My First Attempt at Non Metalllic Metal

Another small update. I decided to try some NMM. Some feedback on it and tips would be appreciated. Personally i think its a good start.When done right NMM can really make a model pop and thats what id like to achieve!

Chaos Army Update: Obliterate! + FAQ

 Heres my finished scratch built Oblits. Built them a long time ago but im now finishing them up. Its crazy what you can do with a whole bunch of extra guns! Also, their on my new bases i made from cork. Looking at them now, i think im gonna highlight the weapons with mithril silver to make them pop more.

Another low blow to chaos with this new FAQ. Im very dissappointed in GW. Its not like chaos was overpowered or anything, why make some of their best powers worse? Hitting on a 2+ with Lash isnt bad but the fact that we need to roll to hit at all is not fair. All the psycic hoods every one gets and now we have to worry about that, hitting, and not failling the psycic test.
As for warptime, come on. Now we HAVE to re roll all hits and wounds or not all? Why? It defeats the purpose of chaos having psycic powers if every other army is better than them at it.
Seriously.

Im not gonna let this affect me though! Im a chaos player blood in blood out and i will keep playing them no matter what.

Lets just hope for a good quality codex soon...

Chaos Army Update: W.I.P Daemon Prince #1

Just a small update. I took a break from painting my squads to do one of my two Daemon Princes that are gonna be in the army. I dont know if you can tell, but this was one of my first attempts at making an Angron model. I used guitar wire to represent the cables in his head. The old deamon princes look better in my opinion. The plastic ones look like they came from a cartoon. No base yet because im planning to either get a resin base, or make my own using cork or something, I dont know yet.

Chaos Army Update: Second Squad Done (repost)

Second squad is pretty much done, i just have to add some details here and there but im finished for the most part. Im gonna have some chaos writing on the "un"purity seals and im gonna do a little freehanding on the shoulder pads These are not the bases theyre going to have. Im getting some resin bases for them. If anyone has some bases( 20-30 would be nice) they would like to sell for a reasonable price i would be interested in buying some!

This guy im not so sure about. I might just paint the blue parts to match the rib cage / spine thing.

1850 Competitive Spawn List

D. Prince - 155

Lash

wings

D. Prince - 155

mark of slaanesh

Lash

(5) plague marines - 170

2 meltas

Rhino

(5) plague marines - 170

2 meltas

Rhino

(30) spawn - 1200

ten squads of three

total- 1850

It could work, right? The Spawn are the biggest distraction and the two rhinos can try and capture objectives if needed, and the D.Prince is there to lash things towards the spawn. Now thinking about it i could take out some spawn for some anti tank or more troops but this is the list for now.

Chaos Army Update: First Squad Done

Well, almost. Theres still some details i gotta pick out but this is pretty much how theyre gonna look. This is my slaanesh themed squad. Its missing the fith guy because i still have somethings to work on. I also have to do the swords but i really dont know how i want them to look. Any ideas? ** some pictures are blurry**

Question: Necron Entropic strike rule

How does it work?

A) Do you hit, roll for entropic strike and then roll for penetrate or glance?

OR

B) Do you hit and then roll for pen and it just stops there.

Its something thats been bugging me for a while and i would like to hear other peoples opinions

My New Way of Painting Red

BeforeAfter

I asked black matt what colors he thought would be best for making red pop. The colors we came up with were red gore, blood red,and blazing orange. It turns out i didnt really need the red gore because the base color was mechrite red with a heavy badab black wash, which was essentialy the same. I also picked up some baal red wash hoping to help blend in all the various reds. This is how i did it. After the mechrite red with the baal red wash,(or just use red gore) i painted all the areas where i thought light would hit with a watered down blood red. Then i did the edges where the blood red was with blazing orange. After that i used the baal red wash to make the colors look more "together" and after it dried i did finer higlights of blood red and the blazing orange, repeating the first two steps basically.

Using all these different reds really adds depth to the model.
