On my way for skulls, a path to glory chronicle

Hi ! As usual, Games Workshop and The Black Library offer some nice stuff around Christmas in The Advent calendar . And this year, I was really pleased to see some old rules adapted to the Age Of Sigmar : The Path To Glory (Still avaible here).

I can't renember exactly when, but I think the rules were published in some White Dwarf issues in the early 2000 (?) .

The original cover with Engra Deathsword, Butcher of Praag...

And the new one, less attractive, but the main one is in the content 

So... a new year... new rules... new reasons to cut, glue and paint some plastic... Well I'm in !

One other point, and not a small one, is the new GW "Lowcoast" boxes :

39 minis for 160€... instead of 220€ ... well done, good deal !

And the last point... what some friends began to do with the Chaos goodies showed in the excellent "The Convertorum" from my friend Johan... Both Jeff Vader (Nurgle), Nordic (Tzeentch), Alexander (Slaanesh) and of course KrautScientist (Khorne) started some awesome warbands ! Please treat yourself to Chaos and have a tour here or here to admire their creations. And don't forget to keep an eye on Tommy's excellent blog to see his impressive warband.

That said, I'll roll my dices... See ya.

A special featuring.... Mister Vader's warband

Hello!

I'm Jeff Vader and Legatho/Manu has kindly asked to present my chaos related warhammer stuff on this fabulous blog. I mostly focus on 40k but have recently done quite a few fantasy themed models. There's something that makes chaos more compelling in the fantasy setting - purer somehow. 

We start with my nurglii warband, led by the egregious champion Mawgut Gloop.

His lieutenant Skytho Spasmodius and standardbearer Fladdrus Flatulus. 

A heavily mutated chaos thug (or beastman - it's hard to tell) and two chaos gobbos who have sort of just tagged along.

When the winds of magic grow strong they're also joined by the daemon Poxgut. 

There's also a third chaos warrior in the works, plans for more beastmen and a big guy or two -perhaps a heavily converted minotaurs or chaos trolls. Or one of each. 

So that's the Nurgle part of my foray into the Realm of Chaos. 

But I've also started work on a rival tzeentchean warband. The only model done so far is the Champion Mandragore Warpfeather. 

I'm taking a lot of inspiration from Realm of Chaos: Lost and the Damned for these two projects. The idea is to create warbands with an oldschool feel but mainly built from the new plastics. 

Hope you all dig!

Cheers
