Milmaa’s Black Legion

I have been using Micro Art Studios bases for my Black Legion, but as I was running low on 40mm ones, I thought I would try and make something with the hundreds of standard bases I have laying about! It should save me a great deal If I can get it right!

Part one:

I needed something to act as the concrete in my base, to form the centre piece of my bases. For that I ordered in some cork sheets, never worked with it before, but was very simple. Cut shapes out, glue to base! Simples!

I then added some sand, as course as I had to the base to give some texture;

Part two:

next I thought I needed to give the base some volume, and bulk, something to blend the concrete in to the actual base.

For this I found some simple filler in the garage and began to plaster some on the the base in various areas.

Part three:

After drying, I added more sand all over the filler, to get some more texture, and rubble.

I wanted to add some extra spot debris like cables, or helmets. For this I used fuse wiring and various bits from my bits box and super glued them in place.

Part four:

Finally once dry I had to add some paint! I stuck with my usual base painting scheme (Can be found at the start of this project) I think I am pretty happy with the results. I think they will tie in with the rest of the force quite well

Been busy adding some more fire power to my force this week and am finally pleased to say that the first set of havocs are complete!

I do have another unit of these to paint, more long range than this one, but I think some terminators might be next on the list to do!

I’ve been working a little each night this week to get these beasts done…. And we have made it!

Pretty happy with them, not sure which one is my favoured! I’ll have to wait and see who is the most effective in game!

A small update, finished this squad in two parts, the first five troops many weeks ago …

And the second were finished off yesterday!

Looking forward to getting some more of the Black Legion done, have 2 of the new obliterators from Shadowspear on the desk right now 🙂

Finally I think this guy is complete and ready to take some skulls!

Some close ups

Loved this model from start to finish.. Super happy with him!

My goodness I love this model… I really am trying to take my time with him and make sure I do the best job I can.

Really enjoying him so far, so much work left to do, more to come tomorrow!

Its been weeks, but finally 5 more Raptors have been completed…

Its been difficult to get these done with all the new Chaos distractions recently!

Doing a bit of playing about airbrushing inks… I believe its the in thing to do nowadays !

I’m trying to be patient with this waiting for coats to dry… I’m failing!
