chaplainmikey Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Hi! :P A couple of weeks ago i started to build a Chaos Space Marines army,and for my scheme i decided upon the black legion(i was reading horus rising at the time :P ). Now i've decided to add some colour and a theme to my growing force by making them worshippers of Slaanesh,which has always been one of my favourite gods. I'm going to be working on some fluff for my force,basically the warband will be comprised of black legion marines and a core of veteran slaanesh worshippers with an allied Emp Children contingent. Anyway,onto pics: Terimator lord with twin lightning claws and mark of Slaanesh: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_ummmm005.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_ummmm004.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_ummmm003.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_ummmm002.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_ummmm001.jpg First marine squad,still needs bumping to 10 models: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_blacklegion002-1.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_blacklegion005-1.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_ummmm008.jpg Second squad,assault based,will probably reach 7 marines strong,and still need basing: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_ummmm007.jpg And the army as a whole at the minute: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_ummmm006.jpg In the middle of the last pic you can see the PIP on my small chosen of slaaensh squad called 'The Swords Of Slaanesh',which will be a fun unit with 4 power weapons and a flamer and will also form a bodyguard for my lord in PA when i've assembled/converted him(using the Games day warriors model). I hope you like the models and i look forward to answering any questions,comments,criticism etc. Cheers, Mike.

Gatorsama Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 These are very cool. I have been flirting with doing some black legion and this may have tipped me over the edge of madness.

chaplainmikey Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 Hi, I haven't had as much time as i'd have liked to paint during the last couple of days,however i did get an hour in today where i added the start of some purple patches to my marines: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_ssaa002.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_ssaa001.jpg When i finish the purple it will look like the purple on the Terminator lords shoulder pad(see above). Also i've started on the last 3 marines for my first squad;the Standard bearer,Missile laucher marine and a bog-standard marine: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_ssaa004.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_ssaa003.jpg As you can see they are still very WIP. I didn't have the time to take pictures,but i've been working on 3 noise marines converted from the standard marine kit. Basically i've added the gargoyle barrel from the vehicle sprue to the end of a shortened boltgun to make the blasters,whilst adding the vents from spare backpacks to various parts of the armour to act as speakers. I still want to add some GS detail which i'll hopefully get done some time during this week. Cheers, Mike.

Dràyhèn Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Don't go overboard with these fella, only a couple of parts (one hand, one 'pad) painted purple will do the trick. Even though you changed allegiance 8) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/171317-emperors-childrenformerly-black-legion/#findComment-2029441 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 To be honest i quite like the purple parts in the locations they are. I'm not being ignorant to your advice though,i just like them like this. Anyway,i finished the purple so I'll post some pics later. Cheers, Mike.

chaplainmikey Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 Hi, Heres some pics of my WIP Noise marines. They aren't brilliant but i quite like them and they are easy to make. A quick note about the GS;the only tool i currently have for GS is a pen knife,so untill i buy some clay shapers i have to use the knife,which frankly is pants. :) Anyway,pics: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_aaaa1004.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_aaaa1003.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_aaaa1002.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_aaaa1001.jpg They are all equipped with my quick and easy take on the sonic blasters(i would have liked to add some guitar wire but i dont have any) and close combat weapons.One marine has a converted blastmaster whilst the chapion has a doom siren on his powerpack. As i said,they aren't brilliant but they'll do. <_< Cheers, Mike.

chaplainmikey Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Hi, Update time again. Started painting one of my noise marines,and after what seemed like hours,ive finally finished the pink: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_003.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_002.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_001.jpg Pink is EVIL! The green on the blaster and the chainsword isn't finished yet and its getting too dark to carry on,so it'll have to wait till tomorrow. I hope you like it! :teehee: Cheers, Mike.

tortoise Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Really cool. The backpack with shoulder speakers is awesome. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/171317-emperors-childrenformerly-black-legion/#findComment-2032451 Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm40k Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Pink is EVIL! Ha, now I know why the Emperor's Children chose it then! :P You're right though, it's an awkward colour to paint over black, but so far it looks amazing on your model, really nice blending and highlighting. Looking forward to seeing how your army develops! :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/171317-emperors-childrenformerly-black-legion/#findComment-2032723 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted June 27, 2009 Author Share Posted June 27, 2009 Hi all, I've finished the Noise marine. :D I'm quite suprised actually because he took a lot less time to paint then the Black Legion models i've painted thus far.Strange. :P Here's the pics: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_003-1.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_002-1.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_001-1.jpg tortoise & firestorm40k-Thank you both for the comments. I'm glad you both like the marine,i've seen both your painting diaries and i have to say you are both really skilled and creative,so it's nice to see that you like my models. :D I'm joining a campaign next week( i think) and the one condition is that we start with a new HQ choice which will develop stats wise through out the campaign.I'm thinking of taking a Daemon Prince or a cheap lord in Power armour.Either way i'm going to need to improve with GS as i want this model to stand out and look unique. Plus there will be prizes for the best looking HQ choice and army. ;) Cheers, Mike.

chaplainmikey Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share Posted July 7, 2009 Hi, I've been a bit busy since my last post,but i have still been working on my army. Progress with pics so far: 3 WIP Noise marines: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_aw002.jpg 1 non-noise marine: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_aw003.jpg 1 Pink Predator WIP: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_aw005.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_aw004.jpg My power armoured lord who needs a suitable fancy base: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_aw006.jpg Daemon Prince i'm making: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_aw007.jpg So my armies growing pretty quickly and i'm really enjoying painting the pink now,even if i do get some rather odd looks thrown my way when i'm painting at GW. :) Hope you like them, Mike.

chaplainmikey Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hi, I haven't really done as much as i'd have liked for this army the last week or two mainly due to the terrain piece i'm builiding. Today,however,i did manage to get this far with these models: WIP Predator: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_11004.jpg 3 Noise marines and a standard marine: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_11003.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_11002.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_11001.jpg Nothing terribly exciting i know,but its progress atleast.

lt.rasczak Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Loving the noise marines! They look extra slaanesh. Love the lord from the first post. How did you get his skin that color? I'd like to do something similiar to that for my tech priest. Keep up the great work can't wait to see more.

chaplainmikey Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Hi, Despire having little sleep and being slightly hungover,i did a little work on my Predator: http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_12004.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_12003.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_12002.jpg http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s301/mikeymouatt/th_12001.jpg It's not finished yet.I want to add some more pink freehands,preferably on the sides and the lights and Emps Children badge need finishing.Ofcourse the tracks are still in need of paint too. lt.rasczak-I painted the skin with some purple paints i mixed up a few years ago,so i'm not certain on the actual mix,but i do know its a mix of Hormagaunt purple and white,adding more white as needed for the highlights.I think. :o Thanks for looking. Cheers, Mike. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/171317-emperors-childrenformerly-black-legion/#findComment-2053642 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lt.rasczak Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Well its a start on the right direction for the skin, thank you for that. Pred is looking very nice. Kudos to you for painting hungover. I think if I wasn't hungover I would be painting a lot more..... then again if I wasn't drinking I wouldn't start half the projects I end up working on, so it's a slippery slope. Everything is looking great, keep up the good work.
