A fun "little" project after the orcs.

This started as a way to make me like the Stormcasters. I had 3 or 4 of those free minis that GW sometimes gifts around and I wanted an excuse to paint gold.

In the end a friend suggested to instead use those bits to make a small band of Thunder Warriors, an unit I never heard off.



A quick Google search and I liked the idea, so kitbash it was. 

The recipe is simple, mostly stormcast bodies, old and space marine arms, cadian heads, orc hair (except one guy who has a demonette scalp, because I finished the orc heads) and a bit of sculpting to blend it together, plus a big fluffy mantle. 


I received some comments on the wips, so here the answers. 


What colors did you used? 

Vallejo's gold, bronze and silver paints, agrax shade and Army Painter's speedpaints. 


The weapons/the insignia are not lore accurate. 

I don't care. That's what I had around. 


Why don't you used/sculpted goggles, as in Blanche's illustrations? 

I don't like the goggles. Too goofy for my taste. And I have no goggled heads. 


The weapon choice is sub-optimal for a kill team. 

Those are the bits I had.

After, I don't know, 5 years? I finally made the Malal's chaos warriors I wanted.

It's a very random collection of bits, but mostly from GW and Kings of War.

Super cool. The 2 tone grey is a great idea. Works well on them. Neat conversions as usual!

I tryed some new materials and techniques for this big boi, but I wanted something old style.

Last bunch of minis for this year.
This, as usual, began as an easy and quick project and in the end was longer than expected.
I tried a lot of new things for these gobbos. First of all, they are not green. The orange goblins are more a D&D thing, but I think it works. Also, I'm tired of painting greenskins.
They are mostly build from old skaven bodies, lizardfolk and goblin arms, various feathers and goblin heads and shields. The exception it's the more feral one that is made with a ghoul body and arms.
Some of them have 5 fingers, some 4. I don't care.
Now they need a leader and like 12 more gobbos.

Excellent giant what did the original toy look like?

"But me no buts! Our comrades get hurt. Our friends die. Falkenburg is a knight who swore an oath to serve the church and to defend the weak. He'd be the first to tell you to stop puling and start planning. Because what we are doing-at risk to ourselves-is what we have sworn to do. The West relies on us. It is a risk we take with pride. It is an oath we honour. Even when some soft southern burgher mutters about us, we know the reason he sleeps soft and comfortable, why his wife is able to complain about the price of cabbages as her most serious problem and why his children dare to throw dung and yell "Knot" when we pass. It's because we are what we are. For all our faults we stand for law and light.
