From the album: Black Legion

Hi guys ! With the V8 out I found my motivation to finally get my army of CSM painted ! This topic will be about everything about CSM, as I never managed to stick to one or another army...they are a warband of undivided CSM on one hand, on the other they come along with a lot of cultists. This should end up as a black legion warband, yet I never did feel like painting black legion and my regular marines have come in a lot of shapes before being stripped off and repainted, again and again. That being said, I will start this chaotic topic with a not so chaotic unit : the fallen. I've always been in love with Cypher, at least his lore if not his miniature. Some time ago I bought the DA guy from Deathwatch Overkill as I thought it would be a good base for a Cypher conversion. By the time I finally did the miniature, the official new Cypher had already been released but I'm still rather satisfacted by my own approach of this guy. In the meantime I decided that I could do better than selling the DA part of my Dark Vengeance box, and tried my hand at making them fallen. I aim to make them almost loyalist alike, with a subtle chaotic influence. Enough with speaking, here is my first unit alongside with Cypher : http://i.imgur.com/1NvqSK3.jpg On this unit only one guy is slowly getting under the influence of the warp, hope he is noticable enough. Cypher alone, frome the same picture but I corrected the brightness to get a more atmospheric picture : http://i.imgur.com/PC3ScdX.jpg And here is the state of my workbench for the moment : One guy got a mutated arm, the DA captain a new face and sword, and the chaplain lost his crozius for a powerfist and downgraded his plasma pistol for a more archaïc one. What to you think about them ? Some chaotic influence will be added in the painting process. I'm thining of a glowing from inside armor, and maybe smth else. Any ideas will be welcomed. As for the chaplain, I will try to make him more of an officer, as chaplains should exist back in the heresy. I'm also working on the librarian from DV but for the moment I'm not totally sure of what to do. I'm thinking that all warp related had been forbidden back in the heresy, yet some guys did kept their abilities, even if not using them. I started to remove his psychic hood and am thinking of giving him a mutated arm instead of the sword, as he should be more sensitive to the power of warp than others. What do you think ? Edit : I have trouble putting pictures of the right size directly in the topic. For the moment they are from the B&C gallery. Is it possible to link them directly in full size ? If not do anybody know a reliable image hosting website ? I noticed lately that most of them changed their policy and it's necesary to pay for any interresting service... Edit2 : trouble solved, thks @Vairocanum !
