I'm sure there are many mini painters who have had those weird hobby sessions where you pick out a couple of figures at random and the mojo just settles in, and before you know it they are gazing back at you, done in no time at all. I had that experience with these two fellas this weekend and thought I'd post them together as they seem to fall into a similar theme.
Here are two Chaos Warriors from Knucklebones Miniatures.
I always really enjoy the wonderful textures and character that the sculptor puts into his figures. Of course the standouts for these two are the shields. I look at them and imagine that the warriors themselves are mindless constructs, and rather it is the shields which provide the sentient force of will. Yeeash! Creepy AF.
They were a fun pair to work on and they will be fine additions to the Nasty Lads collection for Warhammer Fantasy and Forbidden Psalm.
Thanks for dropping by and have a great week!

I can see why you'd easily lose yourself in those two miniatures, Curt. I especially like the one with the skull-faced helmet as it reminds me of the brute Sean Connery's King Agamemnon fought in "Time Bandits". Excellent paint-jobs on both though.
ReplyDeleteYes! I remember that now from 'Time Bandits' - great film. Thanks for dropping in and leaving a comment - much appreciated.
DeleteSplendid work! Love the colours and the brush work.
ReplyDeleteCheers Rob!
Deleteoh wow dude...as you say, creepy AF. For me they seem to also capture more of a flavour from GW's classic "Old World", when the Chaos types were more uniquely disturbing and less of a "oooh me big with skullz and blood" sort of mono-look.
ReplyDeleteI know, right?! I loved those early 'Old World' Chaos Warrior models - they were so Blanchesque in theme and (imo) seemed 'right' for the setting.
DeletePhenomenal work on these two gents!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill!
