Cursed sons of Guilliman (Chaos army)

[maverike_prime]

So I've been out of the game part of the hobby for about 4 years now. I found a GW hobby center that's on my way to class so I'm getting back into it. Now, since I haven't played a game of 5th edition I figured it'd be a good idea to get a workable force on the board and start playing it. Now the big limiting factor to all of this is money. I'm presently unemployed so I'm working through what I already have, what I can build out of my bitz box and what I can cannibalize from prior projects of mine. So, I'm starting out with a reasonable force of 1000 points presently led by Horun mainly because I have the model and he doesn't appear to be a huge point sink. This is also an outgrowth of an idea I had a several years ago. Basically Chaosified Ultra marines. When taking the pictures I broke each of the squads down into 2 five man units to make it easier to photograph.

 

You'll notice the Obliterates are not painted. There's a reason for this. I'm not sure I want to use those particular conversions for this army. I'm looking for other ideas. You can follow my thoughts over here.

 

I'm not saying all the other models are finished being painted by any stretch. But given my objective to use this army to learn fifth edition and get back into the hobby, they are playable and presentable at the current stage. I still have a lot of detail work to do. I need to paint the helmet lenses, and I have a lot of high lighting to do. Not to mention a lot of the weapons still need paint.

Anyway, yammer yammer yammer new pictures to show off. Here they are:

Detail shot of the Melta trooper. I put a lot of effort into the faces that you can see. When I assembled the Metla gun trooper I couldn't find a backpack and initially decided to attach one later. But after building the figure and painting it, I kinda like how the lack of a backpack makes the Marine look bigger.

Here is the Converted Abaddon I built for a future addition to the army. He's not presently in use for this army, but I built him and have painted him so I'm posting pics for it.

not bad for a start, but i would paint Huron and Addy in the same collor as the rest of the army

 

also: you need more U logos, the loyal ones have got them everywhere, lituraly

I would, but they're both stand ins for the moment. Ultimately I plan on converting a Chaosified Marneus Calgar to my Chaos Lord, or Abby stand in. I'm not sure which yet.
