Sverreulf the Red-Handed Version 2!!! Painted!!!

Not sure why I bought two of these miniatures.  I think it may have been a mis-package thing with Red Box Games.  But anyways, much the same with this miniature in a slightly different set of colors.

 I think this mini is like his version of a half-orc or something, hence the pointy ear and fangs.

Hopefully more to follow.....

Sverreulf the Red-Handed!!! Painted!!

 This is another Red Box Games miniature from Tre Manor.  Nice sculpt, but a little small, something between 25 and 32 mm.

 Simply love the musculature on the miniature.  Really had fun with that, its like superhero like.

Much more to follow...

Gorak the Ravager!!!

Another awesome Reaper Miniature.

 This is Gorak the ravager.  Another barbarian model that I originally was going to use with the mutant marauders as well, like the last one.

Look at the size of that axe.  If I would have had this in the chaos army, I would have dremeled that symbol off the axe and added a huge chaos symbol.  But with that project now dead, I just left it.

Simple leather and fur.

 Again the muscles on this  miniature are pretty awesome. Definitely can see the Tre Manor sculpting.

As always more to follow....

The Mad Angus Painted!

This is definitely one of my all time favorite Red Box Miniatures, Mad Angus.  A very cool sculpt and pose.  I really enjoyed painting this miniature.  I just wish his proportions fit better with my current Saxon and Viking armies.

 Unfortunately it does not and looks kind of funny put next to them.

Fun miniature that I plan to put for auction on eBay.

Additions to my Warriors of Chaos Army

As I continue to build the Warriors of Chaos army, I keep adding miniatures, cherry picking all of the models that I like from other manufacturers.  The following are just some of those models.

 

Below we see the worm, from Reaper Miniatures.   This is the Bones one that I have had and shown a bit previously.  I plan to use this as another spawn.

Below is another model that I have had on my radar for awhile and saw it down to Adepticon, so I picked it up and made a couple of changes to it.  It will fit in with my marauders.

Below is another awesome Manor sculpt for Reaper Miniatures.  This is an awesomely huge model that I have had for quite sometime, again purchased before the Bones came out.  The model is mounted on a 50x50 base.  I will use it as a unit filler.

 Below are couple of the gross Helldorado minis.  Very awesome looking minis, look for to painting this dark and sick stuff.

The big guy does have some gaps, but those are easy to fill.

Much more to come......as this project is never done.

WIP On the Desk: Chaos unit filler

I've had this Reaper Miniature for quite some time, prior to knowing about the huge run of Bones that they were going to do.  It is another Manor sculpt.  That poor Viking is getting squashed.

 I did not like the two headed giant, so I dug through the Ogre bits and added that Ogre head and chaos'd it up a little bit.

The right hand weapon was cooler looking that the left hand weapon.  I added the straps, added the pack and covered up the wimpy gut plate the model originally had.

I have a little more to do the miniature, but its coming along.

A Mutant Marauder...An OOP Marauder...A Reaper Marauder

Next up for my Chaos Marauders is converted mutant.  The new gor torsos really have alot more detail to them.  I do like the gore that they have.  It helps impress the evilness of chaos.

 This mini has a bunch of parts used to make it.  Definitely will fit in with the others.

The next miniature is a old OOP GW metal marauder that I converted to a great weapon armed marauder.  I still like these old chaps.  This one will be one of my middle rank and file models.

And there is this old boy, another of the Tre Manor Reaper Miniature sculpts.  Not his best work, but a cool miniature in my book.  I'll probably put it in the middle ranks.

Getting closer to assembling the jigsaw puzzle of units, meshing old work with all of this new work.  I will also be doing a long awaited tutorial on how I build movement trays very soon for all of the Fantasy and Historical readers.

More Marauders...Tre Manor types...

The last batch of the Red Box Games Helsvakt for now.  These like the other Tre Manor sculpts, practically paint themselves. 

I've enjoyed just painting every one of the models, did not even bother converting them.  Very unusual for me.

The blue effect on the shield turned out pretty cool looking.  This one I did flames on the tabard. 

One of the few with a different weapon.  Not really into the style of the hammer.  I did drop it and knocked the hammer up a bit, need to fix the chipped paint on the handle.

This shield is pretty cool.  The skulls and bones off the fur and belt are so cool looking.

And I do like the head on this one.

A bit better on the shield on this one.  I need to remember to reverse the Hot Rod flames on the blue tabards sometime.

Marauding Mayhem...A couple more Chaos Marauders done.

Well I continue the use of models that are not Games Workshop models for my marauders.  Its not that I don't like their models, its that there are other models out there that I really like and so I want to incorporate them into the army. 

This model is a Reaper Miniatures, again sculpted by Tre Manor.  An awesome model and another that will be part of my Maruaders with great weapons.

I did do an axe head swap with a GW, great weapon.  The axe needed a bit more flare.

This is a huge miniature, a 30-32 mm tall miniature.   It will definitely anchor the flank.

And, speaking of great weapons.  This model has quickly become one of my favorites.  I love the faces from the GW Maruader horsemen.  They have very good detail.

This is also the first time I have do the shaven head look.  Having a lot of 5 o'clock shadow moments maybe helps, but understanding the paint washes helps more.

The shield strapped to the back sort of gives that Norse flavor, and I do like this shield with all of its gore.

We're picking them up and knocking them down.  Many more to come.

More Chaos...Marauders with great weapons

I've worked with Matt Gubser quite a few years ago, helping him out of a jam.  It was good experinece.  Matt's been sculpting miniatures for years and has done work for Reaper Miniatures. 

The mini to the left is one of his sculpts.  I thought about converting the miniature and giving it some hair, but in the end left it alone. 

This model wll be part of my marauder great weapon unit.  Its a large model somewhere around 30-32 mm tall, bigger than a GW Marauder, but that is okay in my book.




This a cool miniature.  I like the armor even though its basic and not ornate.  I also think it works well with Tre Manor's miniatures. 

It also has very good musculature.  Matt did a very nice job with that.

As you can see, I've kept the Hot Rod Flames scheme.  And continuing the burnt orange and blue paint colors.  This unit will be marked with Khorne. 

 And to the left is another of the Tre Manor Helsvakt miniatures.  This one will also be in the great weapons unit.

Like the others, this one screams at you.

I do like everyone of these.  The sword is a sort of wicked piece of steel.  Not overly flashy but I do like it.

There is that power looking back and the great detail of the bones and skulls hanging with the fur.

That's it for now.  More marauders are still coming.
