Tzeentch. The Church of Transmogrification renewed

I last aded to my Tzeentchian Warband in 2017 ( shameful face!) and is another project I hope to see progress in 2020 and to help remind me I have peppered my painting lists with a warband figure between other projects.
The first figure for 2020 is from Knightmare Miniatures Pantheon Of Chaos Range. Knightmare Miniature are creating amazing figures full of character and a classic Oldhammer vibe perfect for this project and I would recommend checking them out if you don't already know them.


'Phuu (klick) watches the waters and is mesmerised by the light and colours that dance with it, its movements stirring him to the core as they once stirred his body and gave him new form. The hands of Tzeentch upon him that he might better serves the Great Changer. Phuu (klick) stands at the heart of the Church of Transmogrification, the Sacred lake from which the Church draws its great Change.
Phuu (klick) does not remember his life before and the Cerulean ledger records only that he had been here before their arrival, for Abbey had once belonged to a Bretonnian Order dedicated to the Lady of the Lake. The Abbott had fallen to lust and greed, secrets he could not hold, and now its walls and the  waters beneath, this sacred Lake, were made anew and Phuu (Klick) would stand guard and see them bless all as he had been blessed.






Brother York of the Outer Church

Brother York had known a lifetime of secrets. As a child he had been one of twins but as they had grown differences had begun to emerge in his brother Lor. At first it was just in personality, he became more more morose and isolated, with random outbursts of violence and almost animal like rage. He would disappear for days as a teenager, despite the tears of their mother and the beating of their father on his return. Then the changes became physical as puberty brought not a move into manhood but something else. Hair sprouted from all of his body, muscles thickened along with his skin. Fearful of being reported and condemned, the family hid him and chained him to the wall as he descended further. When even this became too much the family took him to the woods and watched him flee into the darkness on hooves. Yorks mother died soon after of a broken heart and his father took to drink and beating York. When he could take no more York fled and was found by missionaries of the Church who were preaching in the town and taken in. The guilt and loss of his brother and mother, his rage towards his father and desperate desire for change a rich offering to Tzeentch.

Tzeentch. Thosim Farsight



Cast out because of his visions of battle and blood, the Dwarf Thosim was lost unto the wilderness until the Great Changer revealed Himself unto Thosim and brought him peace. A pact was struck and the Changer took him eyes that he might see clearly his visions, his inner eye open to what will be not what is. Thosim now moves into his sight and into alignment.
His great axe and eye brought into service to our Church.

I have the bad habit of starting to many projects, and planning many more in my head, though this might just be that I don't have time to do all that want or can imagine!
Some of the ideas get written down, to picked up a some point maybe, and others I start to gather in project boxes and usually start them when they hit critical mass or tie in with a particular mood or event such as my Necromunda Brat gang which I had been slowly adding too over several year and finally had enough to field a whole gang for BOYL.
One of the long term boxes is for a Tzeentch chaos warband, very much a Realm of Chaos creation but with a AOS28 edge.
After picking up a couple of Marauder chaos dwarfs in a recent job lot I added them to the box and realised it had reached a point to start some time ago


Amongst the collection are Tzeentch Deamons and Horrors, Chaos marauders and hounds, Beastmen, Familiars and the Regiment of Renown, The Disciples of the Red Redemption as well as figures from the Pantheon of Chaos Kickstarter.

My aim for the warband is to draw inspiration from the Realms of Chaos books and also AOS28, a more GrimDark vision of the Age of Sigmar.  A focus on each figure with each one being converted. This will be an opportunity for me to stretch my converting and Green Stuff skills and painting.

The first choice is one of the marauder Dwarfs which I have reshaped his helmet to cover his face and added a pair of antlers from the Sylvaneth Tree-revenant box. He will also have one of the shields from the Pantheon of Chaos.


With quite a blocky figure i didn't want to do too much and over do it but rather let the paintwork be the focus.

My idea was to go with a pale bone armour and have echoes of a Pink Horror but with elements of blue to keep it more Tzeentch rather than Slaanesh.

Slann. Spawn Band. 1


The Slann Spawn bands are one of the compulsory units and represent the slann levy drawn from the more sophisticated end of society, larger villages, towns and city districts. The unit will eventually be twenty strong and made up of Slann warriors and figures I am not using for other units. I am also using some figures from the Pantheon Of Chaos Kickstarter, one of the figures from the range is a frog style Chaos beastman and fits in well with the less structured look of the Spawn bands, the human armour being salvaged from a raided human outpost.

Once I have completed the other core units in the army I will come back and add the other ten to the unit.
