However, on topic regarding your own plog. What other unit entries can we expect? I would love to see some old jetbikes, raptors and also vehicles of any kind

Well well well, now there is a question. I dont like thinking too far ahead but, here is the brief idea of what I'll be doing. -

1. Making the current squad I'm working on up to 10 marines.

2. Building a second Dreadnaught with big rusty smasher Claws.

3. Making 5 more havocs so I have a squad of 4 rockets and 4 auto cannons

4. Making use of the 30 oop Raptor jump packs I have......

5. Some sort of HQ unit.

In what order, im ot sure, but thats the plan haha.

This is amazing work! I love the unique and characterful conversions. I want to acquire that mutations chart now!

This is what chaos SHOULD be.

Hey thanks, as for the mutation chart, someone actually posted it somewhere on this blog- cant remember the page number sorry.

Now that sounds like a good plan, especially the raptors

Hello again-

Still plodding on, I havent had much time of late but I hope to pick up the pace again soon

I've finshed painting the Khorne guy with the massive chainsword , pic-





Maybe went a bit OTT with the blood splats... but he is khorne so I dont care haha.

I have also been playing about with the idea of Raptors, I found this old havoc model, dont know why, he just felt raptory? pic-



I know I didnt do much to him but I didnt think he needed it.

I've been working on the Cool guy Monkeytroll gave me, he'll be leading the havocs with auto cannons when I expand the unit into 2. pic -



Thanks for looking!

Love those old minis... used to have that last one myself!

I like the blood on It, looks almost part of the armor

Looking great, TR! Keep it up!

Khorne guy looks cool, it would only have been OTT if you'd covered the entire model, splattering just one half shows considerable restraint

Raptor guy does sem to go with the raptor-pack so all good there.

Jezzail dude looking good - that's actually one of the few mini's I started painting without converting at all as I liked the original so much. But I still have another for choppy-cutty duties

Looks great! I actually thought the blood splats were a subtle weathering effect, like areas of rust and overuse. Works well either way though! The bone effect on the horns is stunning. Love what you're doing with these guys - I've never seen so much potential in the older models as you seem to bring out in them!

Your right the Havoc does go with the pack. I think it's the contrast between the straight lines and the curve combined with the elongated head which make it work. The Jezzail guy is good and the Khorne bloke looks like an utter nutter. Hmm that might be an interesting idea for a posessed squad combining the daemon bitz and the posessed bitz together for a posessed squad for a specific God.

paintjob on that model is great!

massiley repping the old skool stuff.
peace

@ Gitsplitta - Yea, really like that last one, think it'll not be long before I paint that guy.

@ SelvaggioSaky - Hey there, thanks mate- I put both his sides in the pictures so you get the idea from the blood splats to the normal armour.

@ Moltar - Thanks! I will try too haha.

@ monkeytroll - Half covered in gore is okay? I'll remember that! I was unsure if to chop the Jezzail guy as I do love the orignal model, but he had to fit in so....choppy choppy!!

@ Scarper - Hey there, thanks - Blood splats/rust as long as it looks okay it'll do for me haha.

@ Llamahead - hehe sounds like your getting all arty on me there!! thanks for your words !

@ Rogue Wolves - Thanks!

@ Spudkins - Any fan of the old stuff is okay by me! Peace back at you!



To continue my little painting drive I finshed the fat nurgle guy, tho I do have to repaint/rework his tentacles, I spent ages blending them - then spoil it by giving them a massive pink highlight - i'll sort it next time, any who pic -



Thanks for looking

Sweet... classic paint job TR.

Sweet paintjobs on those classic models. Keep it up!

Thanks guys- don't worry I have the painting bug again so I hope to make progress! Which is slightly annoying as I have a work dead line on Monday haha!

I'm afraid the deadline will have to be ignored, this stuff is far too cool. =] Whats next on the painting agenda then?

Fat nurgle guy looks cool - I'm guessing you didn't roll on the SOD chart for that name?

Metallics caught the light a bit better in that pic, shows the nice contrast between it and the armour.

Is the little jester banner from a Mordheim fig?

@J-Paint - heh I'll take that in mind and thanks . Next painted should be the hooded guy with the flail and plasma pistol.

@monkeytroll - yea not one of my better names haha. Now the jester banner - its been in my bits box for years but I believe in came from a wand of an orc shaman wyven rider.

Been away this week, was hoping for an update and you`ve delivered

The havoc-turned-raptor is most excellent!

R

One of my favorite Khorne models of all time:



Swapping the sword for the Chainsword is such a simple but completely powerful conversion. I genuinely think that Khorne would approve.

Very cool.

Great work!

The great work continues!

Hey there again - Thanks for your comments and prodding me in the direction of my painting bench…. Btw Boom, 1000 posts! Where did the letters go?



Okay, Monday came and went so painting time! I finished off the very odd looking Slaanesh champion who decided to go to battle trouser less…. Bless him! . pics-





I painted his skin twice, first time it looked horribly wrong – he had the complexion of an Elf!!

You know how it is, finish five guys… you need the group shot right? Pic –



I will add another 5 Marines to these guys in the future, but I have more pressing matters at the moment, like….. what to do with this thing?-



As I’m sure you’re aware, this is the old Blood Slaughterer of Khorne, it was in a terrible state but after some work it’s come out in great condition. To be honest I’m weighing up my options –

1. Sell it on (anyone know how much these roughly go for on eBay??)

2. Was thinking about using it as a Chaos Spawn until I remembered how truly awful they are….

3. Enhance the parts into a Dreadnought (cons against this are I already have two Dreads and I’m unsure of damaging a classic model)

Or

4. Enhance the parts into a Lord of Khorne on counts as Bike (cons against see 3.), did at one point think lord of Khorne on Juggernaut, but again, Juggernauts are awful!

Anyway,

Thanks for looking!!

Man you've got some cool old minis! Nostalgia-city baby!!

Thanks I'm determined to clear my bitz box of rt stuff. Some models deserve to be painted!

New addition looks cool, like the fact you went for a trouserless look, very slaaneshi

As for that blood slaughterer - sell it on. They go for about 10pence on e-bay these days, but I'll throw you 20p as I like you

It's a cool model, but tricky in a counts-as way. Personally I'd probably use the arms on a couple of marines, the torso/track on another and whels in the bits box if they didn't go with the torso. But that's just me

I like the khornish rider idea though.

Gotta be worth 20 quid - I never liked the model though - what kinda demon has wheels?
