Chaos growing collection

[Obscure Creator]

Hi all oldhammer fans!
Recently I just returning to my old collection of warhammer , and sadly a LOT of miniatures were missed
Just about 6 khorne champions and 2 nurgle still there , so after loking again at them for looong minutes almost rediscovering how cool those old minis are ,
I decided to "recollect" the chaos champions and warriors from that era and give them a good paintjob.
So here are my first steps on that process:

The ones I already have:

New additions!

2 entire ranks of khorne!:

And new Nurgle guys getting started!

Hope you like it! More to come soon!

Cracking start - they are great minis

I can't wait to see how these turn out. I will be following this project with interest.

Same here:
among the champions there are some of my fav sculps from classic Warhammer

Looking tasty so far mate, Chaos figures of that era are just so much better then 90% of what came after.

Ok , some new guys coming to the ranks!

And... first one completed!
Not so happy with the little shiny added by the barnish...but its ok

Need to clean that base....

He's fantastic, great weathering on the shield. What do you use for the bases?

 

[stone cold lead]

Some very nice painting there.

 

[demi_morgana]

What they said - great work!
I also have to finally try to paint fly freehand...

 

[Thantsants]

Beautiful work on the shield and the slight shine could be a nice coating of mucus for the Nurgly champion

Lovely models with a lovely paint job.

Bases are mostly made of a mix of bark , greystuff, real stones , corck.... and also then covered with some textured paint.

So tasty, keep them coming

Another guy is almost done.....

 

[DaImp]

Absolutely beautiful! Great bases too.
How do you go about painting these guys?

 

[Thantsants]

Gribbly and nicely tainted

 

[Just John]

Thanks for that, I must give that a try sometime. They are excellent pj's really Nurglely

Hmmm , what do you mean? How I go about about painting them? .....

 

[DaImp]

Do you use a dip, washes, layering etc... Just curious how you get your effect.

Oh ok , it was that.
Well , first I make a black priming wich then is carefully lighted with white by airbrush, that gave a very nice lightning effect to work over.
Like that:

Then I apply very ultra thin layers of ink or very diluted paint , that very soft layers add colour step by step but being very translucent , so the white lightning and the black shadows still punching through.
Then the flesh parts , pouches or smaller detail use to have a more "regular" treatment.
Hope it helps
