I think you were right - this looks better. I just applied nuln oil over the blue.

**Uriels_Flame**

Why was I thinking the Decimator was supposed to be the same size as a Knight?

Everything looks really good!

**WarbossDakka**

Yeah, something as simple as applying a wash has sorted your problem perfectly. Much grittier. I love it!

**KernelTerror**

Yup, that worked nicely.

Haha, I think I thought that once. It's a fair bit taller than a dreadnought, but nowhere near a Knight. Probably as high as a Forgefiend.

Anyway, Khorne darkmechanicus cultist should make for a killer combination, I am very interested in seeing the next members of the squad.

Here you go! I just knocked these up. An icon of Khorne will go on the banner pole, but I haven't decided what actual icon it will be yet.
The flamer guy should be more upright, but I didn't glue him to the base properly, and I swapped the head on the chainsword-wielder as he lacked that mechanicus vibe.

**corpuschain**

Time for some chosen!

I had to make use of these AoS models, and they give some interesting options for weapons. The hand swaps were good fun, and the backpacks were fairly easy to fit.
I was worried that the 40k models would look too small, but they seem to be fine, though that is probably due in no small part to the Khorne helms that I have added / converted.
The model with the massive sword is the champion.

**corpuschain**

So my havocs are looking pretty nifty, being led by Aspiring Champion Zanik. 2 plasmas and a flamer, which is strapped to the marine's body using gold chains, as suggested by KernelTerror.
I have more cool models to show you in the coming weeks. I've made a few bits but they won't be posted 'til they're painted, just coz they're too cool to reveal now

**KernelTerror**

Looking great ! Especially for the bone-white borders, and the different tints of red on the armor platings.

**corpuschain**

Thanks. I've worked quite hard on getting the reds right, so your comment pleases me (and Khorne)!

**Reavsie**

Some really nice looking stuff here, particularly liking all the conversions.

**EverlastingNewb**

As a total newb to Wargaming this makes me really jealous and inspires me at the same time. Totally awesome.

**corpuschain**

By the way, I have a blog for my undivided army here:

Hopefully you will enjoy that too!

**evildrcheese**

10/10 for coolness buddy.

**Ragsta**

I lurked through here before and can't believe I didn't comment. The forces of Khorne are looking great! I like the vibrant reds and the skin tones on the naked flesh is nicely done.
Some really characterful conversions too! Nice double handed weapons earlier and the customised vehicles also

Keep up the good worBLOOD FOR BLOOD GOD!!!!!!!!

Haha! Thanks.

Thanks to all other commenters too.

**corpuschain**

Woah... I painted this in two days. That's fast for me! I guess it was just a lot of fun.

May I present: Kraadax, Bloodthirster of the Eighth Host.

**Reavsie**

Wow! That's terrifying head on - great work.

I particularly like the flames on the whip and heat effect on the axe.

**corpuschain**

Thanks!

**angelofvengeance**

Nice conversion! Looks very intimidating

**corpuschain**

It does, doesn't it? I would definitely get out the way. It's the pose that does that, I think. Yes, the face is aggressive, but it's the stooping pose of the Balrog that does it, I think.
More miniatures should have such a pose. I'll try to make it happen!

**corpuschain**

A Vindicator!

I bought a box of 2nd hand miniatures on ebay, and one of the models was this badly put-together and thickly painted Vindicator. I couldn't do anything about the modelling (the side panels were put on really strangely and there is a gap at the rear), but I stripped the paint as best I can. I didn't strip it all, and there was some lumpy paint left on, but I thought I would use that to give the tank a warped and ancient look. After converting it up with spikes and a Khorne Berzerker, I added as much grime as I could - chips, scratches, corrosion, rust and washes. I hope you think it looks archaic and chaotic!

**KernelTerror**

Excellent, that balrog conversion is awesome, praised be Khorne ! And might as well praise him with a vindicator !

**ZergSmasher**

I love that Bloodthirster conversion. He's pretty scary, which is kinda the idea for something like that! I can totally picture a Space Marine librarian standing in front of him on a bridge, brandishing his force staff and shouting "YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!"

**LostCarcosa25**

Great army, corpuschain! Adding CSM power armour legs to the AoS Khorne models is brilliant. I look forward to seeing more great conversions from you

**corpuschain**

So, what have I been up to in the three weeks? Aside from going to Warhammer Fest and hosting a home tournament, I've actually done a fair bit of model work.
However, there isn't a lot I'm happy to post yet, as I've been flitting between various different models in terms of painting and modelling.
I was quite focused and finishing a squad before moving onto the next one, but since my army is looking well stocked now, I thought I'd relax a bit and let myself do whatever takes my fancy.

Hence I've built a couple of models for a squad, then built a monster, and then spent hours online looking at other models to buy! I'm going to be building a renegade guard detachment to accompany the daemonkin, so have been mostly working out lists and checking out lots of models to decide what I want to do. I now have some models on their way and will start work on this detachment once I've painted up a few of the models on my shelf.
However, some models will be finished soon and I will start posting them. I'm building three centre-piece models atm, so I'd rather not post them until they're done (for maximum gravitas). You'll just have to wait and see what they are!

To whet your appetite for units to come, here are two models I recently knocked up. A possessed berzerker and a flesh hound.

Watch this space!

**corpuschain**

Phew... It felt like they took a while, but they're finally done, and I'm quite pleased with the dark mechanicus cultists, led by Agitator Otrok
These fellas will form a retinue (meat shield!) for Warpmsith Prostřednik as he patrols the battlefield, repairing his mighty daemon engines. Perhaps they can help repair or suggest improvements to these infernal machines.

In the final picture, you can see Prostřednik with his retinue and two of his mighty creations: the Decimator siege engine, Katastrofa, and the insane Helbrute, Mrtvych Lebky.

**KernelTerror**

Brutal looking band of maniacs man, well done !

**evildrcheese**

Awesome. The dark mech cultists looks wicked.

EDC

**corpuschain**

This is the model for Samus, Daemon Prince of the Ruinstorm.
I, however, am going to run him as a Bloodthirster who lost his wings, called Xanrezhal.

Behold the might of Xanrezhal, The Drinker of Blood and Bloodthirster of the Third Host.

**corpuschain**

And one more to show the scale!
