The Guardian

 I've been slowly making my way through painting Knightmare Miniatures' Pantheon of Chaos range of miniatures, which are all really awesome and creative. I love them. Many of the designs are based on unused Games Workshop concept art for followers and daemons of the Chaos God Malal who was the 5th Chaos God early on in development which unfortunately never got made due to some copyright stuff. 



This fellow, called "The Guardian", is a rather unique looking warrior of chaos. Elongated neck, disproportionately long arms, covered in platemail and with a head like a statue. When I saw him, I immediately thought to paint him in gold. He reminds me a lot of Ornstein and Smough from Dark Souls. Might be why my brain immediately went to gold but I think it's very fitting.



Here he stands with a few of his fellow followers of chaos. These models are truly a ton of fun. You should check out Knightmare Miniatures if you are a fan of Oldhammer inspired chaos stuff. They also have a whole range of orcs and goblins and Rogue Trader inspired things as well.


Next up... I might attempt one of the bigger models. I'll have to get my courage up though!
