jimmimellows Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 Good luck brother, i must say thats a mighty fine haul of models you have there. Loving the amount of armour you have there! I seem to have the same affliction where i buy and assemble lots of stuff, then take ages to paint it. I'm currently up to 4 completed models for my whole army :) I too await the new codex with much anticipation, although i dare say that too many people will jump on the band wagon. I'm chaos til i die, i just hope we get a ruleset that we are owed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 You're going to do that in a year??? Wow that'd take me a few years at least......good luck brother. Jimmi remember all our names because when that new dex comes out we'll have tons of bandwagoneers.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmimellows Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Dont worry, i'll remember the dedicated few of us who seem to be true chaos followers. For the warmaster....and all that! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheex Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hey, I've got proof that I've been part of the community since the original 3rd edition Chaos Codex ;) If you hate this Codex, at least it's a significant step up from that piece of rubbish. Though it did get better with the Index Astartes rules for Chaos Legions, so it wasn't all bad. Anyway, I've finished the two unpainted Rhinos :tu: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v23/cheex/khorne/Legio%20Cruentus%202012%20Log/1-20%20Update/P1200007.jpg And some detail of the Rhino numbers: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v23/cheex/khorne/Legio%20Cruentus%202012%20Log/1-20%20Update/P1200008.jpg This was done using some custom decal paper for my laser printer (you can also get some for inkjet printers). I printed off some large Roman numerals, stuck them onto the hatches and painted Dheneb Stone over it (2-3 coats, so it was a solid colour), followed by Bleached Bone. I then stippled it with the basecoat colour to look like the numbers were flaking off. I'm pretty pleased with the result ^_^ I might go back at some point and add some freehand designs to my Rhinos, but that's a fairly low priority at the moment.

Olis Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Looks good. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmimellows Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Hey sorry cheexsta, that wasnt a dig at you so sorry if it came across as such, it was just a general rant about bandwagoners! I remember that 3rd was bad too, bring back 3.5 i say! Those decals look sweet, thats a really good idea to distinguish between squads. Very well executed with the scratches etc blending it so it dosent look like a decal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, I didn't take it as a dig anyway :D This week's task will be to get one of my 16-man berzerker squads painted, so stay tuned! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheex Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Quick update: someone on another forum requested pics of my painted Bloodletters, so here they are :) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v23/cheex/khorne/Legio%20Cruentus%202012%20Log/1-20%20Update/P1200009.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v23/cheex/khorne/Legio%20Cruentus%202012%20Log/1-20%20Update/P1200010.jpg There are Bloodletters from each edition mixed into each squad, so to get around uniformity issues (and to add some distinction between squads), I decided to go for a specific detail colour for each unit. So far I've only done green (very 2nd edition, IMHO) and purple (which was a challenge to make it look less Slaaneshi), but plan on having a unit for each primary and secondary colour, plus one for white and one for medium grey.

Brother Ambroz Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I still like the previous edition's letters a bit better than the alienoid ones we have now. Still they look good all mixed together. The banner in that second picture looks awesome-reminds me of disturbed a bit.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scribe Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I have made the same vow Cheexsta! I am almost done my 1750 Khorne Daemons army, will have it complete in a week (for a Tournament) and then on to my beloved World Eaters. I intend to repaint the whole lot of them, and while its nowhere near your tally, we only have a few months more to wait really. Good luck!
