Danny Cyanide Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 With 6th edition dropping, I've decided to begin working on my army once again. I'm not the kind of person that likes painting hundreds of models in the same color scheme, as I get bored of it easily, so I've decided to go for a large crusade style army, comprising elements from all nine traitor legions. Here's the plan so far: Black Legion Abaddon (done) 2 Termie (1 done) 3 Troops Death Guard Nurgle DP (done) Typhus (done) 28 Plague Marine Troops (done) World Eaters 32 Bezerker Troops (16 done) FW Bloodthirster (done) Angron Emp Children Slanesh DP 30 Noise Marines (5 done) Thousand Sons Ahriman 10 Rubric (5 done) 10 chosen 4 Oblit sorcs Night Lords 10 Raptors (done) 20 CSM (done) 3 Dreads 2 preds (done) Word Bearers Dark Apostle (Termie Lord) + 5 Termies (done) 10 Chosen 10 Posessed (if the new codex gives them any love) (5 done) Iron Warriors – IG Heavies/Oblits/Min Troops 2 Basilisks (Done) 1 Manticore (Done) 2 vendetta (Done) 30 Vets (Done) Warsmith (done) 20 CSM (Done) Alpha Legion Huron (Done) Sorcerer (Done) 6 Chosen (Done) 20 CSM (Done) Helbrute (done) Here is some of what I've already got done, just to make this thread a little bit visually appealing at the beginning. World Eaters: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/FWWE10.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/FWWE12.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/FWWE5.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Kharn2.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Daemon9.jpg http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/20.jpg Death Guard: Typhus, 5 Terminators and 4 Squads of 7 Plague Marines completed. I'll take an army shot tomorrow, but here's a teaser! http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/dgsquad1.jpg Night Lords: 3 Dreads, 10 CSM and 10 Raptors completed. I'll get a shot up tomorrow as well! http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/lord4.jpg Which Legion would you guys like to see worked on first?

AlexCrute Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Huh. Who'd have thought to add wings to the Night Lord? I'm embarrassed I didn't think of it. Angron has a very appropriate dynamic. The face and pose is fantastic. Might need bigger hooves though. A ballet dancer he was not.

firestorm40k Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 This is an ambitious army, but you're off to a good start! Looking forward to seeing it develop! :eek Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256662-abaddons-black-crusade/#findComment-3123174 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Cyanide Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Goose, The Angron is indeed a custom sculpt, done by a CMON member named Samuel 777. It's a great sculpt, based off of the artwork in Heresy Collected Visions. It is an ambitious project, and will take a long time, but that's what the hobby is about! I'm going to set a goal of a new squad every 2 weeks, so that should help keep the timeframe reasonable! It currently sits with 88 Marines completed, so it's got a good start already, but so much still left to do! Anyone have a legion they'd like to see tackled first?

Circus Nurgling Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Amazing! That's going to be quite a collection you are going to have there. Cool choice for a commission as well (referring to Angron, of course). Are you going to commission a Mortarion, as well? Fulgrim? I'd like to see some Noise Marines/Emperor's Children soon!

Danny Cyanide Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Just a quick WIP update. I decided to work on some Emperors Children next. I've never painted pink before and I thought it'd be fun. They are still very WIP, but I figured I'd better post something! http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/photo.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256662-abaddons-black-crusade/#findComment-3144420 Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far, I have painted: 6 Noise Marines, 10 Iron Warriors 5 Word Bearer Possessed and am part way through the Dark Vengeance CSM as Alpha Legion. I'll post ppics of the Noise marines, IW's and WB's tomorrow, but here are some WIP shots of the Alpha's Here we go: Group shot: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/DV-group-web.jpg Arkos the Faithless: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Arkos-web.jpg Not really twins anymore: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/DV-twins.jpg Dark Apostle and converted twin: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Apostle.jpg These guys are my first stab at Alpha's!

Biaz Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Wow! Not only incredibly ambitious, but gorgeously painted as well! Great work! If you're still after suggestions on what LEgion to paint next, I'll toss a vote in with the Black Legion. They're the baddest of the Badass :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256662-abaddons-black-crusade/#findComment-3172711 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Cyanide Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 Here's a pic of each of the other units I've built and painted over the last month: Emperors Children Noise Marines: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Emperors-Children.jpg Iron Warriors CSM Squad: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Iron-Warriors.jpg Word Bearers Possessed: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Word-Bearers.jpg So those with the Alpha Chosen makes 4 Squads in a month, 5 if you count the lord as a separate unit! Feeling pretty good on my progress so far! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/256662-abaddons-black-crusade/#findComment-3173434 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Cyanide Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 I know that I don't have any plans for them in my first post, but I really should...

Danny Cyanide Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 First Fallen Angel test minis painted. I feel like there is something missing, but I'm not really sure... Maybe it's just the lack of robes. I might have to get a DA upgrade set and make 2 squads of these guys so I can ad some more robes. http://imageshack.us/a/img19/4314/fallenleft.jpg http://imageshack.us/a/img684/764/fallenright.jpg I'm going to get painting the rest of the squad, but if anyone has any suggestions for how to improve them, let me know!

Nintura Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I have to ask, are you painting all these shown so far? It just seems like there are two or more paintstyles. Don't take this the wrong way, but when you look at the world eaters, it seems like you dont water your paint down and its a bit chalky, but then you see that beautiful bloodthirster and the blending is superb. Either you're like me and hate to do cannon fodder troops over and over and over and get bored, but take your time and love painting big important models, or something. But either way, well done so far. You have a large amount completed already.

Danny Cyanide Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 It wouldn't be much of a Work in progress log if I wasn't painting these... I painted the World Eaters a couple of years ago, they were only shown here as pictures of "what was already done". The blood thirster was painted and shaded with an airbrush. The paints on the World eaters in thinned, but the one Macro shot really brings out any imperfections in the paint work. Anyways, Here's tonights finishing point on the Fallen: http://imageshack.us/a/img571/1368/fallengroup2.jpg After I finish these guys I think I'd better get my butt in gear and actually do some base work before I get too much more painted! As it is, all of the WOrld Eaters, Nightlords and everything painted since I've started this thread are on bare bases, so it's already a BIG base backlog! I'll post up a new group shot after I get that done!

Danny Cyanide Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Here are the Fallen: Group shot: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Painted-Fallen-Group.jpg Fallen 1-3: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Painted-Fallen-1-3.jpg Fallen 4-6: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Painted-Fallen-4-6.jpg Fallen 7-10: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/Painted-Fallen-7-10.jpg So, since I started this thread and actually started painting again on August 8th, I have painted: 6 Noise Marines 10 Iron Warriors 7 Alpha Legion 5 Posessed Word Bearers and now 10 Fallen Dark Angels! 38 Minis in a little over a month! I feel like I'm setting a really good pace for this project! Next up: Basing. I have all the Nightlords, World Eaters, And everything that I've painted since starting this thread to base, so it's a pretty big job. My goal from here on in is to base as I go, and not leave my self such a large back log!

Danny Cyanide Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 Update time: If you look at the group shot I took earlier, you will see 5 Hight Lords Vehicles. You will also see that they are Razorbacks and Baal Predators, as I was originally building the Night Lords to be used as Blood Angels. http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/IMG_0004.jpg I have since decided that that is a horrible idea, and have converted them back to Chaos Vehicles. Dakka Preds got Autocannons from IG Heavy Weapon Sprues, and the Razorback Turrets got covered in trophy racks/Chaos Icons: http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m165/Danny_Cyanide/minis/NL-tanks.jpg Oh yeah, and they all got painted! Still need to fix those Dreads though! New full army shot tomorrow!
