Week 5: Chaos Marauder Horsemen

[Target]

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">This last week has stretched my ability to speedpaint. You may not consider 5 figures in a week speed painting but for me painting 5 cavalry figures&nbsp;it is. I've previously spent three weeks painting a single infantry figure, so this just feels wrong. I have managed 5 horsemen, but I found it hard work.</span><br /><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The guys&nbsp;carry the slaanesh mark and so I have tried to give them a more luxurious and self indulgence combination of colours. I choose to go for a lilac and beige combination. I also cannot see slaanesh warriors wearing a standard uniform, so I have tried to add some variety in the patterns.</span><br /><div class="separator"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm14yeuXwm8/S2tMzcoanjI/AAAAAAAAAFc/R6UvY74a9Fg/s1600-h/chaos+Horsemen.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm14yeuXwm8/S2tMzcoanjI/AAAAAAAAAFc/R6UvY74a9Fg/s320/chaos+Horsemen.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">In their final form each unit will be six strng and will include a musician. However they only come 5 to a box, so here are 5. To maintain their light cavalry status I cannot use the shields. This leaves a problem of what to do with the shield arm. Really I could not think of anything other than to put things in them. Not sure how well it was worked, but never mind. They are what they are.</span></div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm14yeuXwm8/S2tMQhbm7TI/AAAAAAAAAE0/Nlzufkhzm-M/s1600-h/Chaos+Horseman+arm+in+air+2.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm14yeuXwm8/S2tMQhbm7TI/AAAAAAAAAE0/Nlzufkhzm-M/s320/Chaos+Horseman+arm+in+air+2.jpg" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm14yeuXwm8/S2tMWSY17dI/AAAAAAAAAE8/eAFsAZzqbb0/s1600-h/Chaos+Horseman+loads+of+spears.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm14yeuXwm8/S2tMWSY17dI/AAAAAAAAAE8/eAFsAZzqbb0/s320/Chaos+Horseman+loads+of+spears.jpg" width="215" height="269" /></a></div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm14yeuXwm8/S2tMijfbh8I/AAAAAAAAAFM/8AgLEkK_2es/s1600-h/Chaos+Horseman+throwing+spear+1.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm14yeuXwm8/S2tMijfbh8I/AAAAAAAAAFM/8AgLEkK_2es/s320/Chaos+Horseman+throwing+spear+1.jpg" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm14yeuXwm8/S2tMdHhj1mI/AAAAAAAAAFE/RxL7bXAVbmc/s1600-h/Chaos+Horseman+staff+upright+1.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm14yeuXwm8/S2tMdHhj1mI/AAAAAAAAAFE/RxL7bXAVbmc/s320/Chaos+Horseman+staff+upright+1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm14yeuXwm8/S2tMpO9fRWI/AAAAAAAAAFU/piAPdDWbO7M/s1600-h/Chaos+Horseman+with+axe+2.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Hm14yeuXwm8/S2tMpO9fRWI/AAAAAAAAAFU/piAPdDWbO7M/s320/Chaos+Horseman+with+axe+2.jpg" /></a></div>
