Dirk Slammet´s Distributors of Pleasure and Pain

 Finished the last of the ten Battle Master chaos thug archers to complete this unit of Slaanesh followers. As mentioned before the monopose thugs are quite terrible sculpts. Especially the facial mould is bad. The eyes are not at same level and the is no mouth to speak of. But they work well enough in a unit and looked upon from a few feet distance.

There are all together twelve thugs in this unit. One is hidden behind that banner.

Let´s see. Eleven thugs including a standard bearer. Each armed with long bows.

Plus a chaos marauder as a unit leader with light armor and long bow. 

That makes 132 points for thugs and 40 points for the leader.

Or 172 points for the whole unit.

Does size matter?

My opinion is that it sure does. If we´re speaking about Oldhammer chaos banners I mean. Chaos banners are supposed to be BIG.

To go with the chaos thug archers of the previous post I´ve put together a small command section of two models: a champion and a standard bearer. The champion was painted a couple of months back when I was thinking about making a unit out of old metal thugs. Well with brexit making it increasingly expensive to get Oldhammer models I buried that idea and settled with monopose archers for rank and file plus metals for command.

Banner bearer is a converted metal chaos thug. Revoved his mace and replaced it with the banner pole. The picture I used for the banner can be found by Googling: arrow in a**. So it´s a simple crop, print and paint on type of job. And if you wonder where that slogan comes from you ought to listen this: Harvester of Sorrow.

Hope you enjoyed. Now to finish those last four monoposes.

It´s been a looong time

 Oh my! Nine months since the last update. That´s terrible and I feel a bit ashamed. But I really haven´t had motivation to paint anything and because of that no reason to blog. There was also a lot happening during 2021 (I wrote a book and got on retirement just to begin with) and hobby activities were put on semi permanent pause.

Now with more time on hand because of my retirement I´m once again trying to activate myself. For that purpose I chose some of  my uglies models -  a group of Battle Masters Chaos thug archers. So if they turned out terrible I wouldn´t be too sad about it.

Here are the first six of them. Very simple paint job on very simple minis. Pastel purple armor pieces, black leather, browns for bow and finally pink hair. Old school Slaaneshian style.

Will paint another four of these and add a leader and a standard bearer to get a unit of twelve. That Marauder chaos thug standard bearer seems to be pretty rare and expensive so I might just do a little conversion myself.

Anyway, it´s good to be back. I hope this new energy doesn´t fade off.
