OK well I started this army about 2-3 months ago with the existing CSM I already had.

Fortunately I was lucky to find my camera with the old pictures and I also took a new couple (this time with macro )

Well anyway it's time to retrace my steps and start this P&M!



This is my custom converted Abaddon. The conversion was basically a head swap a Pepsi bottle cap and alot of skulls/heads.
The thing is at the time I took these pics I didn't use macro which is why the pictures aren't the best.
The painting here isn't as good as my most recent which I will show later on.






These are just a bunch of normal troops. I never really liked painting standard troop choices as there is too much repitition.



These are the bikers. At the moment I only have two as I haven't really needed to buy a third as I don't get alot of time to play the game because I live over an hour away from any gw retailers I thought they were fun to build and paint and I can't wait to get the third.



Ahh Huron blackheart, what a fun model to paint I based the way his face was painted from Star Wars KOTOR II after Darth Sion if any of you guys/girls have played it.
I still haven't got around to painting his fimiliar yet



These are my squad of Chosen. When I made my first 2 batches of CSM Standard troops I never used any of the two handed weapons so I thought I'd use them on my chosen.




Possessed Marines I hated building and painting these guys with a passion, more than I hate Pineapple Pizza ( and thats alot!) Every part of these guys were a nightmare. I probably won't get any more, but.. who knows?




These guys were horrible when I was assembling them. Painting them wasn't as bad but I didn't spend that long on them if I can recall. The Khorne lord was very fun to paint and I think he is a great model.





The terminators That terminator Lord was my best painted and first ever model (that I ever bought) and still is one of the best painted that I have. The terminator were fun to build but again because I hate painting the same model twice I didn't spend long painting them.






These guys were also the first models I bought with the terminator Lord. I spent about a month painting all of these and loved every bit of it!



Unfortunately this is the only pic of my defiler he was pretty fun to make but was boring to paint.




Yay this won first prize at my local gaming store if you don't mind local being an hour away I won a pack of Space marines which I converted and painted:




Again as usual I only spent a short amount of time painting these guys because of.... you guessed it repitition!

This brings us up to 2 months ago when I stopped playing Warhammer or painting altogether! What sad tradgic times those were...
But Now......

I present to you my pride and joy, my love and heart, my killer and most awesome model to date!
Khorne Lord Zhufor!!!!!!!








This was the opposite in every way. I spent 3 days painting a day assembling and a couple of hours admiring. I didn't like the assembly because I had no super glue which meant I had to use green stuff which was a pain in the a.... nose! But once I started painting I fell in love! Every thing about the painting process went pleasent except for my original head inncident But I'm going to buy another Elday guardian set to get that head with the long hair. Aside from that the experience of that model was amazing and I would highly recommend to any CM that you buy him.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Well I want to say thank you for reading this post it means alot, I also want to say that aside from the annoying repitition of the army it was a fun experience with minimal injuries. This is the only army I currently have but I might start another in the near future.

I also noticed that alot of the photos had only half the models in them which I am sorry for

C&C is kindly accepted.

These look good as nice bright Chaos Marines however they'd look exceptional weathered........

Very nice. An interesting colour scheme, although as Llamahead mentions, they could do with a little weathering.

Otherwise great stuff

That for the comment also to weather it's just using washes right?

I honestly like the way they look bright 'n clean

If you like them clean, keep them that way

And I was meaning add a little weathering to the vehicles - to me they look a little bit to factory fresh

How about some new pics of the first model. The base looks sweet, but the pic needs to a tad brighter.

The red on the last model looks good. How did you get that look?

They look pretty good. I like the red. My one suggestion would be to drill out the barrels on all of your guns. It will make them look much more realistic.

They look cool. One thing - it's 'shepherds' not 'shepards'.

And if you've got Blood Shepherds, then you really need to convert up some Blood Sheep.

Killer Chaos Sheep FTW!!!!!ONE!!!

They've got mean streaks a mile wide...! :O

Thanks for all the tips, oh and sorry for not updating since forever! My exams have started, but in summer there will be more updates

Ok well after a shakey start, a bad name which was spelt incorrectly and terrible fluff it was time for a redo! So here's what i've been up to:


I've finally decided on a name for him, it's going to be Allsiter Khaine cookie for whoever can get the name! Since the original I re-painted his sword, completely swapped and greenstuffed a new head (still keeping the helmet of course) and blended everything together, unfotunately my camera blacked out before I could get any more pics which was a bummer


Next is just your average Joe space marines although they have been completely re-done, highlighted, blended, shaded, etc. I actually had alot more fun painting them up this time since I last did as it was just a complete and utter nightmare! I guess it was easier as most of the work had already been done so all I had to do was clean em up and go from there.


This is just showing of my new (still unfinshed, I have to wash and varnish when I get 'em) style of painting power weapons.


Yay I finished my rhino and it was extremely fun even though so many people hate painting tanks. It was a pity however that i couldnt get into the interior and paint that aswell but it doesnt matter.


This is just a side view of the tank showing off the dirt on the side of the tank.

-Updates will be really slow as I dont tend to paint much but next up will more than likely be the bikes-

C&C will go a long way
