That's what I was going to do!

This is a good example of what happens if you don't keep your protective runes in check when deep striking, it leaves you open to disease.

Obliterator number 1 - Captain Stern

I went for a colour that none of the other chaos gods use so he would not be mistaken for a normal terminator.

i really like the glow effect you did on the plasma. im not a huge fan of green for plasma, but then i have yet to paint any og my own and have no idea what I would do with it.
Looks great!

Thanks ZephyrRey this is the third time I've tried painting a plasma weapon, I'm happy this one actually worked out ok. The other two nearly put me off painting them forever and they were only pistols.

The last few days I've been painting up some test minis which you will find below. I was going to also do a Night Lords mini but with the rumours going round of a Chaos Legion Codex about March time next year its put a big dent into my esteem for this project.

Its great if its true but it means I don't really want to be buying models that I may no longer be able to use in a few months time.

I have put in an order for my small World Eaters force (900 points), I'm quite excited about doing them.

The Night Lords will go on hold with The Reborn and the Flawless Host. I'll still be painting anything I need for my Thousand Sons though and anything I currently have waiting to be painted.

After my Khorne force (which will include a Flawless Host sorcerer) I'll be looking at either doing Skyrar's Dark Wolves based on the Space Wolves codex, might start a separate blog for them or I'll turn traitor and start looking at doing some of my Imperial projects in my other blog in my signature. If I don't see any more rumours of the Chaos Legion Codex by the end of the year (it will take me to November painting all my Khorne stuff) I'll pick up on the Chaos stuff again.

Ok enough of my rambling here's the test minis, note they are badly constructed have random super glue splashes and missing bits of armour! They are left over parts from a Thousand Sons auction I won off ebay, I have given them new heads and a few other bits but they are in a bit of a state.

Flawless Host





World Eaters



Skyrar's Dark Wolves front





Also trying out something different for the bases with these guys as they will be a separate army, I'll also be doing battle damage for these as well using grey_deaths sponge technique.

I know I need to work on my blending of the purples and greys a bit more but I didn't want to go over these guys again.

Let me know what you think

I like the face tatto, not sure about the trim colour on that one!

I like the world eater, thats the look I want on my khorn dread!!! nice and dark.

The blue trim on the dark wolf is tasty too!

I think the flawless host one looks great!

I've just started a Thousand Sons army but Im in the conversion stages of everything right now. Your work is inspirational! Good work. I hope mine are semi as good looking as yours when there done...

Thanks tipios The trim colour on the Flawless Host marine I'm not 100% sure on yet either. I might try blending up instead of using two different colours.

Glad you like the Khorne colours, I've just got lots of stuff in the post this weak so will be building a lot of Korne stuff over the next few weekends.

Just got a Spce Wolves codex off ebay so will be working out what to build for them at some point.

Thanks Spartan glad you like the Flawless Host marine.

Good luck on your Thousand Sons, I'm sure they will look great.

Heres a peak at all the stuff I've been building up for my Khorne force.

These will all be World Eater Berserkers and there is also a Contemptor dread in there some where as well.



Still waiting for a few more bits from America skulls for the dread and a few alternitive close combat weapons for the zerkers.

I've just finished another TS marine to fill in some points for my 1500 army and also finished a Sumo wrestler which is in my mini project blog, link in my sig.

Still have an objective marker to go for the Thousand Sons then it will be time to start building zerkers.

Looking forward to the zerkers

Can't wait for the dread What skulls are you getting from America??

GiraffeX wrote:It's going to be a close combat dread. I might see if you can fit in a Khorne Berserker head, that might look good.

Yeah Dreadknights are nice I want to build something like the GW Daemon Prince/Knight using bits from both kits for an Iron Warrior DP. I plan on using different wings though.

From GW's site converted by Donald McCallum

That's my basis for my daemon prince... but I'm going to create rocket boosters in his greaves and his back and then add some guns and a minigun to make him look like war machine

tipios wrote:Can't wait for the dread What skulls are you getting from America??

Yeah I'm hoping its going to work as planned, I'm getting some Skeleton Archer heads.

Sounds good Pluxtheduck, rocket boosters in his greaves sounds like a good idea.

Iron Man? .... No Warmachine

Warmachine kicks ass

@GiraffeX - I look forward to WIP pics of that project

@tipios +1 to that

@pluxtheduck - Hope we can see some WIP of your DP too I've dot a GK dreadKnight too, I was going to do a DP but I changed my mind am going to have a possessed driver, not too sure how that is going to work yet!!!

I have another update for you today.

The first is my third Thousand Sons objective marker.



The other thing I have today is my first World Eaters Berserker



I wasn't expecting to finish him as I only started painting him today.

There must always be blood for the blood god and I feel this mini fitted the role perfectly, he will be a normal berserker in the unit.

Those look fantastic GiraffeX! The arc objective marker is really neat and you're right about the berserker... really fits in well with the unit and the whole Khorne thing.

Thanks took ages to file off the imperial eagle from his front lol, I wish he had been done in finecast...

Just wanted to say thanks to the person who voted for my Necrodefiler in this months painting comp http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/386738.page still time for others to vote there are some great entries this month.

Looking very good, the World Eater looks great, I'm not too keen on the Flawless host though.

I am loving the third objective marker, just make sure a human in a brown hat with a bullwhip does not come and steal it...

ahhh Dr Jones

Really impressive! a perfect mix of mec and biological body!

Are your Berzerkers going to be running Blood Angel rules?

How did you do the gold on the objective maker? looks nice. The beserker lloks nice, did you consider have some blood spillling out of the cup?

Thanks moonshine, I do need to work on the Flawless Host I think the purple bits don't quite look right. I'm happy with the pinkish side.

Cheers, I don't think I'm going to pull off something that good again for a while.

Spartan 117 wrote:Are your Berzerkers going to be running Blood Angel rules?

Hi Spartan the Berserkers will be running normal berserker rules, maybe in the future they could be used as Death Company marines as I want to base my Night Lords on the Blood Angel codex depending on what happens with the rumoured Chaos Legions codex.

tipios wrote:How did you do the gold on the objective maker? looks nice. The beserker lloks nice, did you consider have some blood spillling out of the cup?

The gold on the objective marker was a dry brush of Bright Bronze over a black undercoat and then dry brushed with Polished Gold and a very fine dry brush of Ice Blue (all Vallejo). Yeah I have had thoughts of putting some water effect in the top of the cup as there is a slight indent so it would look ok and have a bit spilling out. I'll give it a go over the weekend if I have time.

On an alternative note for those of you familiar with the FW Contemptor dreadnought and if not the pic is below, does anyone have any ideas on how to Khorne this mean machine up. I'm looking at purchasing one with two powerfists and I'm trying to think where to add skulls etc.

I have given thought to doing the same thing, so i will be watching to see how you go about it. I was mostly thinking of adding longer more rippy claw, the obigitory chains and pointy bits and maybe sculpting some faces/skulls/icons on various armor plates. Good luck! I'll stay tuned!

Yeah second the more claw like fists, perhaps the khorne symbol on the knee pad and where the name is on this one perhaps sculpt the bottom half of a skull with the helmet forming the top of the skull.
