Usually I do with gryphonne sepia or devlan mud, but not on these models yet. I applied a single layer of 'glorious gold' from Game Color.

i like it , very nicely done... gives me new ideas

These are truly beautiful. The colours give a very regal and austere feel to the squads.

Wow, these look fantastic. Excellent conversions and paintwork.

Thank you guys!

As requested, here are some close-ups of some of the most representative models of the Lost Knights squad:

I like the royal effect you achieved. It's nice to see chaos warriors that aren't all about "OMG spikes, rings, skulls arrgh!"

Thank you Munch Munch! but I disagree on one point: skulls are a normal feature of the space marines, so I guess it's normal for them to keep the habit to stick skulls wherever they can

In fact I have a problem with the regular CSMs head (not the cult marines ones, just vanilla CSMs heads) which are screaming "Mouahahaha, look at us, we're evil, we have horns and skull faced helmets, Mouahahahah!!!"

However, I've used horned heads for some of my models. I did it for the chosen ones because I whished to give them a barbarian look (as if they were originally from a feral world) and I did it again for the possessed ones (which are supposed to be chosen ones who turned bad...or bader )

Here's a pic of a chosen one (I've made 15 of these, and I'm going to make 5 more).
It's still a WIP (even after one year!), the cloak and the base are not painted yet.


I'll try to take some WIP pictures of the next chosen ones, in order to make a tuto for CSMs with cloaks. What do you think?

I like that you used alot of horns spikes on a few models, instead of alot of spikes and horns on every model.

I think the paint scheme is very reminiscent of the soul drinkers.

Really coming on nice, I like the models, hate the name!! Lost Prophets? bad!

TR

Ditto, Lost Prophets are a band here in the UK, so the name plus the horns just makes me think of brutal legend, the game. What happened to the 'Lost Knights'?

Guys, I didn't know anything about this band... so, reading your posts, I went on Youtube to see what kind of band it was... This name has lost almost all its appeal...

I will keep the 'lost' but they won't be prophets anymore...

@Lennysmash:The lost knights are just a single squad of my army whith special features to count as a mark of Tzeentch, like the lost angels are my count as raptors, and the lost hunters are my bikers squadron.

So my legion will now be the "lost .............", any idea what the "..............." should be?

Here are some other pictures of this army.
These are not recent ones, but I haven't made any new pics of these yet.

very very nice stuff
the colour scheme looks like the pre- heresy emporers children
and also nice use of the shields

oh and you could call it the: the lost knights

Or, you could just call 'em the Lost.

Simples

Loving the army by the by, demon prince is ace.

I agree with ghosty, just go with "the Lost" and keep the unit specific description"angels" etc..

BTW your raptors rock!
I have toyed the idea of CSM and I would definitely have to steal your idea!

Your army looks great
I love the raptors and the idear with the shields. When i get hold on enough wings i might make a raptor squad like that as well.

Cheers

Yeah 'The Lost' seems like a pretty sick name, seems very to the point, no messing about.

That's one layer of Game Color gold? Jeez, I gotta get me some of that...

Loving it, but aren't you gonna freehand a chaos star on the banner??

"The Lost"


Thats a big imrpovement.

lost warriors
lost pioneers
lost martyrs
lost lament
lost brethren

.... errrrrr keep going or stop??

TR

That's fine, it sounds good to me, they will now be known as: The Lost, thank you guys!

@Blackhand: I really like your stuff so stealing my idea would be the best compliment you could make! Thanks!

You just have to add a drop of water, but yes it's mostly been painted with a single layer. However you might need a second layer on the shoulderpads "sharp" edges.

I'm planing to go on with a blindfolded skull, but a chaos star is my 'plan B' if I screw the skull

the lost 'keys to your house'?

Finch Claw wrote:the lost 'keys to your house'?

How about the lost "dog. 100 dollar reward."

Perhaps I will turn it to "The Lost Lostses"

Here's a rhino I made last year. There are two of these done and one more in progress.



Having finished the Lost Knights and most of the Lost Angels, I'm now turning my attention to the Lost Souls (possessed CSMs) and the Lost Hunters (Bikers squadron). All the converting job is already done, but I really need to put some more paint on these guys who have just reveived basic purple.

Here are some pics (WARNING! dark models in a lightened white environment are darker than reality ) I just hope you'll be able to see something.
Lost souls


Lost hunters
(the idea of adding shields was stolen from FU 2000 and his amazing Chaos sorcerer/lord on bike, you can see it here:
http://www.dakkadakka.com/gallery/18398-Bike%2C%20Chaos%2C%20Chaos%20Space%20Marines.html )

The Hunter (champion) - sorry for the blurry pic -



What do you think?

Ok, time for a little update!

I gave my paints some holidays , but my modelling tools have been on duty.

I've posted a tutorial about the method I've used to make my chosen ones, and I've exhumed my old silver tower project.

I've also took a lot of pictures of various models (WIP or finished).

First, here are the two Chaos lords I've made for The Lost... The first one is the former Chaos Lord model converted with a plasma pistol and a sword from the 90's CSM assault weapon plastic sprue. The head is from the old raptor champion.


The second one is the usual chaos lord model with just a converted WoC head. He fits more the legion feature than the other one, but I confess I prefer the first one.


It's been nearly a year since I've last worked on my silver tower (lack of inspiration ) but recently I've decided to finish it before christmas, using a chocolate box, (the pyramid/prism shaped thing) and various elements from my bitzbox (and my toolbox), here's what it looks like so far:




It's far from being finished, I will add some drop pod fins and more architectural elements.

That's all for today, but I'll soon post more news.

Looking good so far man! I have a hard time getting excited about 40k chaos, but I like the scheme you are going for here, and that Silver Tower looks pretty impressive! Are you going to keep the clear cone bit transparent? Or maybe paint some scenes on it with transluscent paint and light it from within with LEDs? That would rock.

Well i like purple so they are automatically +1 for me i also like your epic painting so another +1 but am disappointed you didn't paint a map on the banner so -1... ahh hell +1 for being awesome as well
