Melchor's ultraslow blog of Doom and Darkness

[Melchor]

Lemme try this again...

So here it is... My blog. What will I be blogging? My Slaanesh-themed Chaos army. And some Necromunda, and maybe I'll throw in some random models I just feel like painting for good measure.

First, the obligatory workspace pic:

Don't worry, it's cluttered up nicely since this pic was taken.

Currently, my main project is my Slaanesh Chaos marines. I've been wanting to do an army like that for a long time but I never got to because I was distracted (by my DA mostly). But they're mostly done sot with the release of the new CSM codex I started planning. Here's the scheme I came up with:



Of course it was inspired by someone else's scheme, but we'll forget about that for now.

The army as it stands now:





Not that much huh? But I've got another squad and a rhino on the way so I'll keep you posted about those.

I'm also working on some Delaque models for Necromunda. My club will be starting a campaign in April so they should be done by then...



Whish me luck!

First reply!

I love the purple and black, it works really well (especially in the first picture). The conversions are class and the colour scheme is wonderful. If I didn't have enough to paint then I would of stolen the idea for a squad or two

Have some luck!

About time you started this, the regular members of the WPSG see it, but few others.

Guilty as charged.

Now those are some nice marines. I have a thing for purple armies (owning two of them) so i must really try and paint another colour. This won't help!

Any big/slaaneshy conversions planned?

[Tatanka]

that are some really nice chaos marines you got there! clean paintjob on them!

[Keadaen]

wow, top notch is it the light source that makes them so lovely and shiny looking or is it the way you painted it. add more pictures as soon as you can.

[Melchor]

@Vasteye: I'm planning on doing a winged Daemon prince. I've got a WIP pic for you if you like:



Yes, he is supposed to be obese... Why you ask? Because Slaanesh is the god of excess, that's why! Not sure if I'm happy with how he looks though so I decided to do some other models first.
I'll also be building a pair of predators and a rhino. And when the army is tournament ready, I might add some fun stuff (Terminators, Defiler etc.). But getting it done before mid-October (Dutch GT) is my main priority.

@Keadaen: The glossy effect is part due to highlighting and part due to lightsource... Stupid answer I know.

[glenning]

Great looking stuff so far, the scheme on your Slaanesh marines looks very good. I love that lord!

[Vasteye]

That daemon is looking mighty fine. An interesting take on slaanesh; you're quite right, they could easily be fat rather then thin.

He should look great with paint on.

how did you get the metallic purple?

[KlutzyKultist of Kaoz]

I..........Worship............You.
Love...........Color...........Purple.

@Col. Wales: TBH, it's not metallic (I'm assuming you mean the armour and not the gold). It's just black/purple 50:50 as a basecoat and adding more purple each highlight and pink for the final highlight. Then I inked the whole lot with some (thinned down) purple ink.

[The Wildchild]

I love the deamon prince...the idea's brilliant!

Consider me subscribed!

[Fenriz]

Good grief, this army looks stunning so far!

Consider me well and truly subscribed sir!

[Melchor]

Thanks a lot guys! Always a good thing to hear people like your stuff.
I've got a little something to show you as well. Recently I started playing the Dark Heresy 40k rpg with a couple of friends and we decided to paint up models for our characters.

I play an Imperial Psyker by the name of Callidus Vern. Here's what I use to represent him on the tabletop:

Ooh, nice, for the DP, i think the head could be better if you rounded off the top a bit.

[Galatan]

Hey Melchor,

cool that you finished your psyker for DH, I'm hoping to finish my tech priest this weekend, don't expect too much though.
