Hello friends,
I figured I may as well get this started. I know I will be lucky if I can get much done during this busy month.
Tiberius: Night Goblins, stretch goal - Chaos Marauders
industrialtrousers: Grimgor, Immortals, effigy
empireaddict: brigade of Chaos chariot proxies
Ole: Daemon Hounds
dry_erase: Tzeentch knights
-
Grimgor, Immortals, effigy.
-
Brigade of Chaos chariot proxies. No stretch goal because it is Xmas!
-
A Unit of Daemon hounds!

Tzeentch Knights
I'm back in the saddle for December after a distracted November, because I had a moment of inspiration.
I really like industrialtrousers' Nurgle army for two reasons. First, the modelling is excellent. Secondly, it looks like a proper Chaos army... there's very little regimentation, troops vary in size and mutation and there's a sense of a cavalcade of chaotic lunatics charging across the battlefield.
I've always wanted a Tzeentch army, so I've decided to take a leaf out of industrialtrousers' book, add a pinch of Hieronymus Bosch and convert a unit of chaos knights model by model. The only rules - all models converted from stuff I already have and no two models alike.
Some work in progress:

Excellent. Tzeentch gives you even more license. Loving these.
-
Yikes, that is terrifying!
-
@dry_erase, that's bonkers but also brilliant!
-
The hand horse is the best.

Thanks - there are now some more, slightly odder, mounts almost done. The half-chimp, half-snake is a current favourite... some WIP photos of the first 7:

I'm tempted to make a chaos spawn based entirely on rolling D6+6 attributes from Realms of Chaos:Slaves to Darkness and then modelling exactly what comes up. Should be an interesting challenge!
-
Here are the rest - I've modelled too many for a single unit, but I'll start with just 12 for December.
Sorceror and familiar

Now! Painting - I'm colourblind, so would appreciate any suggestions here. I'm thinking that the armour needs to be consistent, so dark blue, yellow and perhaps a little purple. Cloaks all white to contrast and metals a mix of gold and iron. Then all the weird mounts will be different colours to make them suitably chaotic, but with an emphasis on reds, greens, oranges and browns so that they don't get too mixed up with the knights themselves.

[ENTRY] Stormwind
Dark Elves, varnished and with some snow added to the base.
EDIT: Ha ha, I finished them!
Two High Elf spearmen units!
-
Lovely. I think I'm going to have to redo what I've done. And then I still won't even get close....
-
Bugged it. I just don't have the patience or talent. Nice to have a goal though.
-
They looked just fine to me! Nice work! Plus you actually did something, I'm really doubting I will even come close to finishing this month, so much else to do...
-
[ENTRY] Four units of Slaanesh chariot proxies. WHFB Screamers, chariots made from plastic flags used on marker pins, WM Chaos characters; two with with pins added as spears. Blank single bases to get three stands.
-
Oh wow! Great idea, well executed.
-
Thanks. Probably the strangest unit I've modelled so far!
-
STOP PRESS!
Finished two HE spearmen units!
Added them to my entry on the previous page.
-
I hope I#m not to late to the party! Not finished but close to.

I'll put up the poll soon, but I'll give dry_erase another day or two if he wants to show us any of his craziness painted up. (I gave up myself, but maybe next month)

That is that Stone thing? Did you made it yourself or did you purchase it somewhere?

It's a pretty crappy photo but it is the heads of mork and gork totem rock that looks better in person. I made it out of super sculpey which is worth a go if you've never had a go with it. Just need to work it until it softens then it's easy to use. I sculpted a few skeletons and a pile of skulls around the back. New offering are from Kalistras Impaled, in historical section.
You must have a fantastic looking nurgle outfit now Ole.

Thanks, but Christmas got the better of me. I've managed to get quite a lot of paint on them, so hopefully I can finish the whole unit by the end of January.
Some great stuff again this month!

The poll is up!

Dry erase I must admit I am impressed with your chaos army... it seems they came out from a 1980 Jhon Blanche's early citadel art... and that is really cool !
