Revisiting Warmaster - Spring Clean 2024
Chaos Warriors
Having finished up most of the lighter units, I’ve mainly got the heavily armoured units left – the Chaos Warriors and Knights, plus some chariots.
I was a bit worried that my chosen colour scheme might not work very effectively on the armoured guys – there’s a lot of metal plate that if I lean too hard into the blue/yellow might end up looking too much like heraldic knights, but I also don’t want too much plain metallics, as its just a bit boring.
I grabbed one of the Chaos Warrior units to paint up and see how things went. First step was a little repair work to give one chap a replacement sword blade. The original had snapped off just above the hilt at some stage and was no where to be found, so I greenstuffed a new blade. A bit rough and ready, but not noticeable when painted up.
I carried on with my established paint scheme, and was pretty happy with the end result. I think leaving the metals at the wash stage with no highlight helps with the overall darker and grimmer look of the models.
