Am really proud to show you my swarmy verminous army of Chaos Rat-men, The Great Horned Rat probably help me to finish this playable 3000pts army in five months (8th ed , 270 miniatures)

With the Andy army pics in head, I completed my first units with more miniatures (Poison Wind Globs, Gutters Runners, Slaves, Clan Rats, Jezzails) and I started news units like Plague Monks, Giant Rats, Master Moulder , Army Banner and Grey seer. I finally opt to add “moderns” engines to my horde, the dreadly Screaming Bell and the Warp Lightning Cannon.

A Full army pic was essential to restitute the Skaven mass effect . The Bell and many banners overhanging this dirty, rusty and brownish crowd …  All banners are draw, only two exceptions, those with The Great Horned Rat face… Why? Because, It is too hard to respect the proportions of this black Rat face… Not really enjoy by the pestilent rat face I choose to draw a classic clan rats Banner with two sculpted censers for monks unit.

A last word, this army consists only with old units and there is a gap in "units hammers" in comparison to the other armies of the 8th... If I participate to a tournament this year, I probably need to paint more Rat Ogres or Warp lightning cannon.  Skaven army is definitively the most "blob" army, stick the most powerful enemies units with slaves and flank with Rat Ogres... My best technic. Warplocks machines are not reliable, generaly they slayne my own troop but when they work it's a nightmare for my opponents. Skaven army is a good alternative for chaos player like me.

Kevin Adams and Paul Bonner are the pioneers  in the Space Orks design. Until early 90's a lot of their miniatures and drawings appeared in White Dwarf and  supplements for Rogue Trader. They're not the only artists who have worked on Orks but they' re the most prolific. Theirs works are complementary  and testify of an era where Orks have a less "Gorilla" aspect like today. My future Orks projects theirs ‘re dedicated.
 
I started to play to Space Marine in early 90’s and 6mm Orks are my first painted army. I probably played only 10 battles but every struggles were « The battle » a real event for the children who we were. I remember, we played with my partner in his garage… Cold but Very good memories.

A recent event let me replunge in 6mm range, and I decided the rebuild an Ork Horde in the Epic current system. Bad moonz and Evil Sunz are my favorits clans, I chosen to use round bases to obtain a « band effect » for boyz. I keep my current paint style : Black undercoat,  base coats, wash of Devlan Mud and two highlights. I take time to make nice bases and banners (Decals for smaller and drawings for Stompas/Gargants banners).

I recently meet a Citadel collector who like me enjoy to play old painting miniatures and draw dices on heavy charts, some e-mails to select a date to play and it is the beginning of my new Chaos Champion and his warband : Darn The Blacksmith of Gods. (Narrative campaign without confrontation on board game.)

By John Blanche.

 Let me tell you the saga of Darn… The quiet life of this blacksmiths rocked since the attack of his village at the borders of the empire. The Doom Riders struck the villagers as the hammer on the anvil… Many villagers died, the others were chained  and taken along through the snow-covered lands, their destination, black mines of Norsca.


Now, Darn forges weapons and armours for its dark masters, those all are encrusted with black stones with greenish reflects. These stones are extract from the mine and as time passes in contact with these stones, Darn notes that other slaves, his companions in misfortune change awfully. But  Darn is blessed by the gods of Chaos, his body is more resistant but its mind sinks gradually in a chaotic dementia.

Its destiny toggled once again when its Masters were attacked by an invisible enemy coming from the depths of the mines. The confusion of this nocturnal attack made it possible Darn to run away with his companions. They succeeded in seizing weapons and armors to be equipped. Darn has only one idea in mind, massacre its Dark Masters.

Darn : Humain profil with chaos armor
Darn Reward : Bestial head(Goat) and chaos armor
His acolytes: 11 Beastmen: (Dominant Attribute: 0)

                       _____________________________________
  

The tracking begins and leads Darn and his band more to North. They massacre without pity the runaways of the mines. The mutations become increasingly current but their corrupt minds don’t remarks them. Darn becomes naturally the leader of the group, his companions sense in him a capacity, a black force. They start to pray  gods of which they dont know their names but for which they are ready to pour blood. In reward, the divinities give to Darn  armors with dark and mysterious ornaments. 

Darn Reward : Armour of chaos (to a follower).                      

Followers Reward : Quadruped

Deads : 1 beastman    

                       _____________________________________
  

Darn finally found the last survivors from the mines, these Dark Masters taken into an  Orcs ambush. To their heads a dark wizard who had just time to chant some words against one follower of Darn who massacred it in return… Some minutes later the beastman transformed into slobbery spawn. Darn paid an homage to his gods and they rewarded him  by a weapon bewitched with the dark capacity.


Darn Reward : Magic weapon.     
Followers Reward : Spawn of Chaos, stupid & Fear irrational of the wizards.  

Additional follower :

1 Orc (Snorta)

                       _____________________________________
  

His wandering brings it him and warband to return towards the old world, wood are their new den. They tighten many ambushes there, Darn makes run blood with flood and its gods thank it by filling it for many times him and its disciples. Darn can now forgearmors by the prayer, his chaotic aura cross  the edges of woods and attracts new disciples.


Darn Rewards : Black skin, hoofs, Magic Object and armour of Chaos (To Snorta).          
Followers Reward : Atrophied extremity, Augment. Of carac., magic Weapon and limb transference.

Deads:  3 Beastmen and the spawn.

  
Additional followers :  

4 Dogs of Chaos. (Dominant Attributes: RM (1), Regeneration 6.)              
10 Thugs (Attribute dominating: 0)         

                        _____________________________________

  

The armors forged by Darn become objects of cult, they are venerated by these disciples who see in them the evidence of his any power. The reputation of Darn  grow, it becomes “the Blacksmiths of the Gods” Champion of the Great Chaos. Its appearance becomes insupportable, its integral armour is able to accompany his mutations and its malformations, the ornaments of its armour change at sight of eye and reflect the horrible corruption of the Champion.      

Darn Rewards :    Hideous appearance and Armour of chaos (To a thugs)                                    
Followers Reward :  Coward and Augment. Of carac.     

Deads : 1 beastmen and 2 Thugs.

Additional followers:  

9 beastmen (dominant Attributes: Frenzy and one-legged people.)

1 Ogre

I share with you a pic of minis I painted recently for my Chaos Warband and for my meeting with The French Scrib : Patatovich !! One of my enemy during the campaing.

Who's that men? An enthusiast collecter, painter, gamer AND writer... He place story and background before the rest of the hobby, like me he loves gameboard heavily decorated, play with big big charts and Obviously with full painted armies.
With his band they translated in French many old GW books like Slave to Darkness, Waaargh ! The Orks... He travel easily between the two worlds, always in search of texts to translate.

Here is one of my both Great-Gargants from Adeptus Titanicus range...  I love them because they have a rather distinctive general shape compared to current gargants. Their bodies are in resin and the rest in metal.

Today it is Gork head, Ripper fist and Snapper with Evil Sunz style... Next time it's Head of Mork head, Battle cannon and Gut Buster with Bad Moonz colors.


Gargants are build like idols, representions of the Orks gods. Their carcasses are decorated with flames and glyphs. To catch the eye of the gods, a banner of clan comes to throne at the summit of each of these metal giants.

Badmoonz Great Gargant, Yellow / black contrast always good recipe, green for Ork Idol aspect and finally red touches for the cohesion with the rest of my army.
I added some battle damages on the carcass to give a more "realistic" style...
