Cheers Damo! I posted up the purple list on your thread for you as well

Update: some highlights done on Drask

**ZergSmasher**

Finally caught up on your thread again, and boy have you been busy! So many excellent Chaos characters! I think the best one you did is Lucius. He turned out fantastic!

**Knightley**

@ZS - Heh things have moved quickly in the last two weeks eh?

Update: Almost done all the bits

**Gitsplitta**

Good Lord man... are you going to magnetize ALL those arms?!

**Knightley**

Going to? that was done in WIP 1

yes, a tonne of little 2mm x 1mm magnets all over him.

Update: the brothers grimm are done as well as I can, waiting on a white Micron pen to see if I can squiggle easier, Regarding the base, I'm at a loss as how to base this Chaos Army, I really dont want to do them the same as my marines, perhaps Martian Earth? or would that be to much red? Very open to thoughts!

Drask

Drusk

Drosk

**Gitsplitta**

Looks awesome Knightley. Nicely done.

**Littletower**

Awesome job, well done. Swaps are absolutely seamless, and all combos look great.

**tipios**

The silver really pops out nice. No drilling of barrels?

**Knightley**

@Gits - Thank you

@LT - You should see it from my end, some of the arm holes didn't quite match up as well as I would have liked so on a couple of arms the shoulder pads are very askew

@Tipios - Cheers, Just waiting to get a new drill bit for my barrels, the one I currently have is not up to the task.

Update: Well with all the higher ups done, it's time for the low level scum, please remember these guys are only getting a very basic scheme and a wash, I *may* do highlights later on, but it wont be this year

The added bonus, these guys will be pretty quick to get through, so expect more pictures sooner.

**Spacewolverine**

Lord looks really sweet! Cannot wait for more Cultist! I love cultist, their heads are what do it, plus they look great as is.

**Knightley**

Thanks Spacewolverine, great to see a new poster on my blog

Update: next group through their stage 1

**Knightley**

Update: group 3 stage 3

**Gitsplitta**

Boy, you're really moving through those quickly.

**Knightley**

Cheers gits, It really helps that I'm using 5 colors and then a brown wash.

Update: group 4 underway

**Camkierhi**

Sorry not commented in a while.

Love all the work, great stuff.

I think these latest look great, you are getting through them mega fast, but it is because you are so exact with the paint, they still look crisp and cleanly painted. Don't get me wrong they look the filthy scum of the universe they are meant to be, but because you are so accurate they look great, even with just five colours and a wash. If I tried that they would look crap.You get away with it, jammy bugger.

Like the relatively traditional scheme as well, will look a nice brooding bunch when they are all together.

**Knightley**

No worries Cam, Just as a heads up as well, these are all pre wash, their final picture will include the wash so you can see them all in their muddy gloriousness

Update: Group 5 base layers done

**Spacewolverine**

They are turning out well! Remind me of a catch all not just Cultist but, I have ideas of Hive Gangers are going through my mind! Love it, not too chaos with a great subtle paint scheme.

**inmygravenimage**

Your ability to batch paint without getting bored, and bring brilliant in the process, never ceases to amaze.

**Knightley**

@SpaceWolverine - Cheers, I think they look ok with a wash as well, should be able to group shot them tomorrow for you

@Graven - Hahah, I never said I wasn't bored! I am really itching to get onto some Inquisitors

Update: Last two cultists base colours done

**Knightley**

Update: group shots!

Close Combat Cultists

Ranged Cultists

**Knightley**

Update: started on some chaos marines

**Knightley**

Update: special weapons etc

**Camkierhi**

Nice classic look, great start.

Cultists look great as a group as well.

**Knightley**

Cheers Cam, much appreciated

Update: started the Sgt of the group

**Bash the Bosh**

Great stuff Knightley! Clean and crisp. Just how I like my CSMs.

**Gitsplitta**

Nice work!

**Knightley**

@BtB - Thanks Bosh, appreciate the reply

@Gits - Cheera

Update: doing the last remaining team member now

**Gitsplitta**

Very intimidating.

**Knightley**

Cheers Gits, to be honest though I don't like the chosen from DV, I guess I've painted marines for far to long, having to try blend lines to flat plates wasn't fun.

Update: Squad done

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Update: Got started on some close combat marines
