    Slaves to Darknes : Khorne Demonic Legion

    Hey readers ! 2023 finished with a sad new. As lot of WHFB Oldschool fans already know, Bryan Ansell one of the chief architects of Warhammer franchise who helped to turn Games Workshop into a Juggernaut. Has died, he was 68. Realm of Chaos books were considered as Bryan’s minions, so my current work make me feel as an humble contributor of his memory. Be a creative hobbyist and a passionate painter of Chaos models is my best way to celebrate his huge legacy.

    In this new post, I focused on Elite troops and Characters. I mixed Minotaurs bodies with bloothirster heads, this simple combo represent Khornate minotaurs aspiring to reach Greater Demon legion rank. The Chaos portal is another combo between an old Scotia Grendel model and 3d print Khorne icon I redesigned. The Keeper of the gate is a small conversion of Epic Angron Primark. To finish, the Characters come from the Behemoth Pantheon of Chaos page (link), pretty cheaper for those metal chunks! I slightly extended the K’Thul’s wings. Next post, a tremendous Khornate Dragon Ogre.









    Ancestral Recall!
    I met once Bryan during the first Oldhammer Day in 2013 at Nottingham. He came from nowhere and  join the gaming table I ran with Paul, we had a gentle chat regarding the creation of the plastic trays for the Bryan's Chaos/Heroes models boxes era. I remember how he spoke in his beard (dans sa barbe, in french), not so easy to understand for a 'non' native but very funny discussion. Huge respect for him!

    2. A super work as always, in the conception, in the conversion, in the painting: wonderful! And as usual taking inspiration from classical iconography.
      Thanks for showing us how well the two demons from Knightmare miniatures look with brown fur and red armour: how tall are they?
      We'd love to see your Khorne forces in one shot in a future post - it should be a terrifying sight!

    3. Love these models - painting is just brilliant but the backdrop just hits the nail!
      Is the backdrop your painting or is this something dowlonaded from the web!

    4. Great work Nico - very nice!
      I was also sad to hear of Bryan, though I never met him, he was a true legend and without him there would be no Realms of Chaos or Warhammer as we know it today!
