Dracos's Merry Band of Black legionnaires

[dracos1337]

From shame and shadow recast. In black and gold reborn.

 

This is a log of my Black Legion Warband <Gathering Storm> dating back from 2010 when I first started the hobby. I've always enjoyed the narrative and being the only Chaos player in a hobby group of Imperial scum, my army tends to end up as the villian(albeit a rather weak one due to the codex being garbage over the past years). Hopefully with the new traitor legions out, my chaos army can finally take their place as the prime evil in the galaxy.

 

 

Without further adieu, here is some shots of my early and horrendous painting attempts at creating a decent looking Black Legion army.

 

 

Anyone knows where is a good place to upload images? The file sizes seem to be limited to only 2mb

I use photobucket, but wouldn't recommend it without a strong add blocker and reliable antivirus software, and even then I only still use it out of inertia.

The Warpfiend, an ancient and honoured contemptor of the warband who has long lost his name to history. Warp energies swirl and coalesce around the rune carved and battle scarred carapace, changing color from blue and purple under different lighting conditions.(basically done with pearl paints)

Decimator Daemon Engine, this particular machine has seen the deaths of countless warriors across innumerable battlefields. It particularly enjoys tearing apart transports with its massive siege claws and torching the soft, weak morsels within.

A deepstrike assault by the Elite Black Clad terminators formerly of the Justaerin shows the weakling thinbloods how a true astartes fight. The Venerable Dreadnought receives his last lesson on why the Chosen of Horus were considered the deadliest of the emperor's angels.

 

 

A valiant but futile last stand by the Brother Captain and his last surviving battle brother shortly before their gory demise at the hands of the vengeful Terminator elite. Bolter rounds and power sword thrusts bounce off the ancient Cataphractii warplate as Brother Vlakath pulps the defiant captain with 2 power fist blows while the tactical marine was felled by a single, well placed blow.

The Land Raider Achilles <Scion of Cthonia>

 

 

An ancient and honoured vehicle dating back to the earliest days of the great crusade, this particular machine has seen action across the galaxy. Last seen supporting Legion forces against the hated Ultramarines.

Supported by the brave battle brothers of Squad Talgur, the <Butcher's Cleaver> prepares to make an assault upon the pesky marine bikers

 

 

A salvo from the Kytan's massive guns tears the bike squad to shreds as the massive engine prepares to taste blood in melee. The lone surviving biker realized that he is totally screwed.

Chaos Lord Melkhor the Sly and his devoted followers. The Chosen squad led by the champion Tarkus the Mad had served the foul chaos lord for many millennia, eventually finding permanent service in the warband of the Gathering Storm. With a various assortment of lovingly maintained wargear, they serve as his honour guard across the battlefields of the 41st millennia.

 

The raptors of Squad Vidar are ruthless and avaricious even for their kind. With a predilection for drawing out the suffering of their prey, they are the premier terror troops of the warband when Melkhor the Sly takes to the field. 

 

Melkhor secretly plots for ever greater power and prestige within the diverse warband. With the support of his warriors, he eventually hopes to ascend to daemonhood one day and lead his own Black Crusade against the hated imperium of Mankind.
