Next up was the Chaos Lord, the legendary unit of the Uthuk Yllan (chaos side). This monstrosity stands out with its brute strength, high hit point and its slowness compared to the agile yet weaker Roc Warrior.

The Chaos Lord


It actually turned out a little darker than what I had intended due to the washes and inks I used for shadows.

Blood and gore


I shared this mini on the Reaper Forums and got very positive feedback comments from very nice and helpful people. I shall frequent those halls more often and get advice on how to improve.



One area of improvement we have identified is actually on shooting miniatures. I shall build a light box and use day light lamps (they have a temperature range of around 5000 Kelvin) to achieve the best pictures.



I tried something new with this mini and it is blood/gore effect using glue and Tamiya clear red (X-27). 




A little black was added to give the real gory look since blood clots real fast and the hemoglobin turns the blood red to a dark brownish/blackish color in a short time. I did mess it up at first with adding too much black but after a few trials and errors I think I found the right color.

Detail on the gore effect



With the Chaos Lord complete all cavalry, elite and legendary units are completed. Now 60 archer and infantry units await me…
