It's a great feeling when that happens. At this rate, you should be out of your lead pile in 2150. Great wizard BTW. Mordheim?

Yes, it's the Mordheim warlock. After finishing this one, I'm regretting not having bought a few more Mordheim minis...

Funny you mention it but it's true.

Actually, If I managed to keep my current rythm and not buy a single mini (yeah, right...) I'd maybe be able to get out of the lead (and plastics) pile sometime around 2030. Need eternal life and youth potion, kthxbai.

A couple of (not-BB) minis from Hasslefree that I painted a couple of years ago:

Has it really been all this time since my last post...?!

Took awhile but I finally got around to photographing my Chaos Pact team, the Mandelbrot Marauders. Painted between 2009 and early 2011, the Mandelbrot Marauders were my de facto second team and I'm still quite happy with the end result.

As, back then (like now, to be honest), there were no "official" GW Chaos Pact miniatures, I ended up creating the team by mixing and matching pieces from the GW/Citadel online catalog (these being the days in which one could still buy Specialist Games stuff) and, in the end, the shopping list was:
- one box of Marauders
- one DE BB blitzer
- one Skaven blitzer + one Skaven star player (ended up using the later)
- one River Troll (the Chaos Troll sucked, imho)
- one Chaos Ogre
- one BB Minotaur
- one Chaos Spawn (for bits & bobs for mutations)
- one Nurgle Sorcerer
- one Tzeentch Sorcerer
Stuff I had in the shelf:
- 5 Pink + Blue Horrors
- 1 Slaanesh daemonette
- 1 Bloodletter
- various bits & bobs from other plastic sets (goblin, etc)
Throw everything in a blender, put in the oven, nuke it and a Chaos Pact team comes out.

Group shot:

To be replaced by a better one as soon as I have the chance

Coaching staff:


The Renegades:

Elf is #2, Goblin is #4 and the Skaven is, naturally, #13

The Marauders:


Marauders 6 to 9 and 11 are aligned with the respective number's Chaos God (Slaanesh, Nurgle, Khorne and Malal) and wear the patron god's colours. The others are unaligned and have a variety of mutations (Big Hand, Claws, Extra Arms)

The Big Guys:


Team Markers & Re-Roll Counters:



Coming next:
- Lightning Vixens wood elf team (photos already taken)
- Star Players

Seems I'm a roll so please allow me to introduce the Lightning Vixens. All models, except where otherwise noted, are from Greebo (and also available from Rolljordan, it seems) and were painted between 2011 and late 2012.

Could we see the scale of those wood elf ladies next to some standard gw blood bowlers? Like the plastics if you have them,...or even a run of the mill space marine

also love the slick black and red paint scheme

[txapo]

Left to right: GW Wight, Otherworld Skeleton, Willy Amazon, Greebo Wood Elf, Willy Vampire Thrall

If asked I'd say most are smaller than the average miniature but a couple (the throwers) are taller.

great ladies!ª!

Heh, thanks!

[Rayphoton]

Thanks....i have a set of the alyon elves and they seem super tiny. I was wondering if the wood elves were the same. They seem pretty good scale though
