Sgt. Blank Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 This is a great army - thanks for posting it! I've got a heldrake I am slowly painting on my desk and this is inspirational Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith’ari Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Wow thanks mate! I'm glad that my stuff helps inspire other people's hobby. Please post up a pic of your Heldrake when its done as I'd love to see it! Work continues on Squad D'har, though I had no idea just how detailed the MkIII suits actually were until I started painting them. Soooo many rivets!

Sith’ari Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 To quote an old classic - "RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!" Its been a long time since I updated, but after a quick dalliance with some Daemons I'm back to my one, true love! So this is what I've been up to recently... First up, some pics of my ETL entries: Squad D'har http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/sangapics13/03b60335-083a-4312-a6eb-7624be7513e2_zpse99834d1.jpg The Jackals of Mendestus http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/sangapics13/c0f3bb0c-0aa4-405a-a0e4-bd7686480645_zpsbd1d80f8.jpg Then something a little more recent, another Lord vying for control of the Gate Aflame: Jorg Valgaddon http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/sangapics13/ed151283-55a5-4b51-b798-37e4d9de9b12_zps15b53b10.jpg Finally, as the second year of my new Black Legion warband comes to a close, its time for their annual group photo! The Gate Aflame class of 2013 http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/sangapics13/f60d0bd3-a596-4f4f-988a-99257122ae6c_zpsa5f6f865.jpg So sorry for the lack of updates recently guys. I intend to update this a lot more frequently & with a squad of chosen on the table, it looks like it'll be another Chaosy year! :) Cheers!

Midnightmare Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Great looking army you have going on here, they look very impressive together. Nice kit bashing and poses. Me likey, especially Mr Valgaddon, how did you paint his face? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammeron Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Very, very cool work: I love to see the various ways in which people make the Black Legion visually distinct and all their own. Great looking army! Do you have any background for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crucial Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Love your dual claw termie lord. The whole vying for control of the warband really brings alot of character to the model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of the Raven Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 They're so clean. Jorg Valgaddon's face really impresses me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dar'kir Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Amazing work thus far. I agree with Knight of the Raven, those are some amazingly clean paint jobs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith’ari Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Cheers guys, I hope everyone had a great Christmas! @Midnight Runner: Jorg's face uses the same skin recipe for the rest of my warband, just with a couple of extra highlights. 1) Basecoat with the old foundation Dheneb Stone. Not quite sure what its equivalent is in the new range, Rakarth flesh maybe? 2) Wash Leviathan purple (or watered down Druchii Violet.) 3) Layer with some heavily watered down Dheneb. It might need a couple of coats, but the aim is to keep the purple showing through the skin, whilst keeping it different from the shadows. Sounds trickier than it is, so just layer to taste! 4) Highlight with Palid Wych flesh and Voila! One seriously unhealthy, batch of skin! @Dammeron: My regular gaming buddy & I always go a bit overboard when it comes to background for our armies. In fact, I have a stack of background notes on my table about these guys from when he & I fought in the old 13th Black Crusade campaign. I'm trying to condense them down into some sort of coherrent story before our next narrative campaign, so I'll post it up pretty soon! So I may have set myself a crazy challenge for this year... I want to have at least one of everything in the codex painted, by this time next year. At current count, thats 19 units by Dec 30th 2014. Sounds simple enough... Cheers!

Prot Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Fantastic work. Jorg makes Abaddon look so dated. Like everyone has said, the face tonal work on your HQ is awesome. Good luck in 2014 with the army! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FENRISÚLFUR Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I really like how deep and dark the black is on the armor, great work! I second the comments on Jorg, he makes ole' Abbs look so out of date and in need of a resculpt! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 So I may have set myself a crazy challenge for this year... I want to have at least one of everything in the codex painted, by this time next year. At current count, thats 19 units by Dec 30th 2014. Sounds simple enough... Cheers! Less than 2 units per month, if you can make and paint a new one every 2 weeks, then you're golden! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sception Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 With some magnetization & conversion work, you could probably even cheat on a couple (fiends, oblits/muts, rhino chassis vehicles, etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenith Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 With some magnetization & conversion work, you could probably even cheat on a couple (fiends, oblits/muts, rhino chassis vehicles, etc).

Sception Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Even if you want the one of everything shot, it might still be a good idea. Sure, you'll want 'one mauler and one forge' for your pic, but if you ever actually play with them, you'll want two maulers and no forges or vice versa.

FENRISÚLFUR Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Question for you Sith'ari, which shoulder pads did you use for the basic marines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith’ari Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 @Xenith: Haha! I'm completely rubbish when it comes to sticking to deadlines! I fully expect to have to pull a few late nighters in this project, but it will be done! :D @malisteen: Hmm. I've never thought about that before & its a really good idea! I'm hoping to eventually have enough fiends (mauler & forge) for a couple of Apoc formations, but until then, magnetising a couple is a really solid plan. Any thoughts on what size I'd need? @FENRISÚLFER: They're the old, metal Black Legion pads mate. Link Hopefully that link works, if not you can find them in the CSM section under bits. They're nice pads, but they're too small for the raptor arms and won't fit without a bit of work. I've finished painting the first two chosen & I think I've fallen in love with the dark vengeance set! I'm currently converting up the rest of the squad, so hopefully I should have them finished by next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith’ari Posted January 14, 2014 Author Share Posted January 14, 2014 Yup! The majority of the shoulder pads I use though, are the old Metals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith’ari Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Phew! Finally finished the chosen squad today and I have to say, they were probably the trickiest things I've ever had to paint. There is just soooo much detail, that every time you thing you've finished, you notice yet another part you've missed! I'm definitely glad to have them finished. The Kel Hadeem - Those who walk the ashes. http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa130/sangapics13/eb647da7-4080-4a56-855b-6964d4141a89_zpsee7c5d21.jpg Now I haven't quite decided what I fancy painting next, but what I do know is that I need a break from black! So I'm trying to decide between some Bezerkers, Noise marines or cultists. Help me decide B&C, your my only hope! :D Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rune_Priest_Rhapsody Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Cultists!! They're so annoying to paint (IMO), might as well get them out of the way!! That's one great looking Chosen unit though!! End of Line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith’ari Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Haha! Well as it turns out Khorne made the choice for me. My cultist sprues have gone into hiding and I've got to wait a couple of weeks for my Noise marine parts to arrive, so Bezerkers it is! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
