1 Heldrake

5 raptors

6 chaos space marines

5 Havocs

6 Chosen

5 Bikers

5 Warp Talons

before December 15th 2017. If I do this successfully I will receive the Mark of Total Hedonism 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!

 

I should add the Raptors and Chaos Space Marines will actually be painted by some friends of mine, one getting back into it (raptors) and one who has never painted 40k before (chaos space marines). Please show them some support if needed (not that you guys don't, you're the best in the commubity with our crazy warping shenanigans).

 

Feeling stoked for thus guys. I've got my starting pics taken, I'll upload then later.

May the Dark Gods guide your brushes and Iron Within, Iron Wuthout!

I cant speak for the whole community, but i would not mind at all if your friends help you complete that list, always good to help people get back into the hobby. Maybe seperate your current list into what your painting and what they are painting though

*James Bond villain voice* Mr. Beachymike, we meet again... Now you will suffer! :P

 

Good luck with your minis and as regards the minis to be painted by your friends, well... I'd rather your friends join the B&C and join the Call and receive the rewards of the Dark Gods themselves! You know we welcome all skill levels. In any case the two units will not count towards your total (I'll make a relevant note in the participants' list).

 

Seriously, ask if they want to join, it'll be fun to enter the B&C community through the Call!

 

 

 

UPDATED TO THIS POINT!

Glad to see this event back - thanks Captain Semper - and excited to see the projects everyone's queuing up.

 

I Sgt. Blank answer the Call of Chaos and vow to complete two units: one unit of Khorne Berserkers and one Helbrute before December 15th 2017. If I do this successfully I will receive the Mark of Total Hedonism 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!

 

Here are the Berserkers, converted from AoS Blood Warriors. Backpacks will be added once the rest of the painting is done.

 

WJ2kGtW.jpg

 

Here's the Helbrute. I've had this model since it was released some time in the early 90s and I've been using it again now that it won't just explode if something heavier than a bolter is shot at it. It needs some final touches still but I'd like to see it painted.

@ IP: it is kind of strange to see you not doing IW! But those are fantastic! The highlight on the Nurgle Marine is subtle yet so striking! Also using blue as a complementary colour for the termies was a bold move and it sure paid off. Amazing models and amazing paint job! Always a pleasure to see your work IP!

Still Iron Warriors in the vow - 2 Predators, 2 Land Raider & Champion. Just not had the time to get them built right now, but hopeful have this Friday off & waiting for a replacement Land Raider after notice some holes on one of the side part of the model :(

Though notice you've not vowed that nice new Cypher model yet......

Another progress post quoted from my army log, what been happing while Bolter & Chainswords was down for the weekend

++Call of Chaos++

Second update for Call of Chaos.

​I'm currently really busy right now trying to get a Black Templar army fully painted for a friend for the same gaming event this weekend. So all goes to plan, that should be finish tomorrow. It just mean, beside the weekend & Wed. All my time & focuse has been on trying get them complete. But if all goes to plan & I get them finish, I'm planning on taken Friday off to try get some my own models built like the Predator & Land Raider.

​But here what we have so far

​Exsalted Champion - This is just a quick conversion as I'm needing a Champion with Power Sword who will temporarily be part of the Iron Warrior squad I built last month for Throne of Skulls. I had a few points left, but not enough for the Power Fist Champion for this squad.

In the future the Power Sword Champion should have his own squad or maybe become part of my Shadow War kill team force.

I'm using a base I done a while back. So the plastic 25mm base will get remove & all that stuff will be rebase on a brand new 32mm base. Like I done two year ago when I ended up choseing to rebase my whole Iron Warriors force onto 32mm base as they just look cooler.

med_gallery_13342_13449_131626.jpg

med_gallery_13342_13449_126605.jpg

Nurgle Terminators

gallery_13342_13449_12284.jpg

Nurgle Character - I was hoping to spend some time during last week getting him painted. But as said I've been really focuse on getting the Black Templar force for a friend painted first. Once that done I should have a bit more free time.

med_gallery_13342_13449_73543.jpg

med_gallery_13342_13449_12695.jpg

Plague Marine - Same as the Character. Painted a little bit during the week but I'm focuses on complete this Black Templar force.

gallery_13342_13449_126924.jpg

Then got this lot during the weekend. I was only going to pick one or the other character, but they both look really cool & just ended up buying both.

med_gallery_13342_13449_145343.jpg

Predator - One of the models I'm going to start building on Friday.

gallery_13342_13449_14670.jpg

Land Raider - Aim build on Friday

gallery_13342_13449_59516.jpg

Nurgle tank - Really nice model to build. I'm really like the whole new Nurgle range, want to try get that least one of everything that been release for it.

gallery_13342_13449_93283.jpg

​So from the my Call of Chaos list, here how everything doing

Orange - Bought

White - Still get

  1. Iron Warrior Predator​ - As seen there, still on sprue. Aim to get the model built on Friday. All the plasticard armour done. Aim this one to be a Autocannon set up & heavy bolter side.
  2. Iron Warrior Predator - Still to buy, aim for this one to be a Hellforge Predator. But unsure what I'm going to arm it with.
  3. Iron Warrior Land Raider​ - As seen, still on sprue. Aim built on Friday.
  4. Iron Warrior Land Raider - I said in last updated. After spray the model, I notice there was three hole. This has recently been dealt with & I should be getting a Land Raider arrive this week to replace it.
  5. Iron Warrior Exalted Champion​ - Seen above with the Power Sword.
  6. Plague Terminator​ - There pretty much there. Just as said I'm not keen on the Fly Terminator. So in a few week time I'm going check a few bitz site & try get part convert another Terminator to replace him or talk to few friends.
  7. Plagueburst Crawler​ - That pretty much ready to go. So might get the model undercoated tomorrow along side the IW w/Melta & Power Sword champion & Terminator I need for the weekend.
  8. Tallyman​ - Got, going to get him base ether tomorrow or most like Friday.
  9. Plague Surgeon​ - Got, need base
  10. Drone - Should be getting a week from Saturday
  11. Foul Blightspawn​ - Currently been painted
  12. Unit of Plague Marines​ - Currently been painted, need to add Champion & Icon bearer
  13. Unit of Plague Maruies - A box has been order & should get them this week.
  14. Putrifier - Should be getting a week on Saturday.

So one of the rare time where I've pretty much got everything that the start of Call of Chaos. Once everything built, painting not a issue for me.

First update.

 

After 5 years away from the hobby due to University, I have decided to return. The stars seemed to have aligned with 8th edition, the Death Guard codex, and the completion of my degree coinciding. Perhaps some influence from the changer of ways..

 

I have pledged to complete the following for the 10th call of chaos:

 

1 Daemon Prince

1 Helbrute

7 Plague Marines

Typhus

1 Rhino

7 Blightlords

3 Deathshroud

 

Only when I was typing that I accidentally put 1 helbrute instead of 2. I still plan on painting both as I am participating in a 1500 pt tournament in 3 weeks where I will need the Daemon Prince, both helbrutes and the 7 plague marines painted, in addition to rebasing and adding a few other details to the other models which I have already painted (Back when I started Death Guard in around 2011, I had about 1500 points already painted)

 

I have a huge amount of death guard to paint at the moment, in addition to the above I have 2 sets of dark imperium, 2 more squads of plague marines and mortarion sitting unassembled. I will try and keep you updated once a fortnight. 

 

Onto the units I have pledged for the call:

 

IMoBgYz.jpg

Unassembled goodies for later

liOt0Th.jpg

Plague marines and rhino. The rhino has forge world doors. The 6 of the plague marines are from dark imperium, 2 of which have arm swaps to give them different weapons, the 7th is a plague brethren also with arm swaps.

Bp9jEYu.jpg

2 Helbrutes, one is an OOP forge world dreadnought, the other is a slightly converted dark vengeance helbrute.

2Rl9jrw.jpg

XrqSqGl.jpg

KpOhsmy.jpg

XOANOkN.jpg

9mnNFi7.jpg

Last but not least is my Daemon prince. It's been heavily converted from the plastic kit with a defiler face plate, some plasticard and a lot of green stuff.

On another note, what is the fastest/best way to upload images/posts? It took me ~45 minutes to do this post and I would like to be able to do it quicker.

I needed an excuse to get some more Night Lords on the table. 

 

I OnboardG1 answer the Call of Chaos and vow to complete

 

5 Atrementar Terminators

1 Hell Blade (which has been on my shelf for at least five years and deserves a paint job). 

 

before December 15th 2017. If I do this successfully I will receive the Mark of Total Hedonism 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!

Progress has been made. 

 

Everything is shaded. Everything has the mud painted on the bases. Nothing exciting to look at, sure, but that's a long process to get done. 

 

But the Rhinos? They're just about finished.

A40OkBFl.jpg?1

 

And the Cataphractii? Ah, they look so good. Being the Elite of the Elite, I felt some gold accents were entirely necessary. Tried doing the power effect as a wash/glaze instead of just a flat orange. I think I like it better. May have to go back and repeat the process on older models.

Of course, I still need to do some touch-ups, add decals, and include basing shrubbery... but that'll all happen in one big batch once painting is done. But hey, look at them shiny Lernaeans!

I've also started on Mortarion. I got this as a birthday gift, quite unexpected, and am currently working on it for a painting course. Can I add this to my pledge Captain?!

Spent most of today relaxing, but as I haven't got anything better to do, I decided to sort out my units. However I noticed I have a lot of characters and decided it wouldn't feel right if I did ALL characters for mine... so once I sort out which ones I'm vowing I miht try to at least make the unit ratio 1:1 Big detailed units to small characters.

 

The only problem so far is deciding if I'm going to bet using Ahriman on a disk or a custom DP/GD conversion made from the Everqueen's model for Unit #6. Which I am leaning somewhat towards because the beetle is also being entered as a conversion into a Maulerfiend. It just means my Thousand Sons would be likely to be unrepresented at all unless I took out a Word Bearer.... which I could. Hmm.

Welcome to the 10th Call Res, and with 14 units no less! Good luck with them and don't forget to edit here the "before" pics of the other units when you get them! ;)

 

 

I Cryptix answer the Call of Chaos and vow to complete 5 units (7 Plague Marines, 20 Poxwalkers, Lord of Contagion, Malignant Plaguecaster, Noxious Blightbringer) before December 15th 2017.

Well Cryptix, I have put you down as Swarmlord Unleashed. Although I'm sure Tzeentch (and maybe Slaanesh) appreciates the duality of your personality I have to go by your official Display Name! :P I see the Poxwalkers retain their appeal - good luck sir!

The sprue of the Dark Imperium seem intimidating! :unsure: But that huge... eyeball(?) in the belly of the Helbrute? Genius! Btw your sculpting work is amazing man! Keep going!

 

Glad to see this event back - thanks Captain Semper - and excited to see the projects everyone's queuing up.

Ahh, Sgt Blank is joining the fray! At long last! :D Well this is nostalgia all the way. And a great idea to use the AoS Blood Warriors - Can't wait to see this done! Good luck man

 

Thanks Captain, after almost completing mortarion, time to move on with these.

 

 

 

 

PS : Some help from the community would be nice, so here goes. I'm struggling to decide on how to do the bases while making the models pop. Most of them are done to the same standard as Mortarion, so some suggestions are welcome!

 

That's high quality work! As regards basing, given the amazing work on the minis, I'd go for something neutral - like mud of grey concrete... Avoid Martian Orange and other bright colours... I guess GW basing paints would go a long way to do something effective and fast that will not distract from the minis. My 2c.

 

Started in on Helbrute numero uno over the weekend.

Great work with the purple - and a good idea to base coat white. Personally I always go black come what may, but I may need to revise my dogma. 

 

Allllllright. Just received a couple of deliveries of new kit, so now is the perfect time!

 

I, Halandaar, answer the Call of Chaos and vow to complete the below listed units before December 15th 2017. If I do this successfully I will receive the Mark of Total Hedonism 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!

  • Typhus, Herald of the Plague God
  • 3 Deathshroud Terminators
  • 12 Poxwalkers
  • 1 Herald of Nurgle
  • 10 Plaguebearers
  • 3 Plague Drones 
  • 3 Nurgling Swarms

 

(I'm leaving out the ETB Plague Marines as 3 isn't game-legal, and I've already started on the squad they'll be joining.)

 

Good to see you joining Halaandar - all those boxes look yummy! Good luck!

 

 

 

@ IP: it is kind of strange to see you not doing IW! But those are fantastic! The highlight on the Nurgle Marine is subtle yet so striking! Also using blue as a complementary colour for the termies was a bold move and it sure paid off. Amazing models and amazing paint job! Always a pleasure to see your work IP!

 

 

 

Still Iron Warriors in the vow - 2 Predators, 2 Land Raider & Champion.  Just not had the time to get them built right now, but hopeful have this Friday off & waiting for a replacement Land Raider after notice some holes on one of the side part of the model :sad.:

 

Though notice you've not vowed that nice new Cypher model yet......

 

Another progress post quoted from my army log, what been happing while Bolter & Chainswords was down for the weekend

 

++Call of Chaos++

 

Second update for Call of Chaos.

 

​I'm currently really busy right now trying to get a Black Templar army fully painted for a friend for the same gaming event this weekend.  So all goes to plan, that should be finish tomorrow.  It just mean, beside the weekend & Wed.  All my time & focuse has been on trying get them complete.  But if all goes to plan & I get them finish, I'm planning on taken Friday off to try get some my own models built like the Predator & Land Raider.

​But here what we have so far

​Exsalted Champion - This is just a quick conversion as I'm needing a Champion with Power Sword who will temporarily be part of the Iron Warrior squad I built last month for Throne of Skulls.  I had a few points left, but not enough for the Power Fist Champion for this squad. 

 

In the future the Power Sword Champion should have his own squad or maybe become part of my Shadow War kill team force. 

 

I'm using a base I done a while back.  So the plastic 25mm base will get remove & all that stuff will be rebase on a brand new 32mm base.  Like I done two year ago when I ended up choseing to rebase my whole Iron Warriors force onto 32mm base as they just look cooler.

 

 

 

 

 

Nurgle Terminators

 

 

 

Nurgle Character - I was hoping to spend some time during last week getting him painted.  But as said I've been really focuse on getting the Black Templar force for a friend painted first.  Once that done I should have a bit more free time.

 

 

 

 

 

Plague Marine - Same as the Character.  Painted a little bit during the week but I'm focuses on complete this Black Templar force.

 

 

 

Then got this lot during the weekend.  I was only going to pick one or the other character, but they both look really cool & just ended up buying both.

 

 

 

Predator - One of the models I'm going to start building on Friday.

 

 

 

Land Raider - Aim build on Friday

 

 

 

Nurgle tank - Really nice model to build.  I'm really like the whole new Nurgle range, want to try get that least one of everything that been release for it.

 

 

​So from the my Call of Chaos list, here how everything doing

 

Orange - Bought

White - Still get

  1. Iron Warrior Predator​ - As seen there, still on sprue.  Aim to get the model built on Friday.  All the plasticard armour done.  Aim this one to be a Autocannon set up & heavy bolter side.
  2. Iron Warrior Predator - Still to buy, aim for this one to be a Hellforge Predator.  But unsure what I'm going to arm it with.
  3. Iron Warrior Land Raider​ - As seen, still on sprue.  Aim built on Friday.
  4. Iron Warrior Land Raider - I said in last updated.  After spray the model, I notice there was three hole.  This has recently been dealt with & I should be getting a Land Raider arrive this week to replace it.
  5. Iron Warrior Exalted Champion​ - Seen above with the Power Sword.
  6. Plague Terminator​ - There pretty much there.  Just as said I'm not keen on the Fly Terminator.  So in a few week time I'm going check a few bitz site & try get part convert another Terminator to replace him or talk to few friends.
  7. Plagueburst Crawler​ - That pretty much ready to go.  So might get the model undercoated tomorrow along side the IW w/Melta & Power Sword champion & Terminator I need for the weekend.
  8. Tallyman​ - Got, going to get him base ether tomorrow or most like Friday.
  9. Plague Surgeon​ - Got, need base
  10. Drone - Should be getting a week from Saturday
  11. Foul Blightspawn​ - Currently been painted
  12. Unit of Plague Marines​ - Currently been painted, need to add Champion & Icon bearer
  13. Unit of Plague Maruies - A box has been order & should get them this week.
  14. Putrifier - Should be getting a week on Saturday.

So one of the rare time where I've pretty much got everything that the start of Call of Chaos.  Once everything built, painting not a issue for me.

 

 

Are you sure none of the above are finished? Like the Termies? They look more finished than any of my "finished" work. And as regards the Cypher, I may still vow him. ;)

 

Morty is finished =)

 

 

 

Mortarion the Reaper

The Death Lord, Angel of Nurgle, Daemonprimarch of the Death Guard

 

"Pain is an illusion of the senses, fear an illusion of the mind, beyond these only death waits as silent judge o'er all."

 

 

 

 

Next on the painting table are the Nurglings :biggrin.:

 

 

 

BREATHTAKING WORK! Congratulations Atia, it's always pleasure to look at your stuff - and your versatility, moving from one theme to the next, it's just inspiring! Good to have you on board! Now I know Mortarion was not actually vowed - so I'm looking forward for the rest o the stuff. Love those wings...

 

 I, FirstSonOfHorus answer the Call of Chaos and vow to complete;

 

  • 10 Rubricae
  • 5 Scarab Occult Terminators
  • Ahriman
  • 3 Flamers

If I do this successfully I will receive the Mark of Total Hedonism 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!

 

Will upload before pics when they arrive (hopefully) tomorrow.

 

Yessss, more Tzeentch stuff! Good luck FirstSonofHorus - just don't forget to edit in the before pics in your original vow, since that's the post linked in the participant's list. 

 

First update.

 

After 5 years away from the hobby due to University, I have decided to return. The stars seemed to have aligned with 8th edition, the Death Guard codex, and the completion of my degree coinciding. Perhaps some influence from the changer of ways..

 

I have pledged to complete the following for the 10th call of chaos:

 

1 Daemon Prince

1 Helbrute

7 Plague Marines

Typhus

1 Rhino

7 Blightlords

3 Deathshroud

 

Only when I was typing that I accidentally put 1 helbrute instead of 2. I still plan on painting both as I am participating in a 1500 pt tournament in 3 weeks where I will need the Daemon Prince, both helbrutes and the 7 plague marines painted, in addition to rebasing and adding a few other details to the other models which I have already painted (Back when I started Death Guard in around 2011, I had about 1500 points already painted)

 

I have a huge amount of death guard to paint at the moment, in addition to the above I have 2 sets of dark imperium, 2 more squads of plague marines and mortarion sitting unassembled. I will try and keep you updated once a fortnight. 

 

 

On another note, what is the fastest/best way to upload images/posts? It took me ~45 minutes to do this post and I would like to be able to do it quicker.

 

Well, five years is a long time... Congratulations on completing your degree and congratulations for finding the drive to return to the hobby after such a long hiatus!

 

As regards posting pics, I guess the best way to do it is to make a gallery here in the B&C and upload the pics there straight from your computer. Then use their image address to edit them in your post by using the "image" button at the top of your editor (the blue-ish rectangle button). Alternatively, if you have uploaded them in photobucket or equivalent (maybe Fb - not sure), you can copy/paste the image address from there straight to here again using the "image" button. If you want to discuss more shoot me a PM. 

 

I needed an excuse to get some more Night Lords on the table. 

 

I OnboardG1 answer the Call of Chaos and vow to complete

 

5 Atrementar Terminators

1 Hell Blade (which has been on my shelf for at least five years and deserves a paint job). 

 

before December 15th 2017. If I do this successfully I will receive the Mark of Total Hedonism 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!

 

 

I'll post some pictures of the boxes once I er... find them.

 

And some Night Lords at last! I recall the time that everyone was going after the NLs but now you're the only one in the Call so far... Go for it man! Just edit the "before" pics in your original vow post when you get them. 

 

Progress has been made. 

 

Everything is shaded. Everything has the mud painted on the bases. Nothing exciting to look at, sure, but that's a long process to get done. 

 

But the Rhinos? They're just about finished.

 

And the Cataphractii? Ah, they look so good. Being the Elite of the Elite, I felt some gold accents were entirely necessary. Tried doing the power effect as a wash/glaze instead of just a flat orange. I think I like it better. May have to go back and repeat the process on older models.

 

Of course, I still need to do some touch-ups, add decals, and include basing shrubbery... but that'll all happen in one big batch once painting is done. But hey, look at them shiny Lernaeans!

 

Great, GREAT, work! I'm not entirely sure from the wording above though... Are you declaring the Rhinos complete? Please clarify so, if that's the case, I can record it in the participants list. Those termies look fantastic!

 

Managed to get some highlighting done on 5 of the Bez squad. Next is to highlight the silver and gold, then finish the skulls (nearly there) 

 

 

 

I also tore apart the wings of my heldrake and gave them a detol bath, managed to get most of the pain of with a scoure (didnt have a spare tooth brush lol

 

 

Amazing shade of red... I just feel sorry for the poor Heldrake! Very nice and crisp work - keep it up!

 

Here's a Deathshroud with the start of the white armour going on!

 

I've also started on Mortarion. I got this as a birthday gift, quite unexpected, and am currently working on it for a painting course. Can I add this to my pledge Captain?!

 

Great start there... So you're going for white rather than the sickly green? Good choice. Brave choice may I add! And Mortarion? What Mortarion? :whistling:

 

Spent most of today relaxing, but as I haven't got anything better to do, I decided to sort out my units. However I noticed I have a lot of characters and decided it wouldn't feel right if I did ALL characters for mine... so once I sort out which ones I'm vowing I miht try to at least make the unit ratio 1:1 Big detailed units to small characters.

 

The only problem so far is deciding if I'm going to bet using Ahriman on a disk or a custom DP/GD conversion made from the Everqueen's model for Unit #6. Which I am leaning somewhat towards because the beetle is also being entered as a conversion into a Maulerfiend. It just means my Thousand Sons would be likely to be unrepresented at all unless I took out a Word Bearer.... which I could. Hmm. 

 

Soooo convoluted! :D I say go for the custom conversion of the Everqueen... It's irony of it!

 

 

GENERAL NOTE: If you have yet to take your "before" pics, when you do, please edit them in your original vow post, so anyone could see them my clicking your name in the participants list.

 

 

I also had to remove the images from the quotes because they were too many for the post to go through...

 

Keep the good work going and for those who lurk: Come and join! 

 

 

 

UPDATED TO THAT POINT!
