My Army/Project Log – Chaos Space Marines
So I’ve decided to start this fantastic hobby again. I first got into it in sixth (2000-2001) grade when a friend of mine talked to me about it, I specifically remember him hyping the Dreadnought to oblivion. It got me totally pumped so I begged my mom to drive me to the local GW, and I bought one of those starting sets and starting paint sets. Unfortunately a sixth grader shouldn’t get involved in this hobby; it will rob you of all your allowance! So I ended up quitting the hobby in like 2003.
So now with a larger monthly allowance I decided to start getting into it again. I know there’s a little gaming community and my town and I’m gonna look into joining them. But first I want to get an army painted fully and based and all that. Even if my army crashes and burns facing opponents, It’s gonna look damn good while doing it at least.
So here’s my army/project log. I’ve chosen Chaos Space Marines. When I started out playing I played Space Marines, and then switched to Tyranids. I enjoyed both armies a lot (Tyranids slightly favored) and their different play styles. Chaos Space Marines feels like a good option, as it seems they have a good mixture of play style/aesthetics of those aforementioned armies. I’m starting out with a flat out Black Legion army. I love the dark, ancient look of the scheme and the shame the army bears on its shoulders.
I plan on making installments of 250 points to my army as I start out. Right now I’m looking at assembling and painting my 500 point army consisting of:
Cultists

Really enjoyed painting these cannon fodder models... which I guess is a good thing cause I've got about 20 more to be painted!
Terminators

These are fun models to paint aswell. I do feel if I were to put in an extra hour or so on each model to fit in some more highlights they would look better however. Still have one more to paint as well as my Lord in Terminator armor.

This model was an experiment following this magnificent guide (credit given where credit is due):

I think it turned out pretty well, but my hand is still a bit shaky and my knowledge of painting isn't that great.
So Currently I’m painting another set of 5 cultists. After those are complete I’m going to give my Lord a shot. After he’s complete I got 15 more cultists to go. I’m gonna put in an order tonight for a Maulerfiend and some additional paints, as well as some basing material. I’ll try to get some photos of the Cultists up and keep this plog alive!
Of course, any comments and suggestions/constructive critique is always warmly welcomed!

- Terminator Lord with a retinue of Terminators
- 2 squads of cultists, resulting in 1 squad of 10 and another of 15, so 25 models in total
- A Maulerfiend
