Hi there, this will only be a tiny log about how I paint this squad of 10 of Chaos-god Khornes crimson cronies. These are mainly based on regular SM parts with the FW upgrade pack for Khorne Berzerkers:



They're very WIP at this point, all that is done so far is the red armour really and even that seems to need some final highlights. I got these basecoated, hence the other spots of colour here and there beyond the red.

Comments, critique, questions and hints are welcome as always.

Lookin good so far, any chance of some closeups?

Wait, 'very WIP'? Holy gak, that's what I like my finished models to look like.

Lovely! Too bad, you're only doing ten.

@model collector: Dang, forgot about the closeups now. I'll post these along with a later update, alright? They aren't too spectacular at this point anyway.

@Tim the Biovore: Thanks. ^^

@Munch Munch!: Oh, ten is just about right for a nice little project. Maybe I'll do more at some later point, it's up to the client. But if you insist on seeing more of those painted by me, you can always buy some and send them to me.


Update!


Red parts were a bit more defined with finishing highlights, eyes were painted, metallics were basecoloured and washed (probably need another wash though), backpacks have been painted to 50%.

Bloggery stuff!
What an annoying day. Emotional imbalance stopped me from painting more. I totally could have finished these guys this weeked but nooo... :mad:

Anyhow, C&C welcome as always. It's great to get feedback. Do you think that the armour looks good enough now?

Ah, if only I was rich...

The extreme highlighting on the brass of the berzerker on the very right looks ace.

@Munch Munch!: Yus, I'd like to be rich as well. :p

@Shaman: Thanks. Glad I got the metallics mostly done on all of the guys now.

Update!

Aren't too spectacular, way to make a guy's self-esteem drop. If my spectacular was yours the world would be a dangerous place, lol.

Nice work, lovin the reds.

looks great. I don't know why GW even sells the old berserkers. These look way better. The heads are so much more current looking.

Gorgeous job man, really nice standard and consistency across the group.

These are some really nicely painted models, you actually make me want to start up my old berzerker army again, hmm..

no chain axes? =/

Awesome work i'dd say, makes me wanna step up my game

Everything about them looks great - the metalics and reds are beautiful.

No Axes hurts though

@model collector: well put, Sir. Close-ups will follow.

@Samus_aran115: It's all changing styles really...

@MajorTom11: Thanks!

@itsonlyme: Yus, they are neat miniatures. Slap on some FW parts and you're good to go.

@Qualude: Don't care much about chain axes, they seem to be such a 3rd edition thing...

@Tsurugi: Good to hear that.

@kaiservonhugal: Cheers, as for chain axes - look above.

Thanks for commenting everyone!


By the way, I'm setting up a blog at the moment over at http://sigur.tabletopgeeks.com/. I will document and discuss my painting adventures there. Would be great if you could give me any suggestions on what you'd like to see in such a blog, leave some comments and so on.

I do appreciate the excellant standard of painting you have put into the zerkers, and they do look really super, I just think that they could look a teensy bit dirtier. It might be the light or something, but the brass seems a little too shiny and the red, to clean. Obviously it isnt my commision and they are great as it is but my little suggestion would be to get a bit more grime on them, these guys should be too busy charging off for fresh skulls and victims to bother wiping the the blood and brains from their power armour!

@Trilobite: Thanks for the comment! You're right, the metallics were a bit too shiny on the last update, I toned them down a bit. Hope you like them better now.



Heya, update:






(close-ups for model collector)

The World Eaters are finished so far. Just not too sure about the blood on the swords. I'm really not used to paint blood, I don't think it looks good unless it's done really, really well, it doesn't fit with how I like Chaos Space Marines or Space Marines to look like and I hate messing up perfectly fine paintjobs (like on the chainsword casings) after they're finished. The client asked for a "little" blood on the weapons. Ha-ha. What do you think happens when you swing a chainsaw at someone? Right, you get LOTS of blood ALL over the chainsaw. Anyhow, I hope it looks alright.

As for other stuff, I currently am trying to wrap up the current commissions, so...

...oh right, my internet connection is jerking around the past few days and it's AMAZINGLY annoying. It usually goes all well but sometimes, it just won't work for five minutes. Really, really upsetting. So I have to just kill some time...hrm...oh hey, I changed a tire today. That was pretty manly. What else...I got a furniture beetle in my window frame. Threw some poison at it two days ago but I can still hear it munching my wooden window frame. Should be dead soon tough, otherwise I'll have to throw more poison at it. So, what have you been do...

Ah, the internet connection works again, so here, a little something else:





I really understand why some people refuse to paint vehicles. It's pretty tedious. I like that red globe thing in the middle though. Has a "attack its weak point for massive damage"-feel to it so I painted it in a red, glowy fashion.

Hope you like the colourful pictures.

Looking, really nice. If you want to make it look like real fresh blood, I would put some water effects on it.

Hmm, splendid work, but not enough glowing runes for me



then again, I'm a Tzeentch lover so I want glowing runes on EVERYTHING.

You were talking about the blood, there are some excellent gore tutorials on GW. Well, I actually think they don't explain as well as they should, but the end results look fabulous. Let me find a link.

EDIT

Found it!
