I appreciate you taking the time to paint up a Chaos Lord, must be hard for a Grey Knight player to be helping the enemy

It's coming along really nicely!

Not where I should be

Well the Captain is a stunningly brilliant piece, and the attack bike is so cool (love the model, the bike by itself is gak, but as this platform I love it.) In your colours it looks just right, really good work.

Chaos dude hey! Well you have painted other things before, often thought that you had a RL battleships worth of grey paint and that's why the grey grey grey knights. But we know you can do colour too, so looking forward to it. Looking amazing so far, love the base colour for the cloak, and your attention to detail will really work well on the Chaos side.

@Gits - I know right, I need to add a bit of grey on him to have it all fit together

@WarbossDakka - Such is the nature of chaos eh? slow and insidious then the next thing you know your praising papa Nurgle

@Mad - Course, happy to help out a mate

@Cam - I have a train container which stores my grey paint, and I have shares in grey pigment with GW

Update: Got some of the blues applied to hopefully try some osl?

You make a good point Knightley, that Mortarion model is looking pretty sweet right now...

Well done on the progress too, I think blue as the spot colour on this guy works really well, I can't wait for him to be finished!

That cloak is amazing! I mean, the whole thing looks great so far, but that cloak is above and beyond cool! Was it hard to get it painted up like that?

Holy smokes, turns out you guys really like the cloak!

@Graven - Thanks mate, not bad for a Kiwi on the southern end of the world

@Yorkright - Thank you!

@WarbossDakka - Regarding Morty, the only thing I don't like about the model is the facial region, it should be a focal point and its just a mess.

@Gits - Thank you

@Zerg - In terms of the purple, it was an older purple paint mixed with black, then layered with its normal colour, then mixed that with hormagaunt purple then last highlight of hormagaunt purple then purple wash. Blue was along the same scheme, dark blue mixed with black etc etc.

@Cam - Cheers

@Mad - In this context... its a word, A mighty fine word indeed

Update: The Chaos lord done, does he look like a 40k Arthas the Lich King?

Awesome Knightley. I get what you mean though, there's too much going on, especially since his body isn't actually that physically big.

Excellent work all around, as usual. I was strongly considering picking up a DV lord myself for the very same thing! Mine would be a little more simplistic, but his sword is too frostmourne-like to ignore! "Ice" job buddy!

@Mad - No worries, hopefully soon

Good to hear you had fun at the snow, trust the weather was all good?

Is this marine affectionately known as "sarge"?

@Mad - yeah, the two days we were there for were really good, sunny, warm and awesome snow! Now regarding this guys name, I'm not sure, why not open this up to the readers for their suggestions?

Looks like you kitbashed a bunch of Marine kits to make this guy. Very cool! The paintjob is looking great so far; he'll make a pretty cool looking squad leader for sure!

It's always impressive how effortlessly these look kitbashed, yet always part of a consistent whole. Another belter!

@Zerg - Yeah, you pretty much nailed it on the head, I have a bunch of parts that all fit my aesthetic and when it comes to building I can just jam a bunch together for the best look.

@Gits - Thank you!

@Graven - Cheers matey

Update: Reds and whites done
