2 regiments of EoD Chariots!

I painted an Ogre Ambush army, with the aim of getting a Kings of War army while painting as few miniatures as possible. So I copied @Vince’s Ogre lists (I painted enough to be able to make either option described on the blog).
The army is old, cheap Wrath of Kings models - mostly Goritsi werewolves but with some Teknes pigmen in the mix. The crocodog is a kid’s toy of a mammal-like reptile, and the Goblin Blaster is a Warhammer goblin atop a Spyro Skylanders toy.
The full force (a bit blurry, sorry):
Hunter regiment:
The chalk design is an homage to the Discovery in Age of Empires:
You can see it a bit better in this photo:

And the Siegebreakers:
Will post the heroes in a day or two.
I’m grateful to a website called Toolzu which let me download these from Instagram - I think Meta is getting worried people will flee to a friendly platform, and so they’re making it harder to export your stuff from Instagram.

Nice!
I just painted some of those too, as werewolves for my undead though.
There is probably a Herd or Nature list you could run with those models too.
Thanks for the random blast of nostalgia.

Despite the crushing heat this month, I got through the Twilight Kin Champions box:
I did go back in and add water effects to all the glowy green parts of the basing, but couldn’t be bothered to take new photos 
Super happy with the results, despite some gloopy sculpts and frankly unknown details from time to time. Impalers are probably my favorite (they are HUGE) but the Mutants really came together as a unit of weird things. Note that I obliterated Lathiel’s integrated base so she would match the other units’ cork basing.

Thank you! That does get me wondering how much of a Nature list I could put together with unpainted miniatures I already have. I have a couple of sprues of fauns and some dryads that aren’t doing anything …
Finishing up the “Ogre” army with heroes and warmachines.
I was very pleased when this little rubber toy of a long extinct mammal-like reptile showed up – I think it fits the “croco-dog” brief nicely.
Berserker Bully:
Warlock (and representative of a third Wrath of Kings faction, the Nasier.)
Warlord:
Goblin Blaster:
A Warhammer goblin, on this Skylanders toy:
“Hi there!” is a reference to Dr Strangelove.

hehe, glad to be of service! How did the list fare for you?
As ambush battles tend to be over soon and luck has a major part in it, I still win more than I lose with them.
In particular the warlock does well in this format, especially when supported by the two other characters. The regiments, however, exist to die.
lovely work on the Goritisi shame cool mini or not the website for rating people’s paint jobs killed that game, I’m glad they’re going out of business now. I keep thinking of using mine for KoW but then it’s like giving up on Wrath.

Thanks!
I don’t know the details on what happened with Wrath of Kings?
All I know is that at some point retailers gave up on it and lots of the models went for cheap in clearence sales, which is why I got mine.
Great wolves but super smart goblin blaster 
Since the various armies I’m potentially taking to Clash are painted (that’s not to say I don’t have a few thousand points of stuff to finish!), allowed myself to get sidetracked into painting up some models for Barons War.

Need to paint some more so you can give Lion Rampant a go.

Unfortunately I’m yet to play a game with it - or play any Kings of War, in fact. But I’m excited to track down a game and give it a go.

Thanks! I’ve used a few Skylander toys as miniatures. The dimensions are cartoony, but that can be quite fun - and easier to paint.
