Oh man, these are rad! Great work Guardsman!

Awesome look on the Termies with great use of those Blightlords kits. And good on you for going with rule of cool on the Termies. 
 

The Raptors are looking really good. I love the daemonic tilt you’ve given them.

The Lord Ravager, Threxos Hellbreed, now ascended. 

 

 

The Host Raptorial, with 10 warptalons still to paint. :(

The black fading up to Red pops so well! Great looking force, Guardsman

The DP looks fantastic. I really like the bronze/gold work on the model. Interesting you chose the Khorne head. Is that how you typically play him?

I wanted a Hounds of Abaddon list i could run as WE or BL.  Gotta have a jacked herohamner DP of khorne for either list.

 

The BL version has the z'aall the weathful and hatred incarnate giving him 8 attacks at str 10 rerolling hits at d3+3 dmg.  The WE version im not sure about... options appear rather limited atm.

I finally got around to painting these chosen I bought a year ago. :(  I think I will add 5 more chosen and some zerkers next.  After that I will have nearly a full "hounds of abaddon" themed black legion army.

I love your Black Legion army, the red glows are so well done and looks so good with the scheme!

I'm loving the combination of the two different styles of highlighting. I feel like you need to do a bit more to balance out the airbrush highlights, though.

 

It's not a dig on your painting ability at all, so please don't take it that way. Your 'Eavy Metal style edge highlights are clean and your airbrush strokes are super controlled. The issue when I look at the models is they are so drastically different from each other stylistically they are clashing.

 

If I could make a suggestion, take a rank and file marine and paint in the eye lenses with white and an ink to match the red. It should make the eyes pop but still blend with the sprayed red around them. It'll break up the spray and make it look more like a glow. White on the plasma coils washed with ink would pop too.

 

Try it and see if you like it. If not, you're just out an overcoat and I'll shush!

This is why we don't get cheap on geller field maintenance!

 

I have been slow on updates but I have painted quite a bit since my last post.  I got 5 zerkers, accursed cultists, and a bunch of daemons.  Those aren't quite ready for sharing though.  After I finish these "sanguinary guard" im going to work on some gellerpox infected painted to be more accursed cultists of course.

That's awesome. great job. The colour palette is restrictive but it works so well with these models. Love the wings too.

The restrictive colour palette is on purpose!  Im allowed black, gold, steel, red, green, bone/paper.  I thought I would hate the purity seals being black but I like the idea of the warp tainting them.

Wow, I normally cant stand Black Legion models as  I think they are boring. Yours look amazing! Great mix of both blending two colors and edge lining. You normally only see one or the other.

Haarken Worldclaimer better watch his back!

He turned out sweet!

Amazing work, love this guy!

I too am painting black and Nurgle, not necessarily on the same model, but they are side by each on my table and will end up in the same army list. One big happy chaotic family.
