I like that idea Asylum Inmate, as long as he is careful not to make it too look too Biel-Tan if you go down that route though.... hmmm thorns, blood droplets from stbbing yourself on said thorns.... khorne likes blood..... would make using BA parts a good option for all the blood iconography 
And also +1 for the brutal looking axe, which mini is it from??

Asylum_Inmate, dantay_xv - Thanks for commenting! I'm not confident enough with freehand to make a Thorn icon look as good as it would need to be, so I might make a decal design - I'm much better with Photoshop than a paintbrush! I am concerned about the inevitable Dark Eldar referencing by using either DE bitz or decals... not at all sure where to go with this, so I'm going to paint the boys up over the next few weeks and not worry about it, and see what my brain comes up with though there *may* be a model coming with a barbed whip... ...Blood... must have blood... The axe is from a metal Chaos Khorne Exalted Hero - now only available in Finecast yuk!

I would imagine a a thorn pattern would fairly simple if you avoid trying to make it actually look like thorns and treat it more like a camoflage pattern, you can be more free-form with the way you approach it. Basically you would be giving the impression of thorns instead of actually pating thorns. If you want to give your photoshop skills a work out try painting it onto the most recent colour test pic and see how it looks.

tipios - Thanks!
Due to work and a few other reasons, I am not going to attempt to paint the current 13 models in the Legion of Thorns for Saturday's Australian Armies on Parade entries in the next 6 days.
As much as I really wanted to do an entry this year, I do not want to rush them and spoil the conversions with a bad paintjob.
I plan to continue work on the Legion for next year's Armies on Parade, and also make a start on some other projects.
Keep the comments and critiques coming Dakka!

Not so happy with the home-made multi-melta, so spent the evening knocking up the autocannon in the bottom of the pic:
"Say Hello to my little friend!"

If he turns and faces his army, then the cloak will be the right way!!
The auto cannon is very nice. The multi melta is not too bad, what don't you like about it?

Bigfish - correct, that's a Loota bit - and due to project hyperactivity - that is, my imagination is a lot faster than my building/painting - I have lots of bitz, including Orks...
I bought a box of Loota's and Burna's to go into a planned Orks http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/328959.page vs Marines diorama which I stopped working on to concentrate on the Marines in my - Ironclad - blog, and the Legion of Thorns (see sig for links - shameless plug!)
I only ended up building one Loota (not shown in the Ork blog)... one day I might go back and paint the Orks up, cos they were fun to make!
