This is going to be an old school chaos bezerker army. I experimented with pre-heresy World Eaters colors splattered with blood but didn't like the results but I think this will work with Space Wolf colors. Hopefully I'll be able to find gloss red here for the blood.

Anyway thanks to the Warstore I have my Wolfs and bezerkers to mash up:



For once I have enough boxes at one time to properly differenciate the squads. Squad Johanas Wu will have running legs, bare heads and double pistols.



While squad Jasonik Kruger will have double weapons, no pistols in hand and chaos warrior helmets.

And while I'm at it, here are my chaos cultists:



LotR Harn with WWII rifles and rocket launchers. Cause sometimes you just need to make some screaming cultists. Shame there's no rules for them...

And Raptors for my Death Guard:


Possessed. Thanks to Boss Salvage for the extra wings.

Hmm dakka upload turned them into thumbnails and cut quality.

I put them up on my site.

http://www.pbase.com/kidkyoto/fallen_wolves

More to come as I model and paint.

Spider Raptor, Spider Raptor does whatever a Spider Raptor does. Hmm this could also be the name of a real nasty rpg monster...
I love your conversion work because you always got very cool ideas.

Thanks

Spidey will be my raptor champ with lightning claws.

Ahhhh glad the wings arrived in one piece, I was worried about Red Postal Workers crushing them with zealous abandon!

Nice to see a blog from you, though your pics are so dark and my work monitor makes them even darker to the point of sadness

I do like what I see, particularly the LotR cultists with rifles! Ha!

- Salvage

And here are some more, my 4 plasma gun havok squad, some more bezerkers, some old school marines and finally my witchhunter frothing loonies

Ring of Death!

Man those flaggelant models are fun for conversions

- Salvage

"I agree."

From what sprue are those chaos head? Fantasy or Berserker or Chaos Marines? With a bit of cutting they could just fit in my medieval space marine army (long time plan).

Flowing conversions, I always like it if the army is one piece rather than a bunch of minis thrown together.

Greets
Schepp himself

Thanks guys, I only just noticed that this will be an all plastic army, hurray for GW plastics!

The helmets are from the fantasy chaos warriors (2004 models). It's funny, I traded away 50 of them after I did my Adeptus Custodius (Grey Knight) army and still have enough to burn on this 20 man squad. Geeze I never wanted to see them again after that project.

where did you get those WWII rifles for your cultists?

And some updates...

A better picture of my nurgle raptor champ



My nurgle Obliterators



Fallen wolves bikers


Size comparison between a CSM and a flagellent


And my flagellent-based Inquisition loonies

Hahahah I thought that was a CSM riding around on a flaggy's shoulders, but in reality he's just sneaking up on him to do baaaad things. Clearly the flaggy is either deaf or yelling loud enough not to hear the CSM continuously bellowing his warcry

The pose on the nurgle raptor is a really solid lunge, nice spawn arms too.

Speaking of spawn, I dig the faux-bliterators, very nice. The termi heads really sell them.

- Salvage

great use of the new plastics.

Nice. I might do the same with my 13th Company when those rules are killed.

- G

Looking cool man! Just make sure to clean up those mold lines and clipper tags

Im digging the nurgle oblits especially.

Those spawns actually look like obliterators. Very good job on that.

The spider raptor came out better then I expected very cool. The obliterators are very nice, too. Maybe an idea I might steal for my evil plans.

FearPeteySodes wrote:Looking cool man! Just make sure to clean up those mold lines and clipper tags

Those aren't mold lines! They're Chaos mutations!

Thanks for the feedback all, I started some painting but I'm not happy with how the Space Wolf blue looks. I'll do a test model in codex grey and see if I like it better.

Still looking for gloss red for the blood...

The great thing about these models is that they make it look so easy. The bad thing is I thought OI was the only one putting chaos warrior heads on my marines and termie heads on spawn to make obliterators. Stealing from the poor is not cool, man, not even when it's just stealing ideas.

Seriously, though, this whole thing looks great. And you can always use the cultists as kroot mercs.

Kid_Kyoto wrote:Still looking for gloss red for the blood...

My favorite blood effect ever was by accident. I had the old/crappy GW twist off red ink and over time it congealed and got really thick and i used that till it ran out which was to fast cause there wasnt much in there by the time it had "mutated"

Now if i do that I like painting blood with a but if red gore then a small blood red highlight/spattering then going over it with a mix of red ink and water effect. Getting the consistency is kinda odd but if you get it it looks really brutal and realistic w/o being cheesy and over the top (which blood and gore more often than not is on most models IMHO).

Hmm, the best blood I ever found was testors gloss red, it was an enamel and destroyed brushes but it looked wet and icky. I just can't find it (or indeed any model paints) here in Workers Paradise Red China.

Only good looking spawn I ever saw.

Dude, those obliterators are freakin awesome! Seriously some of the best ideas I've seen in a long time, gork knows I love plastics man, you're inspiring me to do simply wrong things for chaos...

Ah more decent conversions ruined by my painting...

First up the Spectacular Spider Pig, they say he was once a champion of good before he sold his soul to the dark powers in exchange for getting out of his marriage



And his amazing friends



And the spawn. Thinking of adding cables to them? Thoughts?



And my Inquisition mob



I have some fallen wolves painted but I'm undecided about paint scheme, so I'll put them in a paintng thread.

Would love to dip those puppies

Oblits are still my fav, some cables from guns/arms to back might not hurt.

- Salvage

Yea a good dip would definitely be a solid plan.

Not as good as say shipping them to Salvage and I to paint for you, but I suppose it is a little late for that plan.

Even just a dark wash would go a long way.

As to cables, I could see adding some more cables/metal plates to the Oblits to make them look a little more mechanical/armored and a little less like "spawn in a helmet". It might help drive home just what they are to the average player, I mean.

Screw the painting bit, but I would happily dip the crap out of them if Kyoto was over on our side of the world. Sadly, no luck

- Salvage

Is the magic sauce they sell at the warstore good?

Both my black and green ink dried up so I need to order some.

This 'un?

No idea, but I too have wondered for some time what the sauce can do ...

- Salvage

I really like the Obliterators nice use of the Chaos spawn! I look forward to seeing some paint on them.

Out of curiosity Kid_Kyoto what part of China are you actually in? I travel back and forth there every other month to Shenzen down by Hong Kong.

Thanks for the kind words but I'm in the North in Beijing.

Still if you ever head up this way let me know.

Some additions over this week...

I am LOVING the possessed sprue. Yeah the unit sucks but the box is worth it for aspiring champs, raptors, lords, whatever. There we have Sir Spikesalot, even his spikes have spikes!


And the last of my 20 CSM squad. Each has a different pair of CC weapons. I like Red Star with his hammer and sickle.


For the 82nd airborne this is my idea for a drop pod.



And finally an empire wizard as an Imperial Priest.

That Empire Wizard looks really cool. I also like Sir Spikesalot, but I bet can be a real prick... :S. Really cool lookin army though. This is always what I've liked about Chaos is the ability for two players to slap down 1500 of the same army, but they look completely different in every way. Great job.

Got some painting done this week, most importantly another test model for my glossy blood effect.



He still needs inking but I think the blood effect works.

On a whim I threw together some bitz to make a special character for the Fallen Wolves, Carnivore Dimitri Bitraiah. Often confused with the more famous Kharn the Betrayer he nonetheless works to set the standard for skulls, spikes and oversized weapons.


And here they are facing off against a Macross Konig Monster

Are you going to make that helicopter bulkier for gothic
40k purposes?

malfred wrote:Are you going to make that helicopter bulkier for gothic

Hadn't really thought about it...

I've still not made my 82nd Airborne list yet so I don't know how many I'll need.

Any ideas? Obviously it will need more skulls.

Somethin' tells me you ain't takin' this army seriously Kyoto...

BYE

Actually they're both pretty serious. Since the odds of me playing a game in Red China are pretty slim I'm not too worried about competition but I am trying to raise my basic painting skills which have always been pretty basic indeed.

And the US army themed marines have been a dream of mine for a while.

I really, really like the the Hammer and sickle marine. You should make a whole army to that theme. To combat your Airborne.

Well I finally got some models up to the BLOOD STAGE, the best painting stage of all.

One thing I have seen done on larger models/masks etc. for making good looking blood is taking your red substance of choice, putting some in your mouth, and spitting/blowing it out over the subject. Some of the theatre geeks (note the 're') I hung out with in college used that to make realistic splatter type markings. Basically just blow the stuff on and let it drip down from it's initial point of impact, and it mimiks the result of a close up gun shot/chainsaw wound really well.

If you don't want to put your paint in your gob (a good idea probably) a balloon was used for bigger things, so perhaps a little rubber dropper or something similar would do the trick. They also used something that looks like a whoopie cushion attached to a board, which was then hit with another board, but I don't know if that was a scratch build or what.

The main difference between this and the basic paint sprayer is the globby effect. Instead of a fine mist, you get bigger and more random drops of paint that will hit, smear a little, then drip down.

Now, note of warning: I have never painted a miniature that needed to be dripping blood, so I don't know how well it would lend itself to small things, but it makes for a GREAT effect on masks, costumes, and one large sized (12" xenomorph) actionfigure I saw it done on.

The scale of that chopper looks perfect for a drop pod, KK - is it just a generic toy you picked up somewhere?

And also that Macross Monster makes for an incredible Titan! Where did you pick it up?

Oh yeah, and Sir Spikesalot? He's sharp!

Indeed, do tell more about the monster.

I've found for my blood effects I use Tamiya Clear Gloss Red. You put 2-3 layers on the model after sealing it and it looks great. It has enough opacity to look realistic, and its glossy enough to look very sweet.

Perhaps an eye dropper would work? I've still got some 2nd edition bezerkers to check with.

The blood is in fact Tamiya gloss red. great stuff and it's not enamel like I thought so brushes stay clean.

The Monster is a macross toy from one of the video games. It actually transforms! Though not very well IMHO. I always loved the Macross designs, the Monster is my 3rd favorite after the veritech and Warhammer/excaliber/whatever it's called.



The chopper is made by New Ray toys I've seen them in the US so you might be able to find them.

Kid_Kyoto wrote:The blood is in fact Tamiya gloss red. great stuff and it's not enamel like I thought so brushes stay clean.

LOL! Great minds think alike! I've never seen the red applied to a grey so it looked different.
I'm used to applying it to my red and black tyranids (or their claws).

Fauxbliterator is my new black. Both the word and the idea. Yeah, cables would make them even better. If you have a spare HB feed or two sitting around (or any thinker conduit that's not round), that would be good too.

As for blood, try mixing some gloss varnish in with Blood Red. Increases translucency and gloss at the same time.

Ah my poor, poor BLOOD!zerkers. Pushed aside by other sexier projects and forgotten.

Well no longer.

Because today we see the premier of their greatest weapon yet, the fearsome BLOOD!icator!

The BLOOD!icator is widely considered by the Inquistion to be the 16th most disturbing bodily-fluid themed war engine in the whole of the Chaos legions. It exceeds even the Flemdicator of the the Death Guard though it is exceeded by the Emperor's Children's Ejaculatrix.

Powered by BLOOD! harvested from the corpses of slain it processes them in the BLOOD!vats to fuel the BLOOD!cannon which fires bolts of pureist BLOOD!

Unlike other Khorne Bezerkers who sort of fancy a bit of BLOOD!, I can honestly say the BLOOD!zerkers really, really (x2) like it.

A lot.

After that description I saw the first pick and though 'Well that was a lot of build-up for nothing'.

Then I saw the others. Interesting idea. Would you believe that I envy your painting abilities?

BYE

Ah! Solid conversion Kyoto-san, nice GS and use of the CoD pipe bits! Was gonna say the yellow panel seems off, but then saw it tied in with your marines' yellow pads.

- Salvage

You are certainly lying but I thank you anyway. I'm still deciding what to do for vindicator #2. Naturally it will have to be called the Skulldicator...

Hmm... (looks at corpse cart I bought in Shanghai)

CHESTNUT INK!

Seriously, do a thin wash of that over the blood. It adds a sense of realism that you'll thank me for later. Promise.

Kid_Kyoto wrote:Naturally it will have to be called the Skulldicator...

Maybe a Rhino with the back portion of the troop carrying roof removed and replaced with a skull-chucka catapult. Very Evil-Dead-ish.

damnit Kyoto-san, I almost spit my dinner of hot dogs all over my monitor reading your bloodzerker primer!

I'll give the ink a try. As I said it came out well enough but somehow that rear blood vat still lacks... something. Maybe a need to do half a victim being sucked in screaming.

the pipes and vat are from the pegasus chemical plant actually, not the CoD. Good kit, I find a lot of uses for it.

You got some great conversions here.

To answer a few questions that have been raised in the thread; Magic Sauce from the warstore is awesome. I bough the whole set and use it all the time. I would definitely recommend it for your models as it's would bring out some depth.

Also, for blood spatter, the easiest way to acheive it realistically is load up a brush with some watered down red and get it close to the part of the mini you want blood spattered and blow on the brush tip. It will spray droplets in a pretty realistic pattern.

hey dude nice models you got goin there. do you just mail order your models? cuz i've been around beijing never in my life have i saw a nice hobby store there. lol.

peace

At last some progress...

Yea though the Bloodicator is a truly fearsome war machine it makes up only half the firepower of the fearsome BLOOD!zerkers of Khorne.

Yea so they have called upon the eighth most fearsome body-part-related warmachine in all the armies of chaos (slightly more fearsome than Tzeentch's Hand of Death but slightly less so than the dreaded Throbbing Member of Slannesh)...

BEHOLD!

The SKULLdicator!

Dip an old toothbrush into what ever you use for your blood, and flick it onto the model via the brush.

You end up with this:

Some new additions!

I'm tinkering with my army list. for a while I had 4 plasma gunners in my dev squad. I thought that plasma guns which pose a hazard to users and targets alike would be the most favored weapon of the BLOOD!zerkers but their poor performance in 2 games tells me otherwise. Then I realized the problem, the searing heat of the plasma bolts boils blood and incinerates skulls!

Surely this is what was making the BLOOD!zerkers fail!

So I thought. Lascannons were surely out for the same reason, missile launchers were an option but still not quite right. Then I realized that the BLOOD!zerkers needed heavy bolters. They're loud, heavy, ejaculate white hot death and leaving big messes of blood. Add a chainsaw bayonet and Bob's your uncle!

I also decided to cut some of my powerfist champs. A S5, I5 power weapon is more than enough for some squads, especially since they all have krak grenades and hit the rear armor of tanks.

Thus I present the BLOOD!evistators! and Baron Skullsplitter

"Bloody 'ell governer! 'ow long we gotta ride around in these Chimeras that 'count as' rhinos?"
"Watch your language son, I won't have you taking the word BLOOD! in vain!"
"Sorry guv!"
"As for your question, as you know some (cough) POSER (cough) chapters like to paint their armor red and pretend its BLOOD!"
"Oh yeah guv, I hates them!"
"And they like to take a stock rhino and glue a skull to the front and call it a BLOOD! rhino..."
"'at's right guv, bloody shameful it is."
"What was that?"
"I mean uh... BLOOD!y shameful."
"Correct. But for us BLOOD!zerkers! this will not do! We need something special! Something that say to the world, we really, really, honestly like BLOOD!"
"And skulls! We like skulls too guv!"
"Hmm... skulls... yes... skulls... we certainly do like them..."

And thus was born...

Nice job i liked them!
Great job!

kinda creepy

bloody hell.

Conversions are great, moldlines and painting not so much.

Use Devlan mud to rescue paint job

Old Man Ultramarine wrote:Conversions are great, moldlines and painting not so much.

Devlan mud?

And the third is ready! The mighty KilleRhino!

Wow been a while since I updated.

I've found one problem with my army is taking and holding objectives or defending my own backfield so I decided I needed some plague marines.

But how to make Plague Marines fit in with the BLOOD!zerkers?

The answer... Herr Iron Blud!

He of course is the leader of the Steel Warriors: Guardians of the Iron, a cult of BLOOD!zerkers who have devoted themselves to the power of IRON and thus are like real tough and stuff.

Interesting. Good use of the chaos warrior sprue.

kyoto you might just be totally insane.

Well, its like there's a thin line between genius and insanity: you're the line.

but i must say, they are unique!

its a cool idear, but not totally sold on the blood spatter on them. some of them look good enough and others look a bit over done

I love your stuff it's great.

Delvin Mud is a GW wash that'd be great on them.

Love your conversion's

The Cauldron 'O Blood is my favourite part so far. You're getting better with the blood effects - Skullsplitter is a nice mess.

KingCracker wrote: some of them look good enough and others look a bit over done

WHAT? Too much blood? Overdone?

Next you'll be saying they have too many skulls!

haha skulls for the skull god !

One day in the arrival hall of Eye of Terror International Airport...

"Oh boy, oh boy oh boy!" Lord Bludwolf squealed like a little girl. "New Units! I love getting new units! What do you think we'll get this time Kharn?"



"BLOOD!" Kharn ejaculated loudly. "SKULLS!"

"Well yes, that rather stands to reason what with us being the BLOOD!zerkers and all but I wonder what exactly we'll get this time, oh here they come now!"



"Aye mate, you the bloke in charge here?" Said the spikey-armored warrior with an oversized weapon. "We the BLOOD!inators, where you want us to set up?"

"BLOOD!inators?" His equally spikey comrade asked. "I taut we was the TerBLOOD!inators?"

"TerBLOOD!inators? Well that's a pretty schupid name for a unit. We the BLOOD!inators, we always been the BLOOD!inators we'll always be the BLOOD!inators!"

"Okay, Okay, BLOOD!y hell you don't have to go biting my head off. Anyway the rest of the lads are coming now."







"Welcome! Welcome!" Bludwolf ejaculated loudly. "I see some combi meltas and a powerfist."

"Yeah, we figured we'd just deepstrike in, melta a tank and then fight out way out."

"Good, good. Say you lads ain't see Herr Fireskull have you? I thought he was arriving today."



"Yeah, he's still being painted but we expect him presently."

"Good, good, well welcome to the BLOOD!zerkers, looks like you'll fit right in."

"BLOOD!" Kharn ejaculated loudly. "SKULLS!"

"That's what I'm talking about!"

they sure do like ejaculating

enmitee wrote:they sure do like ejaculating

In the grim darkness of the far future all communication is done by loud ejaculation.

One of harry Potter books had the line "Ron ejaculated loudly" which actually got parent's groups mad. So I use it any chance I get.

just a quick addition, not time for cute story...

bloody hell.

I'm jealous of all this ejaculating! All us followers of Nurgle get to do is ooze pus and make others vomit! We don't even get to vomit ourselves unless we're sorcerers or greater daemons or such. Praise Nurgle, but those obliterators are awesome.

Oh...wow...those colours really match up nicely. And the painting is superb...and...um...the conversions are...sufficient.

Very nice idea "Fallen Wolves"...

To represent Chaos mutations I would have gone for wolfen

Then for heavies like termies and lords etc - I would have gone for Fantasy Werewolves - throw some Shoulder pads and greaves on them.

The Chaos Warriors are awesome - check out the Gothic Marine Conversions - I think its by Doghouse or someone... add some wolfen parts and presto.

just my 2c - would really hug the theme more than the bat wing guys

I find a combination of the old GW inks works nice.. 1 part brown ink, 1 part yellow ink, 1 part red ink and 1 part orange ink. Of course if you want your blood more red or less red, you can alter that..

Just a small update, some pictures from a game today.

awesome raptor champ

OK new project.

I got a half-assembled land raider years ago in a trade and never had a use for it. But one day while looking at GW's skull building an idea hit me. What about doing a version of the old epic tank the Tower of Skulls?

I did an Inquisition LR a while back with a tower on top and people liked it but this time I decided to try something different.

That octagon shaped tower was a nightmare, what was I thinking?

Oh well, looks OK now.



The essential components



Dry fit. The octagon ended up a bit wider than the LR hull. If I'd started from scratch I would have rebuilt the LR hull wider but as is... the fit isn't too bad.



As with the rhinos it will have a huge skull on it. Along with about a gazzillion little skulls. When this thing rolls down the street I want to people to know that "these guy rather fancy some skulls don't they".

As always please remember to vote in the gallery!

Tzeentch feels your pain, all we can do is whisper insidiously, no ejaculation makes Tzeentch sad

Slannesh mostly just lisps, but I her there's some loud ejaculations as well.

I think it's so cool that your marines have names...awesomesauce. Keep up the good work.

The LR and Rhino look sweet...nice theme with the troops.

Brutal!

The BLOOD!zerkers had an outing against the Necrons yesterday.

Annihilation, I won on kill points but with a lot of 1 man units left.

Anyway some pictures of the painted Tower of Skulls.
