The ground trembles under the thundering hooves of the Varanguard, their warped steeds carrying them into battle while the warriors roar the name of the Everchosen. These “Knights of Ruin” are Archaon’s wrath unleashed upon the Mortal Realms, and the ground is soaked in gore beneath their advance.
This Varanguard was converted and painted as a Chaos Lord of Khorne on a Steed of Chaos.
A devotee of Khorne is as likely to be an honourable champion in combat as a blood-crazed slaughterer. Khornates take no artful approach to killing, seeking only to slay rather than to inflict pain, because while the blood and death of their victims strengthens Khorne, their suffering actually empowers its nemesis Slaanesh.
The model is a part of a larger project – riders devoted to each power of Chaos. More of them will follow soon.

In the past I painted a few models of followers of Tzeentch, including some sorcerers, champions and knights. Then I had a longish break from painting Warhammer models. But I was asked to paint some Tzeentch models again and rediscovered the fun in painting them.
This was in 2020 and although I showed this Kairos Fateweaver model in several places already, I never added it to my gallery here. And my gallery would be so incomplete without it, so here it goes!
Kairos Fateweaver’s base
This project took much more time than I wanted, mainly because of the base. Initially I had a slightly different idea for it, but eventually we got it 3d-sculpted and 3d-printed.
The idea was that the Kairos Fateweaver daemon is emerging from a magical vortex created in some kind of an opening or magical portal. When viewed from above, the shape of the base forms the symbol of Tzeentch.
The ever-changing Changer of the Ways
The model is full of colors, ideas and details. I know it makes focusing on one focal point difficult. That’s right, because there isn’t any. Or not just one. I had the idea of Tzeentch being the chaos power of constant change and magic, would distort and mutate everything all the time. So things would keep changing, focus would keep shifting and attention wouldn’t remain on just one spot.
I know this probably made the model more difficult to “read” and understand. But I am still happy with how it turned out.
And it also reminded me of the fun that I used to have painting those Warhammer models. So I am painting them again. I have a few next projects planned already, so if you would like me to paint anything for you, please let us know. This will allow us to arrange everything and get you a place in the queue for our miniature painting service. 🙂
This Chaos Daemon Prince of Slaanesh for Warhammer 40.000 is an older paintjob, which I tweaked a bit in 2020 and called it done. Yet I’ve never found time to post. So without any further delay here it goes.
It was supposed to be a part of a large Slaanesh-themed project, which unfortunately got canceled shortly after it started. Sadly, even gods of Chaos cannot save their followers from some terrible misfortunes.
I took this model to a few events and he earned me some trophies. But after revisiting it in 2020, I found it strangely incomplete. I felt the urge to tweak him a bit, and so I did it.
Now you can see the Chaos Daemon Prince of Slaanesh, still in the original concept but with slightly adjusted interpretation. He remains pretty accurate and faithful to the original version though. Enjoy! 🙂
If you like the model and might find use for it, it’s currently available for sale. And if you aren’t so fond of it, you can always contact us about commissioning something more in line with your style and preferences. 🙂
Finally, I can share some photos of the commission work done lately!
It came to me in two parts – Dark Imperium Nurgle minis and Renegade Knight + Armiger Helverins. While painting Dark Imperium was really quick and easy – standard miniatures, on a Basic Table-Top level, the Knights detachment was little more challenging 😉
My main assumption when painting for a Basic standard lvl is to make things really quick and easy, as much as I can, but with a good, clean and well-looking finish, at least at the first sight 😉 Citadel Washes and Contrast paints are just perfect for that, and I used them a lot here.
To achieve the certain shade of green, I started with painting Plague Marines’ armour using an airbrush, then painted some details and metallics, and then, almost dipped whole miniature in Agrax Earthshade to create shading and dirt.
The Bligh Drone was painted using the same techniques as the Plague Marines, it just took some more time to paint such big surfaces 😉
Then, the time has come for the horde of Pox Walkers – only 10 of them are in the pictures – It’s half of the amount I’ve painted, rest are just exactly the same 🙂
They are almost 100% Contrast Paints, with the solid coat of Agrax Earthshade at the end to make them fit better with Marines.
As I said Before – the real struggle begun with the big boys. They are not only very big and detailed miniatures, that comes in many, many parts – I also had to customize them a little bit, to fit the Chaos standards better and please the Papa Nurgle. Nonetheless, they are still in Basic lvl painting (and modelling), so nothing so very amazing or unusual here, just some spikes, horns and pimples 😉
Da Biggest Boi n da Hood was in need of the fourth arm, to make the emperors minions evaporate even faster! So, I had to build one from the scratch, using some modelling putty, bass guitar strings, plastic pipes, and some old bits and rubbish.
Of course, all of his arms are magnetized to make weapon swaps quick and easy!
That’s all for now, but some very cool and exciting projects are in progress, so stay tuned for more, cheers!
