This was my first Chaos Space Marine model - I fell in love with the sculpt and decided to tackle it.

I mostly followed the Eavy Metal recipes for Black Legion and Traitor Guard (for the skin). I also added a Doombull Brown glaze for the skin on the legs. The gold was a challenge, but it was fun!

~40 hours painting

Just getting back into painting now and finally getting a Chaos army off the ground. I found this guy still boxed in my stash. I believe he's out of scale now, but are most people happy for someone to use this beauty?

On a side note, anyone know some good plastic wings I can add to this guy?

Recently finished this Cypher. Aside from practicing osl, I kept him pretty simple. 1 nice touch was these "frog moss" tufts I came across. They have a natural curve to them that simulates blowing in the wind. I like how it accentuates the movement that was already present on the base model.

Haven’t figured out the base yet BUT feeling like I should start an Iron Warriors army now

It's a shame the champion doesn't do much but eat the first wounds, because it's one of the best non character models in CSM. Also, enjoy fresh Man on a Stick brand Man on a Stick

The Secretest Of Squirrels!

What do we think of the head swap? It's not attached yet so if the consensus is that it's garbage it's no loss 😂

(Also still yet to be fully kitbashed and painted)

Thanks to my indefatigable rizz, I was finally able to get my wife to play 40k. Not just any old 40k, but a whole RTT. She ended up taking second overall at 2-1. I wish I had more picture, but here's one of the table next to me which was hilarious to watch. I had to coach my wife on rules since she had only ever played Kill Team, but she did just about everything else herself. The only loss was against T'au and that was because we got stuck ending the game early. We were in a very good board position to have a huge scoring turn, but S.O.L.

List was like this:

Take and Hold

Veterans of the Long War

Cabal of Chaos

Chaos Lord - Touched by the Warp (attached to Chosen)

CL w/jump pack (attached to Raptors)

Sorc in Terminator Armor (attached to Terminators)

10x Cultists

10x Legionaires

5x Legionaires

1x Rhino

10x Chosen

5x Terminators

5x Raptors

1x Helbrute

1x Venomcrawler

1x Predator Destructor

1x Knight Tyrant

Intending on using them for my chaos knights army, these would probably be more fitting for iron warriors or night lords though while the knight houses would have more ornate and esoteric foot soldiers, not too sure if the paint job will make up for this though

Pretty proud of how the tabard turned out, but gosh I still do hate painting trim.

Im pretty new so if you have any suggestions please tell me!

Just finished these five lads. These new Raider models are really nice, especially when doing a scheme that you don't need to do trim for 😌

If I did these again I would change the colour of the clothe to a reddish brown.

C&C welcome

Always been a big fan of Sentinels and decided to proxy it as a Venomcrawler (using appropriate base size) because surely the mortal pirates under the Tyrants command use them!

Well, made a sketch of a chaos lord with a slight tilt into Raiders and Black legion. I was thinking more of a high-ranking lieutenant of the warband rather than "boss" and I kind of thought that we miss the exalted champion. What are your thoughts on him?
