Hi folks Well i got round to doing some test units for what colours my chaos marines are going to be. Only taken me a year ?  Any way follow the link to see the models. Basically its either Black Legion, Iron Warriors, or Word Bearers. I still intend to have my Abaddon model in my army just with the terminators on his base repainted to match which ever colour scheme i pick. Abaddon will then just be a character picked out in black paint. So which paint scheme do you like best? |

Nice work ! I like that you mixed the types, even added the Chaos Squat (= mutated CSM !) ... I Vote - Black Legion ! |

Nice work all round Doc - I'd agree with L4 on the Black Legion (complete with Squats!) - but add a couple of units of Iron Warriors and Wordbearers too - they're too good to waste!

Personally I think the Wordbearers are the way to go but the Blacks are a VERY close second. I'd be happy to see an army in any of the schemes, so don't forget loads of pics

I would vote Word Bearers for the simple reason that they are not that common. Plus your painting does look good. |

I like all three, but my favorite is the Iron Warriors. |

Now if it were me, I'd say Iron Warriors - they're the best Chaos Marine Legion IMHO! But judging on the quality of your painting (and that Abaddon Conversion), I'd say go for Black Legion. |

A mixed lot is a good idea, as "V" suggests ! With most being Black Legion ! I have dets. of all 4 major Chaos Powers and Undivided ... it's all good ... or badd as the case may be !

Thanks for the responces folks! Well i narrowed it down to these 3 because.. ...i liked the word bearers symbol and they were different. ...i think the iron warrior fluff is cool (except they dont do deamons i think). ...black legion cos they should be eaiest to paint and are also pretty cool looking. What i found was that the iron warriors were easiest, followed closely by black legion, and word bearers were a pain (and i am still not happy with them). I struggle with painting red especially dark red. Tas how do you paint your word bearers? My method for these was 1, black spray undercoat 2, quick coat of beastial brown (so that the red has something to adhere to, reddoesnt cover black very wel in my experience) 3, red gore as the main 4, then i tried to do a quick highlight (first tried yellow, looked daft, then tried blood red which didnt work, then blazing orange which is what i eneded up with but i dont think it worked at all) 5, paint guns black 7, paint trim boltgun metal 8, any further details When i finished painting them i thought of doing a formation of each ...but... does that would look ok L4? as the army wouldnt look cohensive unless you have done it cleverly ?  Would be cool to have a formation painted as each traitor legion, unfortunately dont have enough models for that ?  The chaos squats look like they are CSM climbing out of the ground in an undead skeleton fashion ? But the variety of the units looks cool in my opinion. And does any body have any spare old CSM. I have enough of the new style to make another formation but none of the old style, and i would like to keep the mixed unit feel. So any body want a straight swap 20 - 30 old style for new style? Anyway it appears Black Legion is in the lead at the moment.... still wait and see what i feel like. I have a battleforce and a titan (no where near as good as that awsome chaos behemoth)to finish for the comp. Any body got any pics of their armies to get a feel for what a whole army of them looks like? |

Doc, I did my WBearers very similar to you, though skipping the bestial brown and doing 2 coats of red. I like the older brighter red scheme than the newwer dark red one. I did lots of random silvers, golds and bleached bone for a chaotic look and to make them different to the red and brass of the World Eaters. I added lots of slivers of old flash to the vehicles to me "impurtiy" seals as well. I'll take some closeup pics for you when I get home in a few months |
