Wow, those Imperial scum look awesome! They almost have a kind of Grey Knight/Custodes antiquity to them that's just rad.

The convoluted wording of legalisms grew up around the necessity to hide from ourselves the violence we intend toward each other. Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. You have done violence to him, consumed his energy. Elaborate euphemisms may conceal your intent to kill, but behind any use of power over another the ultimate assumption remains: "I feed on your energy."
-Frank Herbert
Everything looks wonderful and I especially like the added detail of all the marines. I was curious if you forgot to paint the fleur-de-lys on the arm of the sergeant or if you meant to remove it and forgot or what?

Wow they are really nice! What did you do to reposition the arm(as in where did you make the cuts etc) so it hold the bolter and the combat knife on the second marine?
Available for commission painting, PM me if you're interested.
And my attempt to finish off the BoM Set!

I have to say, the iconography is simply stunning, and coupled with the fact they are white and gold jus makes them scream class. Your whites are very smooth.
ok, the helmet brother gaster wears, how did you do this? you started with a corvus helmet or with a conventional one? Because my CSM army is GK-themed (yes, is a GK army which has turned to chaos) and helmets like those could be useful to my grand plans... :P

Seriously speaking though, the details are awesome and I'm in love with their bolters... wow, what else I can say. The only thing that puts me off, and this is really IMHO, are the bases: such a beatiful paintjob deserves an equally beautiful base: they are too plain, maybe adding some darker colour or some detail (high grass, some rocks) would fix it. I'm not saying that these marines aren't stunning, just that they can be almost perfect (absolute perfection being divine) with a little more effort put in them. I'm saying this because it's the same with my vostroyans, they seem ok as long as you don't look at the bases... by now you have to possibly change only a few bases (should you decide this way), I'll have to change at least 15... and drybrushing them again could get messy
BTW, these are, as ever, my €0.02.

Good night, Toschenko,
too much time,
that´s a good one. I´m heading right into my exams. The mind needs exhaust. That´s what I´m doin´. The minis give me a break from real life.
Right now I´m listening to Type O Negative and preparing the lib for the next pic.
The gold and some armour done, and the blue parts.
I`ll make a tutorial, promise.

Ok. Flags do play a role in my armies. So just for the interested folks: Here goes tha flags...
Cheers (goddammit), Bart

Just a word regarding Toschenko´s critics. That´s a serious demand, the bases have to have a touch-up. The problem is, to have a deserty base that´s representing the atmosphere´s that what it needs. I´m working on that.

Personally I think the bases are fine. I think they portray a landscape and are interesting enough, but do not detract fro the minis themselves. If I paint a crap mini I make the base better and vice versa
Love those flags by the way, amazing stuff.
The flag is back!
No threadromancy. I am back on my project. Had my exams, and that was hard work. No way to do anything on my collections for about two months. But now it is time to pick up the tools again and get some work done. I am planning on a busy weekend, so keep your eyes open for a first glimpse on my Landraider, progress on the librarian and a group-shot of what chaos I can gather so far.
Also I will be buying a handful of marines and a dread for the "shields". As soon as these arrive I will start a tutorial as promised before christmas.
Later tonight, Bart

Here is the landraider, as promised.
Flag-rack is not complete yet, and painting will be a pain in the ****, but I think it´s worth the effort.
What do you think?

Very, very, very, very nice. I normally don't dig marines, but.. Subscribed!
some groupshots
Nicely shows how far we get with that camera.
Abaddon and the boys
Oblit, the only one I have. Expensive beyond reason imo
I planned the army with the old codex. Actually wanted all high ranks be equipped with chaos hounds. Will still do that.
Anything you want to see in detail, tell me.
Cheers, Bart

Those Space Marines are amongst the finest I've ever seen. They are very evocative of the 40K feel, a lot more than the stock ones are.

Still waiting for new convertible marines to arrive.
In the meantime some more chaos. I do not only have marines, but also some renegates. They seem to be really popular these days. Since latd are gone I´ll play them as ig.
I do not have the money to buy a complete ig army and convert it. So I bought warzone minis. Very fine models. A bit of work and there we go.
And the first ocifer, err...sorry
some of the csm vets I am building
still a lot of work to do....
I changed the chaos marines colour from redish to a brown tone so that I can work out the bleeding theme better. I.E: ditches and scratches with blood pouring from them on a brown armour. I´ll post some next weekend.
Cheers

tripple the greatness! cannot decide which models I like best... better wait for more awesome stuff to be painted!
Inquisitor Konig: At Warhammer World they serve Bugman's Beer, but I don't think they brew it there...
Avatine Crusader: Well duh, they aren't actualy dwarfs.
My Nid Hunting Guard Army here
Hello again.
I´m back on this log with an update announced ages ago. After all I got the minis, I need to proceed with this project.
First I reworked the scheme on my CSM. It now is brownish, with heavy weathering and blood pouring randomly from gaps or holes. Rust will be applied with a technique I developedfor my traitors and some other stuff that distracted me lately.
the pics show what I mean
And here my purchases for the SM so many of you seemed to like.
It´s enough stuff to complete the troops choices I planned to build.
And this dude here will hopefully turn into a piece of Imperial greatness.
The concept is ready. Question is where to get a second stormcannon. Might be building it. Plan is a synced one. CC weapon will be halberd style. You´ll see...
Next update soon. Will show how I made the falcon helmets too. If anybody is still interested. Let me know.
Oh, and I will redo some of the gold on the marines. You might like it.
Later, Bart

Can't really see the new pics clearly,
The IG warzone minies are very nice.
And the flag is stunning.
Excellent work here. I especially like the loyalist marines; would love to see how you made them!
