Megalodon Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 I'm currently building some Zerkers and melding them into my Undivided army for when the new dex comes out. They'll likely be a mix of marked Khornate CSM with lots of Zerks. Let it be known that Krug the Beheader and his Warhost the Soul Reapers are following the God of War and bloodshed! Praise be to Khorne, let the skulls be piled high in his name! This is my WIP thread for everything Chaos. Let's begin with my WIP Zerker test model; I have based him on the old 2nd ed Khorne assault marines in the middle of that page. I've chosen not to try to convert the bare legs. So I am going for a bare arm on the CC weapon side of the minis. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/KB1resizedCopy1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/KB2resizedCopy1.jpg Next up the Daemon Prince I've been working on. I tried to convey the Daemonic corruption from DOW in his base, so far I think it's going well. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/DP1resized.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/DP2baseresized.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnus the red Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 the zerker looks good already. are you going to debunny all the helms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganuus Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 The flesh needs work. I don't know how to tell you my advice, because I don't particularly like flesh, but maybe some inking? Just needs depth. I know you aren't done, so maybe that's it. Looks good without bunny ears, too. :tu: I'm a pirate, are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodon Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Thanks for the comments! Yes, the bunny ears will be gone; there will be no rabbits in this army. Update time! He's almost finished! :wink: He just needs some touch up and I need to finish the basing. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/KB4resized.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/KB5resizedCopy1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Father Rik Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 That's pretty darn nice. And the base of the Prince looks awesome. How'd you do that? GS? The flesh on the Prince needs depth too though - shading and highlighting - though you might not be finished that yet anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodon Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 Thanks for the comments. The princes base is done with GS. Yeah, his flesh still needs to be stained and highlighted that's just the base color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubbynz Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 nice paint job although I fear he is holding that chainsword a little bit to close to his head for my liking......having a shave? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheex Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 I like your interpretation of the old WE Assault Marines, looks very good! Keep it up mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodon Posted July 7, 2007 Author Share Posted July 7, 2007 Thanks for the comments guys. I should have the Zerker finished later today. Then I'll move on to finishing the DP. @ Hubbynz, I know the chainsword is a little close but the angle makes it look worse than it is. Besides he is a Berserker he cares not for his own wellbeing. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StratoKhan Posted July 7, 2007 Share Posted July 7, 2007 For all you know the chainsword isn't activated. I think these guys are pretty lovely, no ears actually makes that head look better I'd say. Very nice red by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalodon Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Thanks for the comments. Ok let’s start with the paint recipe. I painted these using the Vallejo versions of GW paints and Iron Wind Metals red (old Ral Partha). The highlights were successive blends with each solid highlight covering less surface space on each armored plate; staring at eighty percent of the plates. On the lower part of each plate below the solid highlight I striped the highlight with each highlight being narrower and covering less surface. The striping gives (at least in my eyes) a little bit of depth to the flat surfaces on the armor. All paint for the highlights was thinned down to the consistency of milk. Black prime Scab red base coat Brown ink magic wash 2 parts scab red + 1 part red gore this is the only solid highlight color covering 80% of the armored plates. Scab red + red gore 50/50. 1 part Scab red + 2 parts red gore Red gore 2 parts Red gore + 1 part IWM red Red gore + IWM red 50/50 1 part Red gore + 2 parts IWM red IWM red Sorry no update on the DP yet, I got sidetracked last night. I'm off today I'm planing on getting some work done. I did build a few more Zerkers, here they are. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/kbgroupresized.jpg What should I do with the Aspiring Champions head? Skull helmet or bare head?

Tyrannicide Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Those wip berzerkers look sweet Megalodon! Nice Conversions. I really like the 'zerker on the left. The aspiring champ. looks fine with the skull helmet imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodon Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Thanks for the comment. :rolleyes: I have not built the AC cause he'll have a PF. Should I give him a plasma pistol too? The new codex takes away the blood frenzy so he'll actually be able to use it. So we have one for the skull helmet! :P Meg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodon Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 What about this for the champs head?! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/KBhead1resized.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/kbhead2resized.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StratoKhan Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 Sweet! Did you do that yourself? I really like it. ++EDIT++ Wait, you used the bare head and painted it as a skull, didn't you? Genius. ++EDIT++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StratoKhan Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 You might even want to trim the nose away, you don't need it and the profile would be improved by its absence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
