And so it begins...

Hey Guys

Well this is the first post as you can see on my latest hobby project: Tzeentch Warriors of Chaos. Now before we discuss this first unit I think a little explanation is warranted as to why I'm blogging this hobby project in the first place.

First off I decided to go with Tzeentch Warriors of Chaos because my last army was Bretonnians. Now those of you who are familiar with the tournament tier system that currently governs over Warhammer Fantasy Battle Tournaments will know that Bretonnians get a bit of a rough deal in army comp. So it occurred to me, a Tzeentch Warriors of Chaos army would have all the advantages of a Bretonnian army (The nasty combo of armour and ward saves) minus lance formations. But even so their combat prowess and magic would outweigh that of those poor Bretonnians.

Secondly Tzeentch Warriors of Chaos has been an army I've always wanted to do. Now when my old friend and HDM K-man got wind of what I was doing he challenged me to get them done for staff tournament which is set to take place in late October/ early November. So here I am with just under three months to do a 2250 point army! Better get cracking!

This first unit of Marauders are armed with great weapons, have a musician and the mark of Tzeentch. I've decided to go with this unit first so that I can have my small units built first to use in small practice skirmishes and it gives me easily achievable goals to ease me into the project. I gave them great weapons as later on they will serve as a flanking support unit for some Chaos Warriors in my tournament army. I achieved this by using the flails and replacing the chain and flail head with an axe blade or hammer head from other weapons.

I've also included in this post a pic of the first Warrior I did as a test scheme (Thanks Brendan for the volunteer model). Your thoughts and comments are most welcome as I progress through this project.
