knights of the crusade Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Hey all, im starting a new chaos army of tzeench and slanesh. its a little different to what you would usually see colour wise, im painting them to look like 40K versions of spartan warriors, the colour sceme is sorted im going for gold armour and red trim. To show which troop choice they follow they're weapons will colour will follow that sceme i.e. slanesh will have purple/pink weapons and tzeench will have blue. I want to make plumes on their helmets, the kind you see on ancient greek and roman armies but not sure what to use or how. Really need help with this so any suggestions are welcome and much needed Thaks all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Always check in the Librarium, you never know what might turn up. :sweat: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...showarticle=504 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/index.p...showarticle=460 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Lord Shamrockius Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Have you thought of static grass and painting it? I dunno if it would work but may be worth trying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knights of the crusade Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 thanks brother nihm, will check now. Chaos Lord Shamrockius: that is a good idea, i think the only problem is that it would need to be held in somethin and built up slowly. I dont mind building up and taking time, I just dont know what to hold it in I got part of the job done, some of the heads on the sprues come with plumes of hair coming out of the head, I just need some which are 'solid block' plumes as it were Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I linked two tutorials above, check them out. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knights of the crusade Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 thanks brother nihm, i think i might use the harlequin heads, they're perfect. I know a couple of people who play eldar so I might try and squeeze some spare heads off them, thanks very much for taking time to help, the links were really useful ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rottenlad Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I think both tutorials would be solid tactics to accomplish your goal. only other thing is sicarus thought he would be a nice model.http://www.games-workshop.com/gws/catalog/productDetail.jsp?catId=cat1020020&prodId=prod1530008 we all wana see pics when you get it done.

The Damned Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 If your buddies don't have any spare heads you can probably bits order them pretty easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knights of the crusade Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 rottenlad: i will get some pics up as soon as The damned: I think i might do that, it would probably be less hassle for me since a lot of people don't like parting with their bitz, which I can understand :) Ive got my thousand sons assembled and undercoated and ready to go. Rather than using the 'egyptian' looking heads and style for them (aspiring sorcerer excluded' ive used the chaos heads that have the horse hair plumes look to give a more 'spartan' feel to the unit as opposed to egyptian. thanks to everyone for the help. I will post pics as soon as Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
