Chaos Dwarfs of the Murder Mountain

Long time no see! The last few years have been busy and hard on the hobby life, in-between studying physics and becoming a father not much time has been spent on the hobby let alone blogging.
However I finished this bastard, who will be the standard of a 4ed (with 3ed models) Chaos dwarf army I plan to do over the next year or two.

He is originally the standard bearer for the old bugman's regiment. But look at that Babylonian beard it reeks of evil doesn't it?! I painted the banner with my own design using the tutorial from Nicos awesome blog :http://nico-realmsofchaos.blogspot.com/2013/09/tutorial-how-make-your-own-banner.html . Looking forward to give him some mates and start blogging a bit again.

Enjoy - Pork

Citadel Fox Priest

Hi guys, it has been a while since ive painted some old lead. But yesterday the ich got real and i dug out one of my favorite citadel models of all time. The Citadel fox priest! Everything about this miniature is awesome from the robe to the dragon staff. For the painting part, i primed it white (never tried this before) and used alot of watered down colours, besides that i got really inspired by Don Hans approach to the fox priest and miniatures in general!

Enjoy , C&c is more than welcome ! Happy Hollydays!

Jebediah Helmawr.Jr and the Iron Suns

 Hi all!

After 4 months of ''hard'' and ''semi intense'' work I finally finished  my confrontation gang. I made the gang for my gaming
clubs Necromunda campaign and played them as Orlocks.
The majority of the gang is made of old citadel confrontation gangers caught on ebay,
with empire and old imperial guard bits. Besides that there is a night horror imp posing as a caryatid and a hasslefree something as a heavy?
As for the paintjob I wanted to do it part grimey and part clean , as a 50-50  mix of John Blanche and Jakob Rune Nielsen .
I was directly inspired by JRN's booklet post centaur painting for the white weapons.
Sprinkled with checks, bleached hair , beard stubs and stipling for texture.

Here goes the gang of Jebediah Helmawr.JR and the Iron Suns.
Jebediah is Helmawr the ruler of Necromundas great great grandson and Jeb is working under direct command of Helmawr.
Disciplined , rich and unfair. He does the dirty work of the spires ruler. Everything from executions to bribe collection,
and ''pest control'' in the upper, middle and lower levels.
Some of the gang members are either Jebs own sons or nephews while others are hand picked from the top ranks of gangs in the lower levels.
When they arent performing tasks for Helmawr, they party hard and hunt scavies!

I hope you like them !

Byron , Jebediah Helmawr.JR and Jebediahs Caryatid.

Alien merchant

Alien merchant

Sup ! Hope you had a merry christmas !
I was so lucky to get a early christmas present in late november by my good friend Sonny Bundgaard.
Sonny is the owner of the club i play at, and is the most passionate hobbyist i know.
With not only hella beefy painting skills but also extraordinary sculpting skills.
He sculpted this ''Alien merchant'' for a contest , and from what i heard he is considering to do an entire line of space/alien civilians which will all come up for sale at some point.
You can check out his work at

or his blog

Enough with the praise hahah

 I had a hard time deciding what colour skin i would give him , but i settled on purple
 as its the colour i use the least.
For the clothing i went for a crossbreed between jedi robes and dirty mechanic.
I built up the purple from Hexed lichen (vallejo game colour purple) and elf skintone with a tiny tiny droplet of bleached bone.
On his back i got insipired by JRN's weathered white on the merchants holodisk displayer? or what ever it is hahah.

I would love to hear if any of you were interested in a copy of this guy or other space civilians for that matter.
C&c are very welcome as are all questions.

Happy new year!

Nurgle Spawn

Hi there , time for a some content .

I wanted to show you guys my chaos spawn , that will be used in my 8th ed chaos army.

I really liked the old GuO , but his legs were just too fat and stubby so i sculpted some tentacles for him to creep around with.

For painting i primed him white , and then started glazing and washing like a madman. Did a few highligths , and picked out a strong red as a contrast to all that rot.

Hope you like the lardass :) C&c is allways welcome 

And as a tiny bonus i lined up some future projects , a rogue trader inquisitor crew and a confrontation bounty hunter gang .

Untill next time! 

YOUNGEST LEAD HEAD IN THE WESTERN HEMISPHE..r.... okay i will relax...

RoC Battle

Hi all ! I just had my second game of RoC my my buddy Thomas Riley from the forums.
We both just picked some models to be in our warband , and played WSYIWYG style. We also tried out 4th ed card magic as we felt 3rd ed magic was a bit too over powered. But the 4th ed magic was made for army battles and was pretty overpowered aswell.

We played a scenario where the objective was to persuade a chaos wizard to follow you to your deployment zone with a leadership test. Also if you lost a combat round with him you would have to roll an additional leadership test for him not to flee.

Here goes some pictures !

The classic warhammer poses , me on the left and Riley to the right.

 Rileys warband , lead by the musket armed chaos sorcerer Hazmat Mutilatore.

 Our objective the mighty Tzeentch wizard Zapp Peckerhead.
Painted by the very talented Sonny Bundgaard.









Deployment from my side. We have some awesome terrain in our club called Rogue Trader . I will have to take some shots of the other gaming tables for you one day , we even have an entire mos eisley table!

 In my first round i used a spell called something i dont remember , but it basicly teleported my sorcerer and his unit 18'' in the direction i wanted. And what a suprise i landed right beside Peckerhead.










Advancing forces , notice rileys skaven sneaking around the ruin.

The big close combat clash , my cultists and beastmen clashing  Rileys thugs .
You can see a hint of his chaos dwarfs closing in on the side.

Meanwhile my forces were getting slaugthered by the hands of chaos dwarfs and thugs.

My Sorcerer Obediah Ruffhouse engaged in a a bloody fight against the flanking skaven. The 3 chaos slann were eventually killed along with the the 4 skaven and my Sorcerer managed to flee into the dusk with Zapp Peckerhead , landing him the victory.

It was an awesome game, especially when you implement a scenario. I didnt like the 4th ed magic we used some pretty OP magic bolts which killed of a good group of beastmen and chaos dwarfs, so didnt feel like making it a part of the battle report since it felt like cheap kills..

 I hope you enjoy , and I am sorry for any bad english and spelling errors.

RoC update

Quick update

Hello there , just a small update for the chaos warband from the first post.
An old chaos warrior and a runequest broo. I really love these preslotta models. I think they are far more fun to paint than newer sculpts. And there is something magical in glueing the preslotta base onto a plastic base, that i cant explain.

I wanted them to fit the rest of the warband, so they were kept really simple and in a limited pallete.
And it was the first time i tried painting coloured armour instead of the usual metallics.

Over and out.
