Megalodon Posted July 10, 2007 Author Share Posted July 10, 2007 Right now the very bottom of the nose is painted as part of the upper jaw above the teeth. I'll have to think on it! Thanks for the great input! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodon Posted July 11, 2007 Author Share Posted July 11, 2007 How this for the Aspiring Champion? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/KBACresized.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevlarshark Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 Very nice I like the very bright, crisp, colour scheme. I used a similar (red armour, bone face plate, brass trim) scheme for my beserkers but mine turned out a bit darker and battle damaged. I am no where near as neat a painter as you (so wont try for any complicated painting advice) but have you tried doing some tattoos on the exposed flesh?, that said if the whole army looks as good as the finished guy you will have somthing a bit special on your hands! Oddly I also used the champions head as a skull mask but did mine to look a bit more voodoo (face paint like) an Idea I 'borrowed' from a friends Necromunda gang years ago. Anyways good luck with the project looks great so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodon Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 Thanks for the comments, Kevlarshark. Finally an update on the DP! :) The horns and the big hand are still very much WIP! I really like the way his skin is turning out. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/DP2resizedCopy2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maratheus Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Nice head for the champion, I seriously thought it was sculpted at first. Great job. The Daemonrpince is coming along very nicely, the drill on his left arm is nasty. Keep it up, this is a very interesting project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodon Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 Thanks for the comments on the DP. I'm thinking on changing the flesh on the Berzerker to a similar tone like the DP. What do you think about this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalodon Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 Here is a WIP of the first non-zerker Head Taker; when done the red will be the same as on the Zerks. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/BH1resized.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StratoKhan Posted July 15, 2007 Share Posted July 15, 2007 I think that's a pretty good pose for the Aspiring Champion, I'd say paint him up! I like how the Daemon Prince is turning out. Looking good! I was wondering why he had a different coloured armour to his minions... I also like the drill he has. I'm thinking on changing the flesh on the Berzerker to a similar tone like the DP. What do you think about this? Sounds good. It would look more mutated and otherworldy. I think your flesh is nice, but from the pictures, the flesh on the Berzerkers sometimes lacks contrast.

Megalodon Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 Thanks for the comments. The head is the Khorne berzerker champion head from the plastic set. Small update I did the daemonic knee on the DP http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/DPkresizedCopy1.jpg and I started working on my Raptors, I hate the way they are mounted on there bases when you get them. So I'm having some custom flight bases for made them. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/raptorresized.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnus the red Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 i like the dp alot. My only criticism is that the red is so distinctive in that limited paletee that it draws attention away from the face. Good to see people still using the raptor champ instead of waiting for the new one. It is by far superior. do you plan to convert the raptors to show their allegiance to khorne (bunny ears etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonclaw Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 nice i too love the daemon prince it is shaping up nicely as for the red knee maybe a wash of darker red/black might move attention back to his face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StratoKhan Posted July 28, 2007 Share Posted July 28, 2007 Nice work on the Daemon prince, I really like that metallic colour for the armour. Did you say how you did it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodon Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share Posted July 29, 2007 Thanks for the comments, The armor is Vallejo bronze washed with dark brown the highlighted with the strait Bronze the washed with a forest green then selectively highlighted with bronze again, it's still got a few more washes and highlights to go before it's finished. Sorry for the lack of updates, I burned my hand and was unable to paint. A small update with one pic. Here is the shoulder pad that will go on his left arm. It still needs a couple of highlights on the red. Sorry it is a bit shiny it's not been sealed yet. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/DPSPresized.jpg A few changes/updates on the Price. The drill been removed from his left gauntlet; I got tired of banging it and bending the tip. I've replaced it with a skull melded into the gun barrel, though I'm still not sure about this. I'll paint it tomorrow and get your opinion. I started the sword the plan is that it will be a red with fire like runes. not sure about this though it's not got much surface to work with. Thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megalodon Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 I've done some work on the sword, it's looking decent so far. Tonight I'll finish up the sword, skull on his left arm and gold banding on the Prince. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/DPS2resized.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/DPSresized.jpg I think I see at the light of the Daemonic tunnel I've been stuck in. He should be done in a couple of days. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Nice work. I hope to get to paint some Bezerkers up myself for the new Codex. I know at one point I tried to collect every Bezerker model ever made, but until then it is Nurgle, Nurgle, Nurgle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonclaw Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 okay i am now eating my words :devil: now that the other bits are painted red the knee does not stand out too much. on a side note ,have you thought about adding a gun barrel in the skulls mouth making it look more of a weapon?

Megalodon Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 okay i am now eating my words :D now that the other bits are painted red the knee does not stand out too much.on a side note ,have you thought about adding a gun barrel in the skulls mouth making it look more of a weapon? How about a "Flaming Skull"?! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/DPflamerresized.jpg Ignore the yellow tac. :D I'd add more details too it, like a hose coming from under the skull and a modern igniter from a current flamer. What do you think? Edit added 2nd pic I originally wanted to use a SM flamer it just looks too big. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/DPflamer2resized.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dizbuster Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Personally i don't think the skull looks that effective. rather than using it as a weapon base, chop off the back of the head and green stuff it into the gauntlet then paint it as a decoration.

Megalodon Posted July 31, 2007 Author Share Posted July 31, 2007 dizbuster I came to that same decision last night, thanks for the comments and thoughts. Ok update time! After two days trying to make a mediocre idea work I’ve made a breakthrough. I originally used the skull on the DP’s left arm because I was afraid of screwing up the bronze paint. Well I decided I could fix it if I had too and this is what I originally wanted to do, and what the heck it worked. I’m really glad I decided to take a chance! It's not 100 percent done yet but it's getting there and I think it's looking effective. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/DPhandresized.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v673/EasyEight/40K/DPhand2resized.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megalodon Posted August 1, 2007 Author Share Posted August 1, 2007 Nexus is correct it's a Beastmen Ungore head cut flat just behind the horns and chin. Then melded into the forearm with GS. I'm very happy with the way it's turning out. Meg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
