Though neglected for a while, I got some more work in on the warp talons this weekend. They have a little ways to go, basing, likely some cleaning up and perhaps some more shading but being impatient I decided I wanted to go ahead and attach the wings.
I've also been invited to join a small-scale WHFB campaign, and using what I already have painted came up with a 500pt force. Behold the Bargarian Hordes!
Well, a part of the hordes at any rate. Coming up from Bargaria into the lands of the Border Princes, Thrak Skullsplitter (exalted champion, extra hand weapon....ooooo) leads his Chaos Warriors with a chariot to handle pesky flankers or run down any fleeing opponents and some ravening hounds to sniff out the enemy and get in their way. The warriors I had leftover from my old Chaos army. The chariot is second-hand. I just did a little touch up and shading on it for now, but I guess I will need to get it on a chariot base at some point. The hounds are from my Hell Hounds Chaos Marines, used as lesser daemons. With the codex change, they were looking for a new home anyways, and Thrak got a good bulk deal on them at the miniatures pound.
I would do the same thing if I built Raptors, I would use the Possessed wings.....like the vibrant colors!
ReplyDeleteI have been storing them up for use when I eventually made Raptors, but now that there are two varieties, they went to the Warp Talons. I plan to make regular Raptors too, but I think they'll get jump packs. I have a few wings left over for characters.
DeleteAs for the colors, I wanted them to be bright and somewhat garish, but not too tacky. Hope I end up on the right side of the line!
The Warp Talons look good. Do you know if anybody else can join in the 500 pt WHFB campaign? I want to get back into fantasy and 500 pt games would be a good way to refresh the 8th ed rules.

Yessir, the more the merrier, i'm the Organizer. We are trying to go for a very heavy "fluff" oriented games, with lots of scenarios and events based on things from the Old Generals Compendium book.
DeleteThanks ColK!
DeleteGlad to hear you're joining the campaign; should be a fun time!
Thanks for the invite. I have a copy of the compendium too and really like play games using it.
