When I was 16 I started painting minis and played a ton of Tabletop games like 40k,WHFB, Titanicus at its time. I took a break from the gaming community for around 18 years. I decided to comeback after my life was settled down and began to build and paint my Armies. After taking a break I have started again 2023.

I have always enjoyed doing Chaos.
Automatically Appended Next Post: My new armies have just begun....I started with the Dark Vengeance set good value for getting back into the game itself esp with rule changes etc.
I also discovered even painting techniques have changed some. Dry Brushing was not used as much back them. I used to paint with 2-3 hair brushed just to hit fine lines. Washing was an old school Citadel Ink Wash.
Wish an airbrush for basecoat and primer I started. I use Vallejo Model Color Paint exclusively unless I need something in Citadel.
My completed Chaos Cultists ( I may re varnish them I don't like the dull coat to much)
Automatically Appended Next Post: Next I moved onto the DV set Hellbrute. Great model very Chaos. My first attempt did not work out so well the pigments pretty much dusted up the Model. Then I fixed it.
Original
Fixed Vallejo Pigments for mud and rust/oil. Also pick up Sack Of Skulls from Secret Weapon to add to the base. I used to use skeleton kits back in the day.
Then came my Chaos Landraider....
Original
Then after some feedback and some ideas I ended up with this as a final. All Magnetizing the doors and sponsons. And top weapons are all removable and swappable for gaming purposes and transport.
At the same Time I started working on the Chosen from the DV boxset.
Original
After some thought I decided to work on a set of terminators. I bought the kits and Forgeworld Bits. I also could not resist on KHORNE WORLD EATERS TERMINATOR LORD ZHUFOR.
My Finished ones now after redoing touching them up. Had the same dull coat I did not care for and need a better washing /glaze....
Next 2 are magnatized Arms and Banners.
So I decided to pick up some Raptors/ Warptalons kit along with Kharn...
Defiler was fun to build the pain to magnetize but, it is finished thus far. I may choose to add some skulls later date.
Back to the DV set. Since I am doing chaos I decided to convert the Ravenwing Bikes...WIP Little bit of a kit bash to get the front ends but, some green stuff etc. I think it came along together.
Now for the core of the army. Berserkers..

I'm not sure you should redo the cultists: I think the colours are exactly right for the simpleton commoners most cultists are
One note though, not sure if I'm correct on this one as I've little experience with it, but the blood on the cultist's weapons seems to be in the wrong places. Especially with the axe, you'd expect the tips to be the most covered in blood.
EDIT: apparently you only want to redo the layer of varnish, I should read better in the future... At least we're on the same page then

Yeah a few models like the cultists I haven't redone.

Thank You for the kind words. Yeah when I started getting back into 40k I bought the DV set. However I am not a fan of painting the Raven Wing Bikes. (I was building a CSM army anyway. So, I converted them with some Berserker bits and Khorne symbols. I even had some GW skulls laying around I mounted with some green stuff to the head plates. The Lord (no helm is Zhufor). The Hardest part was cleaning out the area to mount that head. (removing the original head).

I'll post the finished ones in a few days I hope.

If you wanna give your gold abit more shade and depth without resorting to washes, try doing a layer of bronze/tin before applying a thing cover of gold, it looks kinda thick right now

Yeah it's not really thick. My camera phone is picking up all the gloss on the mini's making it appear a bit thick. I see what you're talking about. I'll post new pics soon.
So the magnetizing has begin. To give me the option of either to play on the table. Such a nice sculpt for a model can't wait to get it painted.
WIP Magnets done on 1st one. Both will be done similar. I plan to add machine screws in the base bottom to hold the legs. Pinning isn't strong enough to hold the angle.
Nice work! Was it a difficult to get the fiend magnetized? I'm starting to put mine togheter and it doesn't seem that complicated, but it's those middle legs that has me abit worried. Does the model rest on them when you have it as a forgefiend or is the entire thing held up by the back legs? Will the back legs hold it? I know plastic glue is strong, but as you said, it's a nice model, I wanna treat it right =)

Magnetizing wasn't that hard just a bit of work. Most magnets sit right in the sockets with some greenstuff and superglue. I cut the ball joints off of every other item that went into any of the sockets. Middle legs aren't that hard just can't attach them to the base since the Maulerfiend doesn't use them. Yes the back legs are the only ones you attach to the base. That's why I used the machine screws to base it. However you can just glue it to the base depending on your base. In my case I was using rock for my lava base and the cork as we all know isn't a solid base also in this case I can always break down the entire model for transport (I took the video ideas another step, why not just be able to remove it from the whole base.). Placement of the Maulerfiend right arm took some planning ahead of time due to the fact that it rests on t he floor in the original model. The hardest part was drilling the ball sockets on the Forgefiend arms to get the weapons to swap because there are 2 magnets on those small parts. One to attach to the base the other to the weapon choices of Ectoplasma Cannons or Hades Autocannons. You may need to get extra bits for the little tubes on the weapons since the model only comes with a pair. I also greestuff the Shoulder Armor to the body of the model since they usually attach to the arms again you can order more bits or do it my way.
Here are some video ideas that inspired me.

Fantastic work on the magnetising! If you were closer, I'd try to convince you to let me pay you to assemble and magnetise my own one that still sits on the sprue for the day I assemble it.

Thank you so much. Yeah at this point in my life I barely have time to build/play with my army no less work on someone else's. As I said I took some ideas from the videos and added some of my own. I plan on painting soon and working/building on the 2nd one. These guys will be the brothers of Khorne Daemon Engine of War.

Thank you so much. Yeah the Zerkers are taking a hell of a long time esp that trim. Been bouncing back and forth between the 2 maulerl/forge fiends (still working on the 2nd magnetizing assembly)and the Zerkers. I hope to have more pics soon as the end of the week. (one can hope)

Well doing some details and some work on my zerkers. I still have a little more paint, washing, glaze over red and gold to brighten them up some, highlighting and weathering. I figure I share what I have....thus far
2 have not had one arm attached for painting reason. They cross the chest of the model.

Updated: Almost done with these guys. With some Raptor parts and a little bit of bit swapping. These Zerkers are almost done. Should be finished real soon. Some Highlighting, Weathering and a little more Base work. I will be finished.

Looks awesome! Just noticed how great you've posed them aswell, I found it kinda hard to do since the running legs are difficult to get right. I think the one with the dual sword is my favorite

Thank you so much for the kind comments. Yeah the Dual Swords are one of my favs as well. I took the one sword arm from some Raptor kits I had left over.
I'll be posting finished ones soon enough. Then onto finishing both Mauler / Forgefiends.

So I finally got my Zerkers finished. I am rather pleased with the outcome. I may go back and touch up and add some chipping to the armor. It's not a priority though as of right now they are finished.

Glory to Khorne! The plasma looks great, gives some nice contrast to all the red. Have you considerd adding some grass to the bases? It would also give some nice contrast.
Also, you really need a better camera, your phone doesn't do the models justice
