First up, marauders!


First up are 20 marauders (this'll be about 190ish points). I ordered some alternative models for this, basically because I dislike the Games Workshop maruaders, and frankly.. I don't really feel like sculpting  40 boobs. The models I ordered are Privateer Press' Tharn Bloodtrackers (http://privateerpress.com/files/products/72071_TharnBloodtrackersWEB.jpg ).  
They are smaller than GW's marauders, but this means there will be actual room left on the bases to do some cool stuff with!



Since I have to wait some time before these models arrive, I decided to start on my bases. I have used cork to create a sort of wasteland/rocky area. 


Just some rocks and grass

Later I added some withered grass and topped it all off with some snow (baking soda and wood glue).


Almost finished!


And for the final result!




Sorry for the crappy pictures, my camera stopped working and all I had to take pictures with was my smartphone >.<


More will follow as soon as I've picked up my bloodtrackers!

An introduction

Because apparently warhammer blogs are the next big thing, I decided to make one of my own. A couple of friends and I have started a 'painting campaign' of sorts. Every month, starting July 2012, we will buy/ paint about 200 points worth of models. This way we will be able to slowly gather together a properly painted army in a fun and motivating way and maybe, just maybe!, we might be able to score some actual painting points on the next Grand Tournament/Battle of the Clubs/whateverTheSaintswillthrowatus!


I decided to start up a warriors of chaos army, most likely Tzeentch or Slaanesh.. depending on what the new army book will give us in a few months. I have always been interested in the shenanigans of the good ol' Chaos Gods, but never got round to actually starting an army with them.  I had been looking for a while for a good theme/concept for Warriors of Chaos, and after watching all Buffy the Vampire Slayer episodes yet again, I decided I quite like kick-ass women! So this will be the main theme in my army, I am going to try and build a complete army with just female models (either models from alternative games, or converted from excisting Games Workshop models) who will crush their enemies beneath their stylish, yet affordable, boots!
