+++Call of Chaos IX+++


Captain Semper

Recommended Posts

Just quote my army log post on today update show some progress.

Also Semper that the Predator vow started with the before photos in the spoiler.  Do you want me to edit my first post to included it?

Pretty much right now

  • Still to buy a Rhino transport for my Daemonkin unit
  • Daemonkin unit is there, still build them.  Got Sunday off in two week time.
  • Chaos Knight, starting to paint the model tomorrow
  • Dreadclaw, still trying to think what I want to do.  See if a idea will work out.  Again this is most like going to get dealt with in two week time, that way nothing else is in the way.

So almost there with all my vows.

 

Also Semper is there a Horus Heresy version of Call of Chaos that happens?

 

 

 

 

 

 

I really enjoy going through your painting log here mate, everything you do has so much though and effort put into it and you always have a plan. Really inspiring!

 

Thanks

As said just collecting armies & add models I think look cool.  That really important to me & building up the theme & background to them though some great games & events I go to.

 

Update

 

The Renegade Knight almost there.  Just got to paint the base & add transfer, then he ready for vanish & weather powder.

Box of models try get painted.  Just right now keeping my Bloodletter, Space Wolves Razorback & Deathwatch in this box for the moment.

 

http://i626.photobucket.com/albums/tt347/Insane-Psychopath/2016/DSC00465_zpsu5somlcs.jpg

 

I should have the other 15 Bloodletter painted over the next two weeks.  Then I think it just detail work like painting the Rune on the Daemonic blades. 

 

So my Call of Chaos models are getting there.  When I start paint that never a issue.  I just need to pick up a Rhino for my Daemonkin unit & get them built.

WIP pics of the second unit in my vow, a Night Lords Havoc Squad with lascannons and banner. I used the BoP plastic MkIII marines - what a joy to have them! Curiously these seem to ahve an even bigger empty space hidden in their lower legs than teh MkIV marines. When I drill into the soles of their feet for the paper clip holding pins, there's a jolt of free room after only 2mm drilling. There's also FW NL shoulder pads and the excellent Night Lords trophy bits that a 3d party Russian designer released a couple months back. I opted for Chaos Warrior helmets for them, because I like the feral look itgives them. I'm not quite sure I'll keep this, though...

Looking good, Celtic_cauldron and Uveron!

@ Uveron: your camera - and even the lighting - seem fine. It's the background that make your pictures a bit 'meh'. Why not print out one of these, and use them for background? I use the same ones, and printed them on A2 paper.

Yes, that is the big thing I need to do. I have tryred to get some backdrop set-up the issue I have had is that it messes up the lighting as I am just using the lights of the room. So I need to get some additional light sources as well. I had it almost set up last year but then I had to move, and my current life 'on the road' limits my ability to build a light box somewhat. 

 

But yes that site does have some good backdrops, I will see if I can work out how to get one made.

I Mandaloriano, answer the Call of Chaos and vow to complete 1 squad of  8 Chaos Space Marines , and 2 Rhinos for the Brazen Hounds, worshipers of Khorne before December 15th 2016. If I do this successfully I will receive the Mark of Ultimate Deception and continue on the path to ruin. If I fail I’ll wear the Mark of the Lost and I expect no mercy on my soul!

Welcome to Augustus and Mandaloriano - good luck to both!

Incidentally, both 'before' and 'after' pictures are required. Will there be seperate links to'posts with 'before' pictures, or should I edit those into the 'vow comment'? smile.png

Actually, I'd rather you edit the "Before" pics in the original vow and just make separate posts for the "After" as you complete them (so I can link them next to the entry in the first page). I just started with this format now - to complicated to change it at this point... confused.gif

Just quote my army log post on today update show some progress.

Also Semper that the Predator vow started with the before photos in the spoiler. Do you want me to edit my first post to included it?

OK, check the first page and let me know if you're happy with it (I added a pred in your list). Also, yes, there is a HH event, the Loyalty and Treachery scheduled to run on Jan 15th. Hope to see you there! :)

Another question for Captain Semper: is it possible to get Medallions for the participation and eventual win/fail badges for this event?

You will indeed get medallions for the win/fail - not for participation though...


UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

I Kierdale answer the Call of Chaos and vow to complete one unit of ten Chaos cultists before December 15th 2016. If I do this successfully I will receive the Mark of Ultimate Deception and continue on the path to ruin. If I fail I’ll wear the Mark of the Lost and I expect no mercy on my soul!

Hidden Content

”Some say they are fallen Eldar, others say those same elfin xenos but spared sacrifice to She Who Must Not Be Named provided they swear to fight for the Naga.” The taleteller began to laugh but it was a wet laugh which soon turned to a hacking cough.

“Other still will tell you they are Nephilim or Cambion. The offspring of Q’tlahs’itsu’aksho – the maidens of the Dark Prince – coupling with mortals. Not always willingly,” the old wretch grinned lasciviously.

“But I,” the caitiff continued, “I say they are the Blessed Ones. The Touched Ones. Those who have rutted with the beast and have glimpsed His palace in their ecstasy. All else is now naught but ennui. They seek pain and they seek death in the service of the Prince’s chosen, believing they are awaited by His maidens in paradise.”

The inquisitor slapped his gloved hand across the old man’s face, his signet ring splitting the man’s cheek, and spat on him.

“Take him to my ship, to the cells. I will learn all he knows of these `Blessed Ones` and this `Naga sorcerer`.”

My new cultists. Lightly converted from Wood Elf wildwood rangers. When I saw the models on the GW homepage in pinkish colours, with swirling patterns on their cloaks I knew I had to corrupt some :D

To de-elf them I rounded off the ends of their boots and gave all of them masks over the lower half of their faces.

As the little bit of fluff above suggests, whoever they really are, they have strong links to the Daemonettes of the Psychopomp warband and their armour will be painted like that of those daemons.med_gallery_63428_9407_971832.jpeg

The leader, perhaps tearfully holding the head of his slain beloved...or is he about to enact some form of ritual with her ichor?med_gallery_63428_9407_185394.jpeg

Lovely big flag. I look forward to painting this. My warband has too few flags at the moment.med_gallery_63428_9407_597451.jpeg

And some have GS jewelry (care of the Hellstrider kit). Where my Slaangor are heavily tattooed and pierced with chains and spikes, I wanted to keep these men and women clean (but for a couple with tentacles).med_gallery_63428_9407_86210.jpeg

Great looking stuff in here! So far I have managed to complete 3 of my 11 marines, taking a bit longer than I had planned for but should get them all done on time.

It been a while since I've seen sons of malice Chaos Marines.  There looking really cool.

 

Semper - Just say that me edit (well once this is posted) the Predator photos into my first/vow post for you.  Should be getting the plasticard extra armour built later today.

Three more vows to check off.

 

30131790823_645c58d6d0_z.jpg

 

The Betrayer, fresh from the slaughter of Angels in the Diamor system, primes Gorechild for the next offering. Blood for the Blood God.

 

30730497146_506cbec29e_z.jpg

 

The unnamed champion of change incarnate, his armor and wings a kaleidoscopic riot of colors, landed as soft as a feather upon the grit and bloodstained streets of the hive. In his hand, an absurdly, no impossibly massive blade, twice the height of the wielder, glowing with Daemonic runes and inscriptions hummed softly. It sounded almost like a content panther, about to devour its prey. The hunt is over.

 

30468064450_f975aefe73_z.jpg

 

The Gal Vorbak stood still, barring the occasional writhing... thing. They were the last of the first, the end of the greatest generation, and they stand waiting for the order to be delivered. Death to the false Emperor. Glory to the four.

 

I've been distracted with silver tower, my 30k word bearers and real life issues. But balls to the wall time. Time to get this :cuss done!

 

The knight conversion is coming along in earnest. It's a little different from what I was originally planning, but it should look interesting none the less.

 

The bikers and talons are assembled and primed. Only need to convert the bikers slightly to suit their patron's Mark.

 

The Helbrute as a few base coats down. Still not happy with his color scheme. Need to experiment more.

 

Only the rescue project, the 5 assault marines come raptors are untouched after stripping a great deal of paint layers away.

Thanksm, Atia! That Mara Ghal is looking perticularly daemonic and gnarly. I love your painting style. 

 

The first squad in my vow and is the second to be finished! More pics, of all the miniatures individually and from different angles, HERE in my WIP thread.

With them finished, I can now field a squad of ten dudes with a banner! Not that I ever will (I usually field them in sevens, aas my current Night Lords 1250 tournament army has a Nurgle Theme), but in my mind the Night Lords still cling to the decimal system in their unit composition. ;)
