Chaotic army collecting

Postby mattjgilbert » Tue Sep 16, 2008 7:34 pm

Or rather, I'm going to start putting together a couple of Chaos armies.

I got the daemon box set when it came out but never did anything with it. I'm going to add a few more bits to it and use it in both 40K and WHFB. I'll build this one up slowly, seeing how the various units work out and wait for things like plastic plague bearers to come out before I get them.

Chaos mortals though are a different matter :) It's another army I always fancied and only ever sporadically got bits and pieces for (and sold/lost/traded along the way). With the release of the new book and range in November and with what looks like great plastics for building up a force quickly, I've started to think about other bits I'd want to see and about themes and painting styles.

Some of the best models GW ever made were the Chaos chapion range in the circa 1990 (see my WANTED post ( http://www.ageofstrife.com/modules.php? ... pic&t=2641 )). I've got a couple of these already I can strip and repaint but would love some more.

I've also always wanted a Slaanesh and/or Nurgle army so will be on the lookout for those ones in particular. Trouble is I either collect lots of everything and paint things in a non-god-specific way or go god-specific and paint accordingly. Not sure what to do yet.

As for painting styles for the two, I'm leaning towards dipping for the deamons and more traditional painting for the mortals.

Thoughts?

[EDIT] Yes, this does mean my current project list is now:

Ultramarines
Necrons
Nids
Daemons
Chaos mortals
High Elves
O&G
Unfinished buildings and other terrain

I like to make life complicated don't I? ;)

You're right. I've been kidding myself. I'll think of some more things to do :D

Hmmmm... daemonic/chaos terrain to use on either game system... plus some 40K fantasy specific stuff. Got any smart ideas Mr estarriol?

Go for the ziggurat (i'm tempted to do one) http://uk.games-workshop.com/warhammer/25ziggurat/1/
Or a sacirificial table\ mound- chaos always kills for their gods no matter when they are.
Barely even lurking..

Hmmm... should be pretty easy to do as well :)

I'm also keeping a watch on a lot of ebay items to see how cheap I can build the two forces (on top of getting new stuff via my trade account) :D

Sheesh KMB, I remember the Zigguratt of Doom from the 1st edition of Warhammer!

As well as the best named group of dwarves they ever did...

Sacrificial Alter is good for chaos or maybe a portal or demonic gate.

Ruined chaos temple is also a fave.
