I've been into the hobby, on and off, since I was a kid. Not sure of the edition, but I was playing with metal Eldar in the late 90s. I remember I was part of a national GW campaign detailing battles held across all the stores. I think it was against the nids on Piscina and was around the time of a big metal nids release. I almost sent in a mail order form for lictor, carnifex and a biovore. Anyway, it was a long time ago and as such I have rather a large mountain of shame (I didn't paint much as a kid, didn't have the patience!). I recently decided to start putting paint to plastic and after searching around the web I decided to join the B&C earlier this year. I have partaken in a number of painting events which has seen me knuckle down and get a fair few minis painted. Although I have found I've probably rushed a few minis to meet deadlines, I think (hope!) my painting skills are improving. I'm always looking to improve my skill set so, instead of clogging up the event threads, I thought I should start my own WIP thread to see what you, the B&C community, thought. I have taken so much inspiration from here I thought I should put something back. You never know, there may even just be some bits I share that will be useful to someone else as I do enjoy a conversion or two. Now, as I'm lazy, this will probably contain lots of different factions (eventually anyway!) as I have a mountains of grey plastic in various boxes and cupboards in my house. To give people an idea of what may come up. I have; Easily a 10k plus HH era Dark Angels. 5k plus of Craftworld Eldar (aeldari) Harlequins & Exodites. Lots of Inquisition, Deathwatch & Grey Knights. A couple of boxes sets destined to be Primaris Rift Stalkers. 3 x Imperial knights House Orhlacc. 20 x The Death Deliverers, House Escher. 5k plus of Red Corsairs & the Weaping Legion & 4 x chaos Knights. Phew, that's a lot of minis now I come to think of it and writing it down has slightly overwhelmed me lol! Not that it will stop me buying more no doubt. Nothing like a challenge. As the Call Of Chaos is upon us, my first few posts will be the Chaos Knights I have vowed. After that, well it's anybody's guess. There will be a mixture of standard and converted minis on here so I hope it will be of interest to some. (Apologies for the long first post) So, first up is a Knight Tyrant. I have used some very helpful advice obtained here to create a weathered effect with liquid green stuff. Although this is a Desicrater loadout it will be a rampager (incarnate slaughter). I have just Khornifyed it a bit. And a couple of 'slaved' war dogs that will also be suitable Khornifyed. This is a group shot of where I am at so far And a close up of the Tyrants armour. I have tried to create a moss effect following a GW Sylvaneth base tutorial I found. I may try and us a similar method to add lichen to the armour too. I'm trying to achieve a really worn, weathered look. One only to befit such a disciple of nurgle. Still lots to do mind. Please let me know what you think so far. C&C welcome. Cheers.
