Tzen Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I am lucky enough to have got my hands on the new Chaos Lord, and decided to paint him up as Black Legion. I will very likely be painting this guy up for my Word Bearers too at some point. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/blclwip1.jpg Loads to do yet, lot of tidying up and such, but not too bad so far. Gorgeous model, so cool to be getting some unaligned Chaos models! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351212-obsidius-mallex/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urauloth Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Really looking forward to seeing a Word Bearer version of this guy in the future. That's something I've been thinking about myself, but you're kind of the XVII Legion expert around here, and I can't wait to see what you do with him. He's looking fantastic in his Black Legion heraldry. I have a couple of questions if you don't mind. Firstly, what colours are you using for that fur? It's very rich and... pelt-like. I'd love to get an effect like that. Secondly, having built this mini, how hard would you say he'd be to head swap? From the sprue pictures I've seen it looks like it wouldn't be easy, since the head is part of the torso front and sits right next to the fur and cables, but I haven't actually seen the model in the "flesh" so to speak.

Son of Carnelian Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 In black and gold reborn! Someone is definitely in for a thumping. Can't wait to see the rest!

Glad you like him so far! It's been ages since I painted anything black legion. :D The fur is skrag brown > tau light ochre > screaming skull > a few dots of pure white here and there at the tips of the fur. Not every single one though. And I think swapping his head would be a bit if a job. Not impossible, but it isn't just a simple cut off and replace, it's very much moulded into the mini. Hope it helps. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351212-obsidius-mallex/#findComment-5192094 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 I think it would look even better as a Word Bearer. Bit of parchment here and there, a cheeky candle or three...

Tzen Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 You know it Slave! No idea what I will end up doing, but he would deffo look good in Word Bearers red. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351212-obsidius-mallex/#findComment-5192107 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Looks awesome so far bud, I can’t wait to get my hands on this box. Especially for the Traitor Guard.

CaptainBoxman Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 How easy would it be to remove the head without destroying detail on this guy? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351212-obsidius-mallex/#findComment-5192210 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 Thanks Bio :D And captain it's doable, but it's a bit of a job. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351212-obsidius-mallex/#findComment-5192243 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBoxman Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Any advice for doing so? Neck/head joined to the armour or something? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351212-obsidius-mallex/#findComment-5192252 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzen Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 I would just try and be as clean as I could with some clippers, and after that cut out the rest with a knife. A bit of file work would be good. After that it depends what head you are swapping in. You would have to make some more space if it was a helmet, as the piping round the neck is pretty restrictive.

MaliGn Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Shame to hear about the head, but then something being tricky never stopped me before! I think I will stick with my plan of using him as a base model to update my Word Bearers dark apostle. Liking your work as always Tzen, looking good, have you got the traitor guard too? Edit: Is that a pipe of some kind running around the Thunder Hammer? Where does it go and how easy would it be to open out the stance to the head of the hammer was away from the body rather than in front?

Tzen Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 I think it's deffo swapable, will just take some work. Glad you like him, I do have the traitor guard but I doubt I will be doing any of them. I just dont have time these days. :( The pipe from the hammer seems to go into the arm. I can't see anything else. I can't imagine the hammer head would be too difficult to convert.

I can't imagine the hammer head would be too difficult to convert. Good to kmow! While I'm excited for a CSM with a hammer, I might give him a spear anyway. Seeing this log has been very inspiring!

Tzen Posted February 13, 2019 Author Share Posted February 13, 2019 I began this model some time ago, but I started getting pretty unwell literally as I sat there painting him, and haven’t touched the mini for about three months. After spending some time recovering , I have finally got round to him again. http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/om1.jpg http://www.golden-throne.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/om2.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/351212-obsidius-mallex/#findComment-5255816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
