<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "World Eaters count as blood angels. Warning: lots of big pictures."]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/56.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net World Eaters count as blood angels. Warning: lots of big pictures.
So like a lot of chaos players recently, I wanted to use my beloved khorne models but silly GW ruined the chaos codex a while ago, so are stuck using one of the later ones to count as.

Decided that I'd stick with post-heresy world eaters because I do love the forgeworld upgrade sets.

Most of the army is actually painted now to a decent standard, but this blog will detail finishing it off and really adding detail. Sorry if the pictures suck, I'm using a phone camera right now.

How it stands right now:



Whole army shot of everything painted so far...there is 1 squad without the jump packs I want to use...haven't got enough of them yet and had a tournament recently so they are stuck with space marines ones until the next set arrive.



First set of termies.



2nd set of termies.



Front of counts as mephy/librarian.



Side shot. Not so sure on this model, more work to be done. May start over on it.



My counts as sanguiary priests.



1st 1/2 of assault marine squad 1.



2nd 1/2 of assault marine squad 1.



Complete shot.

So more to come..including shots of land raiders, 2nd + 3rd assault marine squads.

Whats next to do? Well I want to start doing some proper highlights so the army can pop a bit more, also need alot of work on the metal. My mephy/libby model just doesnt seem right so I need to work on that, ideas appreciated.

Comments and critism welcome please!

PS Sorry for the mess in the room, and the 'unprofessionalism' of the pictures..this is my uni accomodation so it can't be expected to be kept tidy can it?! :-). As mentioned before, better pictures to come soon.

I used possessed bits for most of the priests bar the banners.

Jump packs are from maxmini.eu

As far as tourney mods are concerned they're "scratch built"

Great conversions, it's never occurred to me to use Blood Angels as World Eaters, good call!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327570/2112114.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327570/2112114.page GMT World Eaters count as blood angels. Warning: lots of big pictures. GW tournaments anymore, only Indy events really. My local store has no problem with them at all.

Right now the models are fairly dulled down due to the amount of heavy washes used on them, to give the gritty/dirty look, though I'll be adding a few highlights to the red when I get round to it-having to avoid it looking like real blood angels is tough though.

I want to make 5 scouts at 1 point too.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327570/2112265.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327570/2112265.page GMT World Eaters count as blood angels. Warning: lots of big pictures.
Did a bit more work on the land raiders and characters, painted another Librarian-still a long way to go on them.











Random picture from one of the shields I forgot to upload.

More to come soon!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327570/2127008.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327570/2127008.page GMT World Eaters count as blood angels.

I have one question though: how do you achieve those really intense blood effects? I love the slick look and intense red, and the translucentness. Can you tell me how to get a similar effect? Would be very grateful!

That blue on the shields (I'm assuming it's the world being eaten ) makes for a fantastic relief for the eye after all that red and gold. Looks excellent and I'd like to see that worked into some of the other models if possible!

I used Tamiya clear Red, its really brilliant stuff.

RiTides:

Thanks for the comments, I agree whole heartily, I'm not sure how bright of an orange I want to use yet.

Hopefully the white symbols will help, I'll try and incorporate more greens + blues where possible. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327570/2129962.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327570/2129962.page GMT Re:World Eaters count as blood angels. Warning: lots of big pictures.
This is my 1750 army I used in a recent tournament.







Next thing to work on will be practising some white freehand, to really break up the red after talking to a few really good painters I know personally.

I also want to add some scouts-anyone have any ideas how to do them?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327570/2184393.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/327570/2184393.page GMT Re:World Eaters count as blood angels.
