Chosen chaos knights #1

Upcoming chaos army project just got boosted by ~200 points worth models. 

I really liked these knights when they were released (20 or so years ago...🙄) and recently I managed to get bit worn and not 100% complete unit of 4 chaos knights. It took some effort to get rid of paint and supeglue (previous owner prefered glue instead of pinning) but in the end I got the boys ready for painting.

It's Slaanesh army so decision was made to use "official" pink tone for armour. Besides such color should fit daemon prince general and already painted chaos spawns (fiends of Slaanesh) just fine. Every time I paint more then 1 or 2 models at the same time painting quality drops down so chaos knights were painted separately. This way every model could be painted slightly different and yet keeping pink coherency. The most red one was testing piece. It's more Khorne then Slaanesh actually, but it should look decent placed in the unit.





The final goal is to get 6-men strong unit (Slaanesh magic number). And mentioned above I got unit of 4 chaos knights. Sadly while washing paint off I put one of the horses to wrong jar and here's for I got 😁 Oh well, maybe one day it will be turned into Nurgle's mount...

The plan for now is getting complete chaos pony, getting 5th knight and converting chaos hero as 6th member of the unit. Basic idea is mounting Red Duke on steed of Slaanesh but parts for this conversion will be assembled after knights are done.


Cya!

  1. Painting one at a time is an impressive will power test. They certainly do look good. I imagine the benefits of chaos warriors is they are so expensive points wise you can lavish attention on each one individually.

    1. Cheers dude!

      As for painting one piece at a time is my biggest hobbyist-flaw I guess 😑 Because of this getting massive army painted ever is just beyond my reach.

  2. Great paintjob, definitely Slannesh without being garrish or completely neon.
