More Chaos Warriors

Since my last post of Chaos Warriors I've painted 3 more of them.

So now there are 4 and I also prepared the base (with magnets).

Painted : 87 / 150

MOM Miniatures Review ( part 2 )

I managed to find the time to paint one of the Dwarf Warriors from MOM Miniatures.

I used my usual color-scheme for my Dwarf army with some changes.

Silver and gold for the armor with red for the handle and cloth. Brown for the back (wood ) of the shield. And a ginger-brown for his beard.

I managed to paint him up in a couple of hours. They are really fun to paint and I'm looking forward to begin the rest of the group. ( But first I will resume my current project on my paint table : 7 Chaos Warriors ) And I have no doubt in my mind that I'm going to finish this group of Dwarf Warriors in a record time for me. And there is a special space in the bases for magnets. I only had the 3mm but they are strong enough for these mini's.

So 11 / 10 ( for me ) for painting and time spent / miniature (+1 for the magnet space) !

So now you see how they look and I think when you see the whole group finished, that will be an awesome view !

But see it for yourself at MOM Miniatures !

MOM Miniatures Review ( part 1 )

Only 7 days ago I ordered miniatures from MOM Miniatures ( a Spanish company ).

My order was 20 Dwarf Warriors and 2 x 10 extra shields ( for conversions of other Dwarfs ).

Here is a little review of their Dwarf Warriors.

But first I have to tell that I got these miniatures within 5 days after purchasing ! That's a very fast delivery ! Something other companies ( their names will not be told at this point ) should take notice of !

So that's 10 / 10 for shipping !

But with no further interruption. Here they are :

20 Dwarf Warriors from MOM Miniatures :

When I opened the bags, I was pleasantly surprised to count 21 Dwarf Warrior , 22 shields and 25 Weapons to choose from.

So 11 / 10 for the extra's !

And now lets talk prices. I paid 20 euros for 20 Dwarf warriors, 3 euro for 1 package of 10 extra shields. That's only 1 euro / miniature. Which company can offer that? I tell you NONE !

So 10 / 10 for pricing !

I immediately cleaned one Dwarf for testing them. I cut away the surplus and scraped it a bit with my hobby knife. Then I cleaned it further with my toothbrush for a minute and it was ready ! No nasty mold lines !

So 10 / 10 for cleaning the miniature and Quality !

And now it is ready to get painted.

I primed it white.

See the finished result in the second half of the review !

And for now their are already 4 huge reasons to give this company a chance !

They also have other races like Elves , Chaos and more ...

See it yourself at MOM Miniatures !

A new army has risen ... CHAOS !

Yesterday I started and finished a test-model for the Chaos warriors.

These miniatures are 1 of the oldest boxes that I have.

I've painted them before ( like 8 years ago, in the very beginning ) but I wasn't happy with the result and they got forgotten.

So now in my moment of Chaos I started this army once again !

I kept this figure quite dark. As I feel they need this and gives them their power.
This will become a group of 16 warriors. Next up are 7 more of these, then half will be finished.

Here is another picture but from 8 years ago of the old ones.

I had 2 color-schemes back then and didn't like any of them. ( And an old High elf Silverhelm )
