Hi everyone Im deadly chicken and i started the topic so chaos marine players can show off their conversions and painting without angering other people!!!!!

So welcome and happy gaming!!!!

hi i wondered what you think of my models?????
all comments welcome!!!!

I would say that you need to thin your paints a little and the GW washes would be your friends.

A Devlin mud or Ogrin Flesh wash on the top pic would make a huge difference

Devlin mud over ever inch of it.
in fact, devlin mud over every one of them and be amazed

im mixed about the delvan mud, it would add some depth but might spoil the finery and richness of the armour and definitely will spoil drach'nyen

Wash with DM and then high light back up the armor. It will look 100% better i promise

Mix mud with sepia. It gives the "pop" of mud but kills some of the actual "mudiness" of the color and coverage.

All of the washes are ok but they really shine when you mix them.

Why would people get angry?

Thats interesting ive not tried mixing them!! I guess i will give it a go tonight

is this your fist army you painted?

@ kharn this is the first 40k army painted and the first decent, detailed army i painted

@alex i posted on a guys painting blog and got dissed by other people in the thread so..... well a lot of swearing later i made this topic!!!!! feel free to show off!!!!

i will try those washes, thnx!!!

I was the same way with my first army.
My chaos looked like crap when i was painting them.
So dont feel bad. You will get better at painting chaos marines as time comes and goes. Dont give up on trying.

Well for some more good um... (what do you call it?) well criticism I like the little chaos undivided mark on the head. Very good.

i wont give up and thnx jamunition

Here's my chaos lord. He was just a conversion/painting experiment as i don't collect chaos.

great work i love the cream trim, how did you get that red hint?? one problem for me, i dont think cutting of the horns made the helmet look much better.

but once again great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm, Chicken:

o It's not bad at all, it's just pretty basic. By this I mean the models don't have much depth in terms of shading and highlighting, and it's mainly flat colour for the most part. This is on no account a bad way to start, but if you want to start improving then you have to start trying out new, scary methods.

o Popping on a couples of washes will dirty up the men nicely. Upon that quite harsh red, it will have a nice effect. Perhaps mixing in some orange with the red to highlight it will bring out a more Khornate/Lava-like effect, which will bring you miles from where you currently are.

sA

You can't see it in those pics but the horns are part of his trident. So they weren't removed for asthetic reasons.

Here's the lord in full. the cream with a red tint is done by painting bleached bone washing with baal red then highlighting with bleached bone.

I love it, wouldn't change a thing! Looks very dynamic, great base too!

Woooow.

The cloak is very good.

Nicely done

My forge-world dred needs to be re-painted but here he is now:

I'll bite.


my defiler


bloodthirster (his base broke, so its getting fixed right now.)


inquisitor scale Fabious Bile


plague sisters and a rhino


champion of khorne jumpin' off his bike to hit you in the face with an axe


my little pony bride of frankenstein.



I have all the chaos.

WTF at the my little pony?

thats possibly the best thing i've ever seen

OK I know it's not a CSM but I will share my Horrors Colour Scheme with y'all

Oh and BTW, Deadly Chicken, One ! or ? per sentence is OK

lol any way great conversion pox love the champion of khorne!!!!!!! how does he stay like that?

do themodels have to be painted or not?????

lol awesome everyone. I'll have some pics up soon XD

AoBR SM dreadnaught with some slight conversions

looks great you can barely tell it was originally space marines!!!!!!!!!!

Either my post was deleted or i didnt press submit,or i pressed submit in my dreams o_-

I don't play Chaos, but I did a Typhus.



Also, Deadly Chicken, I recommend you either: A) thin your paints, or B) use a smaller brush. Your paint ends up so thick that it fills in many of the details of the models, and just looks messy. By thinning your paints a bit, they no longer end up obscuring the sculpt of the mini. By using a smaller brush, you can attain a higher level of detail, as well as be more careful about what you fill in.

thanks for the tips .love your typhus but just not enough contrast. looks too dull to me.

Contrast you say?



How's that? I've heard complaints saying that the contrast on this Typhus pic is too high, so I opted to use that first one.

alot better maybe brightwn the eye. he needs an evil glint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here you go Fafnir a freebie for you ( still feel sad you didnt add me as friend back, and we are both canadians! :"< )

Oh... yeah... that... I never reciprocate friend requests. On any forum.

But, just for you, since you're Canadian and awesome like that and everything, I'll do that for you. Later. When I... like... wake up... tomorrow... today... in 8 or so hours...

Well just out of curiosity, did the photo i *Fixed
actually look accurate with what you see in person?

*edit k now its weird... i was cleaning my mouse and i must have clicked something...

now everyone's pics are gone on my Fire Fox screen.

oooh dearie me!!!!

Here's my Havoc Squad. Sorry that this will probably take up most of your screen . This is the scheme for my army and so far it's turning out nicely. Now if I could just motivate myself to finish these Noise marines I'll be happy. I'm so burnt out from painting infantry (thank God/Slaanesh I'm not painting a horde army!)

Are you doing this to annoy me? ONE EXCLAMATION MARK IS ENOUGH! <- SEE!
if you really must have more than one, please have no more than three rather than 87 (yes I counted them!)

I painted up a Terminator Lord for my D&D campaign. Nice figure. Images in the Gallery!

*Slaps Deadly Chicken with a cold squid*

Less exclamation points. More Chaos.

The best part about chaos is that the codices are more like guidelines........

It's a bit brighter then the real thing. I'd say the proper image would be the midpoint between your pic and mine.

My dreads

i wish my camera worked now

Sexy lookin dread.

Silverdemon, can we get some more detailed shots of the dreads legs? I love it!

NICE WORK SILVER BUT I NEED TO SEE MORE.

my tzeentch sorceror

http://www.coolminiornot.com/31108

I need to put my stuff on the gallery sometime..

Nurgle Dreadnaught.

I am going to be getting some basic CSMs soon and sculpting them into Death Shadows. When I do, I will post them here (or in a WIP blog of some sort).

amazing dreadnaught!
please post here I'd like 2 c my thread grow

I have wave after wave of pics. Here's some of them. I have alot not photographed

um.......WOW !

Wow, Toymaker's Nurgle makes me sick in a VERY good way!
And Deadly Chicken, one ! YAY! You win a free hug!

Here's a Nurgly defiler' with maggots...

lots of maggots.

The fly Defiler is excellent, good work toymaker!
The Defiler with the maggots... while awesome, is absolutely disgusting.

I like this thread... its very Chaotic.

There are indeed many Maggots on the Defiler

Here's An old, unused CL conversion and a Spawn! I actually have two but the warping power of chaos disturbed my camera's focussing on the other

Thats weird, Anticitizens reply is not appearing in the thread, thank you though it actually made someone gag once.

thats ALOT of maggots! what are they made from?

that is ALOT of maggors! what are they made from?

The maggots are made of greenstuff, individually rolled out and placed on the model.

cool lord P4NC4K3

well theres my possed that im finishing

Very nice and i like the contrast of the blue head to the black body.

My dreads will edit soon to add something bigger.

Slannesh









Nurgle









Khorn dread

The dreads look nice. Its just a little hard to make out with how dark the pictures seem to be. From the well lit ones, they look awesome.

Yes it is ether flash and washout or no flash and dark pics.
I need a light tent.

meh just a couple of chaos minis i have done lately:

my chaos lord GAH! and defiler (yes i kno the havoc launcher needs painting)

great work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
love your lordy guy 99MD! how did you do his sword?
kool dreads sonofruss
and delfabs i see where you are coming from but your colours are a tad flat.
kool guys luvadeorks

I'm a little embarrassed to submit these pics considering how amazing some of the previous posts are, but here it is anyway. Dreadnaught with mutated hull.

Nothing to be ashamed of! That's pretty freakin' cool!

Haha, thanks. I really like the model, but I was somewhat of an amateur painter when I made it.

In fact, I'm still an amateur painter.

Sweet job on everything I see. I REALLY am impressed with what you did with Huron's face! the dude even has 5 o'clock shadow!


I can't contribute much, YET but here is an old "Fallen" squad I did up a few years ago.




A Sorcerer I did up for my old chaos army...


And sme WIP on my current Emperor's CHildren army

Apart from a few posts (So... Much... RAGE!) Deadly Chicken is really coming along in cutting back on !s The last post onl had 3 at once!

Maybe????his???keyboard??????is??broken???just????like??mine?

Hmmm the amount of chaos in this thread is disgusting. If only I held favor with a few inquisitors I would call them up, and ask them to purge the filth from this thread. But since I don't I might as well compliment you all.

Very well done models. For chaos I mean. :p But seriously I like the variety in this thread. A bit of everything from all the corners of chaos.

pox lovin the poney lol

Muggzy! I love the Fallen! Very cool!

I figured I'd add in a few of my Word Bearers I'm working on. They need a few coats in some places but meh, I haven't had much time to model/paint right now.

good lookin' stuff in this thread, I love maggots so I'm getting my fill. I'll take pics of some more of my chaos stuff soon, and throw it up here.

and just so were all on the same page, the my little pony is not actually for warhammer, it was a gift for an ex-girlfriend. she liked my little ponies as a girl, and now likes horror movies. what better gift than to make an Elsa Lancaster bride of Frankenstein my little pony?

hi guts just bought a TONNE of space marines of my mate and i need some help with conversion any tips on how to remove a shoulder pad?????

Alright, here's what I do to remove shoulder pads. I only use regular super glue, not plastic glue, so I'm not sure if this'll work for the latter. I take a paper clip and pull away one of the edges. Then I take pliars and flatten it as best as possible, and I mean VERY FLAT, so that it is even bendable. Coat it in nail polish and slip it into the small crack between the shoulder pad and the arm. All it'll take is a bit of working. Be gentle and eventually, it'll come off, without a bend but you'll need a bit of pressure to pull it up off.

I'll try it thanks!!!!

I'll also get some finished pics for you

o and any one got any ideas for a left arm for a DP or know how to dissolve plastic glue????? lol

Some of my Deathguard

kool

what you think of my winged DP. I used Pegases wings as i couldnt be bothered ordering them and i bought it second hand so i had no slots for them.

Liking the red

well, for what its worth, heres a few WIP pics of my chaos chosen with mark of nurgle






let me know what you think.

kool stuff but a tad messy and the mark needs more green!!!!

well there not finished yet, and the icons only got a undercoat on, still more to do yet, hence a wip pic

Those Nurgle Chosen are lookin pretty good. I love that three-eyed helmet.

they have mark of nurgle , i would've left them with the light armour colour , and not used the red trims , just go for full bleached armour , that looks way cooler for nurgle

at the moment, only 2 have the red trim, so i may go with just the bleached instead, i see what other coments i i get on the pure bleached look compared to the ones with trim

ahhhhhhhhhhhhh i like the bleached armour

@toymaker i no its a while back but i think your stuff is AMAZING!!!

i love the rhino with eyes and the fly deviler

Great work all of you!!!

here are a couple pics of my favourite PM. which means i am bound to roll a lot of (Gets Hot!) ones!!!! sigh.





thanks

AWESOME DUDE! U win. Cypher and his fallen Angels. Haven't seen that in a long time.

These pics are a bit old, but here's my princess

OMG......
Wow she kicks ass! i totally love the spear! how did you do the skin ?!?

Here's some of mine.










Rounded out with my almost finished Chaos Lord.

Here's a couple I've working on at the moment- wish the camera was better though....

I love that blood thirster and that titan is well.......... titanny!!!!!!!
where did you get the titan? how much was it???

Some of my Deathguard.

RE:

where did you get the titan? how much was it???

Both are from Forge World- the titan is one of 3 I've got to back up my Word Bearers Army (9000pts)
The Warhound I think now goes for £290 and the Greater Bloodthirster is £125- expensive but well worth it....

I've got the new Brass Scorpion next on the painting list - I'll add in pictures once I've started it.

yeah too bad your camera isnt good i love the diorama inside the titan and love the bloodthirster you should aslso check the yellow one from blue table painting (youtube)

P.S please even if you are just posting can you at least read the thread and try post a comment

Here's some older pics of my purple zerks:

Like the trims and rivet on those zerks.
heres 1 of my converted 'blits. this is just a taster and if you want more go to my blog; http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/232818.page#606642
ty C&C welcome

those colorful bezerkers are amazing!

ok, since i only have 2 chaos models, and only one of them has been photo-ed, i will show you him...behold...ABBADON THE DESPOILER OF WORLDS!!(insert evil laugh here)

still can't get over that pink daemon prince. Some of the best work I have ever seen is on this thread. I know your not supposed to swear but this thread has the most fething brilliant models ever!

BDJV, those are nice. Crisp, clean style. I love it.

because I'll never get tired of posting pics of this, how about a greater chaos dragon for fantasy?

http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n109/conversionman/360seven.jpg

the next two super heavies were commissioned work.

a reaver






and a brass scorpion






the same guy also wanted some fallen terminators for his chaos army, so I obliged.

closed robes

open robes


these were the test models, I wound up making twenty five for his army.

because there is so much nurgle love in this thread, here is a pic of my great unclean one. I've been playing for a very long time, and have a soft spot in my heart for a lot of the older models. the old GUO was too small, so I re-sculpted him to be in line with the new greater daemons.



I think this is probably the fourth or fifth model I sculpted completely out of clay. hes a bit rough around the edges, but I like him.

here's a good group shot for scale.




and in keeping with my trend of pictures that apply yet don't, I give you the following.

my beer stein (its huge, it holds 32 ounces of tasty beverage. I made it out of a flower vase, haha.)




and my dolly




thanks for looking!

Oh man! I love those Fallen Termies! I was hellbent on making Death Shadows for my CSM army and that is EXACTLY how I want their robes.

Got any tips on how to do that up on regular CSM bodies?

or in stead just us dark angel parts.

it would be the same with regular marines as it is for termies, with the exception of the cut-out for the backpack.

one trick I figured out early that might help is to do the torso and legs separate. I put the rope waistband in there for a reason.
I basically shaped the hood out of clay, the stuck it to the head. next, I added the clay to the torso, and smoothed in the creases. ( get rubber tipped clay shapers, they make a world of difference when doing soft features.)
for the lower half of the robes, do the overlapping creases in the front first, whether they are open or closed. once you have the hard lines, add in the clay for detail. I also use magicsculp for detail like that, rather than greenstuff. it dries much harder, so its easier to make armatures out of it.

if you only have green stuff, then come at the front from the sides. get your detail built up over the knees, then let it dry. after its hardened, you can add in the flap to the front. for these models, it took about three trys to figure out how the clay was going to sit on the legs. I'm still not happy with how the cloth sits, but the client was happy, so that was good enough for me. the later ones came out much better, so over the coarse of doing it 25 times, I kinda figured out how cloth sits.

closed robes are much, MUCH easier than open ones. with the closed robes, you can just build a pile of green stuff between the legs, and start to shape it when its at the right thickness. I would definitely try the closed robes first.

another tip is to make sure any and all erroneous detail is removed from the legs. if they have thew mark VI style legs with the prominent shin guards, cut the top off of the knee so it doesn't bulge out the robes.

hopefully I helped. if not, you can PM me with specific questions.

Great stuff Pox and I still love that Chaos dragon!

deadly chicken wrote:OMG......
Wow she kicks ass! i totally love the spear! how did you do the skin ?!?

The skin starts with a 2/1 mixture of liche purple and dheneb stone. Then I add tentacle pink and blood red to the mix and paint a layer. Then I add bleached bone to the mix in three successive layers followed by washes of baal red and liche purple, then I re-highlight with the lightest shade of my mix.

COOL
GOTA C MORE!

@ pox what was that stuff you used for the termie robes? is it similar to green stuff?

Its similar to green stuff, it just has a few different properties. Its a two-part epoxy clay called Magicsculp. It cures much harder than GS, and has no memory. I like using it, it just takes a little while to get used to it if you've used a lot of GS.

The biggest benefit to me is cost, Its about thirty bucks for five pounds.

Black Legion Chaos Space Marine


Again

[B]

WOW!
love the graduation on the horns!

Must admit, that above pic of the marine with the horns is quite good.

hmmmm sounds very good! might have to purchase some

Love the extended horns.

Thanks dudes. I made a whole unit of CSM who are "veterans" (odd word for CSM) of the EoT campaign, using the Possessed bodies, legs and backpacks, with possessed/mutation/commandd frame heads mixed through. Since there's been a positive reaction, when I paint the whole unit I'll definately post pics.

some pretty nice work iv seen in here makes me jelous haha i was wondering what kind of puddy would be the best for sculpting ?

hi all just posting an update.

If you have any models you would like to post just do but can you also post comment & advice too.

ty

here is my tank for more pics go to http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/233599.page
