This is more a general purpose blog which will initailly focus on the rebuilding of my old CSM force and soon the start of a (mostly converted) Chaos Dwarf force for Fantasy. Along with occasional imput of new ideas for my existing Daemon, WoC and Beastmen armies.

I've currently got my Black Legion in progress repainting some old models. So far I have a Sorcerer, 2 10 man squads, 2 Obliterators and 3 Bikes at varying stages of painting with the next group of Kharn, 16 Berserkers, 12 more Chaos Marines and 5 Havocs still in the rebuilding stage. I'll have the first images up somepoint tomorrow hopefully.

The first group in progress.

Started working on Kharn and the Berzerkers.

Basecoats and washes done now. Just highlighting and details to go with this guy.

The next three Berzerkers basecoated. Though I think the champion needs more work to look less like a Red Corsair.

The first squad is now basecoated and washed so I've gone back to clean up all mould lines before moving on to highlighting. The next update should come over the weekend with a start on the basing scheme.

All 8 guys now free of mould lines. I should have the bases finished by tonight.

Looking good, I hope to see more in the future, I really like the Obliterators, how did you do the flesh? It looks really good.
Keep it up bro.

Cheers, man.
The Obliterator flesh is:
Tallarn Flesh base
Devlan Mud wash
Drybrushed with Tallarn then Screaming Skull
The bruising is created with successive washes of Baal Red then Leviathan Purple.

Well I hope you don't mind if I 'borrow' that technique if I ever start a Chaos army, seriously, this is one nice blog.

First Berzerker is just about done, though I've not yet decided what colour to do the eyes yet.

Got somewhat surprised by the news of WoC next month so I've got some Fantasy back on the paint station. I'm aiming to finish this Berzerker unit before I start adding any new stuff.

Just got the last of my coursework assignments sorted so I can crack on with some painting the next week or so.
Undivided Chaos Warriors:

Warriors progressing nicely:

The newest additions to the host:

Those the new dragon ogres? I was looking at them at my GW store today. I didn't really like how they looked on the box, but the actually pretty neat here. Perhaps I shall aquire some....Warriors look really good too.

Cheers
I really like the new Dragon Ogres, they look great and are very imposing. I've since added three more and started to get some paint on them:

Progress on the first unit:
I'll get the dragon half done either tomorrow or Tuesday after uni.

Got all the airbrushing and heavy drybrush work out of the way now. I'm now in the process of tidying and painting the details then the final step is snow on the bases. Aiming to have these done for the weekend.

Holy waffles those look really good. Must...go...buy....some....

The first of the Dragon Ogres is now finished:

Looking really good mate. Love those Dragon Ogre models. Never really been into Fantasy, but those make me want to paint up a Chaos force.

Models look great, especially the dragon ogres! Whereabouts in the North East are you btw?

I live in Washington, Tyne & Wear.

Second Dragon Ogre done. Third one just needs final highlighting.

The unit is done now plus the extra shoulder armour I forgot about initially.

Dragon Ogres look badass, colour scheme is really good.

Cheers man! Wherebouts do you game?

Progress this week: Back onto the footsloggers with the second rank of my Khorne warriors.
Also been revisiting some Necrons to get them ready for a small tourney in a couple months.
I know that the purple looks really bad in the pics, this scheme doesn't seem to like artificial light.

I've started going to a great club up in Blyth called the Northumbrian Adventurers Guild, Sunday afternoons. I'm trying to find some other places to get games mid-week nights or Saturdays... local GW at the Metro Centre always has plenty on but seems a little geared towards total beginners or setup for really short games?

Have you tried Newcastle GW? Game night is on Wednesday and there's also a decent chance of games on Saturday.
