Plastic Flamers of Tzeentch

Very simple to make, very simple to paint. My plastic Flamer of Tzeentch is basically a warhammer fantasy wood elf dryad.

To build follow the instructions in the dryad box. Don't put the back banner branch on. Clip some of the excess leaves off. And done!

To paint. Undercoat black. Dry brush grey (not to heavy) and then dry brush lightly with white. This gives a basic charcoal effect.
   For the burning parts, paint blobs of red in some of the gaps (make sure you get the mouth and eyes). Inside the reds paint orange, inside the orange paint yellow, inside the yellow paint dots of white. Base and done! Important bit with the painting the burning parts is to not to go over the top.

A unit of three plastic Flamers of Tzeentch

Basic Battlefield tips: Buy in threes without the bolt of Tzeentch upgrade. When deepstriking be risky, go for the expensive non-veichle units and breath of chaos the heck out of it. Don't expect the unit to survive till your next turn (thats why I would keep this unit as cheap as possible).

That's it for now.
Thanks Tom B aka Fitzbaron

Ps in the previous blog I did say I would show how to do make plastic plaguebearers well I lied. I am chaos after all hahaha. Up next plastic plaguebearers?

I have a dream.....

I have a dream... and that is to build a full warhammer 40k Chaos daemon army on the cheap and all plastic, with enough units and options to customize my army to face any opponent. If you have stumbled upon this blog then for you over the coming months is (I hope) a selection of articles to help you; be it army building, painting, and/or modeling. All done to a simple level.

And so the intro background bit of all blogs (go ahead and skip this as nothing usefull is here - you will have to wait until the first proper article for that 'PLASTIC PLAGUEBEAERS !!!)

Let's begin as any good tzeentch story teller would, somewhere before the end, in no order, with no road signs of a starting point... I have played my first two games, one of which was against my mortal gaming enemy (best man at my wedding) and writer over at Blood Claw, John. Which means I have built the following:

4 generic plastic heralds
20 plastic pink horrors
15 plastic plague bearers
3 plastic daemon princes

Next up will be some flesh hounds and flamers all made from plastic (and modeling putty)

Before I go one last thing. My name is Tom aka Fitzbaron and I have played Chaos Daemons since the codex came out using my square based fantasy daemon army.
