Subtle Discord Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 After lurking these forums for awhile I figure it was time to say hello. I've been tabletop gaming on-and-off for 20+ years, and recently set to reinventing my Black Legion army. While I'm not happy with the current Chaos Codex I know that the day will come when the Dark Gods will turn their gaze to the faithful, and bless us will a new Codex. On that day, I will be ready. But I digress... My plan it is to make this force blatantly Chaos, and not just 'Marines with Spikes'. (Don't get me wrong, I love spikes, but they only add so much to a model) I strive to create uniqueness with simple but effective 'hacks' to the provided kits, and add my own flair and customization. I want the army to look very cohesive while still creating many unique models mixed into the rank-and-file. The art for Chaos Marines is always a wonderful blend of a unified force, with each warrior adorning and customizing their armour personally. I hope to emulate that. While I'm a strong painter, building is where I really shine. To this end I spend extra time removing mold lines, making minor-to-major conversions on the miniatures, and adding a ton of extra custom detailing to every vehicle I field. I will be starting with a 'pure' Black Legion core block, and once that is finished I will fill out with blocks devoted to each of the Dark Gods. Each block will get at least one 'centerpiece' model or unit that I plan to really put all my skills into. Some are already in planning/building stages, others are just dark thoughts in the back of my brain. I will be starting a blog documenting my exploits. I've been asked questions in the past about my technique, and I think people will be interested in how I achieve some of my results. The free exchange of great ideas is a good thing, and I've got many many ideas. As a teaser, please take some time to have a look at my Gallery while I get some things sorted and figure out where to start my rantings. Comments, questions, and all manner of musings are always welcome.

Warsmith Aznable Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Welcome to the B&C brother. That's some very nice detailing on the Predator you have going there! Always nice to see fellow travelers of the Chaos Legions coming to the forums.
