Razormind Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Hi all, New to Bolter and Chainsword, or rather new to posting really. I have slowly been working on my Chaos Black Legion force. Below are the pics of what I have done so far. Note that I prefer playing over painting any day, but the comments and criticisms motivate me nonetheless to paint as I prefer a painted force over bare plastic/metal on the tabletop any day. Fire away! :-) HeadQuarters are going to be a Chaos Lord with jump pack (not built yet) and this Demon Prince http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3082/2857575640_d85a0ae756.jpg Elites so far are some Chosen, just space marines with meltas and flamers :-) I have them built and painted, but dont have pics yet Troops http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3069/2793967454_78af74f52c_b.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2320/2271865885_de291978de_b.jpg Plague Marines and Gooey their pet Spawn http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3258/2775489253_9013b1a53e_b.jpg Their transport http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3106/2779230207_18316a834a_b.jpg Fast attack homemade Raptors with Icon of Khorne http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3015/2769029144_e3f7f3a271_b.jpg Got this Greater Daemon on the cheap at my FLGS sale (yeah he aint GW stuff, but the sword is a Nid Scything Talon :P and that is a dead Ultramarine in his hand http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2179/2272658764_97e528d3de_b.jpg Defiler is not fully painted yet http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3189/2856808797_953583f2a3.jpg?v=0 Objective marker http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3265/2793117121_36eb25f914_b.jpg some built Spawn, they get a paint job next http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3185/2856808937_331754db2e_b.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146405-standard-chaos-army-new-to-boards/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus Thane Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Looks great. Glad to see another Black Legionnary around! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146405-standard-chaos-army-new-to-boards/#findComment-1698281 Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetfireUK Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 For someone who considers themself not to be a painter you have some nicely painted figures there. The only thing that I think that could be added would be something on the bases as the figures deserve it. Any chance of a close up on your demon prince?

Shiodome Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 if you're not 'into' painting as much, a bit of time spent on bases will have a big impact on the look of your army for less time investment. so you could get away with keeping the painting simple and neat, and still look great from normal viewing distance (a couple of meters). looking good regardless though :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146405-standard-chaos-army-new-to-boards/#findComment-1698450 Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarInHeaven Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 i have got no idea how you made the objective marker, bit i like it! on the mariens, using the slaanesh head to represent a nurgly champion, nice! just a litle question, why are there some dark angels sholder pads on the mariens and are there so many speciale weapons in the first squad? besides that, practise on your paint skills and you will do fine Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146405-standard-chaos-army-new-to-boards/#findComment-1698715 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razormind Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Thanks for the comments! The one marine has a dark angel shoulder pad because my son plays them, so I told him one of his marines went bad and works for me now :-) The objective marker is a mini I got on the cheap, it is a reaper mini, Pillar of Evil: Pillar of Evil The squads are mixed up, they are not actually fielded like that, it was just how I ended up painting them that day and took the photos. Basing, yeah, I need to do that, was thinking the sandy look on the Pillar of Evil would contrast nicely, and be easy to do too. Front and Back of the Deamon Prince http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3042/2857576472_486470bac9_b.jpg http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3199/2856745337_8c1db9864b_b.jpg and if your bored, my flickr site with some historical stuff (Play Warmaster Ancients, Check your 6!) also some Battlefleet Gothic stuff and pics of my current army, Nids.

firestorm40k Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 This army looks good! I find it hard to highlight black effectively, but you've really pulled it off ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/146405-standard-chaos-army-new-to-boards/#findComment-1708584 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonham1963 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Looking good! Oddly enough, I purchased a Daemon Prince and Lord with jumppack this afternoon (hadn't seen your post yet). I have raptors that could use some oomph, so I'm going to put my other Lord on the sidelines. He had pair of lightning claws, but new lord should get to the action that much quicker and he has lightning claws, as well. Except, for the nurgle stuff, my CSM army is looking pretty much the same. I'm using squad of khorne beserkers instead. Good luck with the army.

Razormind Posted September 29, 2008 Author Share Posted September 29, 2008 Thanks all, assembled the Chaos Lord with Jump pack today (man, just feels like the pack is going to knock it over on that tiny base :-) Also, assembled the Great Unclean One, he was a pain in the butt to assemble, pinning all over the place. All I have left is to paint the Chaos Lord and get me three oblits.
