khalaek Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hey guys, So after a long time of not being in the hobby I've decided to make a comeback. My chosen method: repaint my DIY Chaos Marines as Word Bearers, and add all the stuff I never got to when I left. So I've gathered all my minis and they now have at least a red basecoat. But in the spirit of having something finished at all I decided to break from mass producing a near-2000 point army to work solely on my Terminator Lord and his retinue, pictured below. While the lord is entirely unique in the scheme I used for him, the other terminators represent what the rest of the army will look like. Enjoy, and feel free to comment/critique and these pics as much as you want. I'm hoping to sell this army to help fund a mission trip, so they have to look perfect. Thanks! Khalaek, Dark Apostle Lord Khalaek http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n122/cameracrew1/IMG_2017.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n122/cameracrew1/IMG_2018.jpg The Retinue http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n122/cameracrew1/IMG_2014.jpg Champion (Name TBD) http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n122/cameracrew1/IMG_2016.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n122/cameracrew1/IMG_2011.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n122/cameracrew1/IMG_2015.jpg Axeman http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n122/cameracrew1/IMG_2010.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n122/cameracrew1/IMG_2010.jpg Autoreaper http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n122/cameracrew1/IMG_2013.jpg http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n122/cameracrew1/IMG_2007.jpg Multi-melta http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n122/cameracrew1/IMG_2012.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizzy-xc Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 I dislike the white scroll work on the armor. Doesnt look good at all. I'd ditch it. The rest are well done! Liked em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Fingered Villain Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Try painting the scroll work in fluttering scribbly lines, keep them thin but keep them uneven. This could help break up the thickness of the white scroll work you have now, lovely reds, the green eyes are a nice accent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nephilim Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Why is your Dark Apostle white? Is that some part of your background story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khalaek Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Why is your Dark Apostle white? Is that some part of your background story? I painted the DA's armor to resemble white marble. There was originally some background behind the decision, but I've since forgotten exactly what that was :). I decided to leave the armor the way I originally had it because it would make him stand out more on the tabletop and he took me forever to paint, and I painted him using the same techniques that I used on the terminators. Basically I couldn't justify repainting him in more appropriate colors, so I didn't. Lazy art majors, UNITE! :) also, thanks for the comments/critiques of the script. I chose WB specifically so I could do scriptwork. But I do agree, it could be better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
