Finally
the “shipment” of 300 metal skulls arrived, and I where able to finish building
the unit of 50 Chaos Marauders. Next up – summer vacation!
After
suggestion from Birk, I decided to ad various extra bits to each model in order
to create a unified “mob” but “individual models”, mainly cloth, furs and
shields. I also built a couple with axe (hand weapon and shield) so I can put
them in the front rank using the unit as a “hand weapon and shield” unit.
Shields placed on the shoulders, side or rear of the models also gives me the
option to “field them” with some extra protection if I decide to do so.
The
skulls had to be filed and cut. Being in metal this was a tiresome job, but I
hope they will add narrative to my army (seeing them as walking south from the
skull and bone covered plains in the north).
When
returning from holiday I have to adjust my Dark Eldar and Space Marine army to
the new 6th edition 40K rules book (this can be seen at the team
Stormbolter Blogg in late august, link below on this blogg), hence I will probably
continue the work with the Chaos army late September.
Wishing
you all an enjoyable summer!
Impressing. I'm quite sure that the result will be outstanding.
