The bulk of
the Chaos hordes are made up of heretical and weak-willed humans, seduced by
the corrupting influences of Chaos. These heretics are known as Chaos Cultists
and serve as expendable troopers in the armies of the Dark Gods. While the
average cultist lacks the skill, training and expertise of the rank-and-file
Imperial Guardsman, Chaos Cultists make up for this by their vast numbers,
fanaticism and brutality.

I
built five more Chaos Cultists using components from the Frostgrave Cultist
sprue and various Game Workshop sprues. While
I used three distinct colours (khaki, dark red and dark green) for the robes worn
by the previous group of cultists (please see part 1 for more details), I painted
this group of cultists with khaki coloured robes. The cultist armed with the chainsword stood
out as the squad leader; thus, I wanted to apply colours that would make this
figure standout. Finding inspiration from the ancient Celtic warriors, I applied
blue warpaint to the cultist’s face; as well, I painted the shoulder armour and
sergeant’s rank insignia blue, creating a sharp contrast against the khaki
robes.

Old Guard; a website dedicated to Games Workshop’s Warhammer 40K miniatures,
