Wargame Exclusive Chaos Master of Crusade (definately not Abaddon the Despolier) Commission

Although this does bear a striking similarity to a certain Master of Chaos, this miniature comes from Wargame Exclusive and is a limited edition miniature that I painted up on commission.

The Umbral Claw - Chaos Space Marine Squad W.I.P

A unit of renegade Chaos Marine fighting for fortune in the midst of the Eye of Terror!

Once upon a time I had a Black Legion Chaos marine army that I gamed with quite frequently. They were a collection of 2nd edition plastic miniatures and terminators on the smaller bases led by the pre eminent miniature that was Abaddon the Despoiler. I tried adding to this army when new Chaos releases came out but they didn't sit right against my older collection. I had moved onto a different place in my life and the army came to be a milestone for me. It had fought through Abaddon's great Crusade and would now reside on the display cabinet for all eternity, gods of their own kingdom. 

But I couldn't resist playing with the new Chaos possessed kit. The details reminded me of the older Space Crusade models and I wanted to create marines that were equally as strange. So these W.I.P's are a mixture of vagabonds, traitors, liars and warped souls. I have a sizable collection of dark Vengeance Chaos Marines still on srpue tucked away in one of my many boxes. Perhaps the Black Legion will get a second birth as something far stranger than before?

Black Legion Contemptor Dreadnought

Black Legion contemptor Dreadnought. My client wanted a post heresy era contemptor with red under-lighting on the face. It was a nice change of pace to create a 40k version of a heresy piece.

A quick tip for painting interesting black - give the armour a thinned down wash of turquoise and re-apply the grey and white highlights. It gives a little more visual interest.
