no response ey?

question. Would it look cool If I give some CSM alpha legion shoulder pads?

woot, New demons are out! Would probably buy the codex and use them as allied daemons once.

Nice, like the helmet on him especially. It depends are your guys associated with the alpha legion? Because it could cause confusion.

no they are not. I just thought it would look cool.

update. Painted up Lucius the eternal. I also bought some noise marines, but they need to be assembled 1st.

Wow! I LOVE the job you've done on that model!

Not really a fan of the character though.. but oh well, it is a real challenge to paint IMO (not that I have tried ), so congratulations on a highly successful paint job!

Nice! If you don't mind me asking, what pink did you use mate?

thank you. I rather like the character.

First I mixed scab red and skull white. Then I highlighted that layer with tentacle pink.

update time. Some more reavers and some Emp children. I still have to assemble the noise champion and the ones with sonic weaponry. C&C welcome.

needs MOAR pink. And sonic weapons, cause sonic weapons iz winz.

I think there is enough pink. Like I said before, the noise weapon still need to be assembled.

Looking good.

yay 1 reply!

update: SPAWNS! ! !

Have to get me a spawn, looks like a blast to build! I agree with Darkvoid about the pink, your Empchildren are are pretty gray. Reavers look great!
Btw, is that supposed to be a pig snout on the first spawn? Can't tell that well from the angle.

Thank you. yes they are great to build! The reason why I made the emp child look grey is because that way they blend in with the rest of the army. (sort of)

It's not a pig snout, That hole is actually it's mouth.

Good stuff, old chap! Your Painting is visibly improving with every one you do, as you become more familiar and certain on the Scheme, the Techniques. Some of the Red looks like it could do with one last, thinned coat, as there is some black peeking through. However, that aside, they're great! What's next up?

thanks for the kind words! Next up will either be a rhino or an extra box of 10 CSM............. Or I'll save my money for Red Dead Redemption.........who knows......

Don't mention it.

I'd go for 10 CSM first. It's better to bulk up your Troop Core before you begin putting them in Transports. RDR I hear is good, but I wouldn't jump to buy it. That's equivalent in price to a FW Blight Drone!

meh, I just played RDR when I was with a friend......Now I am addicted. 10 CSM seems to be the best option. Oh yeah I forgot I still have to finish the Noise champion and the noise weapons carrying CSM.

anways update time. I assembled the last Noise Marines.

Awesome. Makes ye' want to play Chaos.

hehe. I could also buy another box of noise marines. that gives me 2 more noise weapons and some cool bits for a chaos lord (from the champion). and then I can paint the rest of the noise marines in Reaver colors.

Nice win ya got there.

Can't wait to see 'em painted!

I will probably do that today or tomorrow. So stay tuned.

Thanks for the pics, your models look great. Im looking to play CSM in 40K too. The pics were motivating. Great job!

hhaha. thanks. how are you going to paint them?

Great painting!
alot of stuff happened while i was on vacation!

aha! you are back! any chance you be going to GW Antwerp on Saturday?

You bet!

see ye' then!

My hope is to eventually convert my CSM army into a whole word bearer force. So im going to cover them in old purity seals, robs, and the like. and I want to paint the majority of their armor kinda drab/dull in color, and really brighten up the lil details on em. To try and emphasize their religious zealotry. Maybe even cover them in lil scribbles to show their devotion to the "word"
