Khorne Warband Update - Citadel Chaos Beastmen



 A quick post this time; rather than wait til all six beastmen have been completed, I've decided to post the first two. Well one of them was actually painted about 5 years ago. I've rebased him plus given him a few alterations as well to fit in with the rest of the band.

The bread and butter of any chaos warband

 I saved the guy on the right from an eternity in the bits box, formally belonging to my mate who had hacked off the original weapon and used him as a blood bowl player.

 I had actually gone off Jes Goodwin beastmen for a fair while. I felt they had a little too much order to them and had favoured the older broo and C27 beastmen instead. However, I've rekindled a bit of love for them and of course, suit the Realm of Chaos warband aesthetic.


 I'm really enjoying a resurgence of painting red armour after an absence dating back to the mid 90's when I stripped virtually everything to begin the chaos army that exists today in metallics.

 So the warband is nearing completion with just four beastmen to go. I'm keen to wrap them up as I'm continuing with the Khorne vibe and have plenty of exciting things planned.

    I love this warband! These guys are a great addition. The black armour with the gold trim works perfectly against the red-brown.

      Cheers Jon! It means a lot to hear how much you like them. I think the plan will be to mix them up a bit; red and gold or black and gold.

    Looking boss mate! Personally I love the old Jes beastmen, so I'm pleased to hear they've grown on you.

    Beautiful work! I love how rich the red armor is, and you really make the most of how detailed and how much personality these sculpts have! You're making me want to see about scoring a few of my own off eBay...

      Thanks very much Bill! It's been nice to paint red armour again after such a long absence. Yeah their detail and quality rival Jes Goodwin's range of Chaos champions.
