Hello everybody! I have been looking and watching your forum for a very long time and am inspired by many topics here. And for a very long time I dreamed of building a special SM army for myself. Therefore, I created a topic here and am starting to share the beginning of my project. I hope this will be a great motivation. I don't have much free time, so progress will be slow, but I hope it will be interesting. For myself, I chose the Flesh Tearers order, I really like their color scheme and a huge opportunity for conversions. I began my long journey with the assembly and conversion of the first war. This will be Sergeant Intercessors. On this guy I will test the color scheme and techniques. Hopefully I will share the process with you soon.

After a long hiatus, I've returned to the hallowed halls of B&C with a new found vigour for the Blood Angels angrier cousins - the Flesh Tearers. I decided to paint the sons of Cretacia, as I wanted to revisit my first ever SM army, but didn't want to just paint more Blood Angels - I wanted a bit of a change, maybe something a little darker, a little bloodier. And with the new Primaris kits coming soon, I decided to dive head first into the duality of the rage and the thirst. There is no real plan to build an army, just a need to paint some characterful units, with a few conversions and kitbashes scattered throughout. I wanted the Tearers to look dark and dirty, so it's a deliberately rough paint job. I'm not going to post everything here in this first post, just a few pics to show you all what I've been doing recently.

Made a start on the Chaplain to lead the DC - no bling, just black, red and silver. Going to tone down the red though - far too bright for a Son of Cretacia :)

Hello =) A few weeks ago, with the release of the new 8th Edition Rulebook, i decided that it was time to update the Flesh Tearers Supplement. (What a delight when i saw that the Flesh Tearers even got their two very own pages in the Imperial Indexes.) A so, after some hours of works (more than imagined at first^^), here is the Flesh Tearers "Unofficial" Supplement for the 8th edition of the Rulebook. Also, some may be pleased to note that, there is already the Adeptus Astartes listed in it. (No need for the Space Marines codex, but you will still need the Cards to use them^^.) It is a personal challenge of mine to make things look the more professional it can, but not everything is perfect^^. (The Chaplains will note that i used the Adeptus Sanctioned Watermark for this Version.) With that done, i will go back to the Hobby, and get myself back to work^^. (So much miniatures still waiting to be paint, and which need to be done for the Blood Angels POSSIBLE events of December with the incoming Devastation of Baal Campaign.) Have a nice day. =) Nota Bene : I think that this will be the last Version of the Flesh Tearers Unofficial Supplement. I may correct some little details, but i prefer focus on the hobby and more usefull things....and maybe a Flesh Tearers Compendium with all the Flesh Tearers known fluff.

Hi all! My first 'New Topic' in B & C. Looks to be a great forum (long time random lurker), and I'll try and add my bit. I was wondering how people feel about Gabriel Seth. I'm currently working on a too large Flesh Tearers army, and haven't played any 8th edition yet. Getting back into the hobby since 5th, actually, so I'm a little rusty. On paper, to me, Seth looks like a brutal blood spatter forensic expert's dream. Or possibly nightmare. He's cheap for a HQ, he has a 6" 're-roll to hit' aura, and his Whirlwind of Gore special ability might actually be reasonable (if unreliable) as it can go off on both player's turns. Not sure how survivable he is, although 6 wounds and 4++ isn't anything to sneeze at I guess. Thoughts? EDIT: I'm aware there is currently another thread discussing Seth's keywords just a couple down the page, however I thought it would be nice to talk specifically about 8th edition tactics. If this is considered a duplicate, someone please remove :)

Hello! I've decided to add to my ever growing list of armies to start! I had originally wanted to do a Flesh Tearers army sometime ago, but I was waylaid by various other projects and real life. I was sorting out my bedroom earlier and rediscovered my Shield of Baal box set I'd bought. When I got it, I also bought the new Sanguinary Priest, a box of Blood Angel tactical Marines (half of whom are partly painted as a Blue armoured Successor, the Sons of Cruor ). I also got a never painted, metal Gabriel Seth model. I got a Deredeo Dreadnought that was for a XIII Legion project that I lost interest in, as well as a metal (never painted) Techmarine with harness. I have a few other bits and bobs too that I might be able to add into this. This blog will also resurrect my Flesh Tearers Space hulk models project too. I don't have any progress yet, short of finding the box: . I'll be reading Index: Imperium 1 to see what options I should give the Tactical squad etc and take it from there. I wouldn't normally start a topic without at least something to show, but I could do with some advice. I've spent the last few days looking high and low for a recipe for the shade of Flesh Tearer I want. The trouble is, whilst there are a lot of links via google which can be previewed, clicking the link results in telling me the picture was hosted by Photobucket and thereby unusable I'm sure that Morticon had exactly the right shade I wanted, a dark red, some might call it a claret. Any advice on achieving such a shade would be most welcome. I just need to order copious amounts of shoulder pads to make this a lot easier! Thanks for looking and for any advice you can give

"We are Angels no more." http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/922/d2d7fl.jpg Welcome to my hobby log which I will be using as motivation as I get back into the hobby and try out some new painting techniques. The grim, dark 40k universe is home to many different painting styles, but most of us started out following the painting styles of GW's 'Eavy Metal team. Models were painted in pristine condition using edge highlighting and bright colors. This hobby log will not follow this painting style... I've recently been obsessed with finding new painting styles that aim to breath realism into my models and show off the wear and tear that comes from fighting on the battlefield. Inevitably, I found myself in the world of military modeling where weathering is way more prevalent than in most wargaming communities. I also purchased Forge World's Model Masterclass books which are full of wonderful techniques and examples. Inspiration has also come from this forum where other artists have embraced the grim-dark painting style I'm striving for. Spex, Brother-Captain Arkhan, and poom are but a few of these examples. I blame you gentlemen for inspiring me to start this thread. I'd like this thread to teach others as I stumble through learning new techniques. So hopefully I will be able to add some simple tutorials between posts of finished models. Fair warning, many of these techniques will require additional equipment to the standard brush and Citadel paint range. I plan to utilize an airbrush, oil paints, and weathering powders plus anything else new I find. The scope of this project is to paint in a different way than I've done before though, so I can't promise that I'll be posting frequently or will be able to finish a full army. However, I will start will my Flesh Tearer army before branching out to other projects I'd like to get to. To begin, here's a test model I experimented on. I want to add even more weathering effects to future projects and really push the line of "too much weathering". Please enjoy. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/922/sow6W7.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/924/pl1dMM.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1024x768q90/921/FBagDF.jpg
