abadizzle Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 "Let the Galaxy Burn!" http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y290/abadizzilithium/utf-8BYWJhZGRvbmN1c3RvbTMuanBn.jpg Hello! This thread will be my Black Legion project log- as you can see Im focusing this project around my custom Abaddon made from kitbashing a finecast abaddon and a terminator lord... went for a simple approach- no ambiguity as to who this guy is... I have a little more work to do on him (skulls on the trophy rack, drach'nyen, and maybe starker gold highlights (i used shining gold highlights over dwarf bronze, probably too subtle) but just couldnt wait to post a WIP pic (which unfortunately was taken w my phone, ill get better pics up when he's complete) Here's a couple more of abby, I'd love some critique on him! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y290/abadizzilithium/utf-8BYWJhZGRvbmN1c3RvbTEuanBn.jpghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y290/abadizzilithium/utf-8BYWJhZGRvbmN1c3RvbTIuanBn.jpg Hope you like him! Moving on from Abaddon here's a humble example of my Black Legion troop scheme http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y290/abadizzilithium/utf-8BYmxhY2tsZWdpb25taXNzaWxlMS5qcGc.jpg Nothin' fancy here, but again, I'd love some critique on em- I'm definitely happy w the black highlights I've figured out, though not 100% sold on the silver trim on the legs. Share your thoughts please! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y290/abadizzilithium/utf-8Ba2hhcm5taXNzaWxlY29tYm8uanBn.jpg Missile-man better duck! Here's my custom Khârn the Betrayer WIP! I gotta make him a plastic skulled-out backpack and finish the paints... but he's well on his way! Please lemme know what ya think about him! Here's a few more pics, including a comparison w normal Khârn and a pre-paint WIP! http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y290/abadizzilithium/utf-8Ba2hhcm5jdXN0b20xLmpwZw.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y290/abadizzilithium/utf-8Ba2hhcm53aXAzLmpwZw.jpghttp://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y290/abadizzilithium/utf-8Ba2hhcm53aXAyLmpwZw.jpg And finally (for now) here's a pic of a couple of Khârn's umm... friends... heheh http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y290/abadizzilithium/utf-8BemVya25jaGFtcDEuanBn.jpg Thanks guys, I hope you like the minis, I have a boatload of Chaos models to paint, I'd love some comments, questions, and critiques on these so far! Thanks again and thanks for viewing! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254301-preparing-for-another-black-crusade/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angrypantz Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Really Liking the paint job on the Black Legion space marines and the 'Zerkers but the conversion of Khârn and Abaddon jar a little. The work done on Khârn is amazing but the chainaxe arm is a little off and Abaddon just looks a little off as well. Other then those little niggling details, this is going to be really interesting to see how the rest of the army progresses :P Angrypants Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254301-preparing-for-another-black-crusade/#findComment-3088144 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llagos_Tyrant Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 The Abaddon conversion looks a bit stretched and skinny, but it does have a nice paint job. Khârn looks great and that Black Legion scheme with the blue/gray highlights is awesome!

joghurtberserker Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 I'm afraid this time the Imperium might fall, because all its defenders stand gaping and watching this very nice paintjob very clean look but without missing the detail, I prefer my skulls with more white, but I'm not a servant of the Blood God, so who cares :unsure: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/254301-preparing-for-another-black-crusade/#findComment-3088167 Share on other sites More sharing options...

abadizzle Posted June 18, 2012 Author Share Posted June 18, 2012 Thanks a million for the replies! I know far too well how easy it is to just view a thread then move on w/o leavin a reply- I really appreciate the comments! Angrypants- I wonder what's nigglin' ya w the warmaster... Maybe his pose in general? I considered using my old metal Talon on him- I curved the fingers on that one and had it palm up in a menacing "bring it" pose- much like the Forgeworld statue... I preferred the attitude it brought to the mini but in the end I wanted to keep the model metal-free... In hindsight sticking to the original vanilla "I'm shooting my bolter at you" pose was a 'Meh' idea... Kharns arm is a lil big I suppose- I used a stikkbomba arm and shortened it @ the wrist... The pose was singing to me I guess so I ignored the fairly blatant misproportions of it... Maybe finished paint apps will help make it look like it belongs on him. Thanks for the food for thought! Grim- I agree to an extent about the stretched look- the Abby torso and Lord legs were far from a perfect match... But I kinda made do I think. The goal was to make him taller than the newer plastic termies- which worked so I can't complain much. I think his tiny head helps goof up the overall proportions too. Ill get more paint on him and a side-by-side w some other minis n we'll see what we think bout him. Thanks for the Khârn love- can't wait to finish him! Joghurtzerk- Thanks so much- heheh love the comment about the Imperium falling... Hah awesome- About the skulls- I was on the fence about white/black skulls but I decided brown/bone looked softer and gave more color balance- especially on the zerkers- jus a matter of opinion I guess- I do still have paint to slap on Abbys skulls so Ill keep your critique in mind! Thanks again! A J Anne- Thanks so much! "Amazing" might be too kind- I still have much to learn! Glad you like em though! I can't wait to get everything painted- I have 10 years of chaos collecting to paint up so stay tuned! Unfortunately I broke my thumb 2 days ago so maaaybe an update's a few days off...

lokkorex Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 wow, your karn looks awesome! your abbadon looks good too, but is face seems a bit young for 10,000 year old warmaster of chaos.

subtlebrush Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Really liking the finished paint job on the Berzerkers! Abaddon looks fine to me. Keep up the good work.
