I got this Land Raider used and in very rough shape. Instead of fixing it properly, I decided to add a lot of daemonic flesh and other elements of Chaos. I have a shot of the sculpting work prior to putting on paint here if anyone is interested: https://creativetwilight.com/chaos-land-raider-conversion-6/ Anyway, I've made some reasonable progress on painting it and figured I'd share it. Here's a few more since taking the previous shots where I've worked on the Tzeentch eye on the top, and the door for Khorne. I'll be working on other smaller details next, like the tentacles, but I'm not sure what color to do those. The vehicle also has, though not painted/shown, elements for Slaanesh and Nurgle. I want the tentacles god neutral, which is a bit tricky I'm finding. Total open to ideas.

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

Hey Brothers! Note to the moderators...The reason I've put this tutorial up here is that it is a WIP as well. It will be a running project involving all the armour marks and a number of legion specific pieces. In this first post is MKIV only with MKIII to follow soon. I've been meaning to get a tutorial on Heresy armour up here for some time now but have never found the opportunity. It would appear however that I have found the time now! The basic idea is to produce a number of tutorials which may help you to save money by converting almost any GW plastic power armour kit into a heresy armour mark! The focus is on more on the armour than the weapons but in the future I hope to share some methods I've used to turn standard plastic weaponry into heresy era stuff. I will also attempt to display how I would go about doing particular legions, eg head swaps for ultramarines and thousand sons, cloaks for DA and so on. Without further ado (and in good Star Wars tradition) let’s start off with number 4! Maximus Pattern http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h451/Zaevin/tutorial4050.jpg For the purpose of this tutorial I'm going to go mostly off the Forgeworld stereotype. The base model comes from the command squad box with the exception of the blood angels bolt pistol and the finecast backpack which is standard, just resin and not plastic. These principles can be applied to most GW plastic marine kits. One thing I want to encourage people to take note of (and I'm sure the vast majority already have) is that there are absolutely loads of different versions of power armour bits which are considered one mark or another. I can think of 5 or 6 different kinds of mark IV helmet for example, from forgeworld and games-workshop. There are even more pictures of mark IV in artwork which looks different from the generally accepted and now seemingly official forgeworld pattern. So the choice is massive for people wanting heresy era marines. Please note, this is just how I do it and I want to say that there are some fantastic armour tutorials out there! Hope you find this one useful too though Preparation What you'll need. http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h451/Zaevin/tutorial4052.jpg This is more or less what I used for the MKIV marine. Included among the usual suspects such as a sculpting tool and a hobby knife are Nail Perfection UK micro beads which I use to add to armour as bolts. Please for the love of the Emperor do not ask me how I found these... Anyway, like with any project it's a good idea to prepare the tools first so you know you've got everything you need Torso http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h451/Zaevin/tutorial4004.jpg Start with any mark VII torso and clean off aquillas and scull icons and so on until you have a smooth surface. http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h451/Zaevin/tutorial4013.jpg Then score a line from under each arm to the centre of the chest plate. http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h451/Zaevin/tutorial4014.jpg It should also lead behind the torso to the backpack join. Legs http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h451/Zaevin/tutorial4005.jpg For the legs you will need to remove the knee pads and smooth the cleared area to be the same level of the shin guard. http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h451/Zaevin/tutorial4027.jpg You should also cut away the curved part of the cod piece so that it is a flat surface. Prepared Surface Pieces http://i1110.photobucket.com/albums/h451/Zaevin/tutorial4008.jpg At this stage you should have something like this. I mostly find it's sometimes easiest to stick these three together now rather than sculpting the bits individually. ...and on to part two...
