Zhul Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Hi Guys, After seeing the fantastic art that this forum produces, I got bitten by the hobby bug again (after some years of hiatus). The only problem was: which legion should I commit myself to? I was even asking you guys for helping me decide between the World Eaters and the Word Bearers. But after reading "Betrayer" i finally figured that the fluff (esp. the nails) of the World Eaters does not fit into my view of a coherent army/brotherhood - thank you ADB So the decision seemed to be made, Word Bearers it is and so I almost started building. Almost. Then I read "Talon of Horus" and things became clear - Black Legion was what I was looking for - thank you ADB The Hounds of Abaddon (part of the Black Legion) offer me the chance to still favour Khorne and use some of the best Space Marine Models GW has made so far - Bloodbound. So I present you, my first model. I need to work on photography, mouldlines and drill those muzzles. The conversion is really subtle. Please have look. C&C welcome. http://i.imgur.com/N61ZVvh.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332206-i-will-make-them-pay-for-what-they-have-done/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

lionofjudah Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I love the conversion possibilities... only change I would personally make is to cut the boots off and switch with armored legs. Looking forward to seeing more from you Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332206-i-will-make-them-pay-for-what-they-have-done/#findComment-4690618 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptix Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Hope you're planning on removing the mold line on that gun ;) Apart from that, awesome job. Can't wait to see them painted.

Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Nice pose and conversion. Aside from the light source needed to be moved forward to hit the front of the model a little better, the photography is fine. The bigger issue is that you could do with a bit of adjusting in a photo editing program and cropping the picture to remove all that empty space. Like so. http://i.imgur.com/x2dbuDT.png Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332206-i-will-make-them-pay-for-what-they-have-done/#findComment-4690663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhul Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Thank you very much for the comments, really appreciated. @lionofiudah I was thinking about this too. However, thinking of the costs (money is always an issue - as I suck with green stuff) I decided against it. I hope that, due to them being Black Legion, that the boots won´t stick out too much, as for example with red armour. @Cryptix mould lines will be forever my nemesis... I am trying to remove them, but then I see them on the photos and think to myself, how could I not see them while cleaning the model? @Kage Thank you very much for the photography tips, I hope i could incorporate it already in the new photos Here we have the newest additions: http://i.imgur.com/tbes30f.jpg He has a rather dull pose, but I hope that he will blend in on the battle field http://i.imgur.com/qfLX3R7.jpg This one has a rather nice expression, but is a sucker to photograph lol http://i.imgur.com/plOsDks.jpg This is my "counts as" powerfist http://i.imgur.com/Tzpr37w.jpg Groupshot Please let me know what you think!

hushrong Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I am really wondering if the boots could be replaced with the greaves from MKIII armor from the Prospero box. Regardless this is looking good.

vharing Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 They look good man. I have a bunch of the blood warriors from the starter set I'm planning on converting to be berzerkers as well For the Warmaster!!

SickSix Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Yeah the bloodbound are everything Khorne beserkers should be. If I was going to do BL or Khorne CSM I would totally use those models.

Hod Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Looking good,and I really like the conversions. Can't wait to see some paint on them.

Sception Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Nice conversions, Zhul! Did something similar using the starter box models for a berzerker unit. Sadly, I've kind of lost the 40k spirit, so I don't know when I'll get around to painting them. I look forward to seeing yours painted, maybe that'll provide some inspiration to get me moving again.

malika666 Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Looking great, but could you do something about those leather boots?

Zhul Posted March 22, 2017 Author Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thank you all for your feedback! @Malisteen I hope i don´t take too long until i will slap paint on them. Usually I tend to first build the complete army before starting to paint... @Malika666 Yes it is bothering me as well, however I don´t have a solution yet I just hope that when painted, it won´t be too obvious and will blend in with the rest of the armor So here we have today's addition, a plasmagun: http://i.imgur.com/wd0V2Fm.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/332206-i-will-make-them-pay-for-what-they-have-done/#findComment-4692269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
vharing Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I would like to think that the chaos legions after this long may have run out of quality armour replacements. The greaves and what not might need to be supplemented with boots at this point.

Claws and Effect Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 MkII or III chainsword blades. They curve around about 1/3rd of the way down the inside of the blade. Could probably work with that if you get creative.

Zhul Posted March 25, 2017 Author Share Posted March 25, 2017 Hi guys, I updated some of the models with chainswords/demonaxe so they look a bit more 40Kish. Please let me know what you think.

The Traitor Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Very cool thread, I really like your conversions, blood warriors make for great khornate CSM. However the only nitpick I have is that the boots seem a bit odd in 40k. I know they're a pain to remove, but I would seriously consider doing something about it, because everything else seems great and they look somehow off... I specially like the huge chainsaw in the new lord, it looks brutal and ready to cut through loyalists!

Bjorn Firewalker Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Impressive. The Chaos Marine dual-wielding boltguns, looks as if he stepped out of Todd McFarlane's comic book art.

Custom Hero Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 If you have a way to mold you could always make a mold of each of your Lord's lower legs and cast them for your other armors. You would only have to cut under the knee armor and replace them with the cast lower legs after trimming. Just a thought. Love the work so far. Only thing out of place to me is the boots.
