Warmaster Chaos Army, Planning (or not)

They are small! Everyone who knows anything about army painting says that planning your process is just as important as painting.

Chaos Warriors

This sounds like sage advise, and I promptly ignored it. I was too excited and just jumped in. This exhaustive lack of planning gets you results that look like this. Not too hot, but possibly passable.

Although the results are far from spectacular, I've decided to document the process, so that I can reflect on it at a later date. 

1. Rhinox Hide (base all the weapons, skin and armor)
2. Ceramite White (base the shield, cloak, and fur)
3. Contrast Blood Angels Red (cloak and shield)
4. Silver Metallic (weapons, helmets, body panels, shield trim)
5. Rhinox Hide and Ceramite White (an odd de-saturated skin tone)
6. Paynes Gray (oil wash and clean)

 

Steps 1 and 2

Step 3

 

Step 3

I used some shitty brushes, this was also a fail. Basically you kinda need to base with a good brush, the details are too small. The red is maybe too bright, but when viewed from table height is shows up pretty well.

Step 4 and 5

 

Also the fur, I think I won. I'm very pleased with that oil wash. Here is the combined result. 

Which is totally acceptable at table top distances. The red looks good and the pokey bits are shiny, and the wolf fur looks nice.

Charge! All in it's about 20 min for each strip. I'll use this cowboy method for the remainder of the warriors. In batch it should be much faster. Also, it's probably best to combine them and do some final touch ups on the front of the front rank and the back of the back rank, the rest is not really visible.

Just need a pale sand colored base.

So there you have it. 

Winning without planning,
