Chaos Terminator Lord

I needed a proper  chaos lord model. This is my first time getting a chaos terminator lord and its a really good set! Lots of extra bits but still simple to put together. This will usually be my abaddon model but ill use it for a regular lord if need be. I also have other plans for this guy. I got my hands on about 20 terminators and ive always wanted to do an all terminator army. Draigowing? Deathwing? Logan wing? Or if the new chaos dex has it, chaos-wing?

1850 CSM list: Tough? You decide

Played in an 1850 tournament recently and got 3rd place ( i actually could have got best painted too but you cant win 2 prizes). I was very suprised at how great the daemons in the csm codex are. Ive had much practice with this list and ive played against all the armys that i thought would give me a hard time. IG in kill points games seem to really be the only thing thats hard for me to handle. In that situation i really need to go first, but overall this is a list where going first or second dosent really matter. Everything works well together in this list. No weak links. To up this to 2000 i would just add a noise marine squad with a blastmaster. Another fearless unit and another str 8 48" shot. Everything in my army is fearless (except the havocs but they have an icon). It covers every aspect that an army needs (long range, mid range, close range) so its really balanced. Im currently 4-1 with this list with the 1 being that KP game vs ig a rematch is def. needed.

i got  55$ in store credit so i picked up this guy. I saw him on the GW website and the first thing that came to mind was KHARN. So this is my kharn now i just got to paint him.

 and i picked up a chaos warriors set. Chosen is what i have in mind for these.
chaos Sanguior w.i.p





Oh and i was checking out the blood angels codex and i really want to try some lists out. Particularly a mephiston sanguinor combo. Im gonna make some models and conversions so i can play around with some stuff. I really just want a reason to make more conversions!

Chaos Army Update: First Rhino Done

 Its times like this where i wish i had an airbrush. It would cut the time in doing rhinos in half. I painted it the same way i did my regular marines, with an emphasis on blending the reds together. I want to make the yellow more solid but i just cant figure out how yet.

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!
