Regiments of Renown, RR12 Flying Gargoyles of Barda

So the latest chaos army installment is a classic Regiments of the Renown set, The Flying Gargoyles of Barda, featuring the leader, standard bearer and musician, accompanied by three troopers.

Released in early 1985, this range were mounted on clear plastic flying stands but I always found their details were obscured as they were flying face down (the leader being the exception) so I've pinned them in an upright position to show them off in their full glory.

According to their back story, they were summoned by the wizard Barda (a likely airbone reference to Douglas Bader) Von Micklestein of Marienburg. 80's GW did always love a pun. They're particularly flimsy models and I'm not sure how long they'll survive the test of time pinned through the ankle, troopers especially.

To be honest, I was glad to get them finished, especially the wings which was the final part to get done. Painting all six pairs in one hit was a little soul destroying.

So with them out of the way, it's time to take another break from the chaos army. With two completed Broo and warrior regiments, a fire giant, the rest of the knights and now the gargoyles, I feel the urge for a different path for a while. Thankfully I'm overflowing with ideas. Just need to pick one. I may opt for more Rogue Trader traitor marines, after the recent traitor terminator Captain, although I've a small vignette in mind also.
