Thanks, guys.

Sticking with the infantry for now, I've done another four stands of flamers:

So now I have sixteen:

Probably more Havocs, next.

Well, in the end I gave in and painted up the Warplord Titan:
Image

Quite pleased with this one. My only real objection is that my once impressive-looking Ravager titan now looks small and puny by comparison. As do the Warlords in my AMTL army, come to that. Only the Imperator still looks impressive next to this beast.

This brings me to over 9,000 points, so this is now my largest Epic army. However, it also means that more than a third of the army is taken from the war engines and aircraft allowance, so it's not quite legal. Fortunately, once I've painted up the rest of the infantry I've got waiting, then it will be back to being legal again.

Having recently discovered that the current Space Marine infantry box doesn't come with any sergeants, I've taken a few of the CSM units I had made from Imperial marine models and clipped them off their bases so as to 'reclaim' the sergeant models in case I ever do a Space Marine army. I've replaced them with stands with missile launchers, so those, along with two more stands of Raptors will be next. After that, Havocs, Chosen, and Screamers, not necessarily in that order.

I think it looks very good (although the head seems a little bit big - maybe a WFB Chaos warrior head might be better scaled?), and would like to second the request of a mighty all-in army shot please! :D

A Chaos Warrior head would be waay too tiny. The head is perhaps a little large, but not badly so, I think. And I'm pretty sure I don't have anything more suitable.

Thanks for the comments, guys. New whole-army shots will definitely be coming once I've finished off these last few formations.

Oh, dear. It's been a month since I've posted anything new. Unfortunately some real-life stuff came along and held things up a bit. However, I have got some more stuff done, and here it is.

First up, some infantry based on Imperial Space Marines:
Image

The Raptors (Assault stands), when combined with the six I already had, mean I can now field a full formation of eight:
Image

The tactical stands (Chaos Space Marines) are a result of discovering that the Space Marine infantry box doesn't come with any Sergeants. Since the Retinue I had that was made using Imperial models included three sergeant models, I decided to disassemble those units in case I needed the Sergeants in the future (I intend on doing a SM army next) and replace them with missile-launcher stands instead. The formation now looks like this:
Image

I also painted up these three Land Raiders:
Image
Which mean I can now field a full company of eight:
Image
I also have one spare. I only needed two extra but I'd got three on eBay and it seemed a shame not to paint up the third as well.

Finally, some more Havocs:
Image

And a second formation of Chosen:
Image

All I have left to do for this army now is six stands of Screamers and a company of Chaos Predators (which I intend to make by putting Raubtier turrets and Sponsons onto Whirlwind hulls). Then I can take some big whole-army pictures and sign the whole thing off.

This is a very slick looking army.

Great work there Axel

Inspirational work as always, Axel!

I love your take on (not too corrupted) Chaos Marines. I had missed your Warlord conversion before, too tied up in real-life matters. I think it looks absolutely stunning.
