Biting off more than one can chew.


While my collection of miniatures is primarily composed from Games Workshop models, I see no reason to keep that as anything other than happenstance. And so I ventured beyond my usual comfort zone and acquired Dumah, Lord of Bones from Kimera miniatures. It was a stunning model and I knew I wanted it.


What I didnt expect is that it would be SO DAMN BIG, a chaos warrior scarely reaches above his knees, and perched upon his rock he gives my lord and his monstrous mount (I promise ill get around to showing them off, just not today) a run for their money. While my initial plan was to use him as a chaos lord he will most likely now serve as a demon prince, in particular the one I shall use if my lord ever goes and gets really lucky on the rolls.

Another issue I have with the model is that it is simply too versatile, theres too many ways to assemble it and I cant decide on the exact combination of details that I want.


But worry not, for I have devised a solution to my conundrum, a while ago, for an event exactly like this, I purchased some magnets, magnets I shall use to make the model customize-able without the need for glue. Why choose when I can have it all? 


Edit: The name of the article proved rather accurate, and the magnets I have arent up to the job.

My chaos knight regiment is finally complete. They dont quite rank up so I couldnt get the exact sort of group photo I wanted.  Thankfully the individual pictures are better: The standard bearer: Musician:   Champion (you've allready seen this one): And the rank and file: This post may have come off as a bit long, but Im pleased with how the whole squad turned out. Dont expect to see individual photo's for every single chaos warrior though.

Second verse same as the first.

The champion for my chaos knight regiment (The Hexed) is finished. Unlike the other riders he has a lance and horns to give him some verticality and help him stand out among his peers. In addition I decided to play with the colors on the details, since with such a uniform armor scheme its easy for models to end up looking samey. As such his horse is a brown (in contrast to the previous riders dark grey/black charger) and the reins are a beige/white with some blood stains on) Overall I am fairly happy with how the model turned out, and I look forwards to having the full regiment painted up and assembled in formation,

Scheduling as promised. Promise!

 Coursework is killing me. But I managed to get some work done on my putrid blight kings. The pale white/blue skin makes a great contrast to their rusty dark brown armor, and the purple of the boils should make for a nice spot contrast. Theyre also fairly easy to paint! The first model I painted for the unit, you can spot the wet-pallete in the backgroud, neat piece of gear that. And the unit as a whole. Putrid Blight kings have a very distinct look, and they should contrast nicely with the more armored chaos warriors and knights.
