Looks good .

Nice job on the lord.

Thanks for the comments!

A rhino for the 'breacher' squad of berzerkers.

Nice ! The harpoon is a very cool addition.

Thanks KT! I believe it's from a Gorkamorka model!

Nice conversions, looking forward to seeing those shield bearers finished. Subscribed

Thanks! I really enjoy converting, so it's rewarding when others enjoy the fruits of my labours!

Part 2 (part 1 can be found here: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/150/659202.page#9150523)

The void expanded to the height of the room, which was easily 30 metres. It was roughly circular, but the shape changed with every passing second. The void was jet black, save for swirls of blue light that twisted and turned across the surface.

“Bring the machine!” bellowed the Warpsmith. Attendant cultists scurried into a side room and re-merged pushing a giant set of legs, as tall as a tank. The legs looked similar to a design used by the techpriests of Mars to create dunewalking machines of war. They were baroque and ancient, the armour painted in red, with exposed pistons and wiring underneath. The cultists manoeuvred it into position in front of the void.

Prostrednik began a to recite a prayer to Khorne – a guttural incantation to the God of blood and warfare. The cultists joined in, their varied voices creating an unearthly cadence to this hymn to endless bloodshed. Prostrednik began to carve the icon of Khorne into the machinery, and motioned to some of the cultists. They began gathering buckets of blood and started to pour them over the legs and pistons of the legs.

The void crackled. Fire spat out through its centre - a gush of purple-red flame that met a group of cultists head on and immolated them where they stood. Prostrednik cackled.
“So it begins!” Flames licked out around the machine. Blood swirled from the void and created a vortex around it. Cultists screamed and were sucked into the Warp. Prostrednik stood back and watched as his ritual came to fruition. A magnificent swirl of colour enveloped the room, at once red, black and purple. An angry roar erupted from the madness, tearing through the chants of the cultists, causing them to fall silent. The vortex swirled faster, burning the walls and causing blood to boil off them until the air was filled with a hot, red, choking mist. As the vortex slowed, another roar burst forth from within, and this time the roar had a face. A metal face with giant teeth of bone. Its eyes glowed red and a metal tongue flicked out from behind those teeth. As Prostrednik’s eyes adjusted to the mist, he gazed upon the form of the daemon, entombed within the walking prison of the arcane machinery he had created. It had a monstrous, muscled body of purple-grey flesh and arms that ended in writhing mouths of bone and scale. It’s arms were covered in red and steel armour and bony tentacles erupted from bloody rents in its shoulders. Skulls poked through the flesh like faces in a sea. Prostrednik thought he recognised one of the faces.

The machine lurched into life and the daemon roared. Black smoke belched from an exhaust on the daemon’s back. The daemon took several steps with its arachnoid legs, impaling a cultist under one foot. It looked down at Prostrednik with its unnatural green eyes.

“I name you Kov Šelma. We require your help, in the name of the Blood God. Will you fight alongside these mortals?”

The daemon roared in approval.

All Hails Kov Šelma, Glorious bringer of destruction. That combination between the Onager, the Khorgorath and the forgefiend is perfect, looks like an original kit.

Well done, any chance for a WIP shot ?

These conversions are so cool, the deamon walker one looks great!

Thanks, that's quite a compliment! Coming up, if I can find one!

Thank you!

WIP shot of the maulerfiend.

It's always nice to have a sunny day (there haven't been many round here recently) to get the army out and take some naturally lit pictures of how the army is shaping up!
The Bloodstorm so far...

Excellent, thanks for these group shots, must have been very satisfying to arrange all of them battle ready.
Thanks also for the WIP shot earlier, helps to see where the bits combine.

It really was satisfying! I find it useful to do this from time to time to remind me of how far I have come with the force, and a long way I have come indeed!

The maulerfiend conversion is great ! I love this kind of crazy ideas
It is always good to make some group photos. Firstly you can see your progress, second - you can show it to us !
What will be the next step of The Bloodstorm project

Awesome army shots, that is a fantastic looking Khorne army!

A Blood slaughterer
A bloodthirster
A Champion
Berzerker breachers
A Dreadclaw

Thanks, EDC! I'm very proud of it so far, and these shots inspire me to make more!

Behold! Varrolath, Bloodthirster of the Eighth Host, carrying a mighty Axe of Khorne and a Lash of Khorne.
I have had this model for about eighteen years, and it was originally painted, not too badly, in a black and white scheme. I have updated the colour scheme and added a new lash to fit in with my modern bloodthirsters and it now stands proudly alongside them as part of the daemonic legions of Khorne.

Also shown are my Chosen, who have been rebased onto 32mm bases. They were just a bit too big for 25mm, and the icon bearer kept falling over! They do look at home on the larger bases, I think.
Next, I am painting a Dreadclaw for this squad.

Excellent, that is a very cool paintjob on that classical model, with a unique demonic face.

Thanks KT, but what do you mean by unique daemonic face? This is the original face for the model...

Nice job on the Blood Thirster, great paintjob on a classic model.

The AoS Zerkers are looking swell too.

Absolutely ! I meant it is very recognizable, maybe that's just because that model has been around forever I reckon. To me, this big grimacing face defines the archetype bloodthirster. Aaaand that might make even less sense than my previous post, sorry ^^ !

Ah, I see. Yes, I agree. Much as I love the new Bloodthirsters, the face on this one is the one I see in my dreams (nightmares?)...

In the middle of painting up my dreadclaw, I decided I wanted to do some more building and converting, and while making some cultists, I decided to resurrect a long-held ambition, which is to build a renegades and heretics army.
I've been starting to feel that The Bloodstorm is going in too many directions at once, and so removing some models and putting them in a renegades and heretics detachment makes sense.
This will leave the actual Bloodstorm force, led by Krev Grazl, with a reliance on brute strength, daemons and beasts. Then there is Warpsmith Prostřednik's detachment, with its reliance on machinery. Finally, the renegades detachment is a group of Imperial Guard and other humans who have see Khorne as the God of Strength and, seeing the flesh as weak, convert their bodies to machinery in order to be stronger to carry out the Blood God's endless slaughter.

Here's a provisional army list based on the models I have available:
The infantry squads are 10 models minimum, but I don't my opponents will mind if I field 8 instead but pay for the cost of 10. We must appease the Blood God!

--HQ--

Command Squad - TOTAL: 202 pts = 45 + power weapon (10) + bolt pistol (2), covenant of Khorne (10) + Heretek Magus (30) + banner of hate (10) + 3 extra disciples (30) + command net vox (5) + chimera w/dozer blade (60)

--Troops--

Infantry Platoon
Infantry squad - TOTAL: 50 pts = 30 + champion (5), sub-flak armour (5), melta bombs (5) + flamer (5)
Infantry squad - TOTAL: 45 pts = 30 + champion (5), sub-flak armour (5), melta bombs (5)
Infantry squad - TOTAL: 45 pts = 30 + champion (5), sub-flak armour (5), melta bombs (5)

--Heavy Support--

Hydra - TOTAL: 75pts = 60 + dozer blade (5), militia training (10)

Leman Russ Squadron
1X PUNISHER (130 + heavy bolters 20) = 150
1X BATTLE TANK (140) = 140
1X DEMOLISHER (160 + plasma cannons 30 + lascannon 10) = 200

Grand Total: 897 pts

Sparks crackle through the hull of the outer corridor of the cruiser. Space marines crouch in readiness, bolters aimed. A rectangle cut appears as a chainblade bursts through the plasteel. The material buckles and bends, and with a roar, a red-armoured figure thrusts its massive bulk through the gap. Aspiring champion Válečný deflects bolter fire with his shield-cum bolt pistol, the bolts embedding themselves in a gold icon of Khorne embossed on his shield. He is followed by seven berzerkers, each wielding chain-halberds that hum with anticipation. They spill into the corridor with the aim of sowing death among the adeptus astartes...

Another daemon engine, quietly gathering a pile of skulls for the Skull Throne...

This is the kind of blog i enjoy with great looking models and a great background and army theme. Thanks for posting these.
