Here's some pictures from my current projects.

My Games-workshop is doing a Valkyrie painting competition, winner gets a skybase. So I decided that i'd make a Chaos Valkyrie and paint it up since I started putting together a CSM army recently. I am going with a Tzeentch look for the outside of the Valkyrie and maybe Nurgle on the inside (So far i've lined the inside with greenstuff and made the walkway look like a tongue.) When that back flap opens I really want it to look almost like a mouth or a stomach inside of the Valkyrie. On the wings i've started to do feathers, hoping to finish the wings tomorrow.



Here's a picture of the color scheme i'm going to go with for my Army. Now I just gotta give the legion a name. The color is Enchanted Blue mixed equal parts with Boltgun metal. Then tin bitz for the metal areas. As you can see I used the doghouse chaos warrior leg idea for my army. I love the look and the fact that they are a little taller, even if it might screw me with true line of sight later on.



And a picture from the Gamesday conversion I made. While everyone else was making crazy wacked out mutated things I decided to go for something I could use at the end of the day and ended up with this. I haven't cleaned it up or anything, but I did use two sets of legs to put in some spacers to make it close to the same size as the rest of my army will end up being. Still some work to go on this model.



Comments and critiques welcome as always.

Finally a chaos Valkyrie,I want to see it done before I make a judgement but for now it looks cool.

Update for the Valkyrie. With some great input i've decided to go all Tzeentch with it instead of try to do two or more Gods. The right wing is close to being completed, going to try to finish the left by tonight maybe tomorrow.

A Chaos bird of prey, I like it.

Wow, not the way I would do it. Looks great, can't wait to see how you complete this.

It looks great so far, but I think you should give the tongue more volume, so it looks fatter and more disgusting.

Those feathers are a nice bit of chaotic craziness I like. Much more intricate than the traditional just add spikes (not that theres anything wrongwith that of course)

Nice job on the feathers.

It's been a while since I updated this, but I've managed to get in some time to get my CSM army moving. Here's what I got. The Valkyrie has more work to be done, haven't had time to do the rest of it. Will try to get the next wing feathered up by next week. Here are some pictures of my army. None of the bolters are glued in yet so they look flimsy in the pics still.


Term Lord put on my own rocks, don't like the one from the kit. First one i've put together before so it was a little interesting, got others to make so im not worried about the fact that he's just okay looking.


WIP Aspiring Sorc Staff is from the Chaos Term Lord box, cut the shaft down to fit.


First group of 5 guys. As you can see Chaos Fantasy Warrior Legs + CSM Upper Bodies, occasional CFW Helm.


Second Group of 5 Guys.


With the Lord.


All 10 Guys together being led by a Champion.

All in all im happy with how the army is turning out.

Here's my Demon Prince. Converted him with a Scythe in replacement of his sword. I like the way it came out, got work to do about cleaning him up before I paint and obviously the base (Gonna do some skulls and sand for the base)

Wow, Awesome stuff.
The Chaos Valk is inspired!

May i suggest a couple of tweaks; The Scythe wielded by Be'la'kor - It looks too flimsy the way he currently holds it - Either bulk up the haft or better yet 'move' his hand up the haft closer to the blade, it lends itself to more of a 'weighty' feel.

Also, on the valk - since you are going Tzeentch are you going to remove the nurgle GS interior?
I would suggest that you add flames [flames+feathers+mutation = hallmarks of tzeentch] and paint them brightly - it will add contrast to the large amount of Metallic Blue plating.

Cheers
Sirath.

Yea after looking at it I'll probably change his hold on the Scythe, as for the Valk I'll be making it Straight Tzeentch so eya no Nurgle interior.

Awesome work bro! I love the feathers on the wing of the Valkryie.

I think the wings would look better if its morphed half way instead of the whole part having feathers. But i guess its WIP , cant wait to see how it ends!

Nice!
