chaplainmikey Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I'm in the process of transforming all my DA models into my new Khornate army,which won't be World eaters,or full of frothing psychopaths. Going for more of a martial khorne army,who favour ranged combat as much as close-combat,doesnt matter to them so long as Khorne gets his skulls! :P Anyway here is the wip test model: pic 1 pic 2 pic 3 pic 4 So he's had the red armour finished,the robe is finished and the rest is WIP. Does the red and gold look okay next to the balck robes?Or is he too bland? Comments and suggestions would be helpful. Cheers guys! :( Edited to include links.

Ole Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I'd love to give you feedback, but photobuckets fails (it says so itself) in showing the photos is a higher resolution. Looks really good from the small photos you provided though. Nice and rich red.

Pandora Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 It looks cool, but doesn't scream Khorne to me, probably because he's got a bolter and not a chainsword/axe and pistol. Maybe some Khorne Iconography? A little bit of battle damage would help as well. Also, I think the cloak needs more depth to it, maybe use a really dark grey to highlight up or something, I'm not too sure.

Wolf89 Posted October 22, 2008 Share Posted October 22, 2008 I agree, it doesn't really say khorne... looks more like word bearers (which was my first though of the pic.) Also there's no way a bezerker would be wearing a dress like those DA's... :RTBBB: The horns look good though, nice use of brown inks and such, but as for highlighting the robe, I'd suggest the tips more of a grey over a dark blue... Oh and a bolt pistol / CCW is needed for sure... :RTBBB: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150037-wip-khorne-marine/#findComment-1743301 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaplainmikey Posted October 22, 2008 Author Share Posted October 22, 2008 Thanks for the comments. Yeah i agree,he does seem more world bearer then Khorne,which isnt bad as word bearers are one of my fav chapters and are now looking like a more optimal choice fluff wise and paiting wise. Secondly,why do all devotees of khorne need to be berzerkers?Or obsessed with mauling thier opponents with an axe? Surley khorne is also 40ks god of war,and so long as blood is spilt he wont care how said blood is shed?

It doesn't work that way... it's not about the blood... it's about the SKULLS!!! and how do you get a skull from 100's of yards away with bullet shots? you don't... you get it by old fashioned axe to the face! :) Also Khorne is extremely old (oldest of the 4, if that's even possible) and you can imagine the only warfare then was good ol' shield and sword.

Yogi Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Khorne dosent have to be about bezerkers.. blood pact are an example. Anyway whether or not this model will be khorne I think it looks good. Neat painting helps here. Battle damage would look good, but you have painted most of it already so maybe next time. What it really needs is a symbol which afilates it. A big Khorne symbol or word bearer decal. Keep it up. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150037-wip-khorne-marine/#findComment-1743483 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf89 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 well yes a blood pact, but that's still close combat isn't it? Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150037-wip-khorne-marine/#findComment-1743858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alys Dwr Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Getting skulls from 100yds away is easy. Shoot the living daylights out of the enemy, walk over and then decapitate the dead at your leisure. No need for the running and screaming and slashing and angryness. The red looks good, i'm looking forward to see it with the gold finished.

Why play Khorne then?... :P Ok enough of the "Khorne don't use bolters, dey hack n' slashem dem ummies", to "Khorne likes having his men hide in bushes picking off guys one by one with controlled precision in their trusty bolter, just like good ol' Guilliman said they should kill their opponents..." lets just agree that it still needs a little something, whether it be iconography, bp/ccw, or something else, but the painting isn't bad and more pics are welcome. ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/150037-wip-khorne-marine/#findComment-1743890 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShinyRhino Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Looks good. I feel the best part of the model is the horns. Very smooth and well done. You might want to put a reddish-brown wash over the gold to bronze it up some. The wash will fill the recesses nicely, and give it some real depth. The cloth could use a little more attention in the form of blending, but it's a great start.

chaplainmikey Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 Thanks for the comments guys. I agree that he still needs some khorne symbols,but as this is still wip i haven't been able to get round to them yet,but definitley will! I'm gonna stick with the idea of this army being renegades dedicated to khorne rather then them all being berzerkers. I will have a small contingent of allied World eaters though,mainly so i can use the new FW Khorne stuff.
