firestorm40k Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Right, last night my wife decided to have a Strictly/X-Factor night :) so how else would you spend the evening but exiled to the dining room, to make Terminators? :P So here's the last Terminators I'm going to do, giving me three 5-man squads. Pretty obvious what they're equipped with, there's an Aspiring Champ (3rd from right) in there too, some are going to be expressly for Planetstrike games, coming down and taking out Bastions, others are just general. They're not ready for painting, GS work to do and detritus to add to the bases. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/firestorm40k/Legion%20of%20Taurus/Moar_Termiesone.jpg Tonight our little boy was in bed early, so I got the paints out and had a good stab at the Predator counts-as Devastation Chaos Cruiser. Here is a really, really crap pic of it, best I could do very quick tonight: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/firestorm40k/Chaos%20BFG%20Fleet/Predator_Crap_Pic.jpg I'll get better pics of this at a later date, but in the meantime seeing as this is done I can get on with the remaining two, which will be slightly different to this and the previous two. More pics soon, thanks for looking!

B) Ah, I remember those nights, when the Undead & the Daemons took over the t.v. (also known as Saturday nights). Great way to get some work done (though thanks to some changes here I can get some work done and watch the shows I like!) Nice work on the termies, very nice indeed. And the Cruisers look great.

firestorm40k Posted October 3, 2009 Author Share Posted October 3, 2009 Thanks very much Anarnaxe :) Well, I was very disappointed with the last pictures I got of the Cruisers, but I think that is going to be a thing of the past; for today is the beginning of a new era... ...an age of properly lighted photography... ...of pictures that are correctly focused, and not blurry... Behold, the dawning of the age of the PHOTOBOX!!! http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/firestorm40k/DSCF4447.jpg I'm still getting used to it, the first pictures I've taken all suffer from the fact I think the lights were too close to the Photobox. But anyway, here's better pictures of the Chaos cruisers I've been working on. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/firestorm40k/Chaos%20BFG%20Fleet/Traitor_Cruisers_Better.jpg Better pictures of the Predator: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/firestorm40k/Chaos%20BFG%20Fleet/Predator_Better.jpg The latest finished Cruiser, Slaughter with Mark of Khorne: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/firestorm40k/Chaos%20BFG%20Fleet/Slaughter.jpg ... and finally, pics of my pip Carnage with Mark of Nurgle: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/firestorm40k/Chaos%20BFG%20Fleet/Nurgle_Carnage_wip.jpg I've also added embellishments to the Termie's bases and made another Champion, more pics soon, thanks for looking! :ph34r: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125136-the-legion-of-taurus-a-chaos-marine-army-log/page/12/#findComment-2135215 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan The Deamon Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 I love the depth at which you've taken your army. From 40k to planetstrike to apoc to battlefleet.

Vlad III Posted October 3, 2009 Share Posted October 3, 2009 These models are brilliantly fantastic. You know, I wanted to start a legion before...somehow integrating the Red-Scorpions kit into my Chaos legion (a hell of an endeavour that's going to be) and getting the Deathguard and World Eater's stuff also from FW....but this makes me want to even more.... I have a really bad feeling....that the Legion of Arachnis may be on it's way to becoming real..... Be on the look-out for that thread and give me some ideas!

Thanks Vlad III, and I'm glad to have been an inspiration to you, I get loads of inspiration from everyone on here.

Just got to do some gs work on the axe hilt: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/firestorm40k/Legion%20of%20Taurus/Another_Champ.jpg Getting ahead of myself, I've started work on something a little different.

firestorm40k Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Could be Thousand Sons counts as? or perhaps allied Dragon Warriors from Codex CSM??? My guesses.... Got it in one, Toyship! :D Have a cookie! http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/pic/PTGPOD/826309~Chocolate-Chip-Cookie-on-White-Background-Posters.jpg These are going to be a squad of 9 'count-as' Thousand Sons. Although the background of my army is Undivided with a leaning towards a bit of Khorne and Nurgle stuff, I kept looking at the Chaos Codex and thinking what a handy unit a squad of Thousand Sons would be. But how to justify Thousand Sons in an army that contains elements of Tzeentches greatest opponents? ...so in the end I came up with the idea of a warband called 'The Brotherhood of All-Sight' that have allied itself to the Legion of Taurus. To kind of get that TS feel of them being automatons lead by a Sorceror, every Marine other than the Sorceror will have their eyes GS'd over. As with practicaly everything else in this army, they have a detailed backstory ;) but I'll add that at a later date. [As well as these, I've started work on a squad of Chosen. I also need to start on the Escort for the BFG fleet, but I keep procrastinating on them as I've no frakkin' idea how to go about scratch-building them! :P More pics soon, thanks for looking!

firestorm40k Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Okay, I had a day off today (woot!) and had the house to myself (double-woot! :rolleyes: ) so got my miniatures out and put a few things together. Before I share some pics of my current wips, please bear with me as I unveil a new stage in this Chaos Army Project: The Plan Yes, like the Cylons, I have a plan. Only it doesn't involve genocide and getting it on with Gaius Baltar... Anyway, where was I? Oh, yeah, right, the plan. Basically, it has been almost a year since I actually painted a Marine for this army. Aside from Tauran (the Greater Daemon) and 20 lesser daemons, the last thing I got painted was my Predator. Obviously, this can't go on, I need to do some painting at some point. So my plan is this - up to the end of the year I'm going to finish any squad or vehicle that I haven't yet done so, and possibly make a couple more. Then, after the new year I will endeavour to paint at least 1 unit from this army every 2 months before I construct anything else. These Legion of Taurus marines do take me a while to paint, so I'm not being over-cautious by saying I might only get one squad or tank fully painted in the space of two months! Of course, if I do get done quicker, thqt'll be a bonus... This does mean that I'm going to do a couple of units sooner than I otherwise might have - firstly, as well as the Chosen i mentioned previously, I'm going to make a squad of Plague Marines - at long last! I may also get my Land Raider out of storage and have a crack at that... Anyway, I've been working on Chosen, taking my time on them as I've repositioned some of their legs to be kneeling or running. I also put together some of the Brotherhood of All-Sight today - a Sorceror and two standard ones (that'll count as Thousand Sons): http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/firestorm40k/Legion%20of%20Taurus/BoA-S_wips_1.jpg Here's a pics to show some of their detail, the insignia that gave me the idea for them in the first place. I won a random eBay lot that had mis-advertised (I could see in the pic there was a new Space Marine Attack Bike on sprue!) at a low price, when I got it there was a load of Night Goblin components, including icons to put on shields. The on that was a star with an eye in it struck me as being a bit Chaos-looking, and I was inspired from there. You can see how I've used the icon on the shoulder pads to make their insignia in the pic below: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/firestorm40k/Legion%20of%20Taurus/BoA-S_wips_1_details.jpg I've got a few more of these to make, but inorder to finish them I need some components: If anyone has a spare Tzeentch shoulder pad from the Chaos Space Marine upgrade sprue, please contact me as I need 5 more to finish the squad! Thank you! Okay, thanks for looking (and for getting in touch if you've got any spare components :P ), more pics soon, thanks for looking! :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125136-the-legion-of-taurus-a-chaos-marine-army-log/page/12/#findComment-2144703 Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm40k Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hello, I've been in the mood to do a list lately - as I said, I have 'The Plan', here's what I hope to either assemble or finish before the end of the year: 10x Terminators: Green-stuff and touching up to do to get these ready. 2x Chosen with Boltguns - just need GS work to finish them. 5x Chosen with Meltaguns; wanting to do a couple of these kneeling, and give them slightly scenic bases. 9x Brotherhood/TS count-as; I'm waiting on an order of Dark Angel robed torsoes to do the remaining three, and also need 5 more Tzeenth shoulder pads - after that some gs work to tidy them up and make them ready for painting. 4x Standard Plague Marines 2x Plague Marines with Plasmaguns Plague Marine Champion with Power Fist and Plasma Pistol Land Raider - this will have to be partially constructed so I can paint the interior. 5x Scratchbuilt Infidel Raiders for the Chaos BFG Fleet. ...and I forgot to add to that list the 11 Marines I made back in March that need GD work on them, the Lascannon Marine conversion I started, and Charkaradon, the army Lord, who still needs a lot of work! So in total that's 41 miniatures and a tank, 20 of which (and the tank!) I've got to start work on altogether. I'm going to get the Chosen and Brotherhood/TS count-as ones done, then concentrate on the Plague Marines - I've been wanting to have a go at these for ages, and I want to do them justice. Over the last couple of nights I've been chipping away at some Chosen. I've been doing a lot of leg cutting and repositioning, which is a bit of slow job, but hopefully it'll beworth it to get kneeling Marines. Here are the first few, still needing GS work: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/firestorm40k/Legion%20of%20Taurus/some_wip_Chosen.jpg More of these to come. I mentioned that I don't have a clue about the BFG Infidel Escort conversions, well I tell a lie I have been working on them, and now have a plan of action. To start with, they're very simple - two CSM Bolters stuck together with a bit of plastic tube: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/firestorm40k/Chaos%20BFG%20Fleet/Infidels_Components.jpg I've been careful to make sure they're about the same length as an Imperial Cobra: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/firestorm40k/Chaos%20BFG%20Fleet/Infidel_Comparison.jpg So I'm making five of these. Other than a bit of tidying with GS, I think I'll use bits of thin plastic rod and BFG spares to make them look more like cruisers. More pics when I've got further with them. More pics soon, thanks very much for looking B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125136-the-legion-of-taurus-a-chaos-marine-army-log/page/12/#findComment-2152212 Share on other sites More sharing options...

firestorm40k Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 giant flying bolters??? RUN!!! Yeah, they do look just like wierd flying guns, but I'm now embarking on quite a bit of conversion work - chopped up bits, plasticard, GS sculpting - that will hopefully by-and-large disguise their true nature. Here's where I am after a night of cutting plastic rod in to tiny bits (think I hit my limit in less than an hour, do some more tomorrow! :P ) http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/firestorm40k/Chaos%20BFG%20Fleet/Infidels_wip_2.jpg More pics soon, thanks for looking! :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/125136-the-legion-of-taurus-a-chaos-marine-army-log/page/12/#findComment-2153675 Share on other sites More sharing options...

firestorm40k Posted October 24, 2009 Author Share Posted October 24, 2009 Woah... I'm away from this log for a while and people start commenting! :o i wold really like to paint some Legion of Taurus Ha! :D Be my guest, the more ranks to the legion the better. I must admit, I'm sort of not looking forward to getting stuck in to the back-log I've created on this army, though... :unsure: Looking good, keep at it. Also, I have 1 Shoulder pad and the Tzeentch banner top, PM me. Thanks, I've PM'd you! If anyone else has those Tzeenth-y shoulder pads going spare, please contact me! B) It'd go a long way to making them look less like bolters if you removed the iron sights and filled in the grip. Yeah, I'm still working on them, I've been adding bits of plasticard to them this week. I left the sights as I'm going to make some tail-fins out of plasticard, and the sights will sort of be the 'base' for them, if that makes sense. In a practical sense they'll be handy to mount the fin exactly central to the model, if you get what I mean... As for the grip, I left them on the model to add some texture and detail, though not all will have them, some will have plasticard over them just to break up the look of this little squadron. Oh, I should point out my silly ship-classification error in my previous posts: these are not Infidels; they're actually Iconoclasts - the little gunboats, not the torpedo ones, right? Ok, cleared that one up... :P I'll get some pics of where I've got up to with these later on the weekend. Thanks for looking!

Tomorrow my wifes in Uni, my little boy's in Nursery so I'll get a couple of hours to myself to crack on with the Green Stuff work on the Chosen (there are two kneeling ones that are still too wip to show).

It\'s easier with the Imperial ones, they\'re all given names that start with different letters! :) So after my correction yesterday, I need to, erm, correct the correction :) :$ and state that they\'re actually Iconoclasts: http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/...dId=prod1740001 Today I got the Green Stuff out and did some detailing work on the Chosen - for the most part, they\'re finished, apart from the two kneeling ones that still need finishing and extra detailing; and that I need 4 Shoulder pads - if anyone has a spare Chaos Space Marine Shoulder pad, the ones with skulls on, and is willing to trade, please get in touch! Right, pic: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c274/firestorm40k/Legion%20of%20Taurus/Chosen_90_Percent.jpg I\'ll get some individual shots at a later date. Back to the Chaos Escorts (Iconoclasts, I think ;) ) I started work on sculpting their prows today - and have quickly decided to give up on sculpting them as a bad job! Time to improvise, I think some cut-up sprue is the order of the day. More pics soon, thanks for looking!
