Drudge Dreadnought Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 It is a nice model and certainly an effective conversion but it just isn't enough to be Khârn. It needs to be more (kh)ornate, and more battle damaged. Gorechild is also specifically a single bladed chainaxe. I like it overall though and would suggest doing the whole squad like this and just having a really nice re-posed and converted zerker squad.

Emperor's Scourge Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I agree with Drudge. Its definitely a nice conversion for a 'Zerker, but not "special" enough for Khârn.

Sons of Horus Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 no blood, no Khârn nuf said. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176791-scratch-build-kharn/#findComment-2089858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigger-than-Jesus Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 no blood, no Khârn nuf said. Quite what I was thinking lol. 2 things make a special character recognisable- his head and his weapons. If you had of used Gorechild, his head and the plasma pistol, as well as a more ornate chest piece, this would hands down be an amazing Khârn mini. As is, it makes a good skull champion, or a fairly decent lord(he'd be perfect for a lord if the chest had more detail).

Tutteman Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Hmm, great pose but like others have said, not really Kharny enough. MORE BLOOD Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176791-scratch-build-kharn/#findComment-2089958 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Mike Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 errr... if i could just point out in my, humble, loyalist opinion....it's not painted. So how can there be blood? Just, ye know, sayin. Its a nice conversion, but seeing as to me Khârn is jsut another red guy to shoot with my Leman Russes,I can't comment fully. That and I'm not a great fan of the proper model. Too garish. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176791-scratch-build-kharn/#findComment-2089999 Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can model blood onto it <_<, also some WE players like to actually paint their models in their own blood....

Azura Posted August 25, 2009 Author Share Posted August 25, 2009 the chest is kinda bare because i wanted to paint leering faces on it and i said ity is a count as karn it will be for my own traitor warband but i will get it painted ASAP andi think tat Khârn doesn't need much ornaments because common it khorne!

cathar the great Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 Nice idea with the faces, but to make the mini stand out as a special character, it just needs some more... well, character. If it's just a counts-as, it doesn't even need the bunny ears. A possessed head or something more unique would help it look less like an ordinary berzerker.

Skoby Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 A little more decoration would really help, I've always liked the skulls on chains, if you know someone who collects Orcs and Goblins then black orcs have a fair few heavy chains with skulls on that could be used, or I believe the Chaos Terminator Lord has some chains that you could convert to have skulls on. Also I'm not sure what's going on with the base at the moment, but adding a more interesting base, particularly rasing his height slightly will help him stand out, finally a good paintjob and I think he could work as a counts-as.

DuskRaider Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 Looks nice. Truthfully, while it doesn't look like Khârn, it could be a great PA Lord. But I do have to say, the Commisar hat would definitely convey who it is quite well :ermm: Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/176791-scratch-build-kharn/#findComment-2096952 Share on other sites More sharing options...
