binary Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Well...it's been a while, and what with real life finally getting out of the way I thought I'd get soem opinions on my current project. I'm building (and eventually painting) a Pre-heresy truescale version of Khârn for one of my gaming club. All he specified was "Big, Badass, Helmetless, Chainaxe and no armour on the left arm", so i had a lot of creative freedom. Many hours of research, and a huge leap in sculpting i came up with this as a representation of everyones favourite Psycho (with thanks of course to Doghouse, Synapse et al for the inspiration!) And a few close ups Body front and rear Base details Chainaxe his head...decided that he should have corn rows and dreads flailing around behind him while he takes a swing at the loyalists! Finally a comparison shot with one of my white scar Tactical marines.....fully a head taller. Scary enough?

Captain Mick Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Looks promising, now paint! ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151755-truescale-kharn-during-the-heresy/#findComment-1765927 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffstix Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Hmmmm............ Difficult. I'd say firstoff that I like it - its completely different from mine, which is always good. Secondly, I'd say that I love the sculpting on his hair - it looks top notch. However, the only criticism I can find is that the sculpting on the chest plate looks a bit...well.....half arsed - even if its meant to be battle damaged. It just looks too...uneven. I'm sure ceramite dents - but that just looks maybe a wee bit too far. Of course if you're happy with it, stick with it -_- Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151755-truescale-kharn-during-the-heresy/#findComment-1766225 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khrangar Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 How did you do the hair? It's essentially what I want for a captain conversion I have in mind.

BrotherAtrox Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 If he's at the Siege of Terra wouldn't it be Heresy, not Pre-Heresy? Either way I think he looks great. The proportions are good, and the dreadlocks are surprisingly fitting. Looking forward to the painting process. :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151755-truescale-kharn-during-the-heresy/#findComment-1766349 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder_god Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I'd hate to run into him on a dark battle field! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151755-truescale-kharn-during-the-heresy/#findComment-1766355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf89 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Looks really cool, only thing I'm still trying to visualize is what his bare hand is doing. It just seems out of place from the rest of the figure and may need an "adjustment"? What I mean is he's easily roaring if you will, but his hand is palm down fingers outstretched, wouldn't palm up curved be better? Either way that hair is just cool.

Sons of Horus Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 looks cool :D very nice work although Khârn's left arm has a shoulder pad. no armour but he does have a shoulder pad ;) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151755-truescale-kharn-during-the-heresy/#findComment-1766659 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brother Hastatus Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Very cool! Very nicely sculpted. Although I read the topic title as Khan pre-heresy, so I was a tiny bit confused when I saw the picture! Now get some paint on it!

binary Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 well he's got some paint on him now....not quite finished (still need to smooth the transitions on the armour) but this is after about 35 hours work. My first attempt at lunchbox's glazing method, it's turned out much better than i could've hoped. As some of you may notice i completely changed the chest armour, giving him a much smoother Mk3 chestplate and adding the WE logo. He's also been "dinged" in a few places with my dremel to represent battle damage, I wanted it to look like he'd just charged through a wall of the palace! Now I just need to decide if he should have blood splatter, and if so how much...obviously as an assault captain he'll have some on the chainaxe and and the left side of his armour, but how much would be too much? I don't want to cover up the armour and hours of paintwork, but i still want to give the impression of a frothing blood crazed loony... anyway, enough rambling, here's the pics C&C? -Binary Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151755-truescale-kharn-during-the-heresy/#findComment-1816665 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyyman Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Oh man I just love it. I think it's very cool. No more words needed. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/151755-truescale-kharn-during-the-heresy/#findComment-1816669 Share on other sites More sharing options...
warflag Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Looks very good! Question, what reference did you use? He looks like wearing mostly the stuff as the actual model, i.e. chains, the one arme without armour etc. What about his hair andso on? I´m very interested where you got this from.
