DK's Black Legion (still mostly grey)

[Beppo1234]

To be honest, your bases don't scream 'lazy' to me at all, with the grass, little rocks and pebbles. Of course you can improve upon them, but they a a really nice base quality (no pun intended). And I hear you about painting power armor.. I've got 3x plasma and 3x meltamarines standing on my desk since forever. They are almost the last troopers I have to do, but I can't bring myself to paint more basic dudes. Must.. have.. more.. energy.

haha, we all have this problem. For me, the secret to keeping up, is never to build anything that isn't on deck to be painted. But I often stall out on a mini when I get to painting the bolters, and backpacks.

DK- base your models before priming and painting, and paint the sand. You'll be surprised how it improves the outlook of a mini. Elmer's white glue is fine, but if you don't prime and paint the sand, it will slowly flake away as there is nothing over top of it to keep it in. Priming you bases, with your mini, seals in most of the texture from the sand. Painting it gives it the same quality look as your minis... it all fits together because it's all the same quality of colour. And it takes all of 30 seconds to dry brush the base with a couple of tones of colour. The new paint system really should lend itself to this process. Just choose you base colour style, get 2 or 3 tones that you can drybrush on, and your flying.

You know, I'd thought priming the sand would help it stick better. I'm halfway done with another ghoul/daemon, on the next on I'll have to try that.

for your stuff that's already based, you can just carefully pull off the static grass, lichen, or moss, and paint the sand with slightly watered down base coat, and that work too. But it's always better to do it with your prime imo. But either way works fine.

Wifey ordered me a box of both the new Plaguebearers and Nurglings. Can't open till my birthday in Oct., so unfair.

[Mega Nutz]

Buy another box when she's not looking!

Don't tempt me, lol. Do you know how hard it is to not spend all my savings for the CSM rework on the new Daemon stuff? Heck, I almost bought a herald of Khorne on jugger and The Masque yesterday on pure impulse, rationalizing that I need much more Daemons for allies anyway...no no no, CSM first, then Daemons, get it together DK!

being in a country with no GW branch, and only one independent retailer... 2 hours away on highspeed train, I've managed to avoid the impulse buy for a year. My bank account is fat now... but it dreads the day a move back home and am only a couple of kilometres from a GW.

This is probably really unfair, but having both new Nurgle kits I can say they are wonderful!

The Ghouls / Lesser Daemons are great though, nice simple use of count-as.

I really don't know what I'm gonna use them for if the new codex does get rid of lesser daemons. Maybe try and mount wings on them and count them as Furies. It has crossed my mind to sell them once finished, but I dunno, kinda grown attached to the little buggers. And yes it is unfair. The wife will have a hard time hiding them from me though, I can sniff out new kits like a bloodhound, lol.

A simple rebase and you've the start of a Ghoul fantasy army.... tch simples!!

[Mr Feral]

I think that would be the easiest way of keeping them useable, I think Chaos Furies are going to be around for a long time still (rumours of a plastic kit in that "leaked" release schedule if you want to believe that!)

Yes, I imagine adding on Gargoyle wings could be an idea?

A good call on the Gargoyle wings. I really liked the concept of 'generic' Lesser Daemons though, left a lot of room for interpretation. Eh, I'll figure something out when I paint the last two. I want to get back to power armor soon, might just start on my Raptors, but don't have much time atm.

Hey DK your stuff is shaping up very nicely.. How about treating your viewers to an army shot? I'd love to see all your Legionnairies together!

I'll try and get a good one soon. Haven't touched a mini in almost two weeks, gonna have to take a break from these online courses before my brain explodes, lol.

One more to go, then the last Oblit. Gonna have to force myself not to try and build the starter box till I finish painting the Oblit and building a Land Raider.
