Citadel Unreleased Chaos General and Counter Collect Chaos Warrior

 

 I've been meaning to make a start on a chaos warrior regiment but wanted a couple of ranks of broo finished first. The first pair are done and I've gone for two rarities to kick off.

 On the left we have a very rare model indeed. In fact, I only purchased this a couple of weeks ago and had never even seen it before, other than the image in the unreleased section of the Collecting Citadel Miniatures wiki page. I think it had been in my ebay watch list for about 12 years and was stunned to see it come up. I'm delighted to have been able to add it to the army and to be honest, never expected to ever get my hands on one. 

 On the right is the fairly scarce chaos warrior from the Counter Collect range from 1984. Basically, you would collect counters from blister packs that would form the image of a particular miniature; Wizard, Barbarian, Ogre etc, then send them off to claim the figure. This particular model is one of my favourite chaos warriors. I just love that armour and his elaborate mace. The shield is very unique also. 

 I don't always take photos of the backs of my miniatures these days but seeing how scarce these boys are, it makes sense to.

 There are more chaos warriors to come and should hopefully have another two or three ready next week, one being a converted standard bearer.

Citadel C33 Adventure Pack - Chaos General

 

 So with my broo regiment at a point where I can take a break, I've opted for the overall commander of my chaos army, the foot and mounted Chaos General from the C33 Adventure Pack series.

 Also doubling up as Dart, Earl of Harkness from the McDeath scenario, the Chaos General is one of four foot and mounted Chaos models from the C33 range. I've painted them all before in the past but he is the first to be repainted. All four are some of my favourite models of all time, for their style and unique design and were highly sought after by myself for many a long year, back in the pre Ebay days and took a lot of effort to finally land them. 

 The horses for this range are wonderfully detailed but they're damned time consuming to work on and I certainly won't be doing the other three in one hit. One a month may sound a little more realistic. 

 So the plan is to carry on with the chaos theme but I haven't decided to work on the third rank of the Broo regiment or Chaos Warriors yet. Or maybe something else.

 

Citadel Runequest Broo Regiment - second row finished

 So I've managed to get another row of five Runequest Broo wrapped up, featuring more of my personal favourites from the range.

Two of these favourites are One Leg and Tentacles. Both took a while to track down. They're both perfect as stand out individuals in the regiment.

 Unicorn is also a perfect example of the diversity this fantastic range offers. The small baboon-like creature just oozes that sinister weirdness. Exactly the sort of feel I'm after for this regiment. 

 I've mixed up the new with the first phase lot and the plan is to get another five done soon. I'm going to take a break from them for a short while to work on what will be the supreme commander of my chaos army.
