Blog Entries: 1  |  My Black Legion works-in-progress Hey guys, I'm gonna post a few pics here so I can get your opinions on them. Keep in mind none are painted yet (Yeah, I'm being stupid by not painting as I go) and I don't have any Green Stuff or sculpting tools yet (no money for models right now). Please give me your honest opinion and any tips are much appreciated. I'll update the list whenever I get the time. Thanks. http://s228.photobucket.com/albums/e...ediafilter=all

Blog Entries: 1 | Some more pics are up. Keep in mind that most of my models are around 85% complete, they need touching up, green stuff, and of course paint. I know I'm making a big mistake, but I'm gonna build my army before I paint, because I don't have the paints right now and I'm gonna do a few test models before I really get into painting. Also, my termies will have more spikes on them.

I assembled most of my Blood Angels before painting, and they don't look too bad (I think). If there's a spot you can't reach with a good brush, just get a crappy one and go with Chaos Black, if all else fails. It won't look bad. That's the great thing: it's Chaos! "Painting mishap, Dragoon King?" "No, no, mortal fool, it's CHAOS!"

Blog Entries: 4 | We all do, I have all of my Thousand Sons built except for my Terminators and I just sit there and admire their black undercoat instead of painting them up, best thing about your Black Legion is that they're black! Only details and trim to do. Your very good with taking those Imperial symbols off of the loyalist models, I would experiment more with that. |

Blog Entries: 1 | I got some Bezerkers done, I'll post them up when I get the chance. By the way, what do you guys think about the bolt pistols? Should I change them to Bolters for the sake of WYSIWYG? I'm gonna build a squad of 1k Sons as soon as I get the bits (I need torsos, bolters and shoulder pads if anyone has any, let me know). I'm also gonna add a Vindicator, a Land Raider (maybe a FW prehersey one), a 5 man Terminator squad (waiting of the new ones), a custom Abby (using the new termie lord) possibly a winged Daemon Prince or custom Typhus, and then my army will be pretty much finished, except of course for the painting! Thanks for your input guys, really appreciate it.

Blog Entries: 1 | i know what you mean about the bolters, i got about 20 guys that have pistols and i gave all my bolters away. D'oh! i wouldn't have thought it would be a huge problem though, just mix in some bolter and some ccw armed marines in the same squad and you should be fine.

Blog Entries: 1 | it ain't that hard to swap out a few weapons even after they are stuck on, i've done it a couple of times. just cut/pry/juggle the original pieeces off and stick the new ones on. the only bugger is the shoulder pads, sometines they come off easy others they stick like s**t to a shovel! as long as you have a few spares you should be ok.

Blog Entries: 1 | why not use the wings from the possessed as the jump packs rather than the raptor packs? they're good and chaosy, and plastic where as metal packs on plastic minis will make them hard to balance.
