Some odds and sods, first up, the baddies from Dark Vengeance
Cultists, as with the whole lot currently the bases just painted black for neatness, not yet decided how to base them, thinking and ash waste grey texture.
Few more cultists, went with a red/purple scheme as I like red and it fits with the marines who we will come to shortly, the purple also fits in with the daemons who we will see later, plus I like purple and haven't really used it on anything as yet.
Pretty generic rent a mob really, base colours, sepia wash then a bit of a highlight and done.
Chosen of Chaos, the bling the army is going for starts to become obvious, red/gold and white as a scheme here. The red being Tamiya clear red over the airbrushed gold, seems to work ok in small areas applied by brush
As as yet unnamed chaos lord, more bling, and showing the green I'm using for plasma with these guys, leaving skulls that are part of the armour in gold to look like they are actually part of it and not just a random skull thats got stuck.
character model, intending to use this dude as a Dark Apostle, again nice and glossy, shows the metallic red to nice effect.
Briefly away from Dark Vengeance to show the first chaos space marine unit, 13 of them, loaded for close up work, the slightly more simple armour shows the red (three layers of it!) nicely and also the model air gold, applied over a mix of gold and burnt umber brown, highlighted with a bit of aluminium added to the mix.
We don't do walking, the red shows off its glossy nature here, also brushed on, which on reflection was a mistake and future vehicles will be painted in sections before assembly is completed to allow the red to go on via the airbrush.
Back with Dark Vengeance for the hell brute model, combination of the armour colours and a rich purple, made via the hexes purple cut with white, highlighted with more white added then a final white dry brush then the VMC violet ink over the lot at a glaze. Again shows the glossy effect of the red nicely.
Chaos spawn, utterly nuts model but great fun to make, first of two, totally the purple with the eyes in black, very simple but it works.
Not a bad start really, pretty simple to paint.
Obviously unfinished, they need a gloss varnish to allow a dark brown oil wash then something to kill the shine, plus a bit of dusty weathering on the legs. Not planning any markings though.
