The Appeal of Chaos

*Cue sad, poignant music - X Factor style, something by Coldplay or Snow Patrol should do it*

Many people are drawn to this hobby, sadly not all are able to bring an army to the table whether its cost, modelling ability or sheer idleness.

A recent convert, lets call him him MDN to not reveal his true identity, is having some of these issues and hasn't been able to use his own Chaos army......

*cue uplifting finish, "lights will gui i ii iii de you......" etc*

This is all changing, thanks to Simon the constructor and myself.
I have donated to Mat..errr..MDN's army to help him bring his own models to a games night and if you can spare even one Chaos model, please, please bring this to Ma...err..MDN.

Thank you.

*fade out*

Only having a laugh!
I've been thinking of anything I own I could give to Matt to give his army a boost. 40K chaos is about the only thing I don't have anything of!
Then I came across a Sorcerer Lord I started ages ago and decided I'd finish it off and give it to him.

 (not as red in real life, dodgy camera on phone etc)




Its made from leftovers of a chaos terminator lord kit I used to make a new Abaddon (see below) as the old one looked a bit "tired" and was something I though would be a fun little project.

All I needed was some legs (bits and kits) and the rear torso (made out of green stuff and largely hidden by the cloak and other bits) and I was good to go.
I had ideas of doing a 40K Thousand sons army based on the Pre Heresy colours hence the red and silver. This was abandoned a long time (who knows what the future brings!) though.
Its not based as this can be done once Matt has a theme/scheme for his army.

Abaddon

No, I haven't made this entire post just to state how fantastically generous I am.......

Hobby Round up Week 13

I, Frazer Overlord of all, have been busy with Witches, cowboys, an industrial walker for IHMN and a couple of the Warlord plastic infantry to add to the British IHMN company and a Pegasus for Warhammer Elves

 

 

 

 

Unlucky for some?!

 

It's been busy on the Simon's workbench, anyone would think he's been off work 'ill'...

 

Simon has continued to build Next Door Matt's Chaos Marines; this week we have Terminators, Raptors and some magnetised Special Weapons.

 

 

 

Simon has also been busy paining World War 2 related figures at two scales, firstly the last of his 28mm Brits and then some more 15mm Brits

 

Neil has built some figures in anticipation of playing Lion Rampant, here we have six archers and six halberdiers

 

Chris continues to inflict hobby pain upon himself, he is currently painting a large collection of Night Goblins. The plastic figures are almost done, with just the metal, teeth, eyes and bases to do. The metal Netters & Clubbers and the Fanatics will follow.

Hobby Round up Week 12

It may be 24 hours later than usual, but the wait will be worth it!

First this week are some more pictures of the Nurgle Chaos Warriors that Neil has been working on over the last few weeks. Seven models are now there or there abouts

 

 

 

Simon has been busy again, not only with his own stuff, but with some Chaos Marines for Next Door Matt.

 

Simon has continued work on his Space Wolves and now has some more Terminators that are ready for the table top.

 

 

Si loves to build the models that others hate, and even those that they don't!

 

He has been recently been building Chaos Space Marines for Next Door Matt, with a Lord, some foot sloggers and a Rhino (not pictured) now ready for some paint.

 

 

Hobby Round up Week 11

Happy Mothers day!

 

Not a great deal of hobby to report this week.

 

First up, Neil has continued to plough through some Avatars of War 'Nurgle Warriors'. Having built them last week, now they have a white undercoat and in some cases a myriad of different inks

 

 

 

Simon continues to beaver away on his Space Wolves. His Terminator squad now has a few more colours on them.

 

 

Finally for this week we have Frazer's efforts. He continues to plough through the large amount of Dark Elf Witches he owns, but inches ever closer to bringing them to a Wednesday game.

 

Frazer has also continued to work on some Lonewolf Terminators....

 

 

... and whilst hunting through the garage, unearthed some of his Chaos Marine collection that will be hitting eBay soon.

 

 

Hobby Round up Week 10

Welcome to another visual feast of hobby updates!

 

First up we have some Wolf Guard from Frazer. Many years ago, we created a squad of Space Wolves converted to look like members of the club. Back then we were all in power armour, but now after taking part in many battles, the most decorated of us are being immortalised in Tactical Dreadnought Armour.

 

First up are Si, Neil and Dave.

 

 

Next from Frazer's work in progress pile is some Dropzone Commander vehicles that he is painting for Dave. As you can see they are resplendent in an urban camo scheme

 

 

Simon is next and contrary to the photos he is not a hobby vampire, just appears to prefer taking photos in the dark!

 

First we have some more Space Wolves, this time for his personal force.

 

 

Simon is our resident Bob the Builder, helping out those of the club who are unable to or prefer not to build their own figures.

 

This week he has been helping out Next Door Matt by constructing his Forge Fiend. He has gone the who hog by magnetising the head and weapons.

 

Neil, with a bit more time on his hands at the moment, has been working on some Avatars of War Corrupters, which are lovely models but a beast to glue together.

 

He has done a test scheme on one of them, using a white undercoat and a selection of different inks. For the observant of you, no that isn't the original head, but in fact a Heresy miniatures Blight head.

 

Oh and he also drew a face on a sqush... say hello to Sidney...

 

 

Finally this week, Chris has finished his first 10 Martians from Mantic Game's Mars Attacks game. He will go back to some of the bases in the future and add some trash, with ideas of how to do discarded fizzy pop cans top of his agenda.
