You may have expected Valdor to be wearing his usual golden armor. But not this time! We were asked to get him painted for use both as a showcase piece, and as a member of a Shadowkeepers force in Warhammer 40k. That's one of the reasons why his display base is removable, so he can be used in tabletop battles. See the additional photos to see the base removed and the model without the base, as well as additional angles and views on the model. And if you wonder about the blue and red lighting effects on the model, here's the explanation: After researching a bit about Shadowkeepers, Ańa decided to use two kinds and sources of light on the model. Red light coming from below, represented the demonic enemies. Valdor being in charge of troops keeping them in check would counter them with purity of Adeptus Custodes. This is the blue light coming from inside the collar of his armor and shining onto his face. This would also match some details of his armor and the force halberd. Hope it makes sense now And oh, somebody during the Warhammer Community Hobby Roundup mentioned how he reminds of Abaddon. Totally unexpected, but it turned out to be true! You can check it by yourselves. If you want to see more photos, they can bee seen here.

Hey again, remaking this thread, it disappeared when the forum vent down, and haven't had the time or energy to remake everything, until now! so all of you that's been waiting I am sorry it took so long back now and will update with the old and the new projects. also lost the friends and such on my profile so you guys know I didn't remove you all from the list did get quite a few subscriptions last time in those 2 days, so if you still like this you can sign up again Balefire Legion is Chaos Space Marines from the black legion, who had the warp intensified their hate for the empire and set it ablaze, the green demonic glow showing out through their eyes and even burning through armour and shown in markings. They keep the dark armour of the black legion but adorn the trims with the colour of bone to match the skulls they collect from the countless victim's of every world they set ablaze. With this thread that was originally inspired by subtle discord and his legion rising chaos thread, I in return hope that my work can also inspire others and him as well. if you haven't you should definitely go have a look at legion rising too. I love feedback and ideas and suggestions, so please feel free to comment as much as you like I really like building and converting, and painting and a bit of playing. now lets get some pictures back up! all of these are still wip so missing highlights and such I know and the hellbrute of course, the auto cannon is magnetized and the power fist is snap fit and moveable http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/image-10.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/image-11.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/image-12.jpg then we have my helldrake, wasn't too fond of the original so had to convert it, and since they are supposed to be warped chaos fighters I made it more fighter plane like, opened up a maulerfiend head and stuck a bale flamer in there too for good measure and some crispy loyalist marines on the base, http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/image-14.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/image-15.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/image-13.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/image-16.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/image-9.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/image-1.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/IMG_0661.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/IMG_0659.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/IMG_1229.jpg Working on my next helldrake, did some test mock-ups and asked for feedback on them (Edit: removed these because it somehow exceeded the maximum pictures allowed in a thread) also made a couple of chaos spawns, one normal kit and one I converted from a marine. need to get my hands on some freakflex paint for realistic blood for it. http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/IMG_1275.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/IMG_1274.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/IMG_1276.jpg and the standard one http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/IMG_1273.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/IMG_1271.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/IMG_1270.jpg currently i am working on my deathwing terminators, not having that much money I went for the cheap option and bought a start box, then converted the dark angels to chaos here is the champion http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/IMG_1290.jpg http://i942.photobucket.com/albums/ad269/thamier/work%20in%20progress/IMG_1291.jpg will update with more of the old stuff and of course more of the new
