Just posting WIP of my heresy Worldeaters looking for help re the dirt/weather effects... I have damaged up the armour but have yet to try the powders... Any tips?

Some of my world eaters...

Tester model!


Kargos


Kharn!

Nice start. Kharn looks great.

The weathering looks good. Not too much, not too little.

I was considering a light brown dusting to the lower legs to give a 'mid battle' feel

Thoughts?

Hmm. I suppose it depends on how you are going to base them. If you were going for a urban/spaceship/etc style base then no, I wouldn't use the weathering powders.

However if you were going for a style were they are out rolling around in the muck, then yeah, some weathering would probably go a long way.

They look great (especially Kharn, looks exactly like the artwork sketches in Betrayer!), but they need a lot more blood on them :p

A bit of blood definitely wouldn't go astray. That being said though, it's nice to see blood free World Eaters for once. *BLAM* Heresy! Bloody up those World Eaters. Blood for the Emperor, Skulls for the Golden Throne.

Nice but needs some BLOOD!!!!

Thanks! Having not seen this image I can't say I went that way at all!

The rampagers will get blood effects but I wanted a very early heresy or even great crusade era force where I don't have to splatter them with gore - painting that white takes time!

I did try blood on the dread but it looked wrong due to the blue fist and armour panels. I suspect a small amount on Kharn would be ok - a little on his fist and axe blade perhaps? Kargos (aka blood spitter) could also get some across the narcarthium I guess
