BigDozer11 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I had purchased this model off of a friend to use in a 40k skirmish game that our local group has been working on for a few years. The Skull Champion will be my commander for the Chaos Cultists squad that I am currently developing. So this mini in itself was a blast to paint. I really like the pose of the model. I also tried a technique that was new for me, and that is wet blending. You can see it more around the legs and on the backpack. Upon taking the pictures I have found some mold lines ( :lol: oh nooooos!!) but as I do not have a dremel and shaved all the others down by hand with a file (this is a metal model btw) I think I did a pretty good job. Anyways here he his! Let me know what you guys think! http://i95.servimg.com/u/f95/13/65/51/60/khornc12.jpg http://i95.servimg.com/u/f95/13/65/51/60/khornc13.jpg http://i95.servimg.com/u/f95/13/65/51/60/khornc14.jpg http://i95.servimg.com/u/f95/13/65/51/60/khornc15.jpg http://i95.servimg.com/u/f95/13/65/51/60/khornc16.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187318-khorne-skull-champion/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gv0zD Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I think I did a pretty good job. That's for sure! ;) Man, this Zerker is awesome! You managed blending very well! Nice and clean paintjob! Good highlights on the skulls, either the white ones and the gold ones. And I really like the metallic parts!

Imalwayscold Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Really good effort! Strange you painted the skin tones red, but its a good alternative! I do wonder what that bezerker plans to do with the grenade stuck to the bottom of the chainaxe however :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/187318-khorne-skull-champion/#findComment-2216588 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzza Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Looks amazing. I love the pose and the head is very nice. The cultists he leads will be inspired.

BigDozer11 Posted December 16, 2009 Author Share Posted December 16, 2009 Thanks all for you comments! As I said this one was a blast to paint. @ gil galed: This model came in a blister pack I do believe. If you check out GW's site there are some with alternative weapons and heads. @ Imalwayscold: Ya, I like it to seem like he had a helmet on. I did not like how GW's model looked with the head painted a flesh color. To me it just looked......off. Like something wasn't right with the model.
