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

[Boc]

Have made a bit of progress on the leviathan body, most of the broad work is done and starting on some of the details as I work around the torso.

 

Tried to make the lights along the sarcophagus a light source... not really sure how I feel about it after the first go. I do need to touch up the gaps between the light and the dark. Maybe it'll grow on me tomorrow, but I'm tempted to just start those over and just make them dim red rather than going for the bright yellow.

[Boc]

Pretty good progress finally today, didn't quite have the mental strength with the kids during the long weekend

 

Debating a couple of weapon options, magnetize them all! Or maybe just the kit options

[Boc]

Common sense won the day with the weapon options. Maybe if I ever catch up on my pile of shame I'll screw around and actually work up a trex arm conversion lol

[Urauloth]

Nice leviathan! The tiny ghoul arm is so funny though, you should definitely magnetize it if you get a chance. I also like the destroyer icon on the kneepad.

[Boc]

Started working on the warp talons, since I'm apparently stuck on that model type lol.

 

Opted to go for a different look to better differentiate their look from the raptors: extra layer of the green wash to darken them up, silver instead of gold trimmings all around, and a purple eye glow. 

 

I tried for a bone claw look for the warp claws on this model. Not sure how I feel about it, so before doing more like this would be very interested in hearing thoughts on it.

[Boc]

Second warp talon done! Will be snowed in next few days so should make some decent progress lol

 

[Boc]

One more down!

The Talons are looking great! The bone claws are really cool.

Thanks! Glad you like the look! 

Was able to get the 4th warp talon done, and got the silver trim completed on the 5th, so I'm pretty optimistic about being able to finish up this unit by tomorrow, Wednesday at the latest.

These continue to be top notch.

I still very much love your bases.

Couple WIP shots of the next War Dog 

 

I wanted to make the Chaos Knights more different from the Sons of Horus (my armies over the years have been green CSM, green eldar, a brief affair with Blood Angels, green necrons, and Sons of Horus). Maybe another color, why not? 

 

This one will show a slight transition from the Noble to Dread Household, with partial paneling replaced. I'm wanting to do the big Knights more of the light gray/scarlet just ton try something new

Very productive week! I think I'm all set with the paint and weathering, just the base to go.

 

 

[Boc]

Finished this guy up today. Really wanting to get on to putting my actual Knight together but there's a few more things ahead of him in the queue.

 

Pictured here with the other War Dog I'd finished in the fall

Ah, you've embraced the cruelty of the dice, I see! 

[Grotsmasha]

Those Wardogs are looking tops

[Boc]

Started on the next model. Really like the pose, which I'd tried to do (and failed miserably) on a resin contemptor a while back. Chonky boy is on the run

Oof that squad is actually done! I posted in the 2023 challenge thread and forgot to post here as well

[Boc]

And finally getting around to paint this monster. Have worked on him probably two nights so far, only thing I'm not really rushing (because I'm always about finishing over perfection) was adding the brighter red before washing it back down with reikland. Pretty pleased with how he's turning out so far and he's not green! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Boc]

And this is why I have helmets on everyone lol

 

Other than the face, very happy how he turned out!

This truly is blood for the blood god.

And it is glorious.

[YannTheMad]

I feel you, helmets all the way XD

Beside, the model looks quite good ^^
