I painted my first Warhammer model in 1998. Since then, I have painted over 300 models, covering:
- Over a dozen Blood Angels (when I was starting)
- A full 4th Edition T'au Empire army
- A full 4th Edition Space Marine army of my own Chapter
- A handful of random Space Marines from different Chapters over the years
- Four Deathwatch Marines
- An Ork warband for Combat Patrol
- Three Dark Eldar
- An Orlock gang
- Three Ratskins
- Two Saurus Warriors
- Random Imperial Guardsmen in different colour schemes
- Two Regimental Advisors
- A squad of Tempestus Scions with a Commisar
- Some random Tyranids
- A squad of Genestealer Cult Neophytes
- A Goblin Blood Bowl team
- An Orc Blood Bowl team
- One Craftworld Eldar
- Círdan the Shipwright
- A Moonclan Grot warband for Warcry
- A Stormcast Eternal warband for Warcry
- Four trees
Notice anything? I have never painted a single Chaos model, even though they exist in every. single. one. of GW's settings. I guess I have always been more of a xenos player, but this is crazy. The closest I've ever come is my Space Marine chapter, who use the odd bit of Chaos Marine wargear as they're short of supplies.
So Warcry has given me the chance to finally paint some very naughty boys, and here they are:

Yes, my photo-taking set-up is still rubbish.
In order of painting, we have:
- Nurgle Fury, who was done entirely using classic paint
- Khorne Fury, who was mostly Contrast other than the wing membranes
- Dark brown Fury to test out Wyldwood Contrast as skin
- Tzeentch Raptoryx, using classic paints
- Slaanesh Raptoryx, which is classic other than on the feathers and the bone / claws
- Fleshy Raptoryx, who is almost entirely Contrast and was a real experiencing in shading up rather than the classic approach
They were a lot of fun to do, and I loved the chance to paint similar models in very different schemes.
