With the pictures that are there I find it hard to make out the models but the terrain looks good.

sounds like a cool scheme to me!

Thanks mate
I plan on fixing that sometime haha, just dunno when.

@Viktor - Thanks! Now I just need a name...hahaha

since you will be building from my old models... what about hivefleet basilisk? that was my name i came up with... a basilisk is a monster that can turn someone into stone...

Yeah, that could be cool

Though, that kinda works against my color scheme hahaha

Okay, I want to put up all the projects I can think of that I need to finish:

#1: Finish the Chaos I have. Which is alottttt. And write out all the Fluff
#2: Flesh out my Space Marines, and write up their fluff.
#3: Start work on my Nids with paint, fluff and modelling.
#4: Make and paint terrain/ finish table.
#5: Finish my Dwarf Army.

The biggest thing is my Chaos. I've gotta paint up 10-15 termies, 2 possessed squads, 5 bikers, Defiler, paint bloodletters(WHFB Gors), paint Blue Horrors(Goblins), build some more Tanks (to a proper scale), and probably more haha

My Marines shouldn't be too bad. I dont have too many at the moment, so it'll be a slow and steady project. Unless Christmas yealds lots of projects haha

Nids, should be simple enough. Its gonna take me awhile to get used to painting xenos haha

Terrain, easy to build but I'm probably too lazy to paint haha

Dwarves, eh. I've put this off for so long its no big deal. I dont even play fantasy hahaha. But oh well haha I've probably got somewhere between 2k and 4k. I have NO idea.

oh i do know about such schedules...

Schedule= first step to procrastination!

^that!^^

I am assuming your camera is digital. ( Mine is an older one as well). I found the best way to take the pics so they are'nt blurry is to set it down on a surface , looking at the model, instead of trying to maintain a steady hand, and have the model under a decent light source. Amatuer photography is NOt a hobby of mine, but it will help everyone get a better view of your stuff.
Hope that helps.
Your terrain/ bunker....What is that from?

hahahaha so trueeeeee! haha

@worldwarme - Thanks mate! All the terrain is made from the inserts in a Blu Ray box. I think its like recycled paper pulp or something. It looks really cool to me too hahaha

And the destroyed tank was from a site on ebay I found. Real good quality stuff.

Here is a rhino I did today.





I'll get new pictures up I PROMISE! i've taken them, its just my girlfriend left her cord at home, so I have no way to transfer them.

hmmm... the use of bitz is quite good... that cannon sure fits there very well...what i a, not sure apbout is the sponson with the flamer inside...too cubic for me... maybe if you redid that with some more folded paper? about five folds so to better get a round form? the tops then can get put on later...

Good idea, I might just do that haha

i think this would helpü you bring the model futher... have you thought about the treads yet? or have you enough bitz for these left?

if i had enough treads i would be flogging them tanks by the minute^^

Agreed, I'm going to paint it up and see if I like it like this or if I'm going to add the modular part.

And I don't have enough treads right now, so I'll probably just make them haha, or leave it. Its whatever haha

i made some by my own design... in my thread you can see quite a big discussion about that... lots of good ideas there but if you ask me where... i´d be damend^^ dunno where... 123 pages now^^ but in my gallery at least i showed the progress and conceptual phase of at least two sets...

Haha I'm sure I'll find it...eventually xD

Update:
I have a squad of "Possessed" that are built off of old metal Grey Knight models. They wear purity seals, and the traditional Grey Knight armor to mock the Imperium while their gnarled wings shoot out from their backs.
I only have one pair of wings from the possessed box, but I plan on building more for the others. Looks wicked

Also, I painted up the Rhino in Goblin Green and Catachan Green, then added Dark Angel Green Snakes to the hatches and on top of the treads. I painted some of the hatches in Boltgun Metal, and still need to detail it.

Thats it for now!

the possessed unit from GK´s sounds wicked...something that sure as hell could dampend the spirits of all that would face these fighters...cool idea...fluffwise i think that would have great potential...will you make the wings by gs? i would suggest instead go a different route... use staples and sculpt the shape of the bones... then aply PVA soaked tissue and wrap that over the bonesstructure... that would make some asewome looking wings... GS wings tend to get too thick...

I was my nids in griphan sepia..... not how its spelled

Imperial Renegade wrote:I was my nids in griphan sepia..... not how its spelled

I dont quite understand you, mate.

@Viktor - Thanks mate! Yeah I'm not gonna do GS as I dont have any! haha. But I'll probably build light frames and add to it like you said. I also considered using paper for the wing between the bones, and then burning the edges to make it look rough. I'll try both and see if I can get a good set of wings on them all.

i think he meant to write : he washed his nids in gryphon sepia...

the bruning sounds like a good methode to get the gnawed feel to the wings...

when working with the soaked tissue... be sure to work as careless as can be... thus you create wonderful random creases and folds...that will looks quite neat natural later on...and you get nice texture for later on drybrushing and washing...

Thank you Viktor, Yes that is what I ment. You were saying how you were deciding on a color sceme, so I was suggesting to wash them. Nice work!

Oh okay! hahaha Thanks mate!

And Thanks Vik! I'll see how it works out, I'll probably try both and have both! Gotta mix it up! haha

sounds like a plan to me^^

Here is one of the winged possessed, and some other stuff I've been working on, including a Greater Daemon for my Chaos God! and all the stuff Viktor sent me!

Viktors stuff first!








Now mine!






That should keep you guys coming! And go back and check my first page for some new pictures! Thanks everyone!

hey mate!!! where did you pull all that painted stuff all of a sudden??? the winged minis looks super cool... did you really do all those by yourself?
the wings are just awesome! same goes for the three headed snakebeast...where is that coming from?

also i have to confess...i loled a bit for the powerpacked catachans^^ ...tho nicely done...they are a nasty bunch^^

that one here is my favorite...:


and that one



by the way...nice pics you did... quite sharp and with a nice twist of an angle...gives an air of artful photography... very vibrat colors...

now to the package... oh yeah... qite battered it is looking... long distance took it´s toll...
did the carnifex really get broken? is he repairable? i hope so, i always was under the impression that this was one of the sturdier models...dang...
also the warriors are not mine...i only ever did a gaunt...so the matching minis... the small critters, the warriors and the matching gaunts i got from an ebay auction... so no telling how they were done...

hope you have fun with that new lot!!!

Haha I've had em for ages, just never had a camera to use! haha

The winged ones are from the Possessed CSM sprue, but I'm going to scratchbuild some to go with the GK one.

Hahaha thats cause the IG are awesome! xD

The Snake beast used to be an old toy haha, I found it, and just had to do it. I needed an awesome snake for my Chaos! And I plan to add a cool tail to it, possibly more.

And thanks for the compliments! And I will love them! haha

EDIT: About the Carnifex...I THINK I can fix it. Its mostly just in need of pinning, because those legs do NOT wanna stay on hahaha

well i hope you can fix that... the whole bunch was not that point heavy so the carnifex was really a much needed powerhouse for the lot...

i do own some pieces of the possessed stuff and i have to say for a loyal follower...that stuff is quite cool^^

yeah somehow using toys can give an army a cool edge! i definatly look out for any useful stuff on fleahmarkets whenever i can^^
