Boc's All Chaos, All the Time (Legionaries complete, Defiler WIP)

[Valkia the Bloody]

These look great!

Nicely done on the grime and weathering.

[Smoke Frog]

I like the shield-bearing marines (breachers?) they look fantastic! 

[Boc]

Thanks for the feedback!

 

After using the Warpsmith in a few matches in a local narrative campaign... I ascribed his dismal performance to the fact he was the only model not fully painted. Hopefully next week he sucks less!

 

 

 

Was also able to, since the family is out of town for the week, finally finish up my March pledge

[Pearson73]

Nailed it! The Warpsmith is very nicely done, particularly the plasma pistol and the various metals amongst the piping/tools. Highlights and weathering are solid on the Rapier too.

[Boc]

Thankya! The Warpsmith was easily the longest I'd spent on a single model in a hot minute, and I was really happy how he turned out.

 

Not much progress this weekend, wife and kids came back from a trip so quality time and frantic cleaning lol

 

But the first 30ishk raptor for this month is complete. Opted for shoulder decal instead of using my diminishing SoH shoulder pads (I've got a printer but haven't gotten the hang of not sucking yet)

 

[Boc]

Got the squad Sergeant knocked out, one cross crested helm means the whole squad is 30k, right?

 

[Boc]

Finished up a Vindicator that's been gathering dust for ten years. Still not too happy with how my green wash looks on tanks, but eh

 

I based it outside and dropped it into a pile of snow on accident, and decided to keep the textured look on the dozer blade lol

 

[Boc]

3 out of 5 raptors done, only a week left shiiiiit

 

[Dosjetka]

That's quite a rugged, weather-beaten Sons of Horus collection you have here, Boc! Are these supposed to represent late-Heresy Sons?

 

Also, any plans on painting the Warmaster himself? :)

[Boc]

Progress update, most of the legionaries for this month's challenge are complete

 

 

Started breaking up the monotony of marine models with the forgefiend, so here's some update shots of the WIP there

 

Head section I think is done except some source lighting from underneath the neck and weathering

 

[Marshal Mittens]

Love your weathering! Great looking force overall!

[Boc]

Okay finished up the forgefiend, then proceeded to sit on my ass most of the month. 

Really happy with how he turned out though. For the demon flesh, used screaming skull + light earthshade + blood angels contrast + light nuln oil, really turned out exactly like I hoped

Got cracking this weekend on some of the infantry models in my queue, and managed to finish up the totally-not-a-Dark-Apostle and a Mk III Apothecary 

Now, debating what I should do for July

 

The Land Raider is a definite, since it's been waiting for about 4 months, then either the Kratos or part of the Chaos Knights army box I impulse bought when the new codex came out. Any thoughts?

[Grotsmasha]

It has to be the Kratos first....

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Really liking those flames on the dark apostle and the head swap is nicely done too.

[Urauloth]

I like how that helm looks on the apostle. Nice work!

[Boc]

Small update, most of the bulk work is done for the Kratos, still have to finish up the sponsons and corner weapons and do weathering galore

 

Plus blood everywhere

Eventually I'll either buy or print a Horus model, they were out of stock on my last impulse buy lol

[Boc]

Not as much done today as I would've liked, but got the rest of the choom ready at least as well as all the decals

 

Probably will work on weathering and battle damage tomorrow and hopefully the first layers of blood/gore on the treads

 

 

[Boc]

Woo finally finished on this big chonky boy

 

I used liquid effect to add texture to the treads then finished up the weathering and gore effects tonight. I then noticed today that the blood pile ups on the armor going across the treads would only build up driving in reverse... woops

 

Very pumped how it turned out, even though the greenshade wash I can't seem to not get streaky http://bolterandchainsword.com/uploads/emoticons/censored.gif when applying over big flat panels

 

[Boc]

Not a lot done since Wednesday, I've got the first 5 marines of the rotor cannon heavy support/havoc squad done, and good lord that's a lot of barrels to drill

 

 

[Boc]

I played a game of nap roulette today and lost most of my free time before taking the kids to the pool.

I did manage to finish up my first heavy support marine at least

[Boc]

GEE I WONDER WHAT I'M GOING TO PAINT FOR AUGUST

[Boc]

Oh and for the sake of an actual update, 3/10 now down

[Naryn]

Love this specialist squad! The variety in helmets really gives a lot of character.

[Boc]

Another two havocs/heavy weapons squad marines complete!

The last 5 have gotten the green wash all over and the chain cannons black put on, going to see if I can assembly line them tomorrow

Perknof Mk VI armor is it's MUCH faster to paint without all that trim

 

[Tyriks]

That Kratos looks amazing!
