SC6669's Children of the Black Dawn Chaos Marines (WIP)


Recommended Posts

Greetings and salutations. This is where I'll be posting progress on my Children of the Black Dawn army. This army started with a few units I couldn't use with my world eaters army in 4th edition, and grew from there. First up is a khorne berzerker squad:

I finished painting the rest of the plague hulk:

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Forge%20World%20Projects/Plague%20Hulk%200014.jpg

 

At this point the model was almost complete, but I still had some large gaps to fill:

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Forge%20World%20Projects/Plague%20Hulk%200017.jpg

 

The good news is this was easily fixed with a little green stuff:

After a little paint and clearcoat my plague hulk was completed:

My next project will be my baneblade kit. More on that forthcoming.

I've started assembling the baneblade since my last post:

 

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Children%20of%20the%20Black%20Dawn/Children%20Baneblade%200002.jpg

 

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Children%20of%20the%20Black%20Dawn/Children%20Baneblade%200003.jpg

 

Shortly after I took these first two pics I found some chaos-ified corpses I bought on eBay back when and decided to use them on this project:

 

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Children%20of%20the%20Black%20Dawn/Children%20Baneblade%200004.jpg

 

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Children%20of%20the%20Black%20Dawn/Children%20Baneblade%200005.jpg

 

One of the things I knew for sure I wanted to do with my baneblade was build a larger version of the emblem I use on my Children of the Black Dawn marines. Originally I wanted to paint something like this onto the shoulder pads of my marines: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1920&bih=931&ei=Bq8vW8r6ONjB0PEP3Lum0Ao&q=slayer+divine+intervention+album+cover&oq=slayer+divine&gs_l=img.1.1.0l10.1373.4514.0.6326.14.11.0.3.3.0.84.775.10.10.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..1.13.825.0..35i39k1.0.-bNH5EUXlJw#imgrc=_
 

Unfortunately I couldn't paint the pic that small, so I went with a simple bleached bone pentagram instead. The baneblade, however, has enough room for me to actually build a larger version of my original emblem idea. The first thing I needed to do was figure out how I wanted to do the ring around the skeleton. I thought some large metal washers might work, so I took a trip to my local hardware store. Much to my delight, I found some brass washers. After scoring them with a small cutting disc they were ready for use:

Lastly for today is a preview of the paint scheme for the baneblade:

I added a few extras to the body of the tanks since my last post:

As well as starting assembly on other parts of the tank:

There are still a few parts I need to get, such as skeletons for the emblems. I'm also considering using one of the new plastic necromunda goliath models for the tank commander (specifically the one I saw that had a gas mask). If it turns out this model is too big for the turret, I'll just go the closed hatch route. More pics forthcoming.

All the extra chaos details on the Baneblade make it look almost as much of a fane as it is a mobile fortress, I imagine that for the mortal worshippers such a thing would indeed quickly happen.

Thanks for the comments guys.

 

Today I'm closing in on completion. I got some skeletons and some evil craft chaos swords to start making my emblems; that was the easy part:

 

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Children%20of%20the%20Black%20Dawn/children%20baneblade%200038.jpg

 

The hard part was sculpting skulls from scratch to finish the design:

 

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Children%20of%20the%20Black%20Dawn/children%20baneblade%200039.jpg

 

But after some cleanup and trimming on the teeth I was satisfied with how they turned out:

 

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Children%20of%20the%20Black%20Dawn/children%20baneblade%200040.jpg

 

Here's the emblems on the hull (as well as the completed side sponsons). It turned out my metal washers were too small to use with the skeleton design, but since bigger washers wouldn't have fit in the limited space on the side of the tank, I went ahead and used them anyway:

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Children%20of%20the%20Black%20Dawn/children%20baneblade%200042.jpg

 

My sprue of the new necromunda goliaths also arrived. With a bit of trimming on the legs the model now fits inside the turret:

Here's the finished turret:

I've managed to get two more models completed since my last post. The first one is my daemon prince. Originally I had planned to use enchanted blue for his skin tone (mainly to differenciate him from all the khornate daemons I have) but unfortunately it had dried up during years of storage. Then I thought of a new plan: paint the skin tone base lothern blue and he membranes of the wings wazdakka red, then shade the whole thing with drakenhof nightshade. I think it worked pretty well:

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Children%20of%20the%20Black%20Dawn/Children%20DP%200006.jpg

 

 

And here's the finished model, Sumu-abum, Bringer of the Black Dawn:

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Children%20of%20the%20Black%20Dawn/Children%20DP%200010.jpg

 

The next model I started on was a forge world giant chaos spawn:

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Forge%20World%20Projects/GiantChaosSpawn0006_zpsa602be34.jpg

 

I lost one of the teeth during construction, but from previous experiences with other forge world models I have found that toothpicks can be good replacements:

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Forge%20World%20Projects/Giant%20Chaos%20Spawn%200008.jpg

 

I used the same blue skin tone that I used on Sumu-abum, which I think ties them nicely together:

http://i842.photobucket.com/albums/zz345/Soulcrusher6669/Forge%20World%20Projects/Giant%20Chaos%20Spawn%200010.jpg

 

And a short while later my giant chaos spawn, Bruzeth the Hunter was completed:
