The Troopers

I have over 40 of the new chaos warriors painted and about 50 of the old hunchback ones too. Here is how I usually arm them. With a good old hand weapon and shield. They then become the terminators of the Old World. My basic armor paint job involves just the Foundation Red along with the OOP Chestnut Ink. When I found out they were going to discontinue Chestnut Ink I immediately ran out and bought up the last bottles around here.


I also converted up a unit of 13 Chosen using the lances from two Chaos Knight boxes. For the command I used the metal Chosen command.


Now all good troopers need to fight over something. I picked up the Throne of Skulls, which looks just fantastic. Four of the large skulls need to be attached and the two still standing obelisks. I painted it up fairly quickly with some drybrushing. I mistakenly used Brass instead of Bronze to paint so the drybrush was harsher than I wanted, but it still works. I then painted the details and added some extra flock and static grass to some areas.


Game wise this is great for 40K, for Fantasy I think it works better as a large building than as a hill.
