“Every head hewn from neck, every drop of blood spilt, makes Khorne stronger regardless of whom it is that dies in the dirt. You cannot win, for to fight us is to give us power.”

Finally finished my Marauder Horsemen unit. These 5 cavalries took longer than my unit of 12 Chaos Warriors. They will repay me by running down and flanking helpless enemies of the Chaos and spill imaginary plastic blood of my plastic opponents.
Tried my hand for the first time at NMM (non-metallic metal) and used no metallic paints for this unit, which probably contributed to the long time spent on painting them. I personally dislike metallic paints in general, so I had sufficient motivation to experiment with the NMM techniques.
Next up, gonna try to quickly finish off 10 Chaos Warhounds. Since they are pretty small relatively, they shouldn’t take too long (which is what I said before I started these horsemen).
Or maybe I'll switch my palette and get some Retribution of Scyrah Mage Hunters done. Always thought these models look sweet and always wanted an excuse to paint those (also a fan of Eiryss. She represents what really matters in the Iron Kingdoms, which is hunting mages). Now that I’m also getting into Malifaux but hate all the Wyrd models, I can finally get these Mage Hunters to proxy for my Witch Hunters crew.
Total time spent on Marauder Horsemen unit (from opening the box to sealing the last model): 138.5 hours
Time spent per model: 27.7 hours
