Post by: Capitansolstice


Hey all, I've decided to re-start my blogging attempts. I guess I'm not sure how to start, but I think I'll just follow example and start by giving you some random stuff about me, along with the army background, goals, and other things.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
About me
I'm 14 and started gaming when I was 12 and a half. I started out playing vanilla marines from a couple of black reach sets with my friends. after a year or so of Vanilla, I realized how much I disliked them, mainly because everyone I knew had at least a few squads of them. Because I feel like I'm a creative person, and I enjoy being the kid that walks into the FLGS, and has other people say "woah! what are those?" I decided to pick the most obscure army at that time, Chaos renegades. I picked them up because they were different, and they looked like with a combination of good ol' American ingenuity, and some FW parts, I could do something amazing. I started off and bought some generic guardsmen, but when I started to try and get into the real "Renegade" side of things, and buy some Forgeworld upgrades, I realized they were way out of my price range, so they were pushed back into my cabinet of eternal doom for a year or so, while I sporadically messed around with my Knights of Solstice Vanilla marines. Now, I have ammased enough funds for sporadic FW purchases, and have decided that it is time to start my FW dream army.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Mandatory Background
the fire crackled and popped as Rangok's squad of defiled fed it with the rubble of the ruined Imperial sanctorum, the siege had lasted for months, but the city was holding thanks to the talents of these apostles, and some help from Papa Nurgle. Their cult of worshippers and lowlife had been discovered when an Imperial commissar had been assigned to the regiment to oversee the planet, and since then, countless regiments had been raised, and multiple space marine chapters had been deployed to deal with the chaos brewing in the segmentum Obscurus, but Rangok knew they would win, they always did
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Ok So basically the guys I have created are a cult of nurgle followers, that are all a part of a chaotic army. They are a cityfight and seige based army, who have held out for 100 years so far.


The LIST
Primaris Psyker
Company command w/ Straken

Mortar squad

Sentinel squad

2+ Infantry squads

Penal Legion

Storm troopers

Valkyrie

and much much more....

Ehr... umm Well Its a long story. Basically, yeah its on backward but I decided that It could fluff-wise be a small variant of a stalk tank, and also a creation nurgle made so that the tank was more humanistic... I don't know if i Like it, but it sure is different

so...here is me... looking puzzled as gak...why did it took you so long to actually start a quality thread on your own??? seems you are more´n capable of that! more of that! the painting looks sweet! the writing lets us ask for more...

the only think that made me even more puzzled was the backwards looking sentinel too...but since you explained that i will gladly follow if you promise to pour out more of that nice stuff... by the way... i don´t happen to follow that many choasy stuff around here...so feel privilieged about it

cheers, vik

Also @ Norn King: Age doesn't make anything better or worse, just practice

Thanks Vik. I guess I diddn't start because until this April I had literally nothing cool to show that I actually wanted to show. I feel Very privileged that anyone is following me
Finally, the writing will come, I just need some time to do it

@Jake and everyone: Would you like a tute on the painting? because I could do one, but when I do, you will think 100% less of the paintjob because of its simplicity.


Custom stuff? I would love to, but Ideas are hard to come by, especially when I don't feel adept at working with plasticard



Finally, to wrap up my update of the day, I have started gluing the enforcer(Stormtrooper) squad, and will have pics soon

Great start! Good to see you start a blog.

Did you make the heads or are they from somewhere else?

In response to your response to Viktor. At fourteen you haven't had much time for practice

Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks! The heads are from FW http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/Warhammer-40000/RENEGADE-MILITIA-CONVERSION-SET.html
but some of them are kitbashed with the valkyrie and sentinel bits

But hey, custom stuff doesn't mean it has to be a super-detailed plasticard scratch-build with working electronics (although that's always a bonus ), rotating and lifting the body is customising, as is head and weapon swapping

Just keep building your guys and playing with bits, thinking of any fluff, ideas will present themselves.

Here's the valk that I have defiled with spray paint and sand to make it look nurglesque. The pics are bad, but hopefully you can see the rough surface of the valk, and the customized and converted demonic possession in the cockpit

I advise you don't use a hot glue gun... as the name suggest the glue is heat reactive... and if its a hot day, they will fall off... trust me... I learnt that the hard way when I was in uni.


but if you want the undecayed look I suggest weathering paints, for that sexual rust look

Oh don't worry about the rust I've got that all figured out(I think) Also when I mean using the hot glue gun, I mean just using the hot part to make circular depressions in the plastic, and using a hot pair of tweezers to push and pull to make boils

Hey Captainsolstice!

Finally got over here to check out your work. Really like the figures and builds you've got. I'm not very familiar with guard... are these figures "stock" or have you modified them?

I love the way the masks match the overall look of the figures. The way you paint them is well chosen and it all works quite well together. I have a couple of suggestions that I think will improve the impact without changing the look if you're interested. They look good as is... but working on three small things would not only improve your personal painting skills but really step up the impact of the figures.

Nice mix of parts, you've got some very characterful minis. Your painting is very good considering you haven't been 'at it' that long. Hell of a lot better than I was at your age. Try experimenting with some washes and dry brushing, adds a lot of depth to the finished look and get a pin vice for drilling out the barrels on bolt pistols etc. Looking forward to seeing more

Learn this simple system for making your lenses: Blackstone Gem painting: A very basic tutorial by vent

Work on your skin tones with this: Painting faces by the Nerdmeister himself (Nerdfest)

Red on dark green/grey messes with the eyes as the contrast is minimal (even though the colors are different). Consider some very subtle highlighting of the red or shading of the green (just outside the red) in order to get some definition between the color of the armor and the red streaks on it.

Now go, young padawan... become a great painter!

hmmm...that bit could be a means for watching? like a cam-gizmo?

also you could do some ugly looking stuff by PVA? just do what otherwise everyone would avoid...let the pva gather in noses...(dunno if that methaphor is used in englsih that way...) streaks of PVA that forms into goey lil bumps... and you could also while the PVA is cruring create somescratched surfaces with it...

OR...even better...the hot slat technique... originally ment to be used for bending pieces...if the bit rests too long in the hot slat...then you create a wonderful blistered texture...

I would also reccomend putting in actions, such as:

++ Trying to re establish connection... ++
++ sys.3rror 563.hu_)d detected, purging files... ++
++ Files purged. System terminating...++

Also, here is a great tool for making an accurite date in 40k lingo. They don't use "Year of our most Glorious Emporer".

Take a look at this perhaps for the setting of our story. Old Battlerep I did. The planet is the perfect place for renegades to be gathering, especially those who like Nurgle. The Imperium could be launching a crusade to retake the system etc.. I can write something up if you like it.

Heres what I have so far:
Spoiler:
DANZIEN-VI PLANETARY SURVEY
SEGMENTUM: ULTIMA
SECTOR: REDUCTUS
SUB-SECTOR: GAMMA-32-B
SYSTEM: VANDAL BINARY
3 INHABITED PLANETS: VANDALUS-II, DANZIEN-VI, DALAHDAKA
SURVEY RECORDS: NONE
INNER PLANETSANZIEN-VI, NO RECORD OF CLIMATE, INVESTIGATION PENDING
OUTER PLANETS: VANALUS-II: TEMPERATE, THIN ATMOSPHERE, MAY LEAD TO MUTATIONS
DALAHDAKA: ROCK WORLD, IRRADIATED, AND HIGHLY VOLCANIC
UN-MENTIONABLES: VANDALUS HAS MULTIPLE GAS GIANTS, AND ICEBALLS IN ORBIT IN THE OUTER RINGS OF ITS SYSTEM
ASTEROID FIELDS: UN-CHARTED
DANZIEN-VI
SUMMARY: A SOMEWHAT SMALL OUTPOST ON THE EDGES OF IMPERIAL SPACE, DANZIEN-VI AND ALL OTHER IMPERIAL PLANETS IN THE GAMMA-32-B SUBSECTOR ARE MUNITIONS TESTING FACUILITIES, AND HOME TO MANY BANNED ADEPTUS MECHANICUS PLANET DESTROYER WEAPONS.
SIZE: 7,000 NAUTICAL MILES
POPULATION: 5.3 BILLION
SURFACE TEMPERATURE: 13.50 CELSIUS
PHENOMENA: DANZIEN-VI’S CLIMATE IS ALWAYS SHIFTING, DUE TO AN UNSTABLE PLANETARY CORE AND GRAVITATIONAL PULL OF MULTIPLE SUNS. THIS CAUSES IMMENSE DUST AND ELECTRICAL STORMS, AS WELL AS TECTONIC ACTIVITY, WHICH MAKES IT A PRIME CANDIDATE FOR MECHANICUS EXPERIMENTATION
ECONOMY: NONE, AS A TESTING FACILITY ALL SUPPLIES ARE BROUGHT BY MECHANICUS OFFICIALS
SOCIETY: TERRAN BUREAUCRACY, WITH MILLIONS OF INDENTURED LABOR WORKERS, HUNDREDS OF OGRYNS, AND A PDF ORGANIZED THROUGH THE WORK CORPS
URBANISATION:

I love these minis, but I think that a vet squad or two would help balance out the army. Having played my own proxy guard before, I know that penal legion aren't exactly very reliable and that maybe some vets would be more effective, although maybe not fluffy. These paint jobs are very neat, but I would like to see those lenses shinier. Look up some glass highlighting techniques, and you'll go far!

Thanks much Killy This army is very fluffy and a few squads of vets will definately make their presence known, just not right now.
IDZ, can you finish this fluff so we can both have written some of the stuff
Spoiler:
Danzien-vi planetary survey
Segmentum: Ultima
Sector: Reductus
Sub-Sector: Gamma-32-B
System: Vandal Binary
3 Inhabited Planets: Vandalus-II, Danzien-VI, DalAhdaka
Survey Records: None
Inner planetsanzien-VI, No record of climate, Investigation Pending
Outer Planets: Vanalus-II: Temperate, Thin atmosphere, may lead to mutations
DalAhdaka: Rock world, Irradiated, and highly volcanic
Un-Mentionables: Vandalus has Multiple gas Giants, and iceballs in orbit in the outer rings of its system
Asteroid Fields: Un-charted
Danzien-vi
Summary: A somewhat small outpost on the edges of imperial space, Danzien-vi and all other imperial planets in the Gamma-32-b subsector are munitions testing facuilities, and home to many banned Adeptus Mechanicus Planet destroyer weapons.
Size: 7,000 Nautical Miles
Population: 5.3 Billion
Surface Temperature: 13.50 Celsius
Phenomena: Danzien-vi’s climate is always shifting, due to an unstable planetary core and gravitational pull of multiple suns. this causes immense dust and electrical storms, as well as tectonic activity, which makes it a prime candidate for mechanicus experimentation
Economy: None, as a testing facility all supplies are brought by Mechanicus officials
Society: Terran Bureaucracy, with millions of indentured labor workers, hundreds of ogryns, and a PDF organized through the work corps
Urbanisation: small hives dot Danzien-vi, but a main concentration of habs, storage, and administration buildings can be found at a star port located on a central landmass


The fortress Of Danzien-VI
The main citadel for Mechanicus operations is situated in the heart of the “No-go zone” a part of Danzien-vi that is almost uninhabitable. It contains the Cardinal’s palace, all ruling officers quarters, the planet killer test sites, the PDF head quarters, the archives, and an armory.

Alright here we go... I have a Lightbulb from a car headlight, which would be cut up so that the socket is like an intake/chemical belcher(see above post) and I would trash the Hellhound turret, and cover up the space where it normally went with a piece of something(You wouldnt really see that though, as there will be struts etc on top of it.)

The walker is actually supposed to be facing that way, no wild turns from behind, its legs are just more human...

Sorry about the lack of a big weekend update guys I've had an eventful weekend. I put over 500 rounds through my brand new shotgun, and installed a sling, which broke the stock, so... yeah...
sorry

Actually, the 20ga. doesn't have much kick, and the 500 round is an "initiation" as my dad puts it. I do have a small bruise, and I think the stock got fraged up because of the sling we put in

I got goodies!!! I've just received my long awaited non- heretical diversion... a FW chaplain dreadnought. I really needed to get back in the saddle but I think im a bit dead on the chaos front, so im going to be making this chappy super cool, converted and dynamic. My goal with him is to wet blend, use NMM and OSL techniques to be able to win ( hopefully) A store painting competion
Currently the gallery is mad and its not letting me link... but if you are feeling nice... you can see the dread in my gallery

as i only ever worked with already built dreads i cant really say how one should pose them when building to get the maximum of dynamic looking ...look^^

probably depends on the kind of base you want to use...

something dramatic though

well yes... drama should be the right decision for this one...

half a rhino wrecked so that the dread can walk over it to avenge the crew of the rhino?

Post by: AnUnearthlyChilde


Personally, I don't think FW models need anything dramatic, because afterall they are usually one offs. and being such stand out on their own accord. the normal GW stuff is what I would usually suggest for dramatic bases and such. hence why my nids are heavily converted and based.

hmmm... you have a point there childe...

and a wrecked rhino would be easy made by either getting somebitz from a bitz side or by scratchbuilding...tho that would take up quite some valuable time... maybe a bit too much for just a base decoration...

this might sound bad of me, but its because I've had years of experience in this hobby. but, when it comes to basing FW stuff I do generally keep it simple, as the model can speak for itself.

The best advice I was given when starting out on converting and such was to never push yourself until you were out of your comfort zone. push yourself enough to improve, but never push yourself to the point of being uncomfortable. Hope that advice is useful to you.

Looks great! I was heeded your comment and am subscribing to your blog here. I love the zombie idea. I made a few zombie guardsmen a while back to use with Typhus in an apoc game (remember when people used to play apocolypse??!)
Do you find the forgeworld stuff to be worth it?
Anyways, I will stay tuned!
Also, some of your original posts with pictures don't show up. This might have been addressed in the other 900203 posts on this blog but I haven't had a chance to read everything. Keep it up!
