Draakur Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Good work on the altered scheme, it's in a better place now for sure. Much closer to the Fecund Ones scheme now, actually - considered going them at all? They're definitely who I'd go for if I was going to pick a canon Vectorium.

Biohazard Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Dusk raider, thanks bud Draakur, now you mention it yeah it is pretty much the Fecund ones scheme. That’s an easy switch :) Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Traitor Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 It isn't what I had in mind but looks very cool still :P. Defenitely better than the 40k standard DG scheme, with some more weathering it'll look awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filkarion Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I used to be proud of my conversions... now I feel really small Awesome skills, you are an inspiration! I am still in need of some Doom Sirens, so I will look forward to some bits seen in your great thread! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sagentus Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 really liking the dark armour colour scheme, certainly looks good and goes well with the trim and silvers. look forward to seeing how they look after rust and verdigres is added!

Augustus b'Raass Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 It looks a lot better now that you've added distinctive contrasting colours on the trim and the pipes. Solid scheme, I'd say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemSyn Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Its been a little while since I last visited your log Bio, and I've clearly missed a few things! I'm loving your Death Guard so far, the darker colour scheme suits the models really well. Will you be revisiting your Nurgle Daemons too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted January 20, 2018 Author Share Posted January 20, 2018 Apologies for the delay in replying folks, real life hasn’t been the kindest over the last couple months and may continue to hinder me over the next couple of weeks as well. Thank you for all the comments though. :tu: I’d started painting a few more Plague Marines a few weeks ago but there’s not a whole lot to show as they’re only at the basecoat stage. One thing I did want to show was this, as it also answers SystemSyns question :) http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/23219E75-DB49-40AD-8674-A95A7FFBD316.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/6B612537-333B-4982-B869-FADF3C7852E6.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/85E464E9-3FB7-4BFB-81A8-AA79C0904B4A.jpg I had the idea from the moment I saw this guy of him using the sword almost like a crutch/walking pole while he’s shuffling forward. I had ideas about using the one eyed face with the horns from this one as well but when I built him last night I decided this fitted better. Still have gaps to fill and the sword handle to straighten. I’ll probably bury the very tip of the sword into the base as well when I come to detail it. As for the rest of the army I still have a unit of 10 Plaguebearers and 3 Drones to build. Planning on painting them with washed mostly so it shouldn’t be to taxing. These will be used alongside my Khorne Daemons in a game in a few weeks against a friends Slaanesh and Tzeentch Daemon force. Should be interesting.

Nemac Vradon Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 I love the idea with the sword. I think it looks better this way :tu:. Are you planning on the standard GW scheme for these or are you going to do something a little different like with the plague marines? I know you mentioned painting them with washes but was curious what sort of colour they would be. Look forward to seeing more of these :) Nemac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 When I bought the big guy I ordered a tin of Army Painter Necrotic Flesh as well which actually looks to be fairly close to Nurgling Green so I think it’ll be along the lines of spray, wash with a mixture of colours and then a few highlights. Hopefully that will give you a better idea of the colours I have in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemSyn Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 That's a lot of Daemons! I like what you've done with the Great Unclean One's sword. Its looks more natural than having it raised up. Are you still planning to use the Maggoth as a Great Unclean One too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 Thanks bud. I’m thinking of using the Maggoth as a Giant spines beast or spawn. Or I might just build it stock for AoS. It’s tiny next to the GUO. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khornestar Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 This is the only time the point of a sword touching the ground has made any sense to me. I’m sure he’ll look suitably nasty when you’re done with him, Bio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hushrong Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 The Death Guard look great! Their new damonic friends are also going to be a treat to see when painted. I like the idea of the sword as an impromptu walking stick. You can just imagine him thrusting the sword in the ground before him, his legs pushing his gut aside to step firther, and dragging the rest of his mass forward.

Biohazard Posted February 20, 2018 Author Share Posted February 20, 2018 Thanks guys, I decided I actually wanted to finish off some units I started a long time ago before moving onto the new shiny things. On that note I finished converting up my Bringers of Despair, these are actually paint in progress just now but I haven’t gotten updated pics yet. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/B42B5F1B-73F9-4029-A398-5D5364ECC2E8.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/FDC43B60-DB8A-4843-BF28-43E5EFCE35AA.jpg That Combi melta has been replaced with a plasma as well. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/0176CF7B-A9A6-4A8B-965F-BAB382B440F3.jpg To show the Black Legion most likely keep the best loot for themselves I’ve updates the Combi flamers on this squad a little http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/BD0A93A3-A99D-4D1F-97AB-C4CDEAFC63D1.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/FB547EBA-FE3A-43BC-9CB7-932BE3261E51.jpg And who else could lead this motley crew? The Despoiler himself, I will add there is still a way to go with painting the brass especially. And it wasn’t until I started I noticed the mouldines on the skulls so they will be addressed as well. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/FEB2F9CE-6D33-4F15-8D27-C9E4F79097EB.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/AAE6FD4F-FEF2-46FD-A2B7-9DB005555D4F.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/54CB1761-34A6-4BAB-8F7E-0E641DBCF9B7.jpg The purple on the claw and sword is a lot more subtle irl as well. The artificial light lends it an almost neon quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemac Vradon Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 The terminators look awesome dude, which heads are those? I don't think I've seen them before. I really like what you have done with the combi and heavy weapons, the faces wrapped around the barrels on the heavies is especially cool. As for Abaddon - Brilliant! The head you have made has much more character then the original model and the re-positioning of the claws on the Talon of Horus looks great. I actually really like the bright purple on the Talon and on Drach'nyen so if it isn't that bright on the actual model, I would add an additional highlight. I think the glowing effect works really well, especially on the sword as it is a daemon weapon. Nemac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thanks buddy. The heads are from the Primaris range, I think they’re from the Hellbastards. I have a few Aggressor heads as well that will be used on another older project. More on that once the Bringers of Despair are done. Thanks for the comments on the claw/sword. I may see what I can do with that. I knew I didn’t want to go the same green as my WE so used the purple ink for a change, I think it works quite well against the black armour. I’ll hopefullt get his armour finished this evening. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SystemSyn Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Looking really good! The subtle conversions on the Terminators give them a lot of character. Are they going to be painted in full Black Legion colours? Or is there going to be some hints of Tzeentch in there too? As for Abaddon, I really like the bright purple too! You've done a great paint job on the claws and sword blade. I agree with Nemac, keep them bright! I'm not sure if it's just the photo but they look slightly shiny too, which is really suits them. They've got a proper Daemonic look. Looking forward to seeing how all this Terminatory goodness progresses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Now that is a proper Abaddon. He looks way better than the tiny old model. Would you please tell us which bits you used? It looks like mostly the TDA Lord, a Bloodletter sword and a ork top knot. How did you do the Talon of Horus? As the others said, leave the blades bright. Would you share your recipe for the blades, please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Thanks guys SystemSyn. They’ll be full Black Legion but the Icon will be removable so I can switch out their Mark. :tu: Quixus, you’ve nailed pretty much everything. The Talon of Horus was made using a Terminator Lord lightning claw. I trimmed down the back and added the bolters from a Helbrute fist. The claws themselves are actually from Huron Blackheart. I found they were the closest I could find to the original model. As for how I painted the claws, it was just as simple as my World Eater Weapons. Paint black, edge highlight white, then cover with the old school Citadel Purple Ink :tu: Here he is pretty much done. I think I’ll highlight the brass up a bit more and I think I’ll add another trophy to his left rack just to balance out his trophies. http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/3D9B4EDB-A9F3-4120-93EC-C87878DC2542.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/60A6CBC8-904B-4BD0-AA64-26EB87C79D8C.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/A85F3EC1-3492-4268-A331-A80C618332ED.jpg http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n235/Stovie_2006/Black%20Legion/412839D0-CCEF-414A-942A-EAB2215FFA5B.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I can't believe it is that easy. It should probably work with other inks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 Yeah like I say I’ve been using the old Dark Green ink on my Khorne models for a while now. It gives a nice glossy finish that I like. I also have the yellow ink there as well, not sure how that would work. Might look cool for plasma?
