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
