Vogon's Irregulars

[Vogon]

I’ve had a few old chaos models in my bits box for many years and recently decided to start a Warriors of Chaos army for a campaign starting in my local GW.

I few trades and a bit of ebaying has expanded what I have and then I discovered this website.

I’m afraid my updates will be fairly irregular as I don’t get an awful lot of time for painting what with family and all especially in the run up to Christmas when kids commitments really ramp up.

My goal is to use as much old stuff as possible to create a force that is legal and current. I will continue to slowly build this but I think it’s going to be a long term project.

I used the first few models I got painted in a Regiment of Renown one day tournament a couple of weeks ago and this is really what spurred me on to get cracking.

Group shot

And a couple of close ups

To bulk up my core units I have a number of these guys which I’m part way through painting

And finally (for now), I’ve always loved the old Dragon Ogres. The one in the middle I’ve had for years and recently traded to get a couple more to make a unit. I’ve had to rebase my original to put it on a 50x75 and I’ve based the other two to make the unit.

I’ll post more as and when I get more stuff painted

Cheers

P.S. thanks to one of the twins My Chaos Lord who will be leading the army is named Lord Doomageddon the Third

I love what you did with the bone armour fellow.

Nice work

 

[Vogon]

Thanks

And here's the Work in Progress unit of Chaos Warriors.

My goal is to use these as my core and the Jes Goodwin sculpts as a unit of Chosen.

After that it'll be onto some Skullcrushers

Cheers

Slambo has to be one of my all time favorite GW models! I can't wait to see them finished

 

[theottovonbismark]

I like the brassy colours on those Chaos Warriors, bonus points for Slambo.

 

[Vogon]

Sorry but what is Slambo?

Cheers

Vogon

 

[Asslessman]

Slambo is the name of the chaos warrior holding 2 axes, the very same guy leading your unit

 

[Vogon]

Thanks

Where did that name come from? I don't remember that guy from the Combat cards but I know a lot of miniatures got names in the old days.

Cheers

Vogon

 

[Asslessman]

They were all named in the old catalogues, check it here.

 

[Vogon]

OK so a bit of an update.

Here's my WIP Juggernaut of Khorne.

I've got another two to do once this guy is finished. So far I'm pretty pleased with it.

Cheers

Another little "Irregular" update

One unit of Dragon Ogres.

Hope you like them and there'll be more to follow once I get some pictures taken.

Cheers

Good stuff. The armour on those Dragon Ogres has come out nicely. The Jugger is kind of adorable painted with a little gray face, usually people paint them in metallics. Don't get me wrong though I do like it in grey like an angry hippo or elephant.

Are you leaving the bases grey like that? They are a big area to leave flat and devoid of any visual interest and they would be hugely improved with something on there such as stones, broken weapons, bones, tufts of grass, half eaten sheep etc.

Good work on getting a unit of those vintage Dragon Ogres together!

 

[Vogon]

Thanks for the comments

I always thought the first incarnation of the Juggernaut looked like a living daemon encased in armour and do indeed look like a really annoyed hippo. This more than anything influenced my choice of colour scheme for the heads.

The rest is pretty standard Khorneate colours.

Anyway here are the other two together as a unit of skullcrushers

Also my Tzeentch Sorcerer

I will be doing more to the bases but my first priority is to get them to a fit state for gaming. Extra base features will be added later. I'm intending on adding a snow/winter theme to the bases

Cheers

I rather like the skullcrushers. I don't think I would have come up with the "hippo grey" look, but it works really well!

 

[Vogon]

Thanks Jeff McC

I'll post more as I get them finished.

Cheers

Vogon

 

[Ti Pouchon]

I do like the Khorne hippos too. A very convincing idea and executed really well.

 

[Plaiecivile]

I really like the way you painted your juggernauts!
Giving the head a more fleshy look is exactly what my color scheme was missing... sorry but I might "borrow" the idea

 

[Vogon]

Well I said it'd be "Irregular"

Here's 3 generations of Tyranid Squigs/Rippers

I'll post some more of my chaos guys later on.

Cheers

Vogon

 

[Dr The Viking]

Ah! Wonderful stuff!


I always become a bit depressed when I see that mage with a mace. I parted with him before I knew that he was an old figure (well, in truth before I knew there were a difference between oldies and new stuff).

 

[Chico]

Heh nice use of the Tyranid Big Squid, I have one on a base of 'Stealer Patriarch
