Sepsis the Unclean Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 After completing a 1500 point Death Guard force I have decided to extend my chaos collection, and I want to mix things up from just painting Nurgle. I am aiming for another 1500 points of Chaos so that when combined with the Death Guard I’ll have a 3K list, and with my bitz box overflowing I can’t see this being a problem (the box even has an unassembled Defiler & Predator tank in it!) Starting this thread so that anyone who’s interested can follow my progress and give me some C & C over the coming month’s … Here is a WIP of the 1st additions to my collection. 5 Chaos marines… http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1107.jpg http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1108.jpg I have started to paint them as Alpha Legionnaire’s :P http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1146.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183243-additions-to-my-chaos-marine-collection%E2%80%A6/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortifilia Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Excelent paintjobs and its nice to see some classic chaos marines there. What have you sculpted in the plasma gunners knee pads? Could you post a detail shot?

Could you post a detail shot? Yeah seen the classics on ebay a while back & just had to get them. I have tried (and i emphasise the word 'tried') to sculpt some scales onto his knee pads. Here's a pic of him, photo is a bit dodgy though because of the glare of the metal. http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1115.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183243-additions-to-my-chaos-marine-collection%E2%80%A6/#findComment-2167360 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mortifilia Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 The scales seem good, but its hard to see them in greenstuff When he´s painted they will look great. The classic / berzerker backpack is nice too ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183243-additions-to-my-chaos-marine-collection%E2%80%A6/#findComment-2167421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm40k Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 I have started to paint them as Alpha Legionnaire’s :P http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1146.jpg Wow, that's a beautiful paint job! :) Looking forward to seeing more B) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183243-additions-to-my-chaos-marine-collection%E2%80%A6/#findComment-2168075 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepsis the Unclean Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Managed to get the plasma gunner painted, here is the finished result. Let me know what you think. http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1151.jpg Also I have been a little distracted from the marines by my un-assembled defiler. I wanted to fit a dccw but think that the one that GW supplies is rubbish ;) http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1137.jpg Don't you agree that it IS RUBBISH??? So I rooted around the kitchen for a few useful bits & believe it or not I came accross a whisk, which I began to dismantle. A bit of gluing & pinning here & there, then the result:- http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1139.jpg The whisk handle is the spring along the arm, I reinforced inside it with some copper pipe. I also used two old Tyranid swords for the blades (be good for decapitating loyalists, eh?)

Dammeron Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Beautiful work; very clean and with a definite "classic" feel. I think you've blended the blue armour and green highlights beautifully. Can't wait to see more! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183243-additions-to-my-chaos-marine-collection%E2%80%A6/#findComment-2169866 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepsis the Unclean Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 I have progressed my Alpha Legion Defiler. Legs are complete and I have added a few little tweaks here & there for a bit of personalisation. Here are some pic’s, let us know what you think. http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1161.jpg Trophies up close http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1154.jpg The Chaos icon is my 1st real go at freehand, so C & C is definitely welcome here http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1160.jpg Highlighted Alpha Legion transfer / scales http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1158.jpg Finally I have converted some Dark Elf bitz in to a Hydra Icon for the Defiler Tank http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1141.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183243-additions-to-my-chaos-marine-collection%E2%80%A6/#findComment-2180273 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zsoulless Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 I really Like your go at Alpha Legion. It looks Great.. Your Paint is Nice and Clean. and your color scheme transfers well from Troop to vehicle.. That being said Im not sure the "scaled" knee pads really worked out.. The Idea is inspired and the model itself came out really well But I would give another go at sculpting the scales .. I like your Defiler! there are a few spots That I think that could Do with a few More scales. like the small groupings around the Hydra on the claws which come off more like rain drops rather then scales atm.. Just my 2 cents.. Looks Good. love the trophy rack.. I will now forever cringe at the sight of Eye-hooks...

Midnightmare Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 T'is going to look awesome when done mate, the blue to green transition is nice and smooth especially over the larger plates :huh: & I'm jealous of the freehand painted icon too, its something I struggle with Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183243-additions-to-my-chaos-marine-collection%E2%80%A6/#findComment-2180963 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I am not happy with those knee pads, I have found a good 'moulding scales' topic on this site by Targol so I'll be giving his tutorial a go. Could put his technique to use on the rest of my squad too B) In the mean time I'm gonna add some more scales to that claw. Completely agree the hydra claw needs more scales, to be honest I thought that area was lacking scales when I was painting but I was in a lazy mood (+ as I had painted so many on the other claw)...

I have assembled this dude. http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1166.jpg I didn’t have a duplicate metal part to Defiler’s hydra icon but improvised with Khornate & Slanneshi icons from the CSM sprue. I simply removed the Khorne / Slannesh icons, assembled the framework until they matched up, and then fixed my converted hydra to the framework.

Sepsis the Unclean Posted November 12, 2009 Author Share Posted November 12, 2009 Cheers for all the comments fella's, hoping to finish off the Defiler over the next few days.

Sepsis the Unclean Posted November 15, 2009 Author Share Posted November 15, 2009 Finally after about 3 ½ weeks assembling and painting…the Defiler… is finally finished. I never appreciated how detailed these Daemon engines are until I picked up this fella. Here's a few pic's :- http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1183.jpg http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1174.jpg http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1175.jpg http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1180.jpg http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1184.jpg I hope you like it and as always, C & C are welcome. Now I must finish that 1st Alpha Legion squad of mine, and with the Defiler now finished I shouldn’t have any more distractions. Then again I have just ordered the Forgeworld Khorne Berzerkers Upgrade Kit…so I could be wrong.

Midnightmare Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Fair do's mate you have done it again! Looks a beast, and that close combat weoapon turned out well. Any chance of a close up of the leering face at the back too? Going to pop round Weds or Thurs, but wouldn't mind a glimpse beforehand.

Yeah I'm happy with the DCCW, and the lady still hasn't noticed that the small whisk is missing! Couldn't magnetise it like I wanted to though, it was just WAY TOO HEAVY for the magnets to hold it up in the pose that I wanted. Had to pin it. And as requested the leering face... http://i732.photobucket.com/albums/ww325/chkj83/Sepsis%20reinforcments/DSCF1197.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/183243-additions-to-my-chaos-marine-collection%E2%80%A6/#findComment-2186498 Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallvictory Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I am so stealing that trophy idea on your defiler. I have a bunch of older CMS's and 90% of a defiler kit in a bits box, I've been inspired, thanks. Solid work here, keep it up.
