Finished at last! I have managed to finish off my warband. I'm not up to developing a bit of background for them perhaps with my next project.
First up the banner holder for the chaos warriors, a converted Chaos Marine from Space Crusade.
This is the leader of this warband a rescued chaos warrior who had lost an arm and now has a dark eldar organic / mechanical tentacle. He is actually much bluer in the flesh.
This is the complete warriors and goblins.
And finally the warband.
I've really enjoyed the project especially with the constraints, I'll go on to my next better prepared. The question is what to do next? Should I start my small animals warband or as it is Orktober start my Hyborks?
All comments and suggestions encouraged.

I like the bright colours on the Chaos Warriors!
I also like the idea of replacing the helmet orb with a skull. I might borrow this idea myself...

Yes a very chaotic one at that! I was practicing using washes and inks and went a bit overboard - is that possible with a chaos warband?

nah. you can't have too much practice!

TBH when I saw each figure individually I thought "meh" but en mass the warband looks fantastic. Exactly what a lot of us wanted to achieve as wee nippers, a cohesive and striking warband packed with conversions and original ideas. Rainbow of chaos and goblin cultists? Slaanesh FTW!

Thanks for the comments, they do look better en masse. The next warband will be featured in the showcase or WIP threads. I suppose it should be WIP as all my stuff seems to be a WIP

here's another batch, all in production figures to the best of my knowledge: terezinya and familiar by reaper (picked up from spirit games by mail order as most of my metal reaper miniatures have been) and the fenryl ark 009 armee squelettes (purchased from battlefield berlin).
... and all together:

twenty ghouls and a nosferatu to add to the ranks.
the ten citadel ghouls were picked up from ebay earlier this year for £2.74 a piece inluding p&p. the eight heresy, two (plastic) mantic ghouls and the reaper nosferatu are all currently available.

i've never shown my initial full contribution on this thread, despite it being the reason i started posting to the forum.
since then i've added another couple of units.
note the reuse of terezinya; she has been replaced in the skeleton unit above.

Do love your scarecrows and I love a good pumpkin head. We're pondering what kind of full size scarecrow to add to the 2026 Halloween madness that is our driveway. Think I might have the same witch/pumpkin model in the pile somewhere. Anyhow good to see the units in their splendour.

thank you.They look great (and the banners made me laugh
i actually competed the initial entry in 2015, then increased the 'spear' unit to 20 in 2020. the two-handed unit was also added to over the years and also brought up to 20, along with a one-handed weapon unit in 2024.
thank you.
double bass. the musicians have a jazz triumvirate in their spare time.

I admit, that bass does look quite small. Maybe half size? (My nephew plays a 3/8 and my new stand partner plays a 5/8 I think. 1/2 is very much a thing. I play a 3/4.) But unless he's seated I'm inclined to read it as a bass. Anyway . . . it's a cool miniature. A Birth of the Cool miniature.

i accept your superior musical knowledge, a bass it is.
