Warrior Project: Korne BSB on Demonic Steed

Some images of the Khorne BSB on Demonic Steed.  Its a simple conversion using Demon arms, demon prince head, multiple chaos symbols for the chaos standard, demon horns and tongue for the horse.  Green stuff was then added for a flaming effect, similar layering like other demon models, and the classic cork base.

Warrior of Chaos Project

After completion and final miniatures came to completion(i.e. Chaos Dwarfs) its time to move onto another Chaos creation - Warriors.  Some of my first attempts at WoC are 4 dragon ogres pictured here(Ignore the FW little guy).  I have taken my usual baby step conversions with new weapons, spikes, and tail extensions.

The final images below are my dragon ogres on 50mmx75mm wooden bases.  The models turned out fine with each lower dragon portion being a different color.

Rise of LegendsL Regiments of Renown

 Regiment of Renown: Demonic Warriors

The Regiment of Renown is a Warhammer World Event not lost overseas.  We are attempting to reproduce what Britain has but here in Chicago, Illinois.  Over the next several months myself and several other hobbyists will be putting outselves into the hot-seat and developing Renowned Regiments representative of core army books from Games Workshop.  I plan on working on Warriors of Chaos with a Khorne demonic edge.  The idea will be to completely build each model with a specific theme, demonic in nature.  I want to do Khorne demons because I feel they are the most iconic demons Games Workshop has developed and that most other people identify with, examples Satan.  Then I must incorporate 'special wargear' for each model like a spikey club or eye-patch.  Furthermore, upgrades for individual leaders, musicians, and standard bearer.

CGI demon example

These images are reflective of the theme I want to try and complete which includes using the demon bits I have on Warrior of Chaos models.  The flames will be incorporated with green stuff and will be blue. 

Classic Khorne

A color explosion and what i will try and achieve

A good example of what I will try and achieve can be seen below with destroyer from my CD army this past year.  It includes blue flames, ultra-forge demon parts, bloodthirster bits, and hellcannon bits. 

Example of Khorne Demon already produced, previously used as a destroyer.

My list with a little bit of everything...

Chosen, General – Enchanted shield, nurgle, luck stone, devastating charge stone, dragon bane gem, halberd 

Forsaken slannesh, frenzy, swift-stride, renown – hatre

Warrior, nurgle, halberd, shield

Warrior nurgle, shield, halberd

Best Board: Battle Board 2013

Well this is the final product of the battle board for MWR 2013.  It did run away with Best Table out of 7-8 entries.  I tried to go for a lava themed, dead strewn out look.  The forests are all charred with scorched grass throughout and the hills are elevated metal with lava underneath.  The mountain side keep embedded in the rock has a lava mote around it.  All in all I don't know how long the board took to make because the 2' by 2' sections are all small pieces of foam glued together however I would estimate 40-60 hours for everything.  It was worked on over several months in increments.

Midwest Rampage 2013

Just got back From midwest rampage 8 in Peoria Illinois.  Had 5 great game and 5 great opponents.  Lots of familiar faces and great armies showed up to hack it out.  Overall had a good time, wish I would of hung out more but being so close to adepticon I have to keep peace at home.  However, I did end up 3rd best overall, Grabbed best painted and Best table.  First round I fought, Josep Schmid, Skaven, 2nd Ray Lambert, Dark Elves, 3rd Chris Yu with High Elves, 4th Joe Gero, Warriors of Chaos, and 5th Grant Fetter, Ogre kingdoms. I will have to say that my shooting was a little above average for almost all the games, however my magic lingered several times I missed casting big spells because of low rolls and Blood Chalice helped out defensively more than it did offensively.   I ended up 4-1 losing my last game but a great record for an army that is underrepresented.

                            The two awards I did Receive Best Appearance and Best Terrain Table.  

The skaven force I fought against game 1.



Deployment game 1 Dawn Attack versus Skaven

Large central battle turn 3 game 1 big mess.

Game 1 came to a win because of a result on the Skaven's Screaming bell that forces a d6'' move for all units within 12''.  It allowed me to multi-charge and eventually kill enough points for a win.

Tower scenario versus High Elves, Chris Yu.

Same turn game 3 more intense everything is piled in the corner.

game 3 Came close but all this combat between Phoenix's, Dragon Prionces, Kdaii, and Bull centaurs didn't matter.  My shooting and fireballs destroyed units in the tower and I won with a lucky shot(magma cannoned a level 4) and won by 200 points.

Game 4 day 2 versus Warriors, Joe Gero, Battleline.

Later turn in the game the DP is the only fighter left who made it behind my ranks.

Game 4, day 2, versus Joe Gero a hard fought Battle Line Scenario that he had to make.  Losing both big Monsters was key to me saving my front line.  The DP ran around a building and eventually engaged my back ranks but I had killed enough with everything else to secure a win, luckily.



Game 5 versus Ogres, Grant Fetter, Blood and Glory

 Table 1 Game 5 was blood and glory versus grant fetter.  I originally thought about holding up the middle with my hobgoblins against his big block of ogres; however, I sent them to my right flank.  My destoyer didn't last as long as I thought it might have.  Additionally I lost magic dice and phases to poor casting and hellheart.  This was a good game but I didn't feel like it was up my ally with only 6 fortitude and my poor shooting/casting options.


Final scoring and plaque distribution, great event.
