So without further delays my company commander's squad of Hench-women.
Yes I know these are dark elf wyches but I thought their dynamic nature as well as impossible body structure (look at those size zero waists) made for a good contrast to the rest of the prim and proper feel of the army.
Now I love these models for two reasons, the first, it has a charming retro camp feel to it, but I get that a lot from the older models (noise marines with guitars for example) the other is the fact that conversions seem to lend themselves quite nartuarally to the older fantasy models and this standard bearer was the perfect example I could pull from this, one quick weapon swap where the standard used to be and you almost can't tell it was there.
I wanted to do something decently funny with the musician turned Vox operator, so this being a chaos army I decided to make her instrument have a mouth like it's alive. already had the fangs, not much more to be done really. Also The rocky horror soundtrack came on while I was painting her and it made me notice that she could not possibly be holding that sword in a more suggestive manner could she?
This is the gal I think came out looking the best honestly. I love the pose even the face is a little munged up, but I also think that is the second best color I have ever gotten for green hair, all the inks seemed to find their place on this model rather easily and the rips in her stockings are just one of the features I love.
So with the gals out of the way I move onto the request portion of the blog, I got asked by Crab_Nicholson to repost my IG shelf but a bit closer and an old Daemon prince project that I never completed, so here they are.
Well that is it for this week folks, Next week I'm thinking it's going to be a skaven and goblin painting tutorial for speed painting. As usual leave any comments, opinions or otherwise in the box below and Have a great week.

Another excellent post. Wyches turned out great, and the contrast to the company commander really makes her stand out. Im interested to see more and more of your traitor guard get painted.
I look forward to the Goblin tutorial, I've got 150 of the buggers sitting around from the Kings of War Kickstarter waiting to get painted.
