For some reason, I suspect a huge number of these gloriously over-named models will be turning up in the next couple of weeks, so I figured, why not try and get as many of them in one place as possible? It was jokingly suggested as a theme for next month's actual Unofficial Painting Challenge, and while it's a bit too specific for that, I do enjoy seeing different interpretations of the same model, especially one as cool as this that loads of people are going to be working on!

So whether you're painting it stock as a champion of the Blood God, slapping on some armour and making it a Space Marine or even turning it into an Ork Warboss (I've seen the suggestion, I want to see the result!), post up your SLAUGHTERPRIEST WITH HACKBLADE in here! There's not going to be any points or votes or anything like a regular challenge, and you won't win anything other than the Blood God's favour, but I think it'll be cool to see what the community comes up with!

Without further ado, BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!

Will enter.

SLAUGHTERPRIEST WITH HACKBLADE! No miniature has been so worthy of capslock since CRASSUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT

ENTERING

Want a Crassus too for admech!!!
Missus Jan just ordered the #1 issue + Slaughterblade with Hackerpriest fig from Korea's (one and only) flgs. Mrs Jan is awesome
On a side note - nearly every single deathwatch product barring the Chaplain and termie captain are sold out there.

Yes!!!!!!! A SLAUGHTERBLADE WITH PRIESTHACK is also acceptable.

I will be entering even if I miss out on the White Dwarf.

Committed? I should be.

Hm. I don't know how I can sneak commissars into this one.

If manage to get my copy of WD this month, im in for sure.

Basing material.

Or, more appropriately, can you put a commissar’s hat on one? I think they’d do a decent job keeping the troops moving forward. Who needs a bolt pistol to enforce discipline when you have a HACKBLADE?!?

I'm already anticipating this being the most RIDICULOUS thread ever xD

Why on earth would you think that? There's nothing inherently ridiculous about the SLAUGHTERPRIEST WITH HACKBLADE!

Speaking of which, sitting down to paint mine now, all jokes aside this is a really, really wonderful sculpt. Full of menace, packed with detail, should be a blast to paint!

I love everything about this thread!

...I wonder

YES ZOBO! I would love to see it converted into a Digga

Commissar's cap on a bloody spiked ball?

I came here sad that Bottle beat me to the CRASSIUS ARMOURED ASSAULT TRANSPORT. Damn.

Unfortunately I have a friend who wants the mini, so I won't be joining in. But it's not all bad, since I'll be making some sweet sweet profit out of it

You know what this thread needs? More SLAUGHTERPRIEST WITH HACKBLADE! So here he is, the man, the myth, the legend, the SLAU... you get the idea...



Really enjoyed painting this one. My favourite part is definitely how he's a SLAUGHTERPRIEST, but I am also rather a fan of the fact he has a HACKBLADE. The WRATHHAMMER is also a much-overlooked part of the design, I feel... and yes, I did literally just dip said weapon in BFTBG, because this is not a model that in any way calls for subtlety!

I like it.

Not sure about the white helmet, but the blood is well used.

Not nearly enough EXCLAIMATION MARKS for effect. But yeah, the model is well painted

Haha! I was waiting for this

My white dwarf should be arriving sometime next week, so I'll be entering too!

Amazing Para! I thought I was quick off the mark as I have already built mine, but I come here to find you have already PAINTED yours! He looks awesome too. I knew your Bloodbound style would translate excellently onto this badass. Please tell me you're going to get Gorechosen so he has 4 badass friends to hang out with too! :-)

I'm not spending $20 (10 plus 10 for shipping) just to get a SLAUGHTERPRIEST WITH HACKBLADE! If I see it at my FLGS on Saturday (doubt it since it'll disappear quick I'm sure), I'll get one, since the magazine interests me in addition to the SLAUGHTERPRIEST WITH HACKBLADE.

We now return to our regularly scheduled SLAUGHTERPRIEST WITH HACKBLADE!!!!!!!!!!!! (that enough exclamation points for you guys?)

God I like that model....

and what a superb job Paradigm!!

although my FLGS hung up on me when I called asking if they had a SLAUGHTERPRIEST WITH HACKBLADE in stock...

Not sure why =(

maybe it was the batman voice?

Got mine today, built it, but I'm going to make it Slaanesh.
Or at least, not Khorne.
I'm leaving off his loincloth so we can see that gloriously OTT codpiece.

Hopefully get mine in the next coupleof days. Still can decide what to do with him. Really tempted to turn him into a monsterous admech construct......

It would be quite simple, there are only three Khorne icons. One tiny tag on his belt, one engraved on his helmet, and one on his loincloth that you can leave off anyway.
His arm has a mouth though.

You say 'the arm has a mouth', the Magos says 'you can jam a cable in there connected to his eye via the left lung and the job's a good'un!'

The question is, though, when is a SLAUGHTERPRIEST WITH HACKBLADE not a SLAUGHTERPRIEST WITH HACKBLADE?

his arm has a mouth??? ok - that's just awesome right there. reconsidering converting at all now. Armbite attack!!!

hope he's careful during certain activities. That's all I'm sayin.

his backhand packs quite a bite

Of course I had to go there. I'm a mom with three teenage boys.

In other news:

I got it I got it I got it!! lmao My FLGS came through and I just picked up my white dwarf with free model =D I was afraid I missed it

So, I'll put him together, arm and all this weekend and post him up here =D

Here's mine! I almost Chaos Marine-ified him, but instead may I present... The Aberrant Prime!





I converted and painted him in three hours. I used P3 paints and Army Painter Strong Tone wash.

The pose is a pain to photograph! May do a spinny video to better show it off.

That is a fantastic idea!!!

Awww man now I wish I hadn't already glued mine together lol

looks awesome!

I'm thinking Arco-flagellant. Just wondering is he big enough to scale up to Inq54.......

Not painted yet, but here's my WIP:



I wanted to have the chain attached to some sort of pet. The gryph-hound doesn't look quite right - feel like it should be straining at the leash/angry, rather than the imperious pose he has, but I couldn't find anything better in my bits box

EDIT: I've just realised what he reminds me of:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjCdB5p2v0Y

Hah! Before I even clicked on your YouTube link I thought "I bet this is the ________ video..." and I was right! (I shant spoil it for others)

Awesome idea nicky

WIP:



also working on my stormfiends, but mah SLAUGHTERPRIEST is in the foreground. I put his ball n chain on like that cuz um yeah I didn't look at the pictures I mean I liked it like that, looks like he's swinging it

I just got a SLAUGHTER PRIEST with a HACK BLADE so, I'll be posting my take on him shortly

I'll be entering this. Will post pics later.

Turns out they haven't even shipped mine and i wasn't home to know until today so hopefully i can still get one before they sell out

Chaos lord of Slaanesh

Proof!



I'm not doing anything unique with mine, but I'll try and post regular WIPs as it might interest those who have never worked with white undercoat before.

Ahaha oh man, damn. I picked up the White Dwarf 'cause I really wanted to paint the SLAUGHTERPRIEST!! with HACKBLADE!!! anyway (even though I have zero plans to keep it afterwards), but I was telling myself I'm not allowed to paint it until I finish painting my current model.

But now you guys might make me break that resolve, dangit. XD

Haven't painted mine yet, but thought I'd share my SLAUGHTERPRIEST WITH HACKBLADE, who I've turned into a Slaaneshi Chaos Lord


Excuse me sir, do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Saviour, Slaanesh?

Also sports a kick-ass crest gracing his helmet:

Some awesome conversions in here! The Genestealer is inspired, and the Slaneesh lords are very nicely done!

well I'm sufficiently jealous of you guys now ...still waiting for mine to be delivered...it'll probably take another week or so

love seeing all the vastly different takes on the same model though! nice work so far everyone!

Is anyone going to do one up as Kharn the Betrayer, just to spite GW for pricing him so absurdly?

"That price sucks...I'll use the free model you gave me instead".

I've already glued mine together, but seeing these conversion ideas, I'm tempted to buy another one. I've never converted anything, but this looks like quite a good place to start.

Wouldn't most head look too small though? He's a big bugger.

No moreso than it already does, I reckon. The head is not really any larger than, say, an unhelmeted Space Marine already, so other than stuff like elf or Guardsman heads, you should be all right. I'd hazard a guess pretty much any Bloodbound/Warriors of Chaos head would work fine.

haha...you guys are too good!

I was literally just coming here to ask about just how big he is, specifically, wondering if an ork boy head would work on him...I was going to try and do a face-swap with a helmeted ork head and a helmetless marine head/guardsman head or something...although that in itself might not work....hmm...

That sounds interesting. I'd like to see that.

Think it'll be a putrid blightking head for me.

I was thinking of trying to make him 40K but I don't think I have an army he would sit right in. No amount of converting is going to turn him into a Dark Angel or a Harlequin/Dark Eldar.

As for Age of Sigmar, I play Sylvaneth, so that's not going to work either. I have a box of Kataphron Destroyers I haven't built yet, so maybe I could raid that and turn him into some kind of cyborg. They might be around the right size.

I better make sure I don't use any bits I'd need for the destroyers though. That's a £30 box I bought just because I liked the miniatures, and which I really couldn't afford, so I can't render them unbuildable!

I don't really have a bits box, unfortunately, as I don't really do conversions.

Frankly, DE sounds the easiest option, he'd make a great Grotesque. Remove the hands and graft on some weapons (the flail would actually work just attached to an arm stump instead of a hand), take the horns off the mask and leave off the Khorne belt, maybe add some tubes or wires and Bob's your Haemonculus!

Anyone got any ideas for fitting one onto a 25mm square?

@methebest: maybe put him on a 50mm square, and just take up 4 spaces, like the Grail Reliquary???
a large cork "rock" that flares at the top could work, depending on the guys he needs to rank-up with...

cheers
jah

A rock might do it, will have a play and see if its doable, hopfuly wont have to resort to using a 50mm.

methebest wrote:

Probably won't happen unless you put something else on the base that has significant over hang. He pretty much touches both edges of a 40 mm round.

Yeah, if you want a 25mm base model this guy ain't it.

Yeah but i think it might be fine if its all on one side and I'd just be forced to always have him on one side of a unit he'd be in.

Right!...just finished building/converting him, now he just needs a paintjob!

Hackblade, Hackblade, Squish!!

Had fun converting my free model - gonna try some new skin techniques on him

I went subtle which is a little ironic for Khone dude

Finished mine! - allow me to introduce...

DIGGANOB WITH HACKCHOPPA!!!

Been working on mine:



Very very tempted to start Bloodbound...

I'm definitely going to throw my name in to this one!! Will attach a proof image when I work out how



EDIT: I worked it out!

Got another slaughter priest with the new WD so made a Tzeentch Lord in addition to my other one.

@Bottle - looking good so far! love the skin and the metal

@SonOfSigvald - Khorne won't be happy about that! ...looks great though! that colour scheme works surprisingly well on him...the wing and the headswap really work nicely too

I finished up my Slaughterpriest with HACKBLADE and WRATH-HAMMER today. This is the first 28 mm mini I've painted in years, and I am definitely rusty. Everything is so tiny, the big pics show off every little mistake and sloppy bit, but I'm happy with how he looks in hand. This was also my first time trying to paint a darker skin tone, and I think it worked, but the highlight color stands out maybe a little too much.

My proof pic, not started painting yet. The head looks a bit wrong though.

Zapp-priest with splat-ball

Haha...nice! I wasn't brave enough to go full ork on mine....I'll be interested to see how it turns out!

great entries so far, the tzeench lord and the digganob are really great.

Haha...nice! I wasn't brave enough to go full ork on mine....I'll be interested to see how it turns out!

I must admit I was a bit nervous chopping up such a nice model. The proportions seem all out of whack now, I currently trying a few different heads. I tried a nob head and it just looked crazy, his head was about as large as his torso, gretchin heads are just too small, perhaps something in a helmet as you've done would work out better.

the head you're using in the pic doesn't look too badly proportioned honestly...although I almost want to see him with a grot head now! - he could be one of Zodgrod Wortsnagga's "Supa-Runtz"!

I know what you mean though, I was kinda worried about the proportions of the head I used too at first, but it works, just (I used the "mini-nob" head from the boyz box, then carved the ork head out of it, and stuck a trimmed-down space marine sergeant head in there - I'm still surprised that any part of that process worked at all )

awesome stuff guys!

I'm almost done with mine. I did go and buy another lol I've seen so many conversions now I really want to make either a Skaven one, or an Ork one (might actually make a good Painboy or Weirdboy, considering how much I hate the GW model of the latter)

Not sure if I'll get round to painting anytime soon, but I did enjoy the build.

I've turned mine into a Nurgle Renegade Packmaster.

In his left hand are two collars. He's just let his hounds off the leash.

I get the sense that these will be broken before too long.....

That's my favourite conversion so far. I think the actual model is a bit crap too, so that's saying something! Can't wait to see you paint that one.

oh wow...another totally different take on this model! looking good so far, look forward to seeing some paint on him!

No time to do his base unfortunately, gotta dash off. Going out of town for a couple weeks. He's as done as he's going to get for now.

@alanmckenzie

really nice conversion, I love it, I'm trying to convince my brother to do something similar with his slaughterpriest.

I think the head you used works great. I've tried it on mine and really liked it but I don't want to copy so I've opted for another. Its sounds quite a faff getting the space marine head in the nobs helmet but I think it looks really good, congrats. I took some photos of the heads I tried but id didn't go with any of these:

same head as posted before, but I've cut off the skull + hair... I've painted that head perhaps 7 or 8 times, I want him to look a little different to my boyz =)



just trying to figure our if I should to the torn up marines as blood angels (my other army) or ultras, the ground is yellow/cream dessert colour (i used for all my bases as my board is themed like this) so I want something to contrast. Perhaps a green marine as I want the blood spatter I will inevitably daub onto it to stand out.

I've got mine at home. I'll get a picture of him later.

hmm...I'd lean towards a mangled ultramarine myself...well I mean, who doesn't love seeing a mangled ultramarine ...and the blue would probably be a good contrast to the sandy/yellowish base, green ork, and red blood splatter (of course, I might be a bit biased here, my boyz have looted 2 ultramarine rhino's to use as trukks, and an ultramarine drop pod to use as the howdah on a squiggoth )

I think the marine should be a Blood Angel, which would complement your other army.

Well, I went and bought the September White Dwarf, so now I have a SLAUGHTERHACK WITH PRIESTBLADE. I mean a SLAUGHTERBLADE WITH HACKPRIEST. No, I really mean a SLAUGHTERPRIEST WITH HACKBLADE! I haven't even decided yet on what I'm going to use the model for, let alone started assembling him. I may use him as a Chaos Lord, but most likely he'll be a Herald of Khorne for my KDK army. If I go the Herald route, I'll probably assemble the model stock, but paint his skin to match my Bloodletters (in other words, bright red with orange highlights). If I have a spare Bloodletter head, I might just use it as well (although it'll most likely look kinda funny on this beefy guy...).

WORK IN PROGRESS!!! RAAARRRGH!

Boom! All done:



I went all out with this model and tried to up my painting a few notches. Not only learnt to snow base but also bought a load of plinths!

Nice work on the areas of scarring.

Sweet work on the metals and the skin (ie everything eh?!!) best one I've seen thus far. You should enter him over on BoW; they've got a SlaughterFella with HackThingy comp running there.
Mine is still unbuilt, unloved and in its baggie o.O

Basically... wow! That's about all one can say about that epic piece!

beautiful work... really nice bottle... =)

Thanks so much guys :-) It really means a lot to hear some kind words, I think you can see how much hard work I put into this fella. Gonna aim to enter some Golden Demons next year (only aiming for a finalist pin, mind you) so this was my push to see what I can do right now and where I need to improve.

PS, you guys should all buy some plinths! That one cost me £2.50 or so. Spray it black and it's ready to go :-)

Awesome inspiring work going on here!
Been working on one too, and found this thread.

Feh, that ball was on-sides and he should have known better then to call the foul. Got what he deserved.

Love the mini. Not every day you see someone swinging around by their own entrails.

I've eventually got mine done, zapp-boss with splat-ball, slaughter-zapp with boss-ball, klaw-priest with hack-ball. Something like that... I'll likely use him as a warboss with powerklaw. It was my first time using the blood spatter technique, (I never dared before). I really enjoyed it but perhaps I went too far. heh

I've taken the images with the camera on my new phone and I think its compressing them too much, I need to find an alternative...

Gruesome, brutal stuff! I love it!

oh man, that looks even better than I thought it would! nice work!

Very cool, I can't wait to see how this turns out!

I've finished my SLAUGHTER PRIEST WITH HACKBLADE now. I entered him into a painting competition at my local GW. Came nowhere. I'll get some photos of the shameful results of my paint-slopping and post them up soon, so you can all marvel at my hubris.

Heres mine...

Fantastic!

ooh...man that's smooth...nice work!

The nmm is great, the smooth blending on the armour is absolutely amazing, the subtle redness around the chest scar works really well, and the base is spectacular. Quite the first post.

I can kind of sense what must have been your frustration with that stupid bit of rock under the skull. It's impossible to make it look completely right on a more scenic base, isn't it? I had problems with it when I painted my SLAUGHTERPRIESTS. I don't feel like I solved the problem. If it's any consolation, I wouldn't have noticed your rock if I hadn't walked in from trying to use all manner of washes and glazes to try and blend mine in with the base.

Yeah, that's just stunning! I think it even beats Bottle's, which I thought was going to remain untouched as the unofficial SLAUGHTERPRIESTIEST SLAUGHTERPRIEST that ever did SLAUGHTERPRIEST! Both are superb, though!

It's always good to see Aussie commission painters turn up.

Might have to get around to painting mine after scrolling through this thread.

Thanks for the comments on my Slaughterpriest guys, he was a joy to paint, such a great sculpt, and glad you are liking him. Will probably put him up for sale at some point (got 3 more of them to paint yet)

All of your conversions inspired me.

So, here is my first every conversion attempt. I wanted the slaughterpriest to work in my 40k collection. I apologize for the images. This is the first time I have tried to take pictures of a miniature. Also, the first time that I have ever posted. Feedback is welcome.

Finished my offering! Unfortunately I've not got any other basing materials with me at the moment so I've currently only got the texture on the base, but I doubt I'll be able to get the rest done before the deadline!!

No deadline for this one, it's just a bit of fun, so be sure to post it again when it's based! In the mean time, nice work!

@bluekinger: awesome conversion, can't wait to see paint! Welcome to Dakka!

With the new Traitor's Hate formations making me want a Jump Pack Lord the first issue of my subscription was very well timed.

@Bluekinger, that's a really nice conversion, it really looks like a cool CSM chosen or Lord, rather than just a fantasy mini with a backpack strapped on.

Same goes for Eldarain too!

Here's my finished SLAUGHTERPRIEST WITH HACKBLADE











edit - made the photos bigger, but they no longer link to my gallery page.

Here's my second guy. I've stuck different bits on him, so he's not a SLAUGHTERPRIEST any more, and he doesn't have a HACKBLADE. So now I guess he's a SLAUGHTERGUY WITH ROBOT ARM.

@Feltmonkey: Dayum... I am liking that second guy a lot!

I love the head you used. Really makes it look like a pit fighter or some sort of combat servitor. Awesome work!

Thanks, both of you.

Most of the parts I used came from a box of Cult Mechanicus Kataphron Destroyers/Breachers. They really leant themselves to the miniature.

That work beautifully. Been wanting to do something similier for my admechs. Given me great food for thought

Good effort on the conversion there. Needs paint now

All of the conversions have been top notch. Mine is still bagged until I get to a copy of codex Genestealer Cult so I can choose the right weapons for an Aberrant conversion. Loved the idea form the first page, so now the codex is out I'll be holding fire to make sure he is built legal.

Apologies if this constitutes thread necromancy but I thought it relevant enough.

Finally managed to paint my SLAUGHTERPRIEST WITH HACKBLADE!!! which I posted unpainted earlier in this thread.

Fairly happy with it. Tried out a few techniques which I wasn't familiar with. Some worked pretty well, some less so. Disappointed that my initial gloss coat went on very heavily right at the end there. It seemed to drown a bit of my weathering work.


Generally happy with overall look though as I try develope my style a bit. As usual with these things, looks good as long as you don't look to close. I like the overall appearance.

I'm afraid the photo isn't the best, but you get the idea.

Cheers

Great stuff, Alanmckenzie and Felsmonky!

Ack, I'm a little late to the party, I hope this is okay!

So I finally finished my SLAUGHTERPRIEST with HACKBLADE!!!!!!!! He was fun to do but ugh took me WAY too long. XD
