I don’t get much time to paint this time of year, but I have managed to “quickly” paint a Chaos Lord up for a friend’s birthday. I say quick, I am that busy at the moment this took me about a month.
I have actually painted this miniature once before, and I decided to mix it up a little bit, and changed the colour scheme a smidge.
Leader of my Cypher Lords complete. Well, kind of. I tried something new with the purple gems to speed it up and it hasn’t worked. So will return to those at a later date. Otherwise happy with him.
The first three of my Cypher Lords are complete. These are for an upcoming campaign, so getting through them as fast as possible. I have until November to get them complete!
I have finished my first Knight Desecrator. Coming up for my own scheme and Knightly house hold has been really fun, and if you have been tempted by one of these kits I strongly recommend getting one. They are really good fun!

As fun as this mini has been, I had to rush it a little towards the end. I am not happy with the skull on his Ion Shield, and the base is just a very perfunctory effort. When I get chance I plan on revisiting these areas. But I have learnt a lot, and generally speaking I am happy with him.
Well, the majority of the body work and base painting is done. I am now up to the transfers/heraldry stage. I am currently jotting down sketches for the house emblem, and looking for general inspiration!
Even though I have got a lot of this guy done now, I still need to paint the top panels properly, and then I need to do the shoulder pads. I am still to come up with a “house” logo, and I am not sure how best to do all the markings all over him. Anyway, here are some pics so far.
