My chaos army started with the original set of rules that let you create warbands with lots of options.  The background was a group of Inquisitors had been seduced by Chaos.  Hadrian Cankersoul was the leader.  His second in command was Flavinius the Damned.  The warband was called Cankersoul's Reavers.  As the rules morphed over the  years, I switched to Black Legion and Flavinius became my Captain.

Custom built Inquistors.

 

 

 

Inquisitors originally could use daemon weapons.  I customized this fig with a hellblade from a bloodletter.

Chaos cultists using the original Imperial Guard figures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Space Marine Scout.  One of my favorite GW figures.

As you can see, heavy conversion work in my armies.

Yeah no kidding!  I love that you're using the classic beakie Marines for the Inquisitors and the classic style Imperial Guardsmen for the cultists.  Very cool!  Your Chaos Warriors bring back memories of an opponent I battled a few times in a campaign our gaming group ran, and he was running Warriors of Chaos, Nurgle flavor.  My Bretonnians did reasonably well against him, (2 - 1 in the campaign) but the games were hard fought.

Is Flavinius the Damned's head from a Space Wolf sprue?  And am I crazy or is the mutant sporting a Bretonnian Men-at-Arms helmet?   

I also love the severed Grey Knight arm on the Bloodletter's base.  I take it the organs and living matter on the tanks is green stuff? 

Your beakie marine Inquisitors reminded me of a Black Templar squad I recently completed after digging up some of my old marines I got back in 1990, and added a classic Rhino I got from a swap meet in the area.  I refurbished the marines and built the Rhino to be an all-retro Tactical Squad for my army:

Falvinius's head is a very old beserker dwarf head.  Yes a Bretonnian head.  I bought a box so I had stuff for my Mordheim figs.  They work perfectly.  Yes to the green stuff too.

 

I play heavy Nurgle, a little bit of Khorne and very little Tzeentch or Slaaneesh.

Never did a WHFB army in Chaos, but I did have a small Chaos Space Marine army for a little while, 100% Thousand Sons/Ahriman Warband.  I decided with all the games I'm into I didn't need more than one army per game, so I sold them.  That's also about the time I started selling off my Beastmen.

[mirkwood]

Yea, one army is plenty.  For WH40K I have enough left over Space Marines to run a very generic space marine army too.  If I ever played that is.

I have a partially constructed Dark Elf army to go with my Chaos in WH.  If I ever played that is.

Lots of stuff for Mordheim.  Easy to make multiple warbands.  I typically play Beastmen Raiders, Orcs and/or Carnival of Chaos (which is Nurgle based.)

I have not painted a figure in years now.  Looking at my old Nurgle army makes me want to start up again.

 

[unixknight]

Hehe it's like an addiction, in a way.  You can turn away from it for a while, but as soon as you start looking at that stuff again... It sucks you right back in.

I'm perfectly okay with that though. 

Have you played any 7th Ed games?  Annoyed as I was by the short time interval between 6th and 7th, I have to admit 7th is more fun than I've ever had with 40K.

[mirkwood]

I haven't played 40K in probably 7-8 years now.  Same with WH.  I just started back up with Mordheim with one of my sons this past year.  Tabletop gaming for me the last few years has been D&D.

[unixknight]

My gaming club has just started a Warmachine campaign but I'm hoping to do another 40K one soon.

[mirkwood]

Warmachine has a great figure line.

[unixknight]

Their sculpts are amazing but sometimes the way they're pieced together leaves something to be desired.  I'm dreading the assembly of my Harbinger of Menoth:

I'll look at them later.  I'm home, but using the work laptop and that site is blocked by the filters.  You most have some really bad pictures there!!!

[mirkwood]

As a side note, a lot of the Nurgle conversion work on the knights was done using Warmachine Hordes.  I can't remember which faction.

LOL That's funny.  My pics are hosted by my own website, which is just a tiny little gaming club site and the domain is ldsknights.org.

Update on the new tile for Mordheim.

BERSERKER DWARF!!!  I KNOW WHAT THAT IS!!!

THIBLEDORF PWENT!!!!

I was just amazed at all your creativity wondering what in the world are these?  I mean... we're still on Legos over here...

[unixknight]

@mirkwood I'm really diggin' that tile.  So is it your plan to build a few of these and just arrange them on the table at gametime, or just use it by itself?

This is actually a game board?  It's not just for display?  Mind.  Blown.

Yep!  You assemble and paint miniatures like the ones you've been seeing in this thread.  This is what a game might look like on a completed board:

[anatess2]

That looks like a Clash of Clans scene... except real pieces.

[mirkwood]

This is my second Mordheim tile (2x2).  I plan on making four total which can be faced any direction to alter the make up of the terrain.

Ah ok.  So they're 24" on a side, right?  I'm seeing those same 4 tiles serving as a cool board for Warmachine as well.
