Winds of Chaos - Completed Sorcerer

With the new Chaos codex rumours putting that release sometime in the foreseeable future, I cannot see me doing much more work on my Slaaneshi/Emperors Children force before the end of the year.

I have, however, finished the one HQ unit for the current codex that I have never used. The Chaos Sorcerer with force staff and plasma pistol. Currently I am considering running him with a familiar, mark of Slaanesh, Winds of Chaos and Lash of Submission. Should be entertaining if nothing else.

Anyway, the pictures seem to have come out darkly once again so I may have to invest in some extra lighting to brighten the place up a bit. I swear it seems brighter than the sun when I am in the process of taking the photos. One day I will sit down and learn how to do this photography thing decently.


Here are the rest of the pictures for you all to see:

That is all for now, but I'll be back in the next few days with updates on some Space Wolf Terminators I am working on. Thanks for looking!

Chaos Sorcerer - Progress Update

As a quick break from painting the remainder of my Space Wolves, I decided to get stuck into one of the HQ choices from the Chaos Codex - the Chaos Sorcerer.

The Sorcerer is the one with the Plasma Pistol and Force Staff and will be one of my HQ choices alongside the Daemon Prince, Lucius the Eternal, Fabius Bile and a Terminator Lord.

So, this work in progress up date is to show how far I have got with the Sorcerer and what is left to do.

Firstly the tabbard, gloves and back pack need highlighting with some pink (to fit in with the rest of the Slaaneshi theme of the army). The armour needs highlighting with a mix of Dwarf Flesh/Bleached Bone. I am thinking about painting eyes into various areas on this armour to mirror the Shrieking Souls armour that Lucius has.

The picture to the right shows the tabbard/gloves areas based with Gory Red (VGC), washed with Leviathan Purple, then painted on the raised areas with Blood Red.

The main armour areas and all bits that will end up as gold were painted with Scorched Brown. The armour areas painted Scorched Brown have been washed down with Agrax Earthshade.

Once dry, the red areas were highlighted with Rose Pink (VGC) and another light wash of Leviathan Purple was applied over the areas.

The armour sections were painted with Dwarf Flesh to pick them out better from the black of the armour before I get to highlight them as mentioned above.
