Shovellovin Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) After a hiatus from posting my models, I thought I'd share some of my Black Legion that I completed recently. The Landraider Proteus was a model that I've wanted for a while. I know that landraiders aren't very strong in this edition but I field a lot of sub-optimal units (like Chaos Marines!) in the games that I play. I swapped out the stock tracks for the Oppressor pattern tracks from Blood & Skulls industries. I also added some chaos flavor from a Chaos rhino. More spikes, more evil. The plague marines from the Space Marines Heroes set are fantastic. I'm glad I splurged on them. Up next, I'll be working on a Helbrute (inspired by the model done by Bitter Old Painters), some more AoS Berzerkers and the 3 remaining plague marines from the heroes set.

battle captain corpus Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Very nice, those tracks are very cool looking! What weapons are you giving your Hellbrute? BCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovellovin Posted March 8, 2021 Author Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Fantastic work - worthy of the Warmaster's own. Thank you! Very nice, those tracks are very cool looking! What weapons are you giving your Hellbrute? BCC Thank you! I was thinking of running a dual power scourge helbrute but I’ll probably equip the model with a twin heavy bolter and power scourge. I just started hacking the leg s so I have time to figure out which weapons to run.

battle captain corpus Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 @Shovelovin: I think heavy bolters & scourge is great, especially since heavy bolters are great in this edition to! Scourge is sensible to, those extra attacks are always welcome! Nice posing so far! BCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovellovin Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 (edited) @battle captain corpus - Thank you! I think the leg extensions really make the Helbrute model more menacing than the short legged version. Now it's time to paint this monstrosity. edit - I thought I'd include my Havoc squad that I recently finished. I realized I hadn't posted them yet.

Kythnos Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Thank you, Kythnos. The mace comes in the Havoc box set. I see, thank you. Teaches me for buying already built Havocs second hand and not knowing the sprues. That mace would be perfect for my Iron Warriors. I need to source it now :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovellovin Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 I have finished the Helbrute and am really proud of how it turned out. I think the leg extension was a worthwhite modification that I would have never thought of had I not seen the Helbrute done on the Bitter Old Painters blog. I didn't glue in the heavy bolters, just used blue tack, in case I want to swap in dual lascannons. I tried to use greenstuff to mimic the exaggerated musculature of the model's legs. I'm a novice at using greenstuff but figure practice makes perfect. I haven't used a dreadnought in 9th edition, yet, but I think being able to move and shoot without penalty may really increase their utility. I've been playing a crusade campaign with some friends so since our games are small the addition of a dreadnought/helbrute to the mix should be interesting. Up next are three AoS style berzerkers. I currently have 5 so 3 more will up their ability to cause mischief.

battle captain corpus Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Like it a lot! I'm a big fan of Hellbrutes, normally there is 2 in my lists. Though I do have a third somewhere awaiting my attention to! Keep it up! BCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Wow! The leg extensions (and stellar paintjob) really look nice. I have a extra set of Helbrute legs in my bitz box. I will have to give my Helbrute Harry an upgrade at some point. My greenstuff skills are rudimentary, but they have improved a bit over the years.

Prot Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 That is a really effective conversion. I love it. I will add the plasma cannon Dread has become my favourite but all the builds are pretty usable now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovellovin Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share Posted November 15, 2021 (edited) I've finished a sorcerer in terminator for my Black Legion warband. I removed the Word Bearer icons from this Horus Heresy model to make it more Black Legion appropriate. Next up are some more cultists and Abaddon.

Shovellovin Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 Thank you very much! Slightly disappointed the praetor is a little smaller than I had hoped but you are absolutely an awesome person for doing that. The praetor may look smaller than he is because of the way he is posed, legs spread apart. I started working on some close combat Chaos marines. I made some small changes to the models to give them some character. I'll be painting up these models and Abaddon in the next two weeks. http://i.imgur.com/cHc3BjYl.jpg This guy is a bit of an homage to one of the Chosen from Dark Vengeance. After this, I'd like to put together a list comprised of a terminator based warband. I'm not worried about the list being competitive. I'll even have a landraider in the list to ferry some terminators. I recently finished a Night Lords warband comprised of mostly raptors. I had a lot of fun making a themed warband. I'd like to try that again with the Black Legion. tinpact, Prot, Dr_Ruminahui and 1 other 4 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Very nice looking chainsword Squad. Are they a kitbash of the CSM kit and a Horus Heresy of some kind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovellovin Posted December 3, 2021 Author Share Posted December 3, 2021 Very nice looking chainsword Squad. Are they a kitbash of the CSM kit and a Horus Heresy of some kind? Thank you, Tallarn Commander. Yes, the models have MK III bits sprinkled throughout. I also used SoH Reaver head, Dark Disicple head, and WB terminator praetor head. The lightning claws are from the Raptor set. Tallarn Commander 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tallarn Commander Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Nice. I will have to mix the Mark III kit and CSM kit (and possibly some AOS Slaves to Darkness Warriors) at some point. It looks like the Mark III kit comes with lots of nice bits, including plenty of chsinswords. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Raven 19 Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 How much work was it the rescale the MK III to the new scale, I'm tempted to do that for my DG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shovellovin Posted December 17, 2021 Author Share Posted December 17, 2021 How much work was it the rescale the MK III to the new scale, I'm tempted to do that for my DG? I didn't really rescale the MK III, I just chopped the torso and chopped the Chaos Marine legs so that they'd fit. A little milliput was used to join the two halves together. I am happy with how it turned out. I finished up the squad of close combat marines and also finished the Warmaster. This is the first time I've painted a character model that is as big as Abaddon and has so much detail. There is a lot going on with that model. I'm hoping that it sees some time on the table top after the holidays. Llagos_Tyrant, brother_b, Khornestar and 4 others 7 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Ruminahui Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 These look great - I think you've gotten exactly the right balance of green vs brass on the trim with these last few models... its really easy to go overboard on the green, which can make the model look a bit muddied.
