Slave to Darkness Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Skimming through this forum and stumbled upon peoples Call to Chaos bits n bobs, and thought to myself 'I wanna get in on the action', so I started this here doodad to show my passable (just) efforts. I chose Slannesh as a break from paintng Plague Marines and Word Bearers, and because I wanted to push my painting style (Im used to dirty and darker looking minis) by painting brighter and 'cleaner' minis. My Pledged units are... Chaos Lord x6 Chaos Marines x6 Chaos Marines x3 Bikes (Converted marines riding Steeds) Keeper of Secrets x12 Daemonettes Squad of Terminators To start Ill be doing the Lord, one unit of Marines, Bikers and the Keeper of Secrets. Im trying to fit some of the old Realm of Chaos flavour into this army (hence my Steed riding Marines) doing my best with current minis, and using a similar colour scheme to Johan Kolkjaer's 'Children of Lishtaar' (WD 289 Jan 2004) Chaos Marines. Atm Im finishing building the Bikers (need arms) and a few other small bits then Ill be undercoating either tonight or tomorrow, my first pic update will be after that. I know Im cutting it a bit fine joining the Call to Chaos so late, but if I didnt have to work to a deadline Ill never get anything done, as Im not really a big fan of painting tbh.

Forté Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Look forward to this. Always been a fan of the old Slaves to Darkness book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Man, I hate to be a turd to a new poster but to say that icon is questionable is only assuming the question is how soon will it be taken down. You might want to change it while it is still your choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted December 3, 2013 Author Share Posted December 3, 2013 wow, that has to be my fastest friendly 'warning' i've ever had on a forum XD changed it, think this one is a bit less 'breasty'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Lol. PG13 I'm afraid. No proper 'Slaves to Darkness' stuff (just like GW these days). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 yet they still sell the chaos lord on boob worm mini, and them 'nid thorax mounted death spiters... hmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 First up we have the Chaos Lord and one of the Chaos Marine Squads. Then the counts as Bikes chappies Finally a lil something I got off Ebay a few months ago (to be stripped or just sprayed over to save time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Always nice to see some Slaaneshi stuff. :) I'd definitely strip that old Kipper rather than spraying over the top otherwise you run the risk of too many layers of paint potentially ruining the finer details. As for the Marines, what's your colour scheme? Are you going pink, purple or other? Either way I'm looking forward to seeing some painted models. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 This looks interesting! I've always wanted to do a Slannesh warband, but without the time and money I think I'll just follow yours instead! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Like where this is headed. Your bikers ;) really look the part. So, like Mike was asking. What's your colour thoughts? Being that you're aiming for old classic Slaves to Darkness I'm guessing a riot of pastels. Do you still have the Realm of Chaos books for reference? I do if you need any of the colour pages (well, pics off. No way I'm parting with any part of those baby's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Base coats down... Here is a pik of my Slaanesh Dark Apostle nearly finished so you can get a better idea of the colour, Pastels did cross my mind but I wanna use the paints that I have rather than go out and buy more that Ill hardly use, and Ive only ever seen one army painted this way. But I think my Daemons will be goin a bit more retro coloured. I do have the RoC books, but I left them at a friends up in liverpool when I moved down to norfolk, but luckily I have the Pdf's on my computer so that makes the pain of my herpaderp easier to swallow.

chaplainmikey Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 You don't see all that many orange Marines armies often but I think it works really well. The guys' with two heads, are they Dark Eldar heads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ammonius Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Nice! I like the perverse contrast between "Brutal Goat-Headed Chaos Warrior!" and "Delicious Orange Creamsicle" colors. A fine start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Well the inspiration came from this article, but I aint quite nailed it lol. Ahh well, I never claimed to be a good painter. Still need to do highlights etc on stuff so it will look a bit more like what its meant to be, and the paint rainge has changed a bit since this article was printed.

Slave to Darkness Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Something unrelated to my thread, found an old WD mag from June 1993 (issue 162) back when it cost £2.25 lol. I thought you oldschool RoC types would appreciate it. My mates giving me his old Rogue Trader dread for xmas (theres one in the khorne pik) I think that would look rather spanking in my Slaanesh warband me thinks :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I still have quite a few of the old Chaos Champions (and the old assassin & harliquin). Not seen those pics for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 I doubt you would, but if you ever wanna part with them... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Never want to part with those ;) and I do still have a few old WD issues. Just don't really go throught them often these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierdale Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 Would love to have that old assassin! And that old Dread should look great in your warband :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 That old dread was so much smaller than the current size. Does show that the Hellbrute wasn't really a new idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave to Darkness Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Yea the dread is tiny! Ill just bulk up the base to make it look taller... Anyhoo, didnt get that much done last night, got too engrossed with Unremembered Empire and drank way to much RedBull and got the shakes, so I did what I could... Daemonettes were another score off Ebay, no wonder they were so cheap, thick layers of paint and mold lines, so I spent ages tidying them up, I decided to run these as a Unit of 11 and a herald (Herald has a whip)... Keeper of Secrets I just tinkered with, Ive ran outta spray so I didnt bother stripping, just used what was there as a bass coat, need to finish the skin and horns mainly, then lil fiddly bits after. Bit more on Chaos Lord. Some more on squad, need to highlight and ink, and finish weapons, blacks goin a bit watery so Ill give it a damn good stir later.

Slave to Darkness Posted December 8, 2013 Author Share Posted December 8, 2013 Im gonna do something unrelated to this Call to Chaos, but will fit in with my Warband... Im gonna build it alongside my Warband but paint it when Ive finished my pledges... (Digs through bits box for, bits, bobs and doodads) I did have an idea for a War Altar-Daemon Engine, like a defiler with a Marshal Amp instead of a Cannon and an old Noise Marine Shredding some OldSchool Carcass or Slayer, but realised that my notso large mandollie budget wouldnt stretch that far coming up to xmas, so Ill go Retro with the RoC style Altar just remembered the woman carried round on a palanquin on a Daemon world in Inquisitor (Later changed to Draco), might try something like that but with less Breasts (my greenstuff fu isnt amazing) now I have many ideas (excited squeal) ahem... Think this will be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
