Hi, I haven't posted in a bit, but now that summer is in full swing I have more time for painting and assembling models. I've made this page to record my work on my personal chaos warband the Bone Fiends. Today I made a lot of progress on one of my basic squad members, and i still need to take pics of my Daemon Prince, but he'll be up soon enough but here's todays progress for everyone to enjoy! ...or not enjoy, I'm a novice and I've never painted or assembled wargaming models so please no deconstructive comments.

Really awesome stuff, especially for your first. I love the colors too. They do look a lot like old bones.

Yeah its marked up with pitiful attempts at battle damage, but otherwise i think he turned out well.

Meh. Looks good.

Alrighty Here is my painted up Daemon Prince, he isn't entirely finished yet because I have yet to do a lot of runes and accents in blue but until I get the paints I need here he is:



It's in a spoiler so computer don't have to pull up these huge pictures when opening the page.

It is a nice colour scheme.

Effective and quite well done.
Practice will make it better, as you will get used to the way the paints work when applying them.

But a very good start.

Makes me wanna do my Daemon Prince. Very much interested to see him complete. You do very nice work for a new hobbiest. I see great things in your future.

Ya really good for a new painter.

Awesome paint choice, makes it really stand out.

Thanks everyone I'm currently painting the next marine in my squad and he should be done sometime by tonight or tomorrow.

Because I can't help myself, and it is in no way directed at anyone in particular:

Yo mama's a bone fiend!

Now that this is out of the way, I'd like to say that that is an outstanding paint scheme. If I'm being honest, that may be the most intimidating modeling/painting job on a Daemon Prince that I've ever seen. Well done.

lol nice one, and thanks

These are good!

I like your work. Especially impressed that these are your frist models. Looking forward to seeing more of your work over time. Subscribed, I'll be back.

Sry bout the delay for anyone who is following this page, some stuff came up yesterday and I was busy all today, I'm hoping I can wrap up my next marine tomorrow or Tuesday.

I'm so sorry for the huge wait here, I've been super busy as of late, but I promise to get up new stuff soon. I also finally got all those paints I needed

its fine, dude; for a beginner you're off to an excellent start! I see that you used white primer so that's good; I'd water down the paints a tad more so they go down a lottle more smoothly. a hundred thin layers is better than one or two thick ones that come out clumpy and obscure details!

For the bone, I'd reccommend some Devlan Mud wash, and some asuremen blue wash for the blue areas, but Badab Black may work as well. Badab Black on all the metallics and in the deepest recesses and some eyes and he'll be ready for war!

After washing, I'd recommend a light drybrushing or highlight of the base color to really make it pop; for battle damage, take a dark color (not black) like Charadon Granite and make a few marks here and there, paint some metal in the middle of the biggest ones, and highlight the BOTTOM of these chips and viola! battle damage!

i normally comment on chaos paint jobs by saying how they would affect the moral of my IG

after seeing your Daemon prince my commissar shot himself for cowardice

Thanks for the tips Kepora
And haha I'm starting to wonder if he'll even fight or just terrify enemies to suicide
And I'll be putting up pictures of all my completed modeling work and the entirely finished paintjobs of a few. They'll hopefully be up by tomorrow as long as nothing gets in my way

Well It's finally here pictures for all my currently presentable work! Sorry for the huge wait everyone, and it's up to you weather it was worth it but here we go:

2nd CSM:


Oh and while we're focused on my normal squad I'm sorry for not having a pic of my first CSM all finished with runes and such slipped my mind at the time

My 1st CSM Squad:


Not all are painted but my conversions and modeling for them is entirely finished

Daemon Prince:


And finally the modeling so far on my Chaos Lord (he still needs his gun):


And that's all, post comments and tips, and I thank everyone for all the support

I love how this is coming along. The conversions are great and the color scheme is awesome. The runes are a nice touch as well.

Yeah the runes added the nice touch that felt missing on the basic paintjob.
