WELL there is only a few more days before the tournament, and the army is still not finished!

I am pumpin it out as quickly as I can to get this finished by Sunday. I've already lowered my own standards of painting to a very basic level, until the tournament is over at least, basic scheme to get them on the table, and then finish the details etc once the timeline pressure has relaxed a little.

I have some more work in progress shots however


Here are my WiP Chosen Marines, together with the Dark Apostle..


The Rhinos so far.. It seems like they all have their own slightly different shades of red :S Which is not the greatest thing, but it is what it is..

Thanks again all for the interest!

The coats on those other two rhinos looks so clean and crisp. Wonderful job you did mate. You already know it, but I am in love with what you did to those icons on either side of the rhinos and can't wait to see this army on the table finished. Why do the treads look so black though?

ARHHHHGGG xD

Must Not Look At Awesome Chaos Marines
Must Resist Chaos
Must Resist Doing Models
Must Resist GW

ARHHHHGGG xD

and now i have to to make some actual chaos again well whatever it will be awesome

anyway i ramble just finished reading through your thread and i must say you really do inspire me to get my chaos done

yours just look SO good *drools*

cant wait to see more

I love your work especially the Dark Apostle. I can't wait to see the finished Chosen.
Subscribed and Exalt +1

I can't believe, out of 30 people, we played eachother in a tournament and for once your chaos marines won! You are bearing the word in a big way. Now make a new list and really start taking names.

WELL DAKKAHEADS!

This is my 100th post, so I figured I'd make it something special!

I've got a fair few photos to upload, so here we go!

Just had the tournament last night, so following are a couple of pics of the army.
(Keep in mind the army isn't quite finished. There's still a few different models I plan on using in the future, and the models that I DID use, aren't quite finished anyway, but this is the standard they were done to, in order to play)



Bit of a lighting difference in these pictures, makes quite a big difference to the look really..



Here's a couple of shots I took today in the sunlight to try and show them in some natural light








Now, onto the results!
Overall, I ended up coming 13th overall, out of 28 players.
Considering it was my first tournament ever, with my first army ever, using a list that wasn't competitive (using Chaos, with no Daemon Princes, no lash, no Vindicators, no Obliterators), I'm quite happy with the results.

Here are some of the other beautiful armies that were being played on the day.


From left to right, top to bottom;
Ultramarines
Lamenters
Tyranid Genestealer army (I played against this for my 4th game, was very interesting)
Beautifully painted Eldar
Pre-heresy Space Wolves
Ultramarines
And lastly, an amazing Space Wolves army, which has an AMAZING Wolf Lord as it's centrepiece. This army won 1st place overall, as well as Best Sport, and I believe Best Painted army..

And a few more shots to finish off.


Another objective that I made


My army's deployment against omgitsduane's Traitor Guard army

Slaughter the dogs!


And a shot of the game vs the Tyranids.. man those things are nasty!

Well, now that that part is all done and dusted, it's time to;
Finish the current models. They all need a bit of paint still on them before I consider them finished
Assemble new models. I have a Daemon Prince kit, a Land Raider, some more daemons, and some more marines sitting here to add.
Write some new lists, and play some games!

Thanks for reading all!

Dude this is an amazing 100th update! Well done in the tournament for one thing! Much better than I think we both thought we'd be. As for the army keep working on it and eventually we'll both have huge chaos forces that might be worthy of killing anything other than stomping guardsmen heads!

That altar is great man.

Seriously. That sargaent with the fist... Has to be one of the best chaos marines I've ever seen! I can't wait for apocalypse this weekend when we smash those loyalist blue pansies and those space fairies. BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

The "group photo" complete w/ display board was impressive. This is one of the better "for play" armies I've seen in a long time, and to know that it is only going to grow from here is really awesome. Looking forward to whatever comes next!

Thanks guys, must say, I expected maybe a bit of a bigger response from what I thought was a huge update, oh well, haha.

New stuff coming up soon.
New Chaos units, and a hint of something completely new, just gotta get the pics online...

That's the internets for you

Very impressive army you got,looks deadly.

I know it's been a bit delayed, but here is the pic I promised showing my new project



It's not quite finished, I have some thinking to do about the direction I wanna take with the rest of the model, and then decide whether I want to paint a whole army that way.

Any comments, ideas or critisisms would be greatly appreciated, as I really wanna work something magical into this

Also, there is some cool new chaos stuff I've been working on.... Stay tuned.

Love the necron scheme. Have you decided on the gun yet?

I was just looking over your scheme and I can sort of see why, even with some unfinished models how you scored better than me, its clear that each of your finished guys is just at an above tabletop standard. There is a lot of work put into this army from the ground up and I admire it. I'll need some mean bases for my termies now.

Really interesting scheme. I much prefer ceramic style crons to metal. Nice job!

Put another pic up when you get the gun done!

Hey guys!
It's been forever since my last update, most of this has been due to working on a side project (link is here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/438963.page)
I've also been working on some chaos stuff lately, however just haven't documented much, but figured I should post some stuff as this thread did draw a bit of attention in it's day!

Here's some of the following work that I've been up to lately!




Just some preview shots for now, more to follow-!

Edit: Also notices that it seems all the photobucket uploaded images have disappeared :( Not sure if they do that once the account's been inactive or what the story is, I'll see if there's any way to fix it)
Edit Edit: Turns out a while ago I moved my photobucket images into folders, which, of course, changed the url >.< If I could undo this, I would in a heartbeat, but alas! Now my thread will look ugly with broken images forever. Looks like I'll ahve to do a photo shoot for all of my models sometime soon!

Here are some of the pics I promised to upload! New updates!!


Original Rhino - updated with freehand on top doors and additional painting.


Original Rhino - updated with additional painting.
'Verba' is 'Word' in Latin

After all the debacle I've had previously with the specific red I wanted to use, GW in this time have changed their paint range, so I've needed to settle on something new. This is to be the new red used for the army (I had to premix this colour so hopefully I can mix more consistently!)


Paint in Progress Hellbrute with the new red colour


Assault marine using the new red.


New Dark Vengeance Champion - not complete


And the army as it stands currently.

Thanks for looking!

Liking it! A LOT!

Good to see dude, keep the updates coming. Post all the hobby.

Hey, I remember this thread! Welcome back! The new work looks excellent and I'm looing forward to seeing more! Really like the Dreadnought. Yes, I know. Just because GW renamed it doesn't mean it changed what it is.

Thanks Skalk! Good to know I'm still putting out stuff worth checking out.

Did a bit of painting tonight, been working on a new squad champion, now that I've been generally running them cheap with standard weapons rather than power weapons.
He's also got a candle on his backpack, just because, you know, Word Bearers are into that kinda stuff



Edit: Just noted upon uploading, that the lighting for the photo wasn't so great, it really washed out and overbrightened the tones on the skulls and stuff, it looks far better in person.
I may have to take some more photos to put up something that shows off a little more of my layering

So things have been slow to progress, with the exception perhaps of the last week or two, so I've done what seems to have (mostly) worked last time. Enrolled in some tournaments!

Not only are they good for gaming, but they help provide a timeframe that painting needs to be done by, which helps motivate me to punch out hobby at a decent rate. I have two coming up, an 1850 at the end of March, and a 1250 mid April.
That means there should be a load of new pics coming up over the next month! Stay tuned.

For now, I'm finishing what I've got started, but, as 6th ed has changed the game, I have some reinforcements on their way! (think allies... )

And some reinforcements have arrived!!



That's 5 screamers, and 5 flamers, also a Lord of Change to come, and 5 horrors (one or two which were posted earlier in this thread, painted a long time ago!)

Also recieved some of the new Deathwing Knights models. I plan on using these to convert up some Chaos Terminators, so far this is what I've come up with





All the arms are magnetised, so far I've put magnets into about 3 pairs of lightning claws, one mace/shield (sure we can't take em, but they look awesome!) the heavy flamer, and also a random combi bolter.

I think the robes and tabards look quite cool and very Word Bearers-esque, but I also feel they need a little extra to really distinguish them as being Chaos.. any ideas out there?

This last lot of images are broken. Your Word Bearers are pretty damn nice as well.

Images should be fixed

Oh, I'm liking the DW Knight conversions!

Consider that idea stolen!

Hmm. More skulls, more chains, & brass chaos icons, methinks?

I should add that they look v cool btw.

Daemons all primed up!
