bevulf Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hi guys, Some of you may recognize me as a Dark Angels fanatic as I have an active plog of the Sons of the Lion but after painting all DA miniatures from Dark Vengeance set I decided to try sth different. I decided to start a Chaos oriented project. At this point I don’t know where it will lead me but for now I plan to paint all chaos marines from dark vengeance (except cultists) as BLACK LEGION and add to them new plastic aspiring champion. Perhaps I will expand the force with new raptors/some vehicles or maybe I will end up with selling them on ebay. We will see. I have spent almost a week painting two first miniatures: Kranon (my Chaos Lord) and Draznicht (Chosen). Effect is below: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/2draznichtandkranon01.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/2draznichtandkranon02.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/0kranontherelentless00.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/0kranontherelentless03.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/0kranontherelentless01.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/0kranontherelentless06.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/0kranontherelentless02.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/0kranontherelentless04.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/0kranontherelentless05.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/1draznichtthechosen02.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/1draznichtthechosen01.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/1draznichtthechosen04.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/1draznichtthechosen03.jpg Hope you like them. It was a hard work and a lot yet to do with the rest of the Chosen (not to mention the Helbrute as I plan to convert him a little…) Stay tuned for more, Cheers b.

Dosjetka Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Wonderful work mate :P Looking forward to seeing the rest of the Chosen! Oh, and why no cultists? Did you sell them off or something? Ludovic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarsminimadness Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Love the face of the champion! Nice work! And i also would like to know how you did your bases! :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Bevulf, the Chaplains down in room 42 want to have a word with you. :( Beautiful work as always Brother. Going with teal/aqua on the caps was a nice touch, gives both models a great contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thank you guys, I am glad that you like them. As for the bases it is very simple: I glue some cork and gravel to the bases - when glue is dry I fill them with some sand and that's it. I basecoat them with black paint (sand with brown) and then drybrush cork with grey paint, sand with desert yellow / bleached bone and skull white. Hope it helps ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urauloth Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks! What thickness of cork do you use? Also I notice you didn't go for a glow effect on the coils of Kranon's plasma pistol - that's very unusual, and it looks great. Makes more sense for them to be a metallic colour, if they're electromagnetic coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bevulf Posted October 23, 2012 Author Share Posted October 23, 2012 Yes, I sold all the cultists and I really do not plan to paint any of them Cork thickness is about 3 mm. See picture below: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/5cork.jpg some of you asked so I also took a picture of all my basing materials: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/6basingmaterials.jpg ...and to finish this post some pictures of chaos and dark angels together :D : http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/4draznichtturmiel.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/4kranonbalthsar.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/3darkangelscharacters01.jpg Cheers, b.

JamesG89 Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Really nice painting you've got there. Loving the freehand on the banners and the fact that the skin on the Chaos marines along with the blue contrast really well witht he dark power armour.

Urauloth Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Thanks for all the basing info, I'll have to give it a shot myself. (you know, if you ever had the time or inclination, I reckon you could make one of the most popular basing tutorials out there...) Your DA look fantastic as well, just checked out your thread for them. Top-notch work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bevulf Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Hi guys, it took me some time but I finished two more chosen. I do not have as much free time lately so my painting pace is really slooooow now. Either way here they are: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/01Chosen1.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/01Chosen2.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/01Chosen3.jpg group shot: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/01Chosen4.jpg Some of you asked me for a tutorial of how I make my bases so I here it is: HOW TO MAKE ROCKY BASES Below you can see materials I used for a first step - I glued (using PVA glue) some cork to the bases and some gravel: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/01baseswithcorkandgravel.jpg you need to leave it at this point until the glue is dry - I always leave it for aprox. 12-14 hours before I go to the next step which is sanding: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/02baseswithsand.jpg When the glue dries (another 12 hours) I undercoat the bases as follows: Chaos Black - for cork Scorched Brown - for the rest http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/03basecoat.jpg for the next step - drybrush cork with Astronomicon Grey, sand and gravel with Bestial Brown: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/04firstlayer.jpg Next drybrush only the sand and gravel with Desert Yellow, followed by Dheneb Stone: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/05secondlayer.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/06thirdlayer.jpg Drybrush sand and gravel with Bleached Bone: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/07forthlayer.jpg The Last drybrush is done with Skull White - drybrush all cork, sand and gravel: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/08fifthlayer.jpg To finish the bases paint rims with Scorched Brown: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/09sixthlayer.jpg and that's it :jaw: Hope some of you find it interesting...

Alphz Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Nice tutorial man! I like it a lot. Any chance you can tut up that blue cloak? it looks fantastic! Edit: failing that the colours used would be wonderful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bevulf Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Thank you guys. @Alphz - glad you like it. Unfotunately making a tuto of the cloak would be complicated as it was a long painting process. I will give you colours and some hints on how I painted it: - Basically it was painted using several colours - basecoat of Hawk Turquise followed by few layers of base colours highlighted with skull white. - After the highlights were done I focused on shading - this time I used base colour mixed with some chaos black (just a DOT in each progressive layer) and I glazed it onto the most shadowed areas of the cloak (very time consuming). - I also applied some dilluted dark angels green mixed with dilluted hawk turquise as a wash on some parts of the cloak - I didn't apply it on all the surface just in some areas to give the reflection of colour changing. - Final highlights were done with pure skull white on the very edges hope it helps :) I have also finished the rest of the Chosen: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/01Chosenall.jpg http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/02Chosenall.jpg Kranon (ehm, I mean Black Legion Lord) with his warband: http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x240/bevulf/03Chosenall.jpg and now slowly and painfully onto the Helbrute...

Krishar Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Those mini's look so lush brother, the aquamarine cloaks are just perfect, I've been trying to work with aquamarine for eldar for ages and never got it quite that tone, or as good blending, and it's nice to see clean crisp bright colours on chaos, it really works!
