He and some of his pals are posted in my WIP thread (sig), but I figured I would post him here as well since I am kinda proud of him and he is finished.

And a side by side with one of his mates for a size comparison.

Aside from a chain axe, there isn't much to suggest a model on par with the likes of Khârn in my opinion. He's a lovely model and well done, no question, but he could use something to distinguish him from his brothers as a particularly nasty killing machine.

 

Then again, if I recall Alpha Legionnaires make a big deal out of trying to all look alike and deceive/mislead enemies in the process.

Thanks for the comments/ suggestions guys. I agree that he does seem to be lacking for a chaos lord, but that is kind of by choice; as validar mentioned, the alpha legion fluff suggests all of the stealthiness and sneakiness. Along those lines, I am having no horned helmets in my army and am leaving many of the more prominantly chaos features off of the guys.

@ Darth Potato- the bases are cork board broken up to fit the bases. Khârn has 2 layers on his as you can see the main layer and the small second layer with his raised leg on it. I can throw up a few pictures of it if ya like. Just let me know!

I hate to agree with the majority here, because the conversion work is downright sexy, but "Khârn" needs something...even something simple like scales across his armour, or even a filthy grey cloak. Subdued, but effective at making this guy stand out.

What would yall say if I were to add an alpha legion green khorne icon on his belt buckle? Be gentle... it is just an idea! Might make him more Kharny while keeping him in my beloved alpha legion.

 

TOO LATE ALREADY DID IT; PICS UP IN A FEW!

Love it or leave it I suppose, but I quite like it (I know that wasnt one of the options). I added the green Khorne icon as discussed above as well as some nice green scales on his left shin that slowly fade back to blue as it wraps around the back. Anywho... :mellow:

I even suprised myself at how quickly I did that! If yall dont care for the khorne symbol, its definetly watered down enough to be removed. C&C as always!

As much as I like your blue, I didn't even notice the freehand hydra on his greave in the original pic until the 3rd or 4th peek. In short, I think your green could use a bit of brightening up for the sake of contrast (just a smidge, mind you). The designs are plenty enough to set him apart, but they need more work to be plainly visible.

No pictures needed, but thanks. ;) I just purchased some cork pads, so I might be trying out the same thing.

 

And I think your Alpha-Khârn looks fine, but I agree with Heru's suggestion of some blood on the axe/model. Some slicked gore effects could look very cool, if smeared across the axe, the arm holding the weapon, and the leg underneath it.

I think I have an idea, something that can make him unique and stand out from his brothers without drawing too much attention. Why not give him a scaly cloak like those of the Dark Elf Corsairs?

Thanks for the suggestions and kind words guys, but I think I am going to leave him as is. I have thought about adding one of the scaled cloaks from the corsairs, but I like going for the more "practical" look; I imagine it is hard to fight in hand to hand with that massive cloak. That, and it wont fit between his backpack and his rimmed shoulder pad :sweat: . Also, as some folks have mentioned, keeping that sort of "unsung hero" appearance is really essential to the Alpha Legion.
