Prot Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 While I use my blog for detailed posts, I'd like to do a little summary of figs I've painted, and battles I've played here: I guess I'll be doing this a bit backwards, but here is Abaddon: Syrakul, ChazSexington, Sception and 25 others 28 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356282-prots-black-legion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prot Posted June 7, 2019 Author Share Posted June 7, 2019 Thanks very much guys. Here's some more completed shots from a 6 round ITC event I attended with the army. That 6th game is just grueling. The Army on display. And a super fun squad to play/paint: A post of a little image dump from day one of an ITC tournament: LINK And for anyone interested in my 'fun list' attempt at an ITC tournament, I've just finished the Day 1 report: HERE Thanks for checking out the progress! Definitely need to tweak the list if I want it to be competitive. I'm not surprised though, and have no regrets as it was a fun army to play. brother_b, Subtle Discord, Dr_Ruminahui and 12 others 15 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356282-prots-black-legion/#findComment-5327691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 A small correction: If you don’t know the hot thing to do with Daemonengines is to play them with the Flawless Host because of exploding 6’s in close combat and the Disco Lord makes that +1 within 6″. Regular Daemon engines gain nothing by being Flawless Host since, as you hopefully know, they don't get Legion traits. It's really just the Disco Lord who benefits (a LOT) from being Flawless Host and only since the Errata.

Prot Posted June 12, 2019 Author Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) http://prot40k.blog/2019/06/07/black-legion-chaos-at-itc-day-1/Love your work! Do you have any guides for Abaddon's nebula/galaxy cloak? I'm getting several requests for how to do that sort of starfield. You do need an airbrush, but it's somewhat layered, and I have a way of adding depth to it that I'd really like to do a video on. The technique started back when I did Eldar (no airbrush) and did starfields on the heads of Wrathlords. Now it's evolved into this and I think it best suits a video for the complexity. I have to figure out if my phone can handle it. Another awesome looking army prot! Love those havocs. The wound counter where did you get that? I'm trying to remember. They aren't cheap, and they're magnetized. I'll look for the transaction bills... and I have a review I'm writing up for them. Wow! Thanks for the batrep. Your blog is wonderful in both rich photos and pithy commentary. I echo Chaz, would it be possible for you to provide us with the recipe for your galaxy/nebula cloak? Thanks so much for reading it. I have put up Day 1 of the ITC 6 game tournament I attended. I did not fair that well, but had fun. I took basically what I had painted for my newer Black Legion. Match ups were super hard though. I never seemed to get an 'easy' game.

Aothaine Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Outstanding work as usual Prot! Did you use wetblending on the cloak? It almost gives off a tie-dye look. :D Prot 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356282-prots-black-legion/#findComment-5468620 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaVolt87 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) The cloak and backpack colours are trippy I like it. You should do some gun casings in those colours/style as like a homage to the weapon skins memes in FPS's/ shooters.

Prot Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 While not Black Legion persay, my Knights play with my Black Legion usually and I consider them an extension of the Black Legion. (However I've had much more competitive games with the Knights and Flawless Host (Disco Lords)) I am currently trying to find ways to get my Black Legion to competitive play. So I thought I would finish my Preceptor/Desecrator Knight which usually runs with the Autocannon Wardogs.

Prot Posted May 19, 2020 Author Share Posted May 19, 2020 I've been trying a very aggressive Black Legion list based on my Tournament ITC list. I had one very strong game vs. Dark Angels, but I think it was a horrible match up. That battle report is HERE. Here is the rematch vs the formidable fish people (tau) and I didn't change a thing in the list. The battle report is on my blog with pictures HERE. battle captain corpus and Tallarn Commander 2 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356282-prots-black-legion/#findComment-5524059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrainFireBob Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 Hey Prot- I must be missing the 2nd relic? You get one for a Warlord Abby isn't taking. I would say a Chaos win is a win this edition. Blowouts just aren't in the cards. Chaos has killy enough units, but too fragile. Besides, you chucked your Havocs turn 1, you were playing with a handicap.
