Nurgle Unit Filler, Warhammer Fantasy

     I'm trying to take my time to do the Nurgle Warriors of Chaos up right. Of all my other armies that I'm messing around with, they are the one that I know exactly what I want the end result to look like. From basing, to colors, to unit fillers, etc. - it's all in my head and it's only down to getting to the results. I got a good amount done on my Chaos Warriors today, but it was pretty much just mold line removal. I have a good amount of green stuff work ahead of me. I do have a picture update, however, as I completed the modelling for my Chaos Warrior unit filler:

Work in Progress - Nurgle unit filler 1

Warhammer Fantasy!

There's a Warhammer Fantasy campaign starting up in my local area at the start of the new year. I'm extremely excited for it. I have a few commissions to knock out so I can get started with a new army project ASAP. I have to admit that I'm a slut for beautiful models.

So I wanted to buy the least amount of models, and I wanted to play big, so I ended up with a 4 unit army. Is it good? No idea. But it's 2,500 points, and it looks gorgeous.

Mr. Prince and Dice.

These will be mine soon. I love Chessex. I love them so much. I highly recommend customized dice, as it just adds to the great experience of playing our chosen hobby.

But more importantly, I finished the work on my Chaos Nurgle Daemon Prince. I'm very happy with it, and can't wait to start painting tomorrow.

Warhammer Fantasy, too!?

I may have attended a tournament last Saturday on accident. A majority of the time at my FLGS (majority = practically always) there isn't a Warhammer Fantasy game being played, but when I stopped by to pick up a few things around noon there was a tournament going on! I ended up spending the entire day there talking to the guys playing , most of which I knew from other games that I played with them. Surprised that there was an actual playerbase (sorta), I talked about armies and rules and set out to put together my first army: Warriors of Chaos.

There was just enough stuff at the store to get started. I picked up two boxes of Chaos Warriors (making my total 31, as I had some left over from a plundered box I purchased long ago for a Space Wolf Wolf Guard unit), two boxes of Chaos Knights (probably more than I needed for my initial 1,500 army list), and a Chaos Giant. I have Lord and Heroes scattered around for tons of Swap Meets, and can put together any of those from my billion bits - so let's make a list!

Warriors of Chaos
Lord 
----
Chaos Sorcerer Lord, Level 3 Wizard, Mark of Nurgle
+Barded Chaos Steed, Tricksters Helm, Talisman of Preservation

Heroes 
------
Exalted Hero, Battle Standard Bearer, Mark of Nurgle

Core unit 
---------
Chaos Warriors x24, Mark of Nurgle, Shields
+ Aspiring Champion, Musician, Standard Bearer (Banner of Swiftness)

Core Unit
---------
Chaos Warhounds x5, Vanguard

Special Unit
------------
Chaos Knights x5, Mark of Nurgle, Ensorcelled Weapons
+ Doom Knight, Musician, and Standard Bearer

Rare Unit
---------
Chaos Giant, Giant of Nurgle

This leaves me with 28 points to invest a bit more in my Exalted Hero or add a Magic Banner to my Chaos Knights. Having never played the game, I hope it does alright. Tweaks will come about once I start actually playing the list, and get a feel for the "new" system. With enough models for stand-ins/proxies for models I don't have yet (Warhounds -coughcough-), I'm fishing around for a game. However, I'm fully aware of the lack of Warhammer Fantasy games at my FLGS, and have shopped around to other gaming stores within an hours drive to me so I can spend a day playing there.
