Rob_Loken Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Hi all, I thought I would post some pictures of my Chaos army, The Nameless Dead. What you see here is only a small part of a much larger force because my camera died and I have to wait for new batteries. :pinch: So here for your honest C&C is some of my army. We'll start with a bad army pic And then we'll move on to my Apostle (Terminator Lord) And then the 1st Squad of the 2nd Co. who act as his meat shield And finally (for now), the 1st Squad of the 5th Co. who act as my sorcerers meat shield Hopefully I will have new batteries tomorrow so I will add the rest of the army later. And better pics of the 1st Squad of the 2nd Co. Thanks for looking. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151399-the-nameless-dead-legion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 First off, I really like your Apostle. Nice use of the Termie Lord parts and the helmet you chose is a nice touch. My first thought is that you've done a nice job of posing and getting some basic colors on your figures. You could add some flocking/sand to the bases, paint that up and call it done and the whole army would look quite nice. However, you could also take just a little bit more time and do some detailing to help break out some of the details like the horns on the helmets, maybe paint the side of the bolter casing, that kind of stuff to help some of the details stand out. Do you have a chapter/legion symbol in mind for the shoulder pads? That might be a nice detail to add as well.

StormDragon Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I'm loving your Apostle, he looks really good with that helmet :tu: The rest of your army looks good too, but I agree with Honda adding a few extra details like painting the bolter casings and horns a different colour would make them look even better.

Rob_Loken Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Cheers I'll certainly give it a look. I know they're quite plain but you're right I'll give the horns a little something extra. I have got a symbol for them but couldn't get a photo before the camera died. So tonight when the batteries are fully charged I'll get a pic. Basically it's just the F rune from the Elder Futhark runic alphabet. No real reason I just liked it. Thanks for the C&C as it can only help improve the army.

chaplainmikey Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I really like these,the scheme is nice and they are really well done. I do agree with the others those,the horns painted differently would really finish these guys up. The termie lord is ace by the way!

Rob_Loken Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Cheers for the posts guys, gives me the impetus to carry on. As promised I have more photos to show everyone. So with out further ado. 2nd Squad 2nd Co. and their Rhino 3rd Squad 2nd Co. 3rd Squad 2nd Co. Rhino Apostle Kruddas 5th Co. 5th Co. 2nd Squad Hopefully you can see the chapter symbol. If not I'm gonna have to try harder! All squads are going to have a banner displaying the Squad mark to better identify squads on the ground. The Rhinos carry the same marks as the squads they carry. The only squads who wont have banners are the assault squad (5th Co 2nd Squad) and the Terminators (when I get round to them). You can't see it but the Assault Squads Sergeant has the squads marking on his left shoulder pad. They have loyalist backpacks because they are less visible making it easier for them to move in to position without being detected. I'll get round to putting some of the fluff for these guys soon.

Brother Richard Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 okay..I gotta admit that at first look, I was like...this must be a WIP with all that unpainted primer grey then I noticed the details and wow! This is one of those color schemes that doesn't look painted when it really is, and painted well. I did see your runic F emblem, but if you are still accepting comments/suggestions I would use a different color.. maybe even a red or something that would really make it 'pop'. Right now they still kindof have that unfinished feel for a hall of honor post.

Valhallan Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Your apostles look awesome. I agree with the guy above. Its a scheme you wouldnt think would work but it really does. Good job.

Rob_Loken Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Cheers, I wanted to have a fairly monochrome look, with just a few basic details, but I see where people are coming from when they say I could add some more details. The rune was supposed to be an attempt at a fiery glow, I think for the next lot that I'll give it an basecoat of black to make it look a bit more 3D. I was thinking because I don't want the horns and such to look like growths I would either give them a lighter silver and hold back a little on the Badab Black Wash or go for a different metallic colour all together, I'm just not sure What do you guys think.? I'm trying to include as many non-horned heads as possible but without resorting to loyalist helmets. But it's just not chaos without some horns in it. I'll get around basing the rest of the army tomorrow and hopefully have the next squad up and done.

Rob_Loken Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Apologies for the double post but whilst I was waiting for my new squads undercoat to dry. I took some advice and added some colour to the horns. I have shamelessly pilfered Metcalfedans awesome metallic blue idea and did a second rate reproduction on the horns. Cheers Metcalfedan, cheers. I'm thinking of having different horn colours dependent on the Company so the 5th will have blue, the 2nd will have green and so on.

chaplainmikey Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 The blue horns do look alot bett then plain silver i think,it just sperates the silver and the blue ties it in with the shoulder pads. Good luck mate! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151399-the-nameless-dead-legion/#findComment-1762895 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As promised some time ago, I have finally completed my 3rd Squad of 5th Company. and I've just bought some Termis so thats this weekend sorted. Anyway on to the pics. first the group shot then a close up on the sarg and fellow baldie and the running man and a close up of the ubiquitous Skeleton head marine.
