Well...it's been a while, and what with real life finally getting out of the way I thought I'd get some opinions on my current project.

I'm building (and eventually painting) a Pre-heresy truescale version of Kharn for one of my gaming club. All he specified was "Big, Badass, Helmetless, Chainaxe and no armour on the left arm", so i had a lot of creative freedom.

Many hours of research, and a huge leap in sculpting i came up with this as a representation of everyones favourite Psycho (with thanks of course to Doghouse, Synapse et al for the inspiration!)

WIP



I'vegot some paint on him now....not quite finished (still need to smooth the transitions on the armour) but this is after about 35 hours work. My first attempt at lunchbox's glazing method, it's turned out much better than i could've hoped.
As some of you may notice i completely changed the chest armour, giving him a much smoother Mk3 chestplate and adding the WE logo. He's also been "dinged" in a few places with my dremel to represent battle damage, I wanted it to look like he'd just charged through a wall of the palace!

Now I just need to decide if he should have blood splatter, and if so how much...obviously as an assault captain he'll have some on the chainaxe and and the left side of his armour, but how much would be too much? I don't want to cover up the armour and hours of paintwork, but i still want to give the impression of a frothing blood crazed loony...

anyway, enough rambling, here's the pics

nice one

Nice one indeed. A few drops of blood on that nice white armour perhaps? He looks squeaky clean at the moment...

I second the blood. Overall this is great!

nice, very nice

Not bad, but I think his armour was supposed to be almost totally blue.

i dig

Why would he not have armor on his left arm, personal preference to the owner of the model or fluff reasons?

Perhaps he should be given a wash or dusting of brown on the shiny white armour in addition to the blood?

really cool

A wash of Devlan Mud would make his armor look great!

Why's he missing his Plasma Pistol?

Maybe put his old short-bunny eared helmet in two pieces on the base?
