Red Corsairs Master of the Maelstrom - Shark-tank reborn

[gaurdian31]

Great job on the new corsairs and excited to see the black legion! Also that lord is the best lord. Still one of my favorite Chaos models.

[Muskie]

Good work on the Nurgle guys.

[TrawlingCleaner]

Thank you folks!

I'm getting there with the Black Legion, I've been painting less/painting easier projects these last few weeks as the UK is quite warm at the moment. Progress so far:

 

Still loads to do but we're looking pretty nice so far!

I'm essentially copying the scheme I've painted for my pal previously (these models I'm painting are also for him)

 

[gaurdian31]

Looking good! Are you going with blue eyes for this batch as well?  Also Khârn looks great in black!

[Volgon]

Really liking the Khârn! Is he for a Hounds of Abaddon warband or just using similar colors? Either way as guardian31 said it's cool to see him in a different color scheme.

[TrawlingCleaner]

Thank you both!

@gaurdian31 The eyes are going to be blue as you'll see in these photos, otherwise I think I'd have to much Red on some models!

@Volgon Khârn was painted up last year for the same pal I'm painting these guys for. He was doing an undivided BL army that he could branch out to all the Cults and keep the same scheme. I figured Hounds was the most obvious choice to keep everything unified although he's not branching into World Eaters anymore

 

I started edge highlighting all the black armour and hated it so wnet back in with a sponge and went for a more battered look. Not quite as battered as The Purge models though:

 

They're still not finished by a good chunk of the way there!

 

[gaurdian31]

The weathering looks great, they look like they have been in the fight for awhile. The blue is looking good for the lenses as well!

[TrawlingCleaner]

Thanks gaurdian! They are Veterans of the Long War after all

 

After a few very busy weeks, I've managed to get most of the Black Legion done and also the rhino for my Corsairs:

Nothing fancy but is definitely a good showcase in how much Nuln oil has changed in pigment looking at the the 3 rhinos together! New Nuln Oil is much more of a grey than a black wash

 

Black Legion so far:

 

The Forgefiend got a lot more work after the photo was taken is basically there apart from the base. I saved the best til last and will be getting the Defiler done!

 

 

[gaurdian31]

Rhino looks great! Also really digging the BL and the fiend is coming along great! Excited to see another defiler!

[TrawlingCleaner]

Shark-tank is getting there but still so many basecoats to go down before the wash step!

 

 

[Tallarn Commander]

Shark Tank is brilliant (and somehow adorable)!

[Dr_Ruminahui]

Yeah, that thing is gloriously ridiculous.

[gaurdian31]

It is coming along great! Shark tank is best tank!
