I got inspired and painted something tonight. I think it turned out pretty good. The high-res close-up pics really show off my slack-tastic brush strokes, and make the model look kinda bad. But it looks phenomenal in person.

Basically i took some spare parts i had in a bitz box and threw then together with the extra heads and arms from my TSons boxes and got to painting.

All in all this took me about 5 hours, and all the colors were mixed and applied in one go. He was meant to be the official paint scheme test, but he turned out pretty awesome. He'll probably join the ranks somewhere.












There she be...One Emperor's Children Chaos Space Marine. Instead of using a red wash I used purple to give him a slightly darker, but admittedly, slightly more fruity look. I also forgot to detail the skulls :(

not bad man, not bad at all! I like the black to break up that ***** pink LOL There's a couple of things that you should look at and that is the mould lines and the highlights on the black. The mould lines are pretty prevalent on the gun, chain sword and horns of the figure. Watch out for those next time since they take the quality of the model down a few notches. The grey highlights on the black are a little thick, but like you said it's probably the camera. One thing I'd add is a purple line where the black and pink meet up on the shoulder pads to create a demarcation line and show where the pink stops and the black begins. Other than that well done man! I like the looks of him!

what about your tsons? :O
This was actually inspired because I'm not using terminator lords for my chaos army anymore, yet i have 2 of them. So i decided to change them into termie champions. I always though the whole pink.blsack scheme would look awesome on the limited edition terminator lord. As such, he's now been converted into a dual lightning claw terminator.

I also have plans for a really awesome MP3 playing land raider. But it'll be a little more discrete than the whole "giant speaker on the top of a land raider" thing.

I was gonna pick it up today, but I just paid rent, so I don't think i have enough money left in my account to get everything I want. Besides the fact I can't be arsed to leaves the house.
