Muskie Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 My own guide to painting Word Bearers is also proceeding slowly. TDA I cranked mine out in less than 24 hours and I'd never painted a Hakanor's Reaver or even a black Chaos Space Marine in my life. It's not like winning a GD... Oh well hopefully some of these are worth waiting for. Did the Alpha Legion ever get taken? I thought I scared up someone but I haven't heard from him in a few days, maybe he doesn't come to B&C that often.

I've heard nothing about it since your last post, so the AL tutorial is still up for grabs - if anyone wants . :nuke: Edit: as we're nearing a relative state of completion, I've added links to the Handbook in stickied posts - in all of the Chaos Forums.

Muskie Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Sad that the Alpha Legion players haven't stepped up. Just goes to show they are not as devoted to Chaos as they profess to be. The Dark Gods are fickle masters and will surely disert them at opportune moments mocking them as they do. Maybe in the summer I'll do Dragon Knights or whatever the red one with scales was, that seemed cool and it had no Purple or Green. Probably harder to paint than the Hakanor's Reavers too. I'm still waiting for a Hakanor's Reavers army to appear. The Purge seem popular or just Nurgle in general.

Brother Nihm Posted February 25, 2008 Author Share Posted February 25, 2008 Those Alphas are sneaky indeed, I've just received a strongly encrypted communique from an undercover Alpha Legionnaire, promising me that a tutorial will be created. I agree with you Muskie, in that the Purge, and Nurgle in general seems to be the most but, maybe it's because of the lack of painting guides for the new and more rare warbands? :lol: Regardless, thanks to you we have the first Hakanor's Reaver painting guide in history! <_< Also in the news, The Interchangeable Icon tutorial will be added to the Primer, as soon as I receive final feedback from Reaper31. Next up from me is one of the following: Expanded Math-hammer section. Night Lords painting tutorial.

minigun762 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Not attempting to toot my own horn (well maybe not too much :) ) but I recently posted up a beginner's guide to Chaos called "Aspiring Champion's Handbook". Hopefully it will be a helpful resource to new and old Chaos players alike.

Muskie Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Warseer seems to have more Googlejuice but I gave up on that place a long time ago. Too many :cusss, too few moderators. They talk about doing up Hakanor's Reavers but I aint seen one but mine painted. Maybe I'll have to paint him 5 squad mates. I'm thinkin' four missile launchers and an icon bearer based on the multiple blastmarkers from a squad rule. The sad part was I had squads with multiple missile launchers and used them extensively in the Diseased Sons in 2nd edition, especially with Radiation Missiles they were part of my insideous plans. But I stripped those models after years of sitting unused and now Nurgle Renegades with Heavy Weapons are back. I'll repaint better than ever, plus more undivided forces. I also think Tzeentch Havocs make the most sense if you have no scruples. I think the B&C has more and probably better painters that hang out on it than Warseer. Warseer is for all the armies more, but I mainly post here now (Chaos Ascendant) and in PC&A. Does Warseer even have a painting forum? They seem to be mostly about arguing...

Muskie Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I found this tutorial by Googling. At some other forum... However an even cooler lava armor where the guy highlights the black magma chunks with grey and is clearly trying to win some sort of painting contest rather than get a tutorial done in under 24 hours... Oh and it's in Dannish, but pictures don't need translation. You have to scroll down a bit...

Muskie Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Damn Scandinavians. :-) I've known a few over the years, so I figured what the hell, the picture is nice though he still has a long way to go on the Defiler. Sometimes people start these elaborate paint schemes but don't finish them. A model isn't done until it is based and sealed... Even then I often add extra detail later like campaign badges.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 As soon as I can get my digital camera to work, I'll post some wip pics of my new Iron Warriors lord conversion.

Brother Nihm Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Muskie & Kage, I've deleted the posts as they didn't add anything constructive to the thread and to prevent a complete derailing. I respect you guys but I must ask you to take it to PM's (and please keep it clean :)). Brother Chaplain Kage, As mentioned earlier, I'd be very happy if you would cook up an IW Painting Tutorial for the Handbook. The one I was promised a few months ago was never delivered (which is what Muskie is referring to). Also, Kaleb Daark's AL painting tutorial has been added.

Brother Nihm Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Bump, The Handbook is still in need of your contributions. If you find an item on the first page that you'd like to do, or if you come up with a new one - please let me know.

Muskie Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 I could do another tutorial in a couple weeks, but I went to the first page and I can't figure out what is taken. I don't have my codex with me. I think Dragon Warriors are cool, I'm tempted to do metallic red scales or slightly metallic scales. But the color scheme I could go to town on is the guys with all the weird runes on their armor. They are black and red with gold runes. Anyone call them? They are almost as cool as the Hakanor's Reavers. I'm still waiting for the first person to follow the tutorial and post the results. I bought foundation Orange but it is pretty brown, I think if I would have done a little post-production on the photos it would be even better, I thought you might do some. That guy whatever his name said it was too orange, there is hardly any orange, that model is black, black, black. I must have put about ten coats of black on it. The paint is pretty thick in some areas, but I wanted it good an evil. Still waiting for the Iron Warriors. I mean no one is going to top the Alpha Legion, or are they? I think any tutorial in this thread should be doable in only a couple of hours. I mean, I could try to recollect how I painted Leperous, but I think it took like two or three months. Lots of highlights and lots of glazes and washes just on the armor... My Hakanor's Reavers tutorial used a bit too many pots of paint, but I knew that and all you have to do is use one red, orange, and yellow and you should get similar results. You can even leave out the washes and glazes...

Muskie Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I think it is the Bleak Brotherhood that I mean, black, red trim, with gold writing. Easy their symbol looks like the Night Lords you could even use Night Lords transfers and bits I imagine. They also look Tzeentchian with all the mystic writing on their armor. I don't know if they have any fluff I don't care. I can paint a dude like that. I'm even going to convert him some to be cool. I'm thinking twin lightning claws... Gotta build them as they only make a plastic one for the right and the other option is terminators... I gots a plan, but I need to go to my mother's to get the parts. Maybe I'll have to do 4 or 5 renegade schemes, besides the Purge no one seems to be doing many of them.

Brother Nihm Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hey, Noone's taken either so you're welcome to do what you want. :P I'll see if I can go back and manipulate the photos for the Hakanor's tutorial but due to the lighting I'm not sure that they can be improved much.

Muskie Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I'll hold off on the Bleak Brotherhood, they are a green fire chapter. I already decided purple fire is the coolest. I did a lot of tests using Night Goblins. I want the other Brotherhood, same page, bottom left corner, no helmet. Then if I do another one I got the next punks picked out they are red and black too. I'm going to give that Foundation Red a workout, but so far the foundation paints taste terrible. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/118611-the-chaos-lords-handbook/page/5/#findComment-1532423 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 So I'm building the model for the tutorial. I may have been too ambitious in my conversion. I was seriously cursing at the green stuff today. My question is what color is the tubing? The model is basically black and red with gold runes. I think the tubing is a dark reddy brown. Any other thoughts?

Sception Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 Should there be a section in the chaos primer specifically dedicated to Apocalypse games? Chaos Marines have a lot of special characters, most of which seem more appropriate to include in Apocalypse games. Chaos has a lot of options specifically for Apocalypse - including more datasheets then anyone else, especially when you count any appropriate imperial datasheets. Several of the old legions are better represented in apocalypse (from datasheets specifically made for Emperor's Children or Thousand sons to just taking imperial basilisks in Iron Warrior armies), and with the new daemon book Apocalypse will allow aligned daemons to be included in Chaos Marine armies. LatD only really seems to work in Apocalypse these days as well. Seems like a lot of stuff worth considering separately from general chaos or general apocalypse discussions.

Gree Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I've got a submission of my own. With the supply of a massive amount of new geneseed. (Courtesy of the Iron Warriors: see Storm of Iron) We have a large amount of new Black Legionaries and other recruits eager to serve the despoiler. So the question that everyone is asking is…. Why play Black Legion? Simple, you are the best. The Black Legion in the greatest of the Chaos legion, the most dangerous legion that the Imperium must face. They are the archetypical chaos legion with all the strength of chaos. They are Horus’s own legion. They were the personal guard of the warmaster. They might not have been the first to turn to chaos in the heresy but they where the one’s who spearheaded. Horus was the best of the primarchs, no one could compare to him, and that extends to you as well. Who else would have discovered how to gain the upper hand in daemonic possession and learn the secrets of all four cult legions? You will be led by Abbadon, the most powerful chaos lord. Or by one of his lieutenants, all ancient veterans of the Horus Heresy and terrifying warriors. You even invented the Defiler. You are the greatest in the heresy and after the heresy you continue to be the best. To be one of the Warmaster’s chosen is to be the elite, no other force can compare to your skill in war. In battle you have all the options of the Chaos codex, you can have a perfectly valid reason for having Berzerkers march alongside Noise Marines with a squad blessed by Nurgle led by a Chaos lord of Tzeentch. Even the members of other legions and chapters have joined you, swearing service to he Black Legion and wearing their colors. Others merely ally with you, following your lead in battle. A Black Legion army has a striking color scheme with many variants. When your opponent looks upon your army he knows that you are EVIL. There is no confusing with names like the Emperor’s Children or Thousand Sons. You are bad to the bone and proud of it. If someone dares accuse you of being Chaos ultramarines then you have no choice but to send their souls screaming to the Dark Gods with Abaddon patting you on the back saying ‘’Good job (Insert name here)’’ So pick up your bolter and chainsword and don that suit of black power armor and prepare to the join the Black Companies, I’ll see you on Cadia.

I think the tubing is a dark reddy brown. Any other thoughts?It's a dark (Fortress) grey and the soft armour is purple. @malisteen You're more than welcome to write up an apocalypse guide, it wasn't a part of the initial scope for the Primer but it could be a worthy addition. @Gree, Thank you so much it's exactly what I was looking for, consider it swiped. Now all we need is one for the rest of the legions. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/118611-the-chaos-lords-handbook/page/5/#findComment-1543874 Share on other sites More sharing options...
