Eric's beautiful lizardmen pics inspired me to take out the camera this morning and document some more of the progress on my own army for the summer campaign.
I posted up Oozedrool the Vile a couple months back, and since then had finished my battle standard bearer, Furghus the Debauched, who some of you saw in action at Hobbytown a month back. I still have to finish the base and do the symbols on the banners, but here he is in his current state.
Furghus was kit-bashed from a ton of different GW bitz. He's an old school Slaanesh champ riding on the chassis of the original Dark Elf caudron of blood. The girls are slave girls from the Dark Eldar special character (can't remember his name) kit. I used torches from the corpse cart kit and some skulls I believe from the dark elf warriors kit to decorate it. Banners are, I think, a modified empire one (rear) and a chaos marauder horseman one (front). The rear banner is topped with a demon head bit from the 40K defiler kit. The fiend of slaanesh is wearing the collar from the warhammer giant kit. The chains and hooks were chains and wire from the craft store.
My most recent finished project were the three units of chaos hounds that I just finished this week, although I still have to do the bases. They occupied me over a course of a few weeks, painting a couple nights a week for maybe an hour or two a night.
I had wanted to pose them on something light since they're fairly dark colored, so for a bit of panache I set them up on the Forsaken Vale map in progress.
I'm trying to remember what colors I was using. For the greys, I started with shadow grey mixed with black and gave it two additional lighter highlight coats, I believe. Same with the browns but I used scorched brown with vermin brown mixed in.
For the longer furred areas I used shadow gray with a lighter highlight, and then vermin fur/scorched brown with a lighter highlight on the browns.
Right now I'm working on my fifteen marauder horsemen, which I started painting last night. I got their flesh done (four successively lighter coats worth) and since Mrs. Carnivean is visiting family this weekend, I'm hoping to spend the day knocking the marauders off.
