Awesome, speedy, and very nice palette; again a bit more muted, but superb!

**Thraxas Of Turai**

I still have highlights to do, but I think your muted palette is influencing me as I usually think that my stuff is too bright.

Thus far it is literally a base coat and wash job. Maybe that is the way forward?

**Paradigm**

Well if it's that simple then that's very impressive! Another highlight wouldn't go amiss just to add some texture to the armour, but so far I love the fact they're not as garish as the GW ones; even with things like Blood Angels and especially in Fantasy stuff, bright armour really doesn't work for me.

**psnmario**

Looking good dude!

**Barzam**

The new figures look great. Say what you will about GW's practices and rules, but their sculptors have been putting out some gorgeous sculpts.

**EyeamRai**

Great painting on these beautiful sculpts.

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Thanks everyone, I do have to agree with the general consensus that these are some great sculpts. I got my first three completed.

I did not want to go overboard so for the armour I did Khorne Red, highlighted with Mephiston Red and then a bit of Wild Rider red on the face masks/around the eye sockets. I do not thinks it makes them too bright but just serves to make the armour "pop" a little bit more, at least I hope it does. Again it is not the brightest of days so apologies for the photography.

**angelofvengeance**

Khorne does not want your devotion, wretch. Only your skull!

Nice Blood Warriors, Thraxas

.

**Paradigm**

Super stuff!

**GrimDork**

Damn, you've got some fancy work going on here!

**Thraxas Of Turai**

So a little more progress with the Goretide from AOS:

I finished up my final 2 Blood Warriors:

And here is the completed unit:

I also got the Bloodsecrator and Khorgos Khul done as well:

The Khorne Lord was a real blast to paint, as was his pet Grizzlemaw:

So just the Bloodstoker and 20 Bloodreavers to paint before the Goretide is done, adios.

**Paradigm**

Superb stuff! That Khorne Lord is such an awesome model!

**angelofvengeance**

I think the Bloodreavers are gonna be a hard slog lol.

For clarification: Not difficult, just kinda gruelling as with most line troops.

**Thraxas Of Turai**

That sounds like a challenge to me AOV, I reckon I can have them done by saturday...

Weird how I bought it mainly for the Stormcast Eternals but have loved doing the Khorne models, but as Para says the Lord is an excellent miniature.

**angelofvengeance**

Don't know about you, but the mould lines on Khorgos' banner were all over the shop.. took me ages to clean that one bit lol.

**Azazelx**

Bloody hell, Thraxas. Amazingly fast and quality work on those Khornereaper things. I are impress.

**angelofvengeance**

Might be worth putting some Nurgle's rot technical paint on there for Grizzlemaw's saliva running out of his chops maybe?

**squall018**

Thraxis, you are doing some simply superb work on these, and at a very fast clip. I haven't even gotten my AoS stuff off the sprue yet. The fleshtones are the warbeast are excellent. They have a softer, more natural looking contrast compared to the armor, which makes it look much more lifelike.

Keep em coming!

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Thank you for the comments, much appreciated.

@AOV: No flash at ll on mine, weird how that happens. I will look into Nurgle's Rot (not the nicest prospect).

Failed abysmally to get the 20 Bloodreavers done by today, only managed 10. That said I did work 5 12 hour night shifts this week, you have to sleep some time.

So here we are, again photography is a bit poor due to the lighting:

And my Goretide thus far:

The Bloodstoker is currently on the painting table, so hopefully will have him done by tomorrow. Adios.

**Paradigm**

Looking good!

**GrimDork**

Damn. I don't know that I like what they've done with the whole Sigmar stuff... but as an admire-from-afar of chaos for years I gotta say those Khorne dudes are pretty amazing and your excellent paint work only makes them more so.

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Thank you very much gents, one of the "fun" things about working nights is that on your nights off you wake up at 4am and can set about painting.

So I got my Bloodstoker done. I was initially quite daunted by this miniature but I actually found him straightforward and fun to paint. His muted flesh tone was easy too, so I will replicate it on my remaining Bloodreavers thus giving them 3 flesh colours. I have since removed the rogue hair attached to the whip:

**angelofvengeance**

Vekh the Flayer is looking particularly awesome! Nice work mate!

The joys of having a messed up body clock lol.

**Verviedi**

Amazing AdMech! I love purple!

**GrimDork**

Great work, and it's nice to see kind of a chunky dude working for Khorne, reminds me a bit of the Rancor tamer/trainer/whatever.

**Azazelx**

Great work on all of these Khorne Boys. You've done an outstanding job on them in such a short time.

**squall018**

The bloodstoker is probably my favorite model of the Khorne side of the starter set. I like that theres a fat guy for once in warhammer (thats not nurgle). Pretty cool model.

**EyeamRai**

Beautiful work on all the Khorne models!

**Thraxas Of Turai**

Thank you everyone. I have set myself the mini challenge of getting the remaining 10 Blood Reavers done before me and the Missus head to Amsterdam for a little holiday on friday. With 2 more nightshifts, packing, sleeping and eating to do I doubt that I will do it but I will try. Then it is onto the Sigmarite models.

**Thraxas Of Turai**

So had a little break from the AOS starter set to paint up some terrain, nothing particularly special here but the pieces will certainly help fill up a table.

Firstly is Deathknell Watch, this is OOP but when browsing my local GW they still had a box so I snapped it up. I have not glued the tower to the base so it can have some dual uses. Firstly as a magical pool/objective:

Then the full works:

I also got a Baleful Realmgate done, I think my other will be a more sandstoney affair with fire in the middle:

Thanks for looking.
