some daemons

As you can see, the daemons have arrived from the warp and are trying to gain supremecy of the entire  Kitchen Sector of the Old World. The Empire are nowhere to be seen, nothing  can stand in their way, other than a large frying pan and a couple of George's milk bottles.

The flamers were finished some time ago - not sure when, but certainly within living memory. There are 6 of the blighters in total and they were quite good fun to paint as they required quite a bit of blending / layering which I am quite fond of doing.

The nurgle dudes have just been finished off and as you know, I followed the GW recipe. I think they look sweet. Quite disapointing in a way, as there is very little to doing them other than dry brushing.
There are a completed unit of Khorne dogs and a huge unit of Khorne dudes in the front line for the kitchen too. Unfortunately, the photos of these units showed how quickly I had dashed off the painting - especially the dogs. I do have another unit of these to paint one day, and when that day comes I promise to do a better job!

Nurgle, Nurgle, All Hail tiny Nurgle...



Painting on holiday means just one thing, Warmaster! This time it's the turn of some Chaos Daemons that I bought with the intention of using as quick-to-paint stand ins for Chaos Marauders in my Mortal Chaos army. It turns out that they are quick to do, though I'm not sure my scheme quite does the miniatures justice as they're really nice sculpts with lots of fun detail, much of which I've largely ignored. Anyway, here's the test strip lurking amongst a pile of dead beetles that I found in the garden today.

Purely for my own reference, the speed-paint scheme went like this:

1. Spray Chaos Black
2. Paint everything Coat d'arms Olive with a massive brush
3. Sword Chainmail
4. Red bits Blood Red
5. Horn Kommando Khaki
6. Base Graveyard Earth
7. Wash everything Devlan Mud
8. Wash swords Ogryn Flesh
9. Highlight horn Kommando Khaki then Bleached Bone
10. Highlight flesh Olive + Camo Green
11. Eyes white
12. Boils etc Rotting flesh

Really quick and, I think, pretty effective. Some of GW's very bright static grass should bring them out a little more, I'll post pics of the unit once they're based to see how this works out.
