Chaos Renegade #11...you knew I couldn't stop...

Hi all,

I'm back with another Renegade for you...I guess this is the first one for the second squad.  I had thought to take a break after completing the last squad...but when inspiration struck I just had to paint another!

So here is the first heavy weapon trooper for Renegade Squad #2...this time armed with a Heavy Bolter...and looking totally Bad ass doing so.

When I showed a WIP photo of this guy with Captain Crooks he reminded me that the color scheme closely resembled the national colors of Australia...So...Though it was inadvertent I would like to dedicate this one to my many good Oldhammer friends from down under...this includes the aforementioned Captain Crooks, G2, Delaney King, Glenn, and Fanai to name just a few.  For a country on the opposite of the globe from me, Australia sure has produced a lot of great Oldhammer friends.  :)

Cheers for now...Number 12 is already underway!

Chaos Renegade #10...the Squad is complete!!

Hi all,

I finally found some time to get paint on another Renegade...#10 this time and the last for my first squad.  Once again an often overlooked sculpt that didn't strike me as particularly impressive in the catalog shots...but turned out to amazingly fun to paint.

Here is the new guy with his completed squad!  Individual shots below.

Chaos Renegades...Line Art... Part 2

Hi all,

Painting time has been very scarce for the last week so I'm back with another post about the line art drawings of Chaos Renegades that are include in the Traitor legions army lists found in the back of RoC Slaves to Darkness. 

Last time we looked at a few of these drawings that had corresponding figures this time I would like to look at a few of the ones that don't...and few oddities that I have noticed.

One troop type that is included in these armies lists for which there are no corresponding miniatures are those showing Chaos Tech Marines.  As we all know these are essential troop types to support your heavy weapons and dreadnoughts etc...and yet no Chaos Tech Marine figures were ever produced during the RT era.  Lets look at what the art shows us...

Chaos Renegades...Line Art

Hi all,

No new figures for you today but a follow up to the last Renegade I posted...#9...and a discussion of the line art drawings used in the Realms of Chaos: Slaves to Darkness to represent Chaos Marines.

 As I have committed (perhaps foolishly) to the painting challenge over on the Herohammer International FaceBook group I have spent a lot of time looking at the army lists for Chaos Space Marines that are presented in the back of RoC: Slaves to Darkness.  This tome contains army lists for several of the famous space marine Chapters that went rogue during the Horus Heresy...and these army lists are illustrated with line art drawing that are very similiar to their fantasy counterparts in the Warhammer Armies book.  I really enjoy looking at these drawing and quickly realized that many of them are drawings of actual figures from the Renegades range.

Here are a few examples of the art work with their corresponding figures (there are many more examples of this)

Chaos Renegade #9

Hi all,

Quick post today to share Renegade #9 with you.  This was a fairly quick job but I think it turned out well and fits well with the rest of the squad.  I will have a follow on post on how I can up with this color scheme but as I have to take my kids to a museum even t right now I'm just going to get the photos up and talk about the process in a later post.

Here is Renegade #9 with the rest of his squad.  Solo pics below!

Enjoy!

Chaos Renegade # 8 Blurgle and Blubble

Hi all,

I'm in the midst of my field season at work and time has been tight for painting...but despite being exhausted most nights of the last two weeks I did mange to get one more Renegade done..

...And I'm particularly happy with this figure.

Once again I have deviated from the "normal" color associated with this Renegade...in this case a Nurgle Marine...but I hope you agree that sculpts of this quality can look good even in "unusual" colors.

For this Renegade I fell back on my traditional Blue recipe for the bulk of the armor (I never get tired of painting this blue)...but created a new (to me) yellow-orange for the edging.  I also resorted back to yellow helmet lens which ties him in nicely with the rest of the unit.

Speaking of which...here is the Unit to date...Individual pics below.
