Here's the first two Chosen painted up for my squad, I'll start working on the other two soon. The fifth needs to be built due to a weapons mishap with the original fifth member.



They have cloaks as I liked the idea of them sneaking across the battlefield due to their infiltration ability.

Looking good there, so when do we get to see some of the red boys in pre heresy colours?

I did try the pre heresy colour on a few armour plates of one of the Thousand Sons marines but it looked to Khornate so I went over it in blue. As I intend on adding some Khorne berserkers at a later stage I'm not sure if I will go down that route.

Still open to ideas on how it can be done though as I have a second squad of Thousand Sons to paint and I could do with a different colour to paint other than blue!.

I'm afraid they are already under coated black. I'm sure I can think of something else to do red.

Well my thinking is on the ball today I could paint my terminators in pre heresy colours. I plan to use Grey Knight Terminator bodys for these, they would look very elite in red.

Or a dreadnought but I don't have either of these yet but the terms are on the list of things to buy.

Oh speaking of buying models I had a strange idea when I've painted army's for all four chaos gods I had an idea to have a character to tie them all together like a master of chaos. The plan although I may not be able to pull it off was to do a daemon prince size terminator based on a 54mm model. I'm not very good enough at GS to build one from scratch but may be able to GS a suit onto a model as it should be less work.

Sounds interesting. BLACKHAND has done some red GK terminators... they look really nice.

Quick question from back in The Lost and the Damned did pink horrors turn into two blue horrors when they were killed?

I know they don’t now, I'm looking at painting mine the main colour whichever one it was I can’t remember now it’s been a while and then fading the second colour into the extremity’s head feet and arms.

Well I'm on my holiday at the moment so when I get a chance to stop doing the gardening I'm painting up my Thousand Sons.

I managed to finish two more Chosen today as below, there will be a big gap before the next one is painted as he's in line to be undercoated with my objective marker I keep forgetting. I need a few more models though before I spray them.



I also have an army pic of the models painted so far for you.



I have an event that I'm hoping to play in at the end of August its 1500 points and will be my first game since 2nd edition. Yeah I know I'm jumping straight into the deep end.

In regards to the army from my so called army list I still have the following to paint before then.

2 Missile Launcher dudes for my Havoc squad

1 lone Chosen marine

1 Sorcerer for my Thousand Son squad

1 Full squad of 6 Thousand Sons and Sorcerer

1 Vindicator (to be purchased)

1 Necrodefiler (waiting for delivery of the Sphynx to convert)

It doesn’t look much but with how slow I paint it’s going to be close and I expect I will muck the Vindicator up, never was any good at painting tanks.

Exciting Times!

Thanks I have seen those but I will be using Thousand Son heads for my Greyknights when I get round to them, I'm going to paint them pre-heresy colours which should make them stand out as an elite unit in the army.

Well a little mid week update for you all.

I've been trying out a paint scheme for the basic Chaos Space Marines for my army, they cant be Thousand Sons as they would get mixed up with the actual Thousand Sons marines and that could get rather complicated during a game. So instead I've chosen to paint them in the colours of The Reborn.

This is the test mini, thanks to Gitsplitta for some tips on how to get the effect on the armour.



I'm going to look at getting some older style marines for this squad when I have some spare cash, most likely from Forge World and maybe some heads from Chapter House. The Reborn are supposed to use antiquated weaponry and wear corroded armour.

Also I have started a mini blog for my none chaos stuff which can be found here with my efforts from this weekend.

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/367392.page

On a Khorne realted subject what colours should Khorne Berserkers be? All the pictures of models have them as either World Eaters or Black Legion, which look really bad. Is there any other chapter that worships Khorne with colours that are not red and gold?

Thanks

Can't remember where i saw it, but somewhere on here there is a guy who has done his Berzerkers orange and black. Looks really sweet.

If you want to do them another colour just choose another one, say that they worship a different manifestation of khorne. He dpoesn't care as long as there is blood.

And if you do the orange, orange and blue complment each other

I'm ok at small conversions but no good at modelling, I have sent a query off to some one who is though. I'm waiting to hear back on how much a custom 54mm Terminator would cost me, at the end of the day if its too much I'll have to think of something else.

Miss Dee wrote:or do them blue and white pre heresy colours


I'd never seen their pre heresy colours before, they are very different.



Thanks they look very nice although I don't think they would fit in with my painting style for the rest of the army but its a good reference point.

Thanks Mu, he looks better in person as that photo was under poor lighting. I must start to take my photos in the day light only or maybe invest in a small light tent.
