Chaos Log (Deathguard, and other random chaos)

++UPDATE++

WIP of the last Land Raider.




This is after the 1st wash:




One more wash after this, let it dry and then the model should be finished.

[Saul Tarvitz]

Very nice the-skylord but having seen them in real life I can say they look even better than the pictures show, though I do have one criticism for you - remove your bloody mould lines properly boy!

[the-skylord]

Thanks for comments. What mold lines? I thought I had got them all.

Ok, the last Land Raider has been completed. Pictures will be up soon hopefully. Now the entire army is painted, around 2500pts worth all painted and based. That is a first for me!

So what next? Well here is my next project. It will be a joint project with Saul Tarvitz, he is doing Salamanders and i will be working on my Deathwing army.

However, i will always play chaos, as well as doing the Deathwing; I have plans for a World Eaters army that already has some models for it! Pictures at another point!

[Saul Tarvitz]

Well there's a couple on that Land Raider there and I've noticed a few on your Terminators. I must admit I never saw them on your actual models so I think they must be really small and being picked up by the camera.

I enjoyed my swim home from yours by the way, decided against cooking, just got changed and watched the rugby. Scotland beat the Aussies for the first time in 27 years! Woop woop.

++UPDATE++

First; a picture of the finished LR, the last model for my Death Guard.





How for more chaos! Some of you may know that I'm starting a Deathwing army, well the models have yet to arrive, but in there place a load of chaos parts have appeared:

And finally; the Lord and his retinue's ride:



This LR was bought from a fellow warseer. I like the paint job so it will be staying that way, there will be some Khorne symbols added to it though!

[the-skylord]

Now that Superglue has been bought, lectures finihed for the day; that pile of bits now transforms into:





Along with a better photo (I hope) of the Khorne Lord:

My old LR gets some love

Good job painting all those nurgle chaps, and good luck with the Khorne element.

Thanks for the comments Tonberry, here is your old LR with the only change I'm giving it:

[Saul Tarvitz]

Very nice, hopefully these new Khorne guys will go some way to alleviating your losing against Ali syndrome.

In all seriousness though its a new army to you and its good to see you sticking to it and expanding your options. Now pigmentise those Termis!

[Count de Monet]

Nice, especially the Death Guard guys! I like how their armor came out.

[the-skylord]

Hey, After a break with the DG I'm going to do even more of them. The plan is to get lots more plague marines and do an entire footslogging army. Hopefully do some raptors with the older, herersy styled jump packs.

If anyone has old DG models that they don't want drop me a PM!

[FLAKPANZER]

I really like the color you achieved with your death guard and plague vehicles.
How did you achieve that affect?

Which colors did you use under the magic dip?

[the-skylord]

Cheers mate!

Foundation of Gretchin green, drybrush with rotting flesh, mithril silver on the trims. Thats the armourFor the rotting parts, drybrush red gore (The very dark red colour) and drybrush the red very lightly with dwarf flesh.

After all the detail has done, devlin mud wash followed by gryonne sepia wash.

Hope that helps!

Quick update:

The projects not dead, just taking a backseat as I build my Deathwing army.

So far this is what I've managed to get my hands on for the foot-slogging Death Guard army.





Need to get them paint stripped and workout which squads they are going to form.

[eltanko]

Yeah, OOP death guard. Excellent

Cheers mate, hope I can do them justice. The idea is to have every model in the army a Death Guard marine that GW has produced. Also going to try and have some pre-heresy elements within thet army.

[the-skylord]

After lots of searching, people being helpful I have finally got a lot of OOP Death Guard models, around 35 now.

Been doing a lot of painting stripping to get all the models ready for repainting:



And here is my birthday present plus a few other things:



On a side note, I spent all evening washing the resin parts, next time I won't leave all of it to build up. (All so had to wash a lot Deathwing Terminator shoulder pads! Washing and stripping models is now, is my least favorate part of the hobby!)

[Saul Tarvitz]

Looking good. Stripping isn't as bad as washing, and washing's not as bad as removing the mould lines from Black Reach minis. Grr.

[Mega Nutz]

Looking forward to seeing this Nurgle contingent take shape!!
