This is completely awesome!! Thank you from bring it to our attention.

Fantastic work! I've been out for most of 9 years and have recently dug out the old storage boxes where my army has been hibernating for all that time. I'm happy to see that I'm not alone resurrecting an old chaos force! Your guys look amazing, well done!

Thread Necro!! (But I'm the OP, so it doesn't really count... ) Long story short all my 40K stuff got packed away when my son was about 1yr old. 4 big storage tubs packed tight. Well, he's almost 10 now and interested in 40K - so the armies are being resurrected. First out is the AOBR (That's "Assault on Black Reach", the 5th edition starter set from 2008) dreadnought conversion - Added the nurgletubes and other stuff and I think he looks great. Will do just a bit more prep and magnetize the arms, but he's essentially ready for paint.

Thanks!! As for his balance, he looks considerably more stable if his head is tilted in a bit... It's the little things that make big differences, and I'm not sure I am going to use that helmet. However, I will absolutely be hacking/bending/fitting the next few riders - this one was a severe pain to get posed. Also I am going to have a little variation with the guns and how the rider shoots them. The next will be similar to a Kroothound, one might be brandishing 2 normal meltas, etc...

'Attack Bike with Multi-Melta' The Bloodcrushers are the biggest reason why I am sticking to the Khorne theme. http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3379.jpg http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3380.jpg http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3381.jpg The heads (rider and mount) are not finished/glued. They are there to fill-out the model. I think the model looks pretty good...

Yes, it does look like that, dosen't it... :lol:

They are Daemonic steeds gifted by Khorne to carry his warriors into battle... :P In other news, I have the first of the Bloodcrusher riders posed and placed, I just need to figure out how to glue him in place, it's a bit precarious... Pictures once it's complete.

Big Update! The first Command Squad is assembled. As with the entire project, guns will be mounted later. http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3367.jpg Captian with Command Squad http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3368.jpg Captian with Relic Blade http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3369.jpg http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3370.jpg Lightning Claw (big enough to work while mounted...)

It's better than I imagined, I'm very pleased. 10/518

Ok, here is some WIP shots of the assembly - nothing fancy. http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3361.jpg More troopers http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3362.jpg Knights with bloodcrusher for scale. I am still completely at a loss for what base to use on these guys... http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3366.jpg Some neat bits - a Lightning claw big enough to work while mounted, Iron Halo bunny ears, the beginnings of a melta http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3364.jpg Captain with Relic Blade

Got a box of the new Bloodcrushers, that, and my 2 metal ones will be more than enough 'attack bikes' for the army. The new kit is amazing! My biggest problem is I don't know what base would be appropriate for it - Attack bikes don't have bases, a 60 seems too big, and though they will fit on the bike lozenges, that seems too small. Anyway, I have been assembling my second squad of Knights/bikes, I really, really, really like these models. This group will be a command squad, so I get to do neat things like an Apothecary, Company Champion, and Veterans with Storm Shields, hammers, Lightning Claws, and other nifty things. Also the first captain is currently in progress, he will be fairly normal, with no upgrades other than the bike(horse) and a Relic Blade (using the gigantic Hellblade from the Bloodcrusher box, which, I might say, looks totally and completely bad-a$$!) This army will be initially build to 1850pt, and I am planning on taking it to Adepticon. I also have a great idea for a display board, so by getting started now, I should have plenty of time to have it complete by then. Again, pics when I have some... In general everything looks very much like the photos all ready posted.

The next stage of this project will be making Bloodcrushers with marines riding them - these will be used as Attack Bikes. (Yes, I am planing on using the loyalist Space Marine Codex for this army, it's the only really effective way to use massed bikes.) Stay tuned...

Um, yes, you did... Sorry... Mix the Foundation flesh color with pink, paint a solid coat. Wash with purple Drybrush the pink, for highlights.

I'm modeling exactly that - http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3218.jpg http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3219.jpg

Here is some progress - http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3218.jpg http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa276/aeroplane_album/DSCF3219.jpg
