Hello Everyone! I've been waiting, collecting, recruiting, converting, bidding on ebay, kitbashing, and biding my time....but now Im ready to show off a little bit of what Im working on. Previously Ive shown off my Bretonnia and undivided Warriors of Chaos armies, this project though is probably the most ambitious Ive ever had. Kind of inspired by Total War Warhammer 3, I wanted to make a Legions of Chaos army. But.....in the end I couldnt decide what LoC army to make, one devoted to Slaanesh? How about Khorne? Nurgle? Tzeentch could be fun. So I decided....why not make four 2500 point armies of each! Thats right, 10,000 points, 313 models, 1 year to get this project done (ok, thats a stretch but lets give it a go). Afterwards I will pit them against each other round robin style in a series of battle reports. If it doesnt lose steam Ill throw in my undivided warriors of chaos army, beastmen army, and maybe a surprise guest or two into the mix. All the models are bought, all have been assembled/converted/kitbashed. Now Im busying priming and painting. Heres a little preview....

Great project TileaG, I’ll be keenly following this one!
You are going to put me to shame though if you get it done remotely that fast. Broadly similar to my plan for a chaos incursion army except yours is achievable and mine is ludicrously ambitious (if I say I’ll be done in 10 years that’d be optimistic…) As much due to my slow painting rate as the number of models.
Where is the N’Kari/Keeper sculpt from, don’t think I’ve seen that before?

This was the first of the four I bought and now looking at this picture kind of wished I asked to make to print it larger, but its a very nice model.

Goes off to check Etsy excitedly Found it! It’s already in my favourites, d’oh To be fair I have got like 289 items in my Etsy favourites (all minis, mostly chaos) Elfhead3d are only selling it in that one size, looks like a good size match for the old metal KoS assuming that is a 50mm square base it’s on? But clearly dwarfed by the current stuff.

Currently basecoating my Slaanesh portion of this army and painting up some Slaanesh Chaos Marauders. A little more about this project. I will be using 8th edition (obviously) rules but the Warhammer Armies Project 9th Edition army books. Kinda wonky but I find that it can work. So some ground rules on the four armies Each will be lead by a greater daemon of Chaos 20 Chaos Warriors 25 Chaos Marauders 5 Chaos Knights *20 Daemons (except Tzeentch, which will have a bunch of random tzeentch things because CHANGE) I also have Sigvald, Vilich, Festus, and Valkyia and a few spare heros if I ever want to change it out and have those lead the armies. Another little preview as I paint my Marauders. Here are the Slaanesh Knights with the Slaanesh Chaos Warriors in the background.

Looking good TileaG. Have you got any more shots of the knights? Those are the chaos steeds from the recently replaced knight kit I think but are those twin soul/painbringer bits on the riders?
I’m also intending to have warriors and marauders themed for each god (among other units). I’ll be interested to see if you’ve come up with the same solutions I have and have planned. And copying any of your ideas that are better than mine for units I’ve not done yet ;-)

The slaanesh ones are indeed the former plastic knight horses with bits from the painbringers, a head from a dark eldar kit (I think), a head from an etsy buy,a head from a converted chaos warrior kit, and bits from all over

I always like seeing these kind of threads. It makes me fantasize about actually deploying my miniatures against those other users paint/build.
too bad in reality I don't even get to play, like at all.
Anyways, great job, the disk riders are looking really cool.
