Muskie Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I'll do a painting tutorial, I'll even offer to do any legion/chapter/renegade whatcha ma callit. I'll go home on Thanksgiving an build a model, maybe I'll even officially buy one of the new boxes of Chaos Space Marines, I think I'm running out of legs or torsos or something. Let me know which chapter or whatever you want, how many pictures you want, what size, how high of standard do you want it painted to etc. Someone already called Deathguard, but I never really painted Deathguard so it don't matter, I can paint anything, plus every now and then you need to challenge yourself.

Maximillian Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I am working on the IW painting guide I promised. I 'm only annoyed I don't currently have my camera with me so pictures may be a bit late... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I'll do the Hakanor's Reavers, no one else will do them, I think I got it all figured out. I even bought the new plastics just for this little project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muskie Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 One, Hakanor's Reaver. Painting a whole squad would take three times as long or more. I aim to bang this out in a week. I bought a new box of guys because I want to only use bits in the box so any fool could try to duplicate the model. The problem is all my paints or most of them are out of print. I think the model is black, chainmail and bone with the lava effect. So you need like 2 reds, 2 oranges, and 2 yellows. You'll need a grey and a dark blue, plus some accent colors for the backpack and bone trim and you always need white. It shouldn't matter what colors you actually use. Do you want it has an HTML file or a text file and a bunch of pictures or an actual B&C post? Where do you want me to stick the images, I'd prefer just to email it all to you, then you can edit it and put it wherever you like. I'll spell check it and make sure the images are reasonable to go inline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heru Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 *Deathmongers (previously the scheme of the Warp Ghosts) The Warp Ghosts are still around by the fluff, even though the Deathmongers now use the same scheme. See page 18 of the CSM Codex, entry Bleak Brotherhood (listed as a Possible Warp Ghosts faction). The general issue in this area is not that the group in question is renamed or removed from fluff, but it's more to do with the fact the person writing the page is too lazy to look up who the group originally was (it's the same with the Night Stalkers who are using the same scheme, and same model as the Damned Company of Lord Caustos). The same thing usually happens with the SM Codex (see Revilers who had their pads painted black, and their Chapter symbol slightly altered and ended up being called Relictors). It's an annoying GW quirk which I think may have more to do with the page writer not wanting to step on the toes of the original group (if they have established fluff or not - the writer doesn't likely know unless he made the original SM/CSM group). Oh and also this would be closer to the Iron Warriors Pre-heresy scheme, as seen in the actual Index Astartes Article (Dirty tin'ish colour) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 There is a painted Hakanor's Reaver in the new Codex, but it is kinda a black and red Nightlord. I like the way it looks in the drawing which is what I'm going to do. In the drawing the shoulder pad trim looks almost bone too me, but in the painted model I guess they are gold or brass. It isn't a big deal lots of people have variant schemes but do you want the shoulder pad trim bone color or a metalic color, I could maybe get a yellowed bone color... We'll see how the Kakano'r Reaver goes but if no one steps up maybe I'll have to do an Alpha Legionaire. I know there are real Alpha Legion players, I didn't think there would be anyone who plays Hakanor's Reavers yet and I think I can paint one well and there won't even be any green or purple. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though admittedly there are multiple ways to paint Hakanor's Reavers seeing as the painted version in the Codex sports silver instead of gold.

SpideyScott Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 I would like to see a tactica on playing chaos against other armies, in particular daemon hunters, witch hunters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minigun762 Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 One thing I found really useful in the old tactica portion was a brief rundown of each unit, strengths, weaknesses, possible uses on the battlefield. EDIT: Ohh didn't notice that Mutt already got one up, pretty good little read I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allerka Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 The Librarium is looking for material on how to paint horns, as there haven't been any tutorials posted here on the B&C, or made by GW yet (Surprising, yes), and, obviously, they form a major component of CSM models (Unless you don't use them, of course). So, if you happen to have a particularly effective/quick/fancy/etc. method for painting horns, feel free to send it along, and it'll get added to both the Primer and the Librarium. Thanks. :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpideyScott Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 thanks so when added to the list it take it thats a list of things to do rather than actually appearing in the tactica just now?

Redbaron997 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Great Tactica, Spelling error on the Noise Marine section. It says with when talking about sonic blasters when it should say without. Great Job though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutt-Man! Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Eh, so I was sick and didnt proofwrite much of it. It's quoted so I cant really do much about it.

minigun762 Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Hey Brother Nihm, would it be redundant to maybe post up another tactica/unit list just to give another perspective on things? No sleight to Mutt-Man at all, but other people may have other insights into certain units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sleight to Mutt-Man at all, but other people may have other insights into certain units. By all means go ahead. If we get enough material I'll convert them to articles, submit them to the librarium and link to them in the Primer. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
