I'm using him a generic CSM list. I bought the daemonkin codex, but with the rapier carrier and possibly a vindicator being included, I can't really just use that codex. He'll definitely be used as a Warpsmith!

KernelTerror wrote:Oooh, that is a very cool update, both new models look awesome, the champ is very leaderish and appropriate for his squad.
The warpsmith is my favorite of the day though, he must have been so fun to put together.

Thanks, it was jolly good fun. I didn't even think of including a warpsmith, but when I had those maulerfiend tentacles left over, and then read the warpsmith entry, I knew I had to create one! It came out pretty unique, and that's what I usually aim for. Glad you like him.

After painting, it's back to building again, so here are some chaos space marines. Check out the size of that flamer!

. I might add a second handle on it to balance the look of it a bit.

You like?

**KernelTerror**

Ido, very cool looking flamer. I can totally see that dude using the bottles as a melee weapon, who care if it explodes !

Maybe strapping the weapon to his shoulder/backpack using chains or a band of greenstuff would make his life easier and strengthen the model ?

Nice idea. I think I'll give that a go.

**corpuschain**

Some more chaos space marines! This will be a havoc squad. There were supposed to have 4 special weapons but I forgot one of them. Never mind - I'm pleased with the look of them!

**corpuschain**

No explanation necessary!

**Camkierhi**

Well he looks spectacular, always loved that model, not even sure what or if it is used now. Those arms do look kinda right some how though.

Oh and I love your skin tone, looks fantastically chaos. Nice work.

**evildrcheese**

Holy feth. That decimater is brutal looking. He certainly looks like he could wrestle a Knight to the ground.

Thanks. I was worried about whether the arms looked right. It doesn't help that they're a different colour at the moment. I tried to imagine it painted, and it wasn't glued when I took this picture. I left it on the shelf for a couple of hours until I was sure they were alright. I have the actual decimator weapons but I am loathe to build a model without some form of conversion!

It's a decimator daemon engine, by the way. The rules are in 'Imperial Armour Volume 13 - The War Machines of the Lost and the Damned'.

Well, he will certainly try,,,

I reckon he could get behind it, grab its waist with both claws and use the built in flamers to give it a nice roasting.

Woah, that decimator is a great Idea, All bow before the Mechanical chaos Gorilla !

Haha!

Wow, I've been busy this week! Just built another rapier carrier. It needs a dozer blade, but can't find the right one at the moment. See how the sprue that holds the cannon looks a bit like an icon of khorne? Cool, huh?

**KernelTerror**

Looking as cool as the first one ! That is indeed a khrone icon, nice find. Maybe adding a few rivets would make it look less bland ?

Here you go, EDC! Kharn has been rewarded by Khorne!

This is a metal model that I bought back in about 1998, and I think this is his third paintjob!

This is what he looked like in his previous paintjob:

Spoiler:

**KernelTerror**

Looking good, your purple-ish skin tone works nicely with him too.

Cool classic models aside his previous version. Do you plan on having a second go at them too ?

Ah, well... they are all from the World Eaters of Frenesia army (see link below), so not necessarily, although I am keen to touch some of them up because they are a bit scruffy. I don't think I'll strip them completely.
I tend to leave old models alone for the most part, but Kharn has been moved from Frenesia's army to Krev Grazl's army, so he needed a suitable paintjob (and I was never happy with him in the first place).

If I do touch them up, I'll post them in here

**corpuschain**

Almost finished the second rapier carrier and crew.
I also thought you'd like to see a WIP of the decimator. There might be another couple of updates this week, since I'm off work and planning to do lots of painting!

**corpuschain**

And a WIP view of my latest rhino.

**corpuschain**

OK, time for lots of pictures. I made some custom transfers with The Bloodstorm logo (the skull with Khorne icon on top), so, as well as finishing painting the Decimator, I have added transfers

Here is Berzerker Squad Znec.

**corpuschain**

And this is their transport:

**corpuschain**

And finally, Decimator Katastrofa. Behold his skullcrushing brutality!

**KernelTerror**

By Khorne, someone has been busy ! Brilliant work sir, my favorite of the lot is Katastrofa, but you already know I am fond of it !

**evildrcheese**

Decimator looks amazing. I think what you've done with the rhinos is awesome too. Excellent work!

EDC

**STG**

Some seriously mean looking conversions there dude! love it when someone puts that extra effort into the modelling, really makes the army very individual and characterful.
Keep it up!

**corpuschain**

Thanks all for the kind words.

**corpuschain**

A smaller update. I'm trying to polish off some models before a battle in a couple of weeks. Plus, here's a chance to show off my models with a nicer background - two sample floor tiles from B&Q!

First up is the second rapier carrier crew, now painted.

Then there is Squad Rozbořit, who are almost finished. They need some touching up and then a coat of varnish.

Finally, there are two cultist prototypes. I'm planning to make a couple of squads of cultists with a Dark Mechanicus vibe. I made these first, but now I have a box of Skitarii parts that I can add to them to make them extra mechanical.
Any thoughts on the colour scheme for these? I'm using blue as a spot colour across the army, but I think there might be too much blue on at least one of these cultists.

**WarbossDakka**

I see what you mean with the blue situation. I would say the amount of blue is fine, but it's the tone that's the problem. It feels too bright, like on the sword and the bottom cultist's loin cloth. Maybe use darker blues like Kantor Blue or navy blue. Apart from that the reds look great as do the grittier tones of the skin and clothes.

**KernelTerror**

Very cool update !
But I agree with WarbossDakka, darker or dirtier blue would be more fitting for cultists whereas you can keep this brighter tone for smaller details such as leds on weapons.
A dark wash over the blue parts should do the trick.
Anyway, Khorne darkmechanicus cultist should make for a killer combination, I am very interested in seeing the next members of the squad.
