Chaos Space Marine Chosen unit up for votes:

here is the pic that i used for my Golden Bolter painting contest entry back in February...



we had to submit a pic no more than 800 pixels wide...
i have no idea how i won Silver with this rubbish photo, but i'm stoked anyway...

the plan is to add some more details, and get some good pics, before i put 'em up on ebay next month...
they just don't seem finished to me yet...

i know i should have added some Chaos Marine parts, but all my stuff is in storage up in Alaska...
i have so many boxes of CM, there is no way i was gonna buy more...
the Space Wolves sprue has some awesome bits anyway, so that's what i used...

to be honest, this was just a chance to paint the two coolest heads off of the new sprue, with some cool facial tattoos, or warpaint, and some funky hair color...

i'm a big fan on the fluff in the CM codex, about the Wolves that went over to Huron's side when their ship was captured...
this a game legal squad of Chaos Chosen, the elite...
a good chance to use some of the coolest bits on the new sprue...

i call 'em Huron's Wolves...
hope you like 'em...

thanks for lookin'...

cheers

Well to be honest I really like those models well painted and nice color scheme chosen. You could put something on the bases but that doesn't matter that much. I think you should won the gold one because those marines are just amazing. Keep up the good work.

they're good, but they could be better, mate...
mostly due to the format, which led to a poor display of all the squads...
i will be much happier with individual close-ups, and some different angles...

the bases are really cool resin shipdeck bases, but i need to take shots from a higher angle to show off the metal work...

i think i was lucky to get Silver, but at the same time i feel i deserved it...
no way i deserved Gold, as the squad that beat me is incredible...
i'd like to drop about 50 F-Bombs right now, that squad is so good...
take a look:
