Brother Nathan Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 well with dark vengeance out and many models now on our desks to paint lets post up our progress and work ourselves into this. so to stat heres the wip of my iron warriors http://i155.photobucket.com/albums/s317/generalhazard_album/models/DSCN0547.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totgeboren Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Cool, they work well in IW colours too! But am I the only one that noticed they are at least half a head taller than the standard plastic CSM? Especially the dudes with bolters are a helmet taller than the basic CSM we have. This is somewhat worrying, as I don't want all my old minis to look tiny next to the new ones. :thanks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is somewhat worrying, as I don't want all my old minis to look tiny next to the new ones. :thanks: I think that's mostly because they're standing straight, but it bugs me, too. I recently made a squad of Berzerkers using the running legs from Forge World armour marks II, III and V, and those 8 guys are all at least half a head taller than my basic semi-squatting Chaos Marines. Grrr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reyner Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I'm glad the Chosen are taller - they are the Chosen of the gods! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve shields Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 i like the idea behind this thread, i have all mine built and based, and am in process of converting them up to make them even cooler. but work is getting in the way of true progress, so ill post a wip shot of what i have tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ragnarok Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 As I have plenty of basic troopers I was going to use the chosen in the boxed set as Chosen...perhaps their time in the warp, or their rewards, have given them a little extra height. :P I must say I'm jealous I have not received my preorder and you already have paint on yours. :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm going to use my chosen from this box, when they get here in the mail, as a small squad of Beasts of Annihilation. The Hellbrute will be fun too. The cultists will fit in nicely as traitor guard. Not sure what I'm going to do with the LE chaplain though. Just ordered the limited edition one because it was limited edition... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffJedi Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 You could swap the Crozus for an Axe and use him as a Khârn the Betrayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeller Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Working on remaking the gun on the hellbrute as well as making it look less warpspawned. Will post pictures tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is somewhat worrying, as I don't want all my old minis to look tiny next to the new ones. ;) Which is a good thing since normal CSMs are way to small. :P So far 2 cultists finished. The next 2 will be done today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Nihm Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I skipped getting Dark Vengeance but I will follow this thread with great interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excessus Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Now the question is, should I convert one of the duplicate boltermarines into carrying a plasmagun? :lol: ...and I'm most likely going to convert away most of the power weapons for regular ccws so I can use my chosen...

Xenith Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I skipped getting Dark Vengeance Now this is the most intriguing post in the thread, what's the reason? Looking forward to seeing the marines in different schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrox Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Now the question is, should I convert one of the duplicate boltermarines into carrying a plasmagun? ;) I changed the head - it was a nightmare as you need to make some sort of collar for the replacement. Also cut the chain of his bolter and changed the backpack - looks different enough now @OP - good idea with the thread :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr Shepard Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 You could swap the Crozus for an Axe and use him as a Khârn the Betrayer. He has a visible Dark Angels heraldy... Anyway I built one of the three Dark Vengeance boxes I bought and I painted three cultists (other two are nearly completed). I have still to decide the painting scheme for the CSM, the ones in Power Armour :o... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paint them as Beasts of Annihilation! ^_^ Since I plan to use my CSM for a renegade chapter not devoted, or not completed devoted, to chaos gods I was thinking about the Alpha Legion and/or Night Lords colours. If I'm not mistaken Alpha Legion was considered a "badass organization" even for Astartes, who are all very badass ;) , standard. Aren't they the ones who always proved their superiority in fluff? The only I think I want to avoid is... Pink SM. Nothing personal but I simply don't like the idea to have my super human warriors clad in pink armour...

Excessus Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 The Alpha Legion MO has always been superior logistics and communications, since it's required for their specialized style of warfare(hit the enemy from all possible angles +1) and their infiltrating operations. The Alpha Legion also have another thing that I like, they(even above other astartes) value all the legionnaires own initiative. Look at Serpent Beneath for instance, a normal squad(albeit a really good one) takes part in the planning of an operation because their input is valued highly.

Muskie Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Was a decision made on the ability to paint Cultists and post the pictures to the B&C. You'd think that with them being in the Power Armor VS Power Armor box set it would be kosher. I started to work on Renegades using the IA 7 list but I don't think I'll ever get that or any army done, but I will do one, possibly two units of cultists using a mix of bits, Necromunda figs, and of course the new guys. Originally I was thinking one squad for H2H one squad for shooting, but I don't really want any static elements in my next generation army, so although I'm crazy enough to paint huge units, I know they don't work well in all situations. I may limit the squad size to what fits in the biggest transport, leaving room for the Independent Character cheerleader guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I plan on painting my 2 sets up as Black Legion and Iron Warriors while the cultists will be painted as random rabble. However, I'm really tempted to try Blood Gorgons... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqui Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Mine are still on sprues at the moment. I've decided to use them for my Bahltimyr Reavers War Band, but I'm still trying to work out what colour goes where before I put paint to plastic as I don't want to mess up and then change half way through painting.... It doesn't help that there is a lot of detail on the mini's (especially the Hellbrute) and it's kinda intimidating to be honest :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this rate I'll need to be put in a Hellbrute! :) I might just paint that Termi Lord/Sorcerer I've had for over a year (and done nothing with except put together - not even sure what I've built it as to be honest) and see how I get on with that :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neigorath Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Got two boxes worth of chaos in the pipeline now. Need to figure out how to convert the other hellbrute to make it distinct enough. One of the chosen champions will become a Dark Apostole in the service of Black Legion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
