Alpha Legion Chaos Lord Conversion

 

 Apart from the Helbrute, I havent painted any of the chaos stuff from the dark vengance set. So i decided to try to paint the chaos lord. I replaced the sword with something different because the one it came with looked funny to me. Im gonna use green stuff on the shoulder where i cut the sword hand off and fill it in with more fur. The sword was painted to look like it had souls trapped inside it hence the smokey effect. This is also the first time ive done chipping on power armour so i hope it came out ok. I really do like this model, and i may just change my list around for the BFS tournament to use it..

(Feedback appreciated)The Battle for Salvation tournament is coming up in a few weeks. Unfortunatley, its the same weekend the new codex comes out so ill be using the old one for the event. Ive Playtested a bunch of lists and this is what i came up with and while ive have had some sucsess with it, it still needs work:

Getting Inspiration to Paint

My goal is to one day win a Golden Daemon. Im always trying new ways to better my self as a painter. It really helps when you have people who are great painters at your club and can give you tips to take your models a step further.

Alpha Legion Rhino Weathering

 I wanted to give my rhinos a more dirty look to them so i tried some weathering techniques. At first i was painting in the chips in the armour, but ive learned that using a sponge to do weathering gives the best results.
