Hi everyone and welcome to my blog!

Finally i got around to start this it has been on my mind for months now. I have been painting for a few years now maybe five? I don't remember. There were longer breaks sometimes but i always came back to painting eventually, and i think i'am ok at it, i guess you guys can share some opinions with me on that. My photos may not be of good quality right now because i don't have any extra lights or a proper place to take my photos but we will see how they turn out.

But you came here to look at some minis so here we go

So as the title suggest i will post the progression of my CSM army. My army is not very big at the moment but i have plans to remedy that At the moment i have about 20ish regular marines, a defiler, two lords and a helbrute. Also i plan to post some other stuff on here too but i will mainly focus on my black legion. I do have to say this first before we get to pics. Some of my first minis are not converted because at first i did not believe i had the skills to do so but now when i get my hands on new models i have to make them look different. But that is not the end of the world i just thought i would point that out.

Oh and please leave comments i would love to hear other peoples opinions good or bad.



Here he is the first of many. Bit of an old pic but here you can see the color scheme. This one is one of the first marines i built and painted. Now that i compare to some of my later works i can say i have improved but its still ok imo.



So i told you there would be conversions right? Ok it's not an original idea but when i saw a similar defiler on MWG site i had to make one myself.



A couple different marines. The one on the left is a squad leader with a termie lord head and a lightning claw from a raptor kit. The scopes on the pistols and legs on the left and right ones are from anvil industries.

And here are close ups of the two converted ones.





All of these are still a work in progress so you will see them finished hopefully soon.

I hope to come up with some fluff of my own for these guys but that will come in the future.

I think that is it for now but i will upload more soon and i plan to get more marines in the not so distant future. But there is more stuff to show already.
So i hope you like what you see here and please leave a comment. Thanks

Really like the paint job on your Defiler conversion, well done! Black Legion can sometimes be difficult to make stand out, since so many folks tend to see them as the default traitor Legion, but I think your work is looking good thus far.

Nice to see a fellow worshipper Really like that Defiler, may have to borrow the idea Painting looks good, only thing I can say is some grey edge highlighting on your black to make ti look more dimensional. Other than that good job and hope to see more

@xeno99: Yes i imagine it can be a little tricky to look different from the rest but i got plans to make my guys stand out

@Nashbashem: thanks for the tip. I will be painting the highlights as soon as i get everything else done first.

Hey I'm back with more chaosy goodness or badness since their are you know sort of evil. This time with a terminator lord and a banner bearer. I really like the chaos lord kit, it comes with a lot of awesome bits. This lord has two lightning claws and he has an awesome cape. I really recommend the kit to all csm players and others as well it's amazing. The banner bearer was at first just a color scheme test for blood angels but i thought it will look good on my chaos army too at least for some special characters. I just had one small problem when i started to build him i did not have any spare legs left so i had to make my own He will have a bolt pistol on his other arm but i will put up some more pictures when he is assembled. The paint jobs on both of them is not quite finished yet. On the lord i have to paint the highlights and the shoulder pads. And the bearers legs are not done yet so i gotta finish those but its coming along nicely. Also i have a bunch of bits coming my way at the moment so we will see what i can come up with them in the future [/url [url=http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/633465-blog.html]

That red works really well on that Lord And I like your dark red on your other marine. Maybe you could use it on Khorne Berserkers?

Hello again!

So it has been a while. I first thought i would update at least every week but that obviously did not turn out as expected. Oh well i guess that means i have more to show.

I have made some progress on the black legion but not as much i thought i would ( and you will soon see why) I have a couple of regular marines almost done, i finished basing my terminator lord and banner bearer, and i have worked on a helbrute i got a while back but i have only been magnetizing all the weapon options witch there are a lot of. Also i will have kind of a teaser of my resent idea.



Here he is. Not much to look at yet



This guy is one of my favorite regular marines at the moment. I got a pile of chaos fantasy bits and this is what i came up with first.



Still have some details left undone.









Here are a couple more.

And here is the project i mentioned. It is another terminator. I really liked the lord and wanted to get more terminators but i don't want to buy any more models at the moment since i have so many unfinished models. Then i decided to make one partially from the bits i have and sculpt the rest myself. I plan to put a red led in him, i wanted to put led's in the defiler but because i am me i created the base in a way that i could not fit the battery anywhere so i hope i can try that out this time.



So i hope you like what you see and next i will show you something different from CSM. as soon as i can get some decent pictures of them. And please leave comments that is the reason we all show our work here.
