Skavenblight's Carnival of Chaos thread

Sorry guys - I have completely abandoned my warband... well, maybe not completely After very long time I have painted 2 of my 4 brethren - so hopefully I will finish my warband (at last!).

I haven't been here for a month, but don't worry - I'm back and this is not the only thread I want to reanimate


Rodrik & Georg:

Finally! the return of the wicked! (and by that I don't only adress your warband )

Though not too fond of the models, I really dig the paint job, especially the little details on the skirts and shoulder parts!

are you perhaps hinting at the underground scenery?
I would love to see some more of that! -specially after JohnYoung, Eliazar and I found what fun you could have with underground adventures! updates!

It's true - the models are the worst sculpts in this warband. They all have the same bodies and hands, only heads are different. But I tried to convert them - these models are converted only a little (hands, hands, hands) but the other two, which are already waiting for painting, are better - one of them has even lost his head

I haven't forgotten about my underground scenery I hope you will see something new this week

Well done! Does the heart good and cold to see evil out roaming about. Great Job!

NEVER WAS FOUL SO FAIR! Lovely work on some ugly minis. It's surprising how some less-than-state-of-the-art can be painted up into little treasures. As always your pieces are BEAUTIFUL. WELCOME BACK & WELL DONE!

I like them a lot, I'm trying to figure how I will glue mines, but I really like the colours you used !

Let's finish Papa Nurgle's Children!

Ok, ok... I haven't finished the warband completely. There is still one mini to paint, but it's the last! And this is Horst, 3 of the 4 brethren. He's very shy, so forgive him that he's still wearing the mask

(As always, sorry for the pics, they're not always as sharp as I wanted, but the most important was to save the colors, which "like" to turn out different in the daylight...)

LOVE him!! Awesome paint job! And his name... haha ..."Horst"... that made me laugh. Awesome pun! .D

VERY COOL in an appropriately VERY DISTURBING way. Horst does have a charm all his own, AND he IS a SNAPPY dresser. As always VERY WELL DONE!

Those models look really "neat" Skavenblight. Great job.

I really like the Cart conversion and the Slimey bases

Bardzo dobrze!!!

Great work! I'm a fan of all things Nurgle, and this whole warband is awesome! I like the bright color palette you used in contrast with their disgusting bodies - very humorous and fitting of the Carnival (in their own twisted way)!

I especially like the little touches to all the Nurglings.

I don't think I have ever commented on your work, but I have been lurking around your posts alot, so I figured it's about time you get another compliment!

Love all your work! And Horst is one cool guy.

Is this guy orginally come with a horse head or was that sculpted on?

Wow, is all that I have to say I have completely missed this thread and those figures are so amazing And I would have commented further if I didn't have a baby climbing on my laptop

Nice work. I don't like the modles, but your work is great.

I like your models, though considering the paining you could indeed try giving them some deeper shades, I like that their colorful with a wide palette, though still giving them some shading could very well give them an appealing look.

I think I will disagree Popmouth, with these models (Im not a big fan) I think her bright paints make these models! I think if she were to wash them they would be grundgie and befiatly not Skavenblight! I really like her clean, bright painting style and it brings out (imo) the models characture. Other wise I wouldnt even be looking at the CoC warband, cause like the way GW painted their CoC warband, rubbish and not much fun to look at. Skaven on the other hand, very good to look at!

Very insparational miniatures indeed, I am especialy excited about the plague cart! is there any way I can get my hands on similar jewellery boxes, where did you buy them? or do I have to just scoure the net for something that resembles them. All I know is it is an extreamly good idea! can't wait for a group foto.

Woot woot!! I love them! Well done!

Wow... sorry that I didn't write a word here since month, but I had no time for forum. I try to reply now

No, the guy was like Georg - here, the model with yellow head


But I didn't want to have two identic guys, so I cut off his head and replaced it by another head. The horse head is from this mini, which is one of my tainted ones in my CoC.

Thanks for opinion. Actually, I agree with you, deeper shades may look better; in other warbands of mine I tried (and try) to save the balance. But in this warband the idea was to paint it as colorful as possible I don't negate that the colors are eye-striking - it should be so. However, I don't want to paint like this every warband.

I'm afraid I can't help you with this; it bought these boxes in one of the big shops with books, computer games, CD's etc. There are also little things like these, but I don't know how it looks in your country. But I think it rather easy (and cheap) to buy, you need only look for it carefully

Hey guys,
I'm glad to show you THE LAST MINI from this warband! Yes, yes, this is the big day - the warband is complete now. It's taken very long, but I think it looks good. Tomorrow I'll show you all of them - complete warband of Carnival of Chaos, with its story and story of each one model (yes, I will use my bad English and try to translate it for you...), and of course, NEW PICS! Today is the day of Zafir, the last brethren and also last mini painted for CoC. Let's celebrate!




More pics on blog.

VERY COOL...AND with Group photos, fluff, & your charming way with English looming on the horizon, all I can say is OH BABY!Well maybe I could say a word or two more...the last of the Lads turned out GREAT, a FINE addition/finale to a FINE War Band. VERY WELL DONE!

Hey girl, what i've read here from you so far, your english is not that bad. (better than my Polish, that's for sure )


Can't wait to see the total group shot!

Thanks guys. I translated the story to English, it wasn't so hard as I thought. I need only to ask my hus... ummm, I mean dictionary about few words which I don't know, and then the story will be complete!

A brighter version of the last brethren - someone told me it's too dark (I don't know why I can paint the minis, but after 3 years of painting, I have still problems with pics):

good job! You're indeed a better painter than me...
