Caramon the Rabid

 My latest puttering is also my most favorite classic Chaos Champion that GW ever put out - some might know him as Chaos Champion #14, but to me he'll always be Caramon the Rabid, leader of the Skullrippers.

Badass.

Scary fella, no? His name comes from the "armies on parade" section of Realm of Chaos - Slaves to Darkness, where several champion miniatures and their warbands were painted up and given names/backstories. This Jes Goodwin sculpt was called Caramon the Rabid, and the name has stuck in my head ever since.


His original paint scheme is a bit...eclectic...

As you can see, I did keep the face on the daemon weapon green, as it seems to be traditional (just about every version of this guy I've seen has it in green).


The disturbing color for the tail is intentional.


Yay, Chaos!
