Thanks Gits. I'm quite proud of the heat effect it came out really well in the end.

Cheers happygolucky I wasn't sure but really like them now as well.

Ok heres another WIP shot of the first Rhino, we are going to have a look at the rear side this time!



Now what do you think? The Blood letter is holding onto a chain mount attached to the door to look as though its being opened and hes about to jump out. You will have to imagine it with the top hatches on and being dark inside. Well that's not true if I can make miracles happen there will be a red led light behind him on the far side of the compartment.

As there's not much love for my Rhino yet I'll show you a WIP pick of my Khorne Daemon Prince. I've been painting him while I've been waiting for the washes to dry on the Berserkers. There's enough paint now to show you what he's currently looking like.

Raaarrrrr

OH... now he's nice.... You can make one of those for me and I'll start building a Chaos army around him!

Really great work here in this thread!! That model is especially fantastic! And the obliterator too!!

Some nice work in here GiraffeX! Will the prince be getting wings, or will he be walking?

Thanks for the replys I thought he might catch a few peoples attention

Need to finish the last four Berserkers now before he or the Rhino has any more work done on them.

CommissarKhaine he will be on foot with the close combat dreadnought, I did consider wings but the only ones I like are the Zombie Dragon / Terrorgheist ones and you cant pick those up on ebay or the bits sites.

Now that I said that I had a quick check on ebay again and there are some on there, I curse thee lol. Now I must find more funds for the blood god. At this point I'm also wishing I pinned him to his base but I got him before I started my pinning craze.

Both the rhino and the FW daemon prince look great man!

Thanks glad you like them, the Rhino is nearly finished the doors should arrive tomorrow and the battery's for the LED. Still undecided on the blood letter though, I was going to have him inside the Rhino so when you open the rear door he would be ready to charge at you but he doesn't even fit in their lying down.

I wasn't going to use the DP in my doubles event but I could drop the Slaanesh sorceress and include him instead as I have the extra 10 points needed free. That would make it a pure World Eater force but adds another model to my painting list, means I need to get a pair of wings as soon as possible as they need to be shipped from the US.

Tried getting your hands on an old Balrog for wings? Anyway, nice work, I'll be keepin' an eye on this blog

Awesome stuff man. Pity that page 2 seems to have been sucked into the warp.

I've not really looked into them, they have them for sale on the GW site separately from the model, good find I'll keep them in mind.

I'm hoping I don't need to do much GS work to add wings as the back is already undercoated so will give it less of a hold, I will pin them though for sure.

Cheers Godless-Mimicry glad you like whats been done so far, lots more to go yet. Page two is working fine for me at the moment, I know the site has been up and down quite a bit in the last few hours, try again when you get another chance.

Your Daemon Price is intense!!! Subbed and will be back!

too bad blood letters can't ride in rhinos...

Thanks, glad to have you onboard

Yeah it is and I know why now, its because they dont fit and thats just one no chance for a unit. I think the only model that does fit in there so far is my cyber grot.

Its all going on today, I got my super sexy Rhino doors from the Warmill boys and my batterys for the LEDs. Of course I got my doors on the Rhino and spent most of the afternoon playing with the LED lights as you do when you get a new toy.

I now realise that I don't like working with LEDs due to the wiring being to small and fiddly, really stresses me and out and we all know stress is badddd.

So a few shots this is the Rhino with the LED inside, its not quite the effect I was after, you cant see the bulbs white light in real life.



This is the Rhino currently with the LEDs removed



Now should I leave the Khorne symbol as it is, looks quite nice or should I undercoat it and paint it? I cant make up my mind so thought I'd see what you think.

Tomorrow I'll show some unpainted doors and hatches from Warmill when I can get some daylight shots, guys if your reading this I'll post them in your thread as well tomorrow.

I also got a load of bits to make up some of the Dark Wolves I just needed a few backpacks and legs so I'm sorted for about 10 more models, although the bits site managed to send me the wrong parts so I don't have Chaos Space marine backpacks yet.

I'm off to try and finish those berserkers tonight, they must be finished by the end of the weekend before I go back to work.

Ooh liking the rhino with all the heads and that daemon prince is very nice! Don't know if it helps but from just trying the one I painted you can get a fair amount of light shining through the engraved bits even after it's painted as primer spray doesn't really get in there.

I think Khorne would approve of glowy red symbols

Looks awesome so far.
Can't you just give the hatches a few washes to give them some shading and colour? It would still let a lot of the light shine through.

The glowing top hatch looks fantastic! I'd be tempted to leave it as is but it might look even cooler with some paint on it.

Ok cheers all glad you like the light display you've convinced me to keep the led inside the Rhino. I'm going to need some help though as I had issues securing the wires to the battery.

So any suggestions on how to do this will be greatly appreciated, one thing though I don't have a solder Iron so I'm going to need another way of doing it. I've tried electrical tape it kind of works but the wires work there way out too often.

I'll add some more paint to the hatch as well.

The second half of the World Eaters Khorne Berserker Beta Squad is now complete.









Now whats left to paint for my 900 points is the two Rhinos (one still waiting to be sent) and the DP if I can get hold of the wings and they look ok.

Oooo dey looking good!

Matt.Kingsley wrote:Oooo dey looking good!

Thanks, cant wait to start painting the Rhino today.

I think you should paint it only with washes (maybe Devland or Sepia, and Baal Red) so that it does look painted, though still letting the light pass through...

Looks awesome !

Cheers Ygg's I will give it ago.

Here's todays work on the Rhino, skulls finished and I've started basing out the red.

The Khorne icon is so intense! Wondering what can be done to tone down the LED though, to make it less bright and have it look the way you want it. Maybe a light gel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_gel) to dampen the tone but keep the color?

I really like the Rhino trophy display as well. No doubt this is going to be amazing when it is done.

Ah, you've got WarMill's new hatch... very nice!

Cheers I have toned down the the light source since the photo by filing the light bulb to give it a frosted effect.

This is the first Rhino there will be an identical one as well (different heads though on the side), I already have the parts just waiting for the vehicle itself.

I also have special plans for a Khorne Vindicator with LED's, I have the bits but wont be able to afford the tank till the end of the year.

Gitsplitta wrote:Ah, you've got WarMill's new hatch... very nice!

Cheers Gits yes new hatch and doors for both the rhinos and the vindi.

So, the easiest solution is to use an LED, a button battery, and some electrical tape. If you google "LED throwy" and don't use the magnet, it'll work great for you. You can just drop the led anywhere you need.

As for diffusing the light source, you can stuff the lit end of the LED into a plastic drinking straw, preferably white (as opposed to clear) and secure it with some boring PVA glue.

Nice work in this thread man. Very flavourful chaos army.
