Chaos sorcerer of Slaanesh

After recently dealing with the Slaanesh chariot, I decided to dig up another oldie from the collection — this time, a chariot carrying a Chaos Sorcerer! That means the army gets another 310 points ready for action.

I'm really glad I found a good use for this old Sorcerer miniature. I love models from that era of Warhammer, but honestly, this particular one is a real pain to fit between regular Chaos Warriors. On the other hand, it works perfectly as a chariot crew replacement!

As for the painting — I stuck to the same color scheme as before.
At first, I had the idea to make it much more "aggressive": using charging horses and splattering them with a bucket of blood, as if they just hit an enemy.
Unfortunately, I found only a tiny bit of Tamiya Clear Red left in the jar — so what you see is the best blood effect I could get.

Regarding the face, I didn't have a clear plan at first. The initial thought was to paint it either black or metallic (kind of a skull-shaped helmet), but since there were already so many metallic elements, I wanted something more striking.
I aimed for a "jade burial/ritual mask" look — after all, Chaos absorbs everything it touches!
From a distance, it looks cool enough, so it stays.

For practical reasons, I didn't glue the Sorcerer permanently to the chariot. Instead, I pinned him solidly — this way I can field him on foot if needed (for example, if I tweak the army list or the chariot gets destroyed). Hope Slaanesh appreciates this humble effort!

And here’s a quick scale shot:
The Chaos Sorcerer is about to brutalize an Ogre Mercenaries unit. As you can see, the base I used for the chariot is slightly larger than the original (10 × 8 cm), but thanks to that, the whole model looks much better — you can add lots of little details to make it tell a story.

Take care!
