Chaos Knights : Part one (Unit)

Dreaded Chaos Knights, Lords of the Battle fields, Keepers of Chaos Sciences and blablabla... This mythic unit is the most powerful cavalry across every editions of Warhammer. It’s time for me to have my own unit … for my own God.

I spend a lot of time to find this picture in my White Dwarf collection, a unit of ten marauders horsemen (knights) on battle field... Hard to manage for a Chaos opponent!
This small pic is a real obsession for me since many years... Thank to Steve Casey, he have the good idea to publish the Bryan Ansell collection and now we have close up of a part of this marvelous unit.

Oldhammer Day is the perfect excuse for me to realize my Chaos Knights project. No doubt, their best incarnations are the the 3rd edition range, three massive and aggressive steeds with pure Chaos armored Horsemen... They're for me the spirit of the 3rd ed Chaos army like the Champions of Jes Goodwin.

I dont want a unit of Four, five or eight mounted warriors, I when ten !! With my own interpretation of (d6-4)+(1d4 ) Chaos attributes. Horns, weapon tails, tentacles, heavy Chaos bardage, chains, rivets, trophies, add weapons, bags, scabbards, Flags, personal banner,... As you can see I make a lot conversion with green stuff. I used many others metal part like Chaos champions torso, Chaos chariot Driver torso, Fiend of Slaanesh tails, Unicorn head, etc…

Five weeks to paint this unit... Nice holidays works :) I hope meet a lot of people at Nottingham, Bye. 




Finished at 80 %, I am very satisfied by the result.

Rest : Bags, scabbards, shields and other mscellaneous.

I love this Champion of Slaanesh, but with a Chaos Star and a JG Rune, he's better :)

First colors test and bardages creations, the bones bardage is a tribute to Jes Goodwin
and his bones armors.
