The models and the paint scheme look great really love the concepts you've used inside the army and like a previous poster mentioned it's refreshing to see a CSM army that isn't all about the spikes and skulls (Although I do love me some spikes and skulls!)

Thank you guys!

@Wehrkind: I've thought of lighting the cone, but it's far from my actual skills (you might as well give the led to a chimp, he'll probably do a better job than me ). In fact I was thinking of adding at least one balcony and perhaps some other elements (my wife suggested me to add a stair) and to do some aibrushing job on the main parts of the cone (flames or tortured souls, but with such bright colours even a daltonian could see them! )

I have nearly finished the 20 lesser daemons (the lost shadows) and will try to post pics of them this week-end. These are basically plastic Bloodletters with converted head (oh, and by the way, they are purple too )

I've converted the heads the same way Mosg did in his Cyber Daemons PM blog (check it there: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/260445.page)

A la prochaine!

Hi guys!

Yesterday I've finally managed to get enough time to make and upload new pics of my army.

So today I'll show you my lesser daemons, terminators and chosen ones. All of them are still WIP (as soon as I'll get some holidays I'll try to finish them instead of starting something new...I promise I'll try... )

So here are the Lost Champions (termies)







The Lost Warriors (Chosen ones)
1st squad (ten men,no special weapons, heads from the WFB chosen ones)


2nd squad (five men, 4 plasma pistols and a plasma gun -did I ever mention I love plasma?- plastic heads from the WoC sprue)


And the Lost Shadows (20 lesser daemons)



Concerning the name of my army, I finally think that I will change it one more time, but I hope this time it will be definitely. What do you think of "the Lost Legion"?

Love the daemons, great choice for the head swap

I am liking the colour scheme more and more just the right balance between purple and blue (unless thats the pics?)

And as for the name,in my opinion its the hardest thing to choose with a homebrew chapter and changing it a hundred times till you find the right one is perfectly acceptable.

Having said that the "Lost Legion" is very cool

Thank you man! It's quite easy to get this colour effect even with my poor painting skills (no it's not the pic ).
here's how I make it:
1) a Liche Purple wash over black undercoat
2)Drybrushing with Necron Abyss
3) a Liche purple/warlock purple wash (lighter than the first one)
4) A little warlock purple to highlight

Thanks again! Since I've seen the video of the Lost Prophets band, I was completely despaired .

You and your name changes Hyena Though Lost Legion does sound cool. You could write in some fluff tying them with one of the 2 legions that had their records expunged before the HH. Could lead to some cool conversions too...

I just hope there's no other stupid band to ruin this one

Sounds like a good idea, but where could I find informations about these legions, lexicanicum? If you've got something about them, I'd be interested!

That's the point there is nothing written about them. Some of the fluff guru's maybe able to point to a few hints but almost nothing is known of them. It really does give you carte blanche when creating your legion's identity.

If your skills are up to it, how about making crazy stairs in it? Now, if you don't trust you skills, you can use lego like this guy did.

The 'Crazy Lego Stairs' are mindblowing.

As for the name, stay with The Lost. It's simple, but effective. Don't throw something else into the name for the sake of making it longer. If you want to stay with the Lost Prophets, do so, because I didn't know they were a band either, and the name sounds great to me.

You don't know the Lost Prophets, I was going to say and you call yourself British.... then I saw the location. Lol.

I think that just "The Lost" is perfect. It's like they've been wandering for so long that they can't remember their original name.

@ Lennysmash: I already have many fluff elements about my legion but they lack of a common basis, I'll re-think it through the concept of the lost legions, thank you!

@ Munch Munch: Well I think I can do th...can do th...c-can d-d-do...c-c-can... -----brain explosion----

@ Popsicle: can't forget what I've seen, the Lost Prophets name have been ruined for ever to me

Actually I hadn't thought of that, but it's a great point, moreover, it's very close to the fluff I have in mind for them, thanks Jackanory!

Ok guys, you've convinced me, I'll stick to "The Lost"!

Hi everyone!

Yesterday I've been spending most of my time modelling (I was too lazy to paint or to write so...)

I've been working on the "entry" of my silver tower.


The gates are the same size as those from the sanctum administratrum.

I've also worked on a side project, a defiler for my World Eaters warband. His little name will be Wolf (actually I've promised to the user named Wolf to give his name to the next warmachine I would make after my brass scorpion. I hope He'll like it! )



What do you think?

Those "raptors" are great, and love yours colorsceme also

Hur Hur Hur ! I'm loving me... haha These are looking great mate I want to see more.

Awesome portal! Care to name something after me?

Nice Portal entrance! I really like the purple and gold scheme, reminds me of the soul drinkers. Keep up the good work!

Thank you guys!

Well I'm really glad to see that people like the colour scheme! It's not hard to make, but it was quite hard to find and I must thank a red shirt from Paris who helped me a lot on that point!

@Wolf: The main problem I had with "you" was when I was looking for the right place to put the cannon...that's why I've added a loincloth...the power of suggestion is far more frightening!

@Munch Munch: Well, why not, if you make the same

By the way, I've uploaded some pics of my dread:


It's a model I've bought on ebay, and the head was missing, so I made antother one with GS. I've tried something else for the purple on this model, but I'll stick to my usual technique for the next models.

What do you think?

This is looking good.

Love the Scheme too.

You should give one of the Lords a Compass though.

And the Defiler is Frickin Awesome!

A bit dark, but a wip I guess so it will prob look great finished! But what I can say at this stage is that your colour scheme work very well on the dread.

@CrazyMez: I like the idea of the compass, but I'm affraid it's too late to give it to a lord. In the same theme I am preparing a chaos pendulum.

Here are some more pics of the silver tower, now with extra drop pod fins:



What do you think guys?

Are you going to use this in games? You could easily swipe the rules for the necon monolith for use in Apoc games.

Great work on those marines! Really excellent. I am going to use shields on my upcoming CSM army and your execution has really given me inspiration.

Keep it up!

I like your silver tower. best that i have yet seen. You defiler conversion is pretty neat too.

The tower is nuts, very cool!

@Lennysmash: Yes I plan to use it in Apoc games but I will stick to the silver tower of tzeentch rules which make it a great support for a CSM army (firepower+invul save for your troops...what else?..)

@Reecius: thanks! I'd really like to see pics of your own shielded marines when you'll make them!

@sennacherib & Blackhand: thank you for your comments! It really helps me to stay motivated on this project! .

By the way, Blackhand, I've just received a soulgrinder hull and 3 pairs of daemonic legs + a skaven plague furnace to build my pendulum of Chaos... Between your work and the readers' suggestions, your 40k skavens blog really has a terrifying influence on me!!!

Damn! I can't wai to see the pendulum, you sure have a thing for giant centrepieces

holy crap awesome silver tower! seriously amazing work

That tower is simply brilliant. We'll be holding you to that "by Christmas" promise you made earlier
