Gargantuan Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 I've finally made some progress. :) WIP lord http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/6576/chaoslordqw1.jpg Assembled chaos space marines, no champ, special and heavy weapons yet since my list isn't done. This pic also shows my nice cluttered table. :P My Icon of chaos glory is more subtle than the big banner. ;) http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/4508/pict2950gh7.jpg I've also made my first beastman cultist. :) http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/3264/pict2948qt2.jpg http://img167.imageshack.us/img167/2971/pict2949cq9.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142310-alpha-legion-army-blog/page/2/#findComment-1661193 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick O))) Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Really neatly done :tu: I'm not particularly convinced by the beastman with the plate across his belly, but having looked at it for longer and reading more into his pose I think it's fine, though still not a choice I'd have made myself. I like my beast men lean and brutal :drool: just like the rest of yours! The GS work is neat and clean, very well done And I can say the same for the lord paint-work. The blue you have is really nice and sits well in between the silvers.

Patrick O))) Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Perhaps keep the stomach plate, but have it slung to one side? For instance curving under the left arm whilst still protecting the stomach area. In the gap that will remain on his right side, you could have bare muscle?

Gargantuan Posted August 13, 2008 Author Share Posted August 13, 2008 Patrick: I've changed the champ. He'll have no chest or stomach armour but I'll add some heads and/or skulls on his belt. I will post a pic when he's done. Martok: Thanks! ^_^ I'm glad that you like it. If anybody wants to know what parts I used for my obliterator, just ask. I'll be happy to help ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142310-alpha-legion-army-blog/page/2/#findComment-1662437 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargantuan Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 Sorry for the lack of updates. School has started again so I haven't been able to do much. I really need to get this army done before the 18th october so I can have a fully painted army in my first tournament. Not much progress on the beastmen but I've started working on a dread. He was a sorcerer before he got terribly wounded and put into a stolen imperial dread. I will try to get as much movement into the dread as possible. http://img177.imageshack.us/img177/4557/pict2969pj0.jpg http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/4948/pict2971vq6.jpg http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/7988/pict2973sj2.jpg Sorry for the bad pics.

Gargantuan Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 everythings looking really good! That drednought really captures the whole chaos hating being entombed feel! Thanks! :) I want him to look like he's very pissed and charging someone. Here's my plasma cannon. I chopped off the twin lascannons and added a plasma cannon from the devastator sprue. http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/3231/pict2985iz1.jpg Here's his pose. The plasma cannon arm isn't glued on yet and I now have to connect the legs to the torso. http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/783/pict2979uz9.jpg http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/3231/pict2982vv5.jpg I'm once again sorry about the bad pics Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142310-alpha-legion-army-blog/page/2/#findComment-1676547 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Chaplain Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 well, that dread is quite something to behold-- the scope of movement coming from the piece is incredible. what are your plans to make it look more, legionnaire? at the moment it seems a little vanilla chaos (that seems oxymoronic to me :) ) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142310-alpha-legion-army-blog/page/2/#findComment-1676552 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will make it more chaotic later once I get all the limbs connected. I want to make the armour plates next to the sarcophagus look more like the chaos dread but I'm not very good at plasticard. Edit: I need some help with the dread close combat weapon. I want it to look more brutal but I don't know how to do that. Suggestions are very welcome.

The_Chaplain Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 this would be really hard to do, but get a space marine torso with a pair of assault marine running legs. glue it/pin it in place so that the marine is being dangled upside down. for the head bit, get a skull of some sort and gs flames around it, starting from the flamer nozzle the end result? "neener neener i'm burning your face off, how you like me now?"

"neener neener i'm burning your face off, how you like me now?" It would look really cool but it's to much work for me. Edit: I saw these two while looking for inspiration. I really like the assault drill and I will try to copy it. If I fail at doing a good looking drill then I will try to make a claw similar to that world eaters one. http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/sdread.htm http://www.coolminiornot.com/167668 Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142310-alpha-legion-army-blog/page/2/#findComment-1676660 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gargantuan Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 I made a claw similar to the world bearers one. I unfortunately didn't manage to get a pic of it since my camera battery is now empty. I did however get a pic of the work I've done on the legs. What do you guys think of the shield? It isn't glued on yet. I will cut the hydrolics tomorrow when the glue has completely dried. http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/5025/pict2988zi2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142310-alpha-legion-army-blog/page/2/#findComment-1676744 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gargantuan Posted August 30, 2008 Author Share Posted August 30, 2008 :D I'm loving it even more. now get it done or else.... ;) Don't worry, I'll get it done. :P I've glued the plasma cannon arm on but I'm still recharging the camera battery so no pics until tomorrow. Then I can start doing more details and make it more like a proper chaos dread.

Gargantuan Posted August 31, 2008 Author Share Posted August 31, 2008 I've been having trouble with imageshack today so I had to get a photobucket account :) Here's the power claw. http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr357/91Gargantuan/PICT2992.jpg I wasn't happy with this pose... http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr357/91Gargantuan/PICT2991.jpg ... so I changed to this one. It's much more aggresive imo. http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr357/91Gargantuan/PICT2997.jpg http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr357/91Gargantuan/PICT2998.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142310-alpha-legion-army-blog/page/2/#findComment-1677438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chainaxe_of_Khorne Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I like the second version of your dreadnought better. more movement and agressiveness to it.

Gargantuan Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 Updates... The beastmens looted rhino WIP: http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr357/91Gargantuan/PICT3011.jpg http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr357/91Gargantuan/PICT3012.jpg I don't know which chapter they've stolen the tank from. Any suggestions? I'm thinking of painting it either as a Ultramarinse or Dark Angels rhino. I've also done some work on my beastmen. Here's the Icon of Khorne bearer. I will do a freehand khorne symbol on the banner. http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr357/91Gargantuan/PICT3015.jpg Here's the flamer dude. http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr357/91Gargantuan/PICT3017.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/142310-alpha-legion-army-blog/page/2/#findComment-1684136 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gargantuan Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 I've finished building my first beastmen squad. My second beastmen squad will count as Khorne Berzerkers and will only be gors except for the icon bearer who will be a daemon possessed ungor. Heavy bolter ungor, I just need to add a barrel. http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr357/91Gargantuan/PICT3025.jpg Bad group pic, sorry http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr357/91Gargantuan/PICT3031.jpg This is what I've painted so far. Once again sorry about the bad pic. They are a bit darker in real life. http://i499.photobucket.com/albums/rr357/91Gargantuan/PICT3034.jpg Edit: The bases aren't done yet.
