chaplainmikey Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 So i've started my chaos army,and once everything i have is assembled and converted,i'll have a good 2250pts. Here is what i have: 20 chaos marines 24 Berzerkers 5 plague marines 9 thousand sons 5 terminators 5 possessed 1 rhino 1 vindicator 1 dreadnought 2 obliterators 5 raptors 8 havocs As you can see i'm still missing my hq choice as im have a tough time deciding between a daemon prince or a terminator lord. Anyway,onto pics: Squad 1 http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell218.jpg Havocshttp://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell217.jpg Raptors http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell216.jpg WIP dread http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell219.jpg Vindicator http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell215.jpg plague marines http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell214.jpg Rhino and Berzerkers http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell213.jpg Army shot as it stands http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell212.jpg And off course,the 1 marine ive finished: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell207.jpg So as you can see i have a fair bit of painting to doo,and i'm hoping to get a decent portion finished before Xmas. Thanks for reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 As you can see i'm still missing my hq choice as im have a tough time deciding between a daemon prince or a terminator lord. Hakanor's ReaversLeader: Hakanor [Daemon Prince], formerly Chapter Master Prometian. See, it's decided for you!Seriously though, you can't have Hakanor's Reavers without the big guy himself, right? Plus, it would make for great modelling opportunities. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Yeah with the chapter being lead by a deamon prince i was leaning towards one to be honest,but then i really like the plastic terminator lord. Daemon prince is most liely my next purchase then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Commander Macarian Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 Why not take both? :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_bunny Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 go for both :D! or convert your own DP. looking good so far, I like the dreadnought! and great painting so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'm going to go with the Daemon prince,afterall it's more in character with the chapter and someone posted a brilliant idea about using the balrog as a basis of the conversion. Started 2 more marines earlier,and i'm going to start on the vindicator and plague marines during my 3 day weekend(yay!). So i'll post pics once i've made some commentable progress.

Captain Malachi Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Looking good, can't wait to see that blarog conversion you have in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Here is the latest progress on the painting front: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell223.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell222.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell221.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell220.jpg Obviously not as much done as i'd like,but once i get some stuff undercoated tomorrow(god i hope it doesn't rain!) i'll be painting 8 marines,a vindicator,a rhino and 5 plague marines! :unsure: So expect some new pics! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Looking good, and you going to paint all that in one day? <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Did you ever read the tutorial I did? There is one by Lone Wolf I think on lava bases too. Your army should of course be led by the Demon Prince Hakaanor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Yeah,i'm going to try. The rhino will be painted in Thousand sons colours though because it's the taxi for the squad of Thousand sons i have. But the vindicator is going to be painted in the reaver scheme,so should be fun and easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asmodeus' Swordhand Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 lovely. this is something I will be watching. And the balrog prince sounds ace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormDragon Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I really like the dread and the painting so far looks great. I'll be looking forward to seeing this army completed - even if they are filthy traitors :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Here are some WIP shots of what i did earlier tonight: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell224.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell225.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell226.jpg Hoping to finish this lot off tonight or tomorrow and then it's onto the vindi before more reavers and plague marines! :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorns Padawan Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Dude i love your Dread!!!!! That look a wicked yet simple little conversion! Like your paint job also, great work so far! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acerbus Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 very nice job on the lava effect, looking forard to more painted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Didn't get as much done over the weekend as i'd liked to have,but this is the progress i've made thus far: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell227.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell228.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell229.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell230.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell231.jpg So they are almost finished,just a few things left to do. I still need to paint the implaed loyalist marine helmet on the banner bearers trophy spike,so does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Should get these finished today,and hopefully make some more progress with the Vindi. Cheers for looking guys,and thank you for all the great comments! <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Your freehand is excellent, as for the loyalist marine, might I suggest salamanders? Has a slight irony to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Thanks for the comment Captain Malachi,and good idea with the Salamanders chapter,a good bit of irony always helps with chaos! Here are some WIP shots of a lord in PA for the 1K army i'm planning to have finished by X-mas. http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell233.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell234.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell232.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/FROM-hell235.jpg Now he's toting a Deamon weapon,and i thought it was only right that i gave him a deamonic scythe,so i fashioned one from the icon pole and one of the berzerker scabbards. Now obviously it's still WIP. I'm planning to make it look semi-organic to represent the fact that its a weapon with a deamon bound inside. Also i'm gonna extend the blade a little bit and try to get it looking a bit nastier. Any ideas on how to model the scythe would be helpful and i'm always on the look out for ideas for other weapons that my other characters can carry. Cheers for reading! :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganuus Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Looks pretty sweet to me! I love the lightning claw on the one champ, well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disistablishmentarianism Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Love the lava? effect. Also I didn't even realise that the scythe was a conversion! Nice!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha PTP Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Very cool looking. I love the freehand you do all over their armor. It is going to bring a ton of character to your army when it is all said and done, mate. I'll be watching this thread with great interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Malachi Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Nice work on the scythe, I agree it could be bigger though, not sure how you'll do that. For another weapon idea, I've always been a big fan of huge maces, especially on nurgle lords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanan Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 ok first things first, i love the painting, the lava/cracked armour effect rocks something awesome!!! now secondly that Dread look really nice, id like to borrow that idea for my Legion of the Damned, and i also love the way youre using loyalist bitz with your Chaos Marines. awesome work man. keep it coming. ~high fives you~. catch you later. peace -][- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
