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

[Boc]

Boom very productive day! Managed to crank through the last 5 marines in probably around 4-5 hours, so a bit sloppier than I'd like but :cuss: it, they're done

 

 

[Boc]

Been a bit slow to end the month, but here's some progress shots on the Eldritch Omens Chaos Chosen

I not sure I'm happy with the bone spine/power pack. I painted it with my standard gold (screaming bell - gehennas - runefang dry) and then applied Blood Angels Red contrast over the top. I thought it'd look very different than the red for the cloak, but it doesn't seem to. What do you guys think? I'm pretty colorblind (seriously lol) so not sure if they really look the same or I just can't tell the difference because weaksauce eyeballs

 

 

[Urauloth]

It's different in that it's metallic, but it's basically the same colour. I how SoH colours look on that Chosen model, though.

[Boc]

Tried a dry brush to make it pop, then finished up the rest. Hope y'all enjoy! 

[Boc]

Chosen #2 complete, first for the monthly challenge

 

Just about finished another tonight, so hopefully will be done with 2 more tomorrow

 

 

[Boc]

3rd Chosen done! What do you guys think of the bone sword? Stick to normal or is it an okay look?

 

 

[Boc]

Had covid last week, luckily not a bad case but sidelined my progress for a few days. I did manage to finish up the rest of my Eldritch Omens CSM models, so that's a plus

 

Next up, painting a land raider I bought assembled from online like a decade ago

[Boc]

Took a bit of a break when one of our dogs died, she was 12 so lived a long and good life, pic below for "aww"

Got over the light depression funk this past weekend and finally made some decent progress on the land raider I've been procrastinating. Really not happy with how the greenshade went on (my worst so far imo), but fuggit, we'll get 'er cranked out one way or another. Have to wait for the white water effect to dry, then will be coloring the normal bloodsmears everywhere, some dust and soot, and hopefully done tomorrow!

[Boc]

Finished the land raider as planned tonight! Just have to do a clearcoat matte spray, but for all intents and purposes, he be done

[Boc]

Bit of a change of pace this month. Had gotten the Chaos Knights army box when it was released, and this little guy has been patiently waiting his turn. 

 

Really like the Huntsman variant, but realized a bit too late that the claws were not, in fact, the chain talon. Because pictures are hard haha. Thank goodness for magnets! The Daemonbreath Spear is done apart from weathering powders, as I'm trying to finish this one by kind of quadrants instead of my "uh this color then this color" madness. We'll see how it goes.

 

 

[Boc]

Still have some work left on the head, but apart from that and some touch ups on the claw, the top is done

[Pearson73]

Really like how you've painted the claw!

[Marshal Mittens]

Claw looks good. 

[Marshal Mittens]

Claw looks good. 

[Boc]

Finished up the war dog! Noticed a few things I'd missed but have to wait a day or so for the blood puddle to dry to fix it. 

Very happy with how it turned out though! On to the destroyer squad

[Valkia the Bloody]

I still admire your bases. They look great. Must be coming together perfectly as the butcher fields of Istvaan when the whole army is seen together.

[Boc]

Got the first of the missile launcher marine completed

 

Just noticed how the decal on the shoulder is bubbled, so I'll stab it a bit with the hobby knife tomorrow lol

[Boc]

Finished another tonight, thinking I'll get the last two done tomorrow. Shoulder pad decal went on a lot smoother on this one.

 

Anyone think the SoH helmet looks too dark? I'd done them as gold on other models but opted for a grittier look

[Boc]

Whole squad (for now) is finished up!

Where are your skulls for basing from?

These are not the Citadel ones? Are they Kromlech?

They're from Secret Weapon Miniatures, who I think unfortunately went out of business during COVID

[SlickSamos]

This whole thread is a gruesome work of art! Absolutely love it!

They went out of business?

Sucks.

They were such a great company.

Website is still up, they'd had a warehouse liquidation sale I think end of 2021 that I went wild on to make sure I wouldn't run out lol

[Boc]

And here I was thinking I'd moved at a decent pace on these last ones... guess not lol

 

Finished up another raptor squad, thinking I'll need another 2 as pistol/chainsword options to meet my list options for 40k, but we'll see

 

Next up is my first leviathan dread. In the queue is my first Chaos Knight (unbuilt), 8-10 warp spiders, and then maybe Horus
