunity to play one set of models for both 40K and WFB.  The lava bases project is for a friend of mine who wanted a complete set of bases for an upcoming chaos army project.  All that’s needed is either a pinning or magnet system to flip an army from one system to the other.

The bases are green stuff/procreate over plastic bases.  Texture is applied with a concrete rock, then lava channels are added with a wire hook tool and a standard sculpting tool.  Hardest part of the whole project was mixing up all the green stuff - the bases used up a 30 inch roll of GS.  I spent more time mixing than sculpting.   FYI - don’t let your green stuff lay around too long.  The roll I used was stored in the freezer for 6 years, causing the yellow portion to develop a skin that mixed poorly with the blue portion.

The bike/cavalry bases are designed to go from square to round.  The square cav base slots into the open space on the round bike base.

Minotaurs

Filed under: WFB, painting — chicagoterrainfactory @ 11:02 pm

A group of Minotaurs from my beast army.

Doom Bull The standard Doombull is just too small. Torso is from the Doom Bull miniature, legs and axe from the Blood Thirster, a claw from the Slaanesh greater Demon and a green stuff loin cloth.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Minotaurs

Great Weapons are brutally effective in the hands of Minotaurs. This unit is my favorite group to play with - making it into both my beast and my hordes armies. Nothing says loving like a frenzied charge throwing 16, strength 6 attacks.

Minotaurs 2

Two hand weapons just don’t match up with the damage of great weapon Minotaurs. Wish I had know that before buying the unit. Oh well, they still serve as a useful decoy unit that’s far to dangerous to ignore.

Shaggoth

Filed under: WFB, painting — chicagoterrainfactory @ 10:33 pm

The Shaggoth remains one of the best figures for the Beastman army - its a shame the rules don’t promote the model’s use.

Shaggoth

This figure touches on both paint schemes found in my Chaos army. The torso is painted in the khaki tones found in my Beastmen forces while the serpent like legs/tail is a purple color with dark yellow highlights that is typical my demons.

Chaos Spawn

Filed under: WFB, miniatures, painting — chicagoterrainfactory @ 11:11 pm

Why bother with GW Spawn kits when you can create your own?  Can never have too many spawn when playing with Morghur.

The beast army box has a picture of men turning into beasts. What better spawn then a pair of Empire militia men being torn in two by the forces of chaos.
