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. 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.
