[Tale of Painters]Slanneshi HoC

[MrDee]

I have decided that for the local GW painting comp (25 models from one WHFB army) I will start a Slanneshi Hoards of Chaos army, was either that or Empire, end of the day though nipples won hands down over men in tights

This is the army list so far, is in its first edit so there will be a few revisions and I will no doubt add to it or totally change it once Daemons come out.

Heros

Exalted Champion
Additional Hand Weapon
Shield
Mark of Slannesh
Sword of Might
Armour of Damnation
Barded Chaos Steed

Sorcerer of Chaos
Level 2
Mark of Slannesh

Sorcerer of Chaos
Level 2

Core

Chosen Knights of Chaos
5 Kinghts
Mark of Slannesh
Full Command
Rapturous Banner

Chosen Warriors of Chaos
12 Warriors
Mark of Slannesh
Full Command

Marauders of Chaos
16 Marauders
Light Armour
Shields
Full Command

Special

Daemonettes
10 Daemonettes

Rare

Spawn of Chaos
2 Chaos Spawns
Fiend of Slannesh

So far i have half the following built - 50% Marauders, both Sorcerers, Exaulted Champion
and the following built and undercoated - 100% Chaos Warriors (work commences tomorrow)

Basing these has thrown up a minor dilema, was thinking of a lava type base, but then thought maybe a sort of ash waste/snow type get up, any thoughts on this?

Few piccies of whats in the pipeline

Champion - Really like this without sounding bigheaded, made it using the left overs from the Empire General boxset I brought from my Templars and some of the left overs from the Warriors and Marauders, really looking forward to painting him, going to be black barding with brass trim and then pink/purple tenticles from the bottom of each panel crawling up, not sure that really describes how it looks in my mind very well



Mark of Slannesh Sorcerer - Cack picture but to the naked eye this looks so sexy and just slannesh through and through...."rubs all 8 nipples"



Sorcerer - Didn't want to go too overboard with this guy as he has no mark of any god, maybe a newly tainted empire wizard? But I think he works, and he looks pretty sweet in the Marauders.



Anyway let the Slanneshi Pleasure Barge set sail :drinking:

Looks like this'll be fun.

Thanks mate. Don't worry as I have gone with a white fur theme will be doing a frozen waste land sort of base mate, and hopefully I can deliver.

Thanks for pointing that out the guys at the GW didn't even say anything about that.

Of course I am mate, need to get 25 models done in about 2 weeks for the painting comp, so most likely will get all the warriors and marauders possibly the characters.

Right heres today's progress





As you can see they are coming along nicely

A quick addition, just as I was putting my paints away decided to try out what I have planned for the helmets, and this is the result, I like it anyway

That's surprisingly cool. As long as you don't overdo it, it would look good echoed on the armor.

Beautiful, as ever. Great work.
