Chaos Lord complete

I won’t lie: this model nearly died in the assembly stage. I found the instructions quite obtuse and at one point had to pull the model apart and start again. Once I had stumbled through to the end, the gaps were more and worse than on any model I’ve done before.

After extensive greenstuff and a zenithal undercoat I got to work and produced this:

This Chaos Lord will be leading my Slaves to Darkness forces (leading in a thematic sense, as I have no plans to play Age of Sigmar).

I changed my mind after all those test models and decided on black armour, with purple and blue horns and cloaks.

The skin tone was not planned. I had intended on a brighter red, but when I opened the pot to use it, it had dried out! Good old GW pot design. So, I used the next nearest colour I had, and ended up benig happy with the result.

The cloak got its purple/blue tone, the sword got a flame effect, and the base was finished with some basing paint and Gamers Grass tufts. The rest of the force will be painted in a similar scheme, but I have to say my assembly experience has definitely dampened my enthusiasm to buy a second box after this one is complete.

Hobby Bingo update

With the lord complete I have ticked off the first of 5 character boxes on the card.
