blackbabyjesus Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 When I got the grand master edition last year I was dead set on Legio Astorum, painted one blue titan and decided against it! I always do good guys, so I've decided instead to do the baddest of the bad guys! Sadly I painted all the knights from the box as loyalists, guess I'll just have to buy some more!

Fajita Fan Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 You can just paint Chaos stars over loyalist icons as they begin their descent into madness. Great work!

Mandragola Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 That’s really nicely done. The paint has gone on really well and does a great job of bringing out the details of the kit.

Gillyfish Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Very crisp painting, particularly around the plasma coils. I also like the different red stripe on the plasma arm and the checks on the volcano cannon arm.

blackbabyjesus Posted August 21, 2019 Author Share Posted August 21, 2019 Finished up a reaver a little while back, just got round to taking photos. Changed the legion of my 'for scale' dudes too, they're now Sons of Horus. The Warmaster's legion and the Warmaster's legio! Got 2 Warhounds assembled and waiting for primer too, just have to finish off their bases.

Gillyfish Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Gorgeous work. Where did you get the basing items by the way (not the marines, but the rest of it)? I'd like to do something similar with mine. Looking at your Warlord again did make me think the World Eaters looked a little bit like they were guarding the Warlord, which amused me (I need to get out more).

I'd like to do something similar with mine. Looking at your Warlord again did make me think the World Eaters looked a little bit like they were guarding the Warlord, which amused me (I need to get out more). it's just textured plasticard and stuff from my bits box, the reaver base is a couple of roofs from civitas imperialis buildings and a fuel tank from an imperial knight thermal cannon. The lampposts are 0.8mm brass rod with a little bit of shaved down sprue for the lamp, the roads are 240grit sandpaper and the mud textures are done with baking soda. World Eaters have gone completely now, got SoH on the warlord too, replaced the rhino with a Sicarian, will have to put a photo up at some point.

blackbabyjesus Posted August 22, 2019 Author Share Posted August 22, 2019 600 grit would probably be a better scale, but it doesn't drybrush as well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/356812-bbj-does-legio-mortis/#findComment-5372659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbabyjesus Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 Bit of progress on some Warhounds tonight. Hopefully finish these before the end of the month, then I'm probably gonna do some knights.

blackbabyjesus Posted October 9, 2019 Author Share Posted October 9, 2019 (edited) Finished off the Warhounds this afternoon, pretty pleased with them . Weapons are all magnetised for easy loadout changes, though like everyone else they'll be Vulcan Megabolter / Plasma Blastgun most of the time. And here's a shot of the maniple so far, I have another Warlord to assemble but I'd really like to pick up another Reaver so the melta/chainfist reaver kit will likely be the next thing I add, along with some fancy forgeworld weapons.
