Hiya,
These are some pictures of my chaos team called "Chilly Khorne Carnage". (no not origional but i like it)
what do you think?
   
 
 
 
The squigs are used for re-roll counters and score markers and the guy with the chainsaw hands if the apothecary (still a work in progres)
I went for a smoother more subtle shading and highlighting. (I realy dislike it when people think that a line of black, then i line of red then a line of yellow is shading a highlighing.)
what do you think?
-Chris
P.s. the wrightin on the base of the ogre is "I'll take pleshu in gittun' you boy" |

OK, they're starting to roll out.. but they are HUGE - very high resolution -
Ponk, please see if you can resize and half the resolution; it will still be fine for posting here.
BTW, they look awesome! |

Great looking team, but the pictures do take an age to load due to their resolution and file size. Nice twist on a traditional colour choice - (Red, Black, Gold and in this instance White). Excellent shading and detail work. Let us know how they fare on the field,

Well someone disabled the web server without telling me but I could still access the file over the network. the server is now back up and every thing should be fine.
As for how they fare on the field. not to good. I play to the odds and only roll skulls and ones while my opponents decide to make 7 3+ rolls with the one player in a row without any possible re-rolls and don't fail one. though my starting line up is a bit unorthadox with 1 0rge, 3 CWs, 7 BMs, 1RR, 4 FF and 1 Apoth. (I always start with an apoth as for 50k he could save me at least 60k if not 120k)
As for the size I'll see what I can do but are they really much larger than others on here? and the slow down load speed is due to the fact they are hosted on my house network router/web server.
The colour scheme I wish I could take credit for but I can't as it was origionaly my friends team that I was helping him to paint (he only painted one (the second CW on the left in the team shot)) and I hade to keep the same colours. but I like it so much that nearly any team/army that I pant from now on will have the same scheme (plus it means I can use the Ogre in any team, not that many can have them any more)
thanks for the praise
- Chris
P.s. I am now starting to paint a shadowforge nun team would you like me to post a tutorail/step by step so you can learn (nearly) all my trick and cheats? feel free to say no I won't be offended. |

LOL, I've been waiting for five minutes and there are 3 pics uploaded already - please shrink them
Anyway, the colour scheme rules! This must be the first time I've seen Khornates in white and it looks bloody cool! |

| Looks awesome man. I'm stuck in the stigma of always painting my Chaos stuff in dark colours and its really good to see them in white like yours. Makes them stand out and makes them original. |

Thank you all very much your your comments. Unfortunatly the resizeing of the pictures will have to wait untill early in the week.
As to Grasshopper's question I varnished them all with copius amounts of Citadel Clear Varnish and they are still constantly chipping epecialy on the beastmen where they get picked up. and the Eddie avitar is from the Iron maiden website.
When I finnish the apothecary I hop he will look like he was origionaly human.
one interesting "problem" with using white for the team was that the Chaos Allstars number transfers are yellow for going on black so I had to use the orcs black nunbers. not much of a problem I must must admit.
