Dark Apostle Thirst Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 You're right. That bloodthirst is even more hideous than the current model. However... I'm sure you can improve the model drasticly with you painting skills :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warsmith Aznable Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 It's cool watching this retro army grow! You're doing good work salvaging these old models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frater Uriah Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 Your work is really excellent on these classics! They look better than the stuff in the old Rogue Trader edition books! Way to make old new again! Two thumbs up! :) :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vomikron Noxis Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Phew it's been a while since an update! Got some work done on the army though, so it's a quick update for now, and then another one in a couple days... First up, I finished the Daemon Prince (aka stupid ugly dogface): http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/DPFront.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/DPRear.jpg I think I've managed to improve him somewhat, but I'll let you guys be the judge of that! To follow soon, the rest of the Berzerkers! Edit: I could do with some advice actually... Does the DP need blood effects on his axe, or does it look better without? I'll post a better picture of the axe for you to decide... Edit 2: Here's a better pic of the axe, let me know what you think about blood effects or not: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/DPSide.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Vader Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Not. The dip has given it a sort of NMM effect, it would be a shame to spoil that. Stupid ugly dogface looks great, keep up the good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Apostle Thirst Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Ah, love that axe. I seriously recomending claiming the skull of that Bloodthirster, though, and replacing it. It's messing with the model, and it has such a beautiful paint job, it doesn't deserve that ugly face :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vomikron Noxis Posted July 4, 2011 Author Share Posted July 4, 2011 Hail brothers, it's update time! Got my 2nd squad of 'zerkers finished, now my brave warriors are ready to fight the evil and oppressive Imperium in the name of the true gods :lol: First up, a group shot: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/HellbladesWIP2.jpg And individuals: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/Hellblade4.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/Hellblade5.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/Hellblade6.jpg http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/Hellblade7.jpg The Champion, Sapir Redwolf: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/SapirRedwolf.jpg And now the whole squad together: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/HellbladesComplete.jpg Also finished one objective marker: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/KhorneObjective1.jpg Phew!

Vomikron Noxis Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Greetings brothers, No replies just yet then hey.... Just a brief update on this fine evening... Had a bit of an eBay spending spree and put a 3rd Berzerker squad together: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/CrimsonDeathWIP1.jpg The 'zerkers are all old WE assault troops, and the champion is put together from a bunch of different bits, including a bare arm from a real old school plastic Necromunda Goliath. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muskie Posted July 16, 2011 Share Posted July 16, 2011 I've almost finished painting my copy of those two much reviled models. I of course made them look bad ass. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vomikron Noxis Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Greetings brothers! Well I've not been able to get too much done on this army recently as I've been travelling a lot for work, and been a little preoccupied with my Daemons... I did manage to get 3 more objective markers finished though: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/KhorneObjectives234.jpg That's all for now!

Vomikron Noxis Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 Greetings brothers! Another minor update for you (still working on my Daemons I'm afraid...). Got the last of my objective markers finished... http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/KhorneObjective5.jpg All of them together: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/KhorneObjectives.jpg Enjoy, and please do comment!

Vomikron Noxis Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Greetings brothers, Well it has been quite some time since an update, but I'm now back working on my beloved World Eaters! Fist up, got a few more Berzerkers finished: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/CrimsonDeathGroup1-2.jpg And also been working on a certain unstoppable badass to lead them (still WIP): http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/KharnWIP1-2.jpg Also made some headway on the restored rhino to cruise around in (still VERY WIP): http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/RhinoPIP1-2.jpg Lastly, a little teaser... My forthcoming Abaddon in World Eaters colours: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/AbaddonWIP1-3.jpg Enjoy, and let me know what you think!

Vomikron Noxis Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Cheers fellas, it's always nice to hear that people appreciate all my hard work :P imho the hair on dogfaces' back looks weird as it's the same colour as the 'skin' on his wings, just saying... I'm gonna blame my shoddy photography skills for this one; IRL the fur is quite considerably darker than the skin, trust me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few more pics for your perusal... got the Rhino finished and varnished: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/Rhinofinished.jpg And just to remind you, this is what it looked like before: http://i847.photobucket.com/albums/ab31/Vomikron_Noxis/40k%20pics/RhinoBefore1.jpg Something of an improvement?? Also, I snapped a few pics of my WE and DG getting stomped by some BA at the weekend.....

Master of fact Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Love the old school minis. Do you basecoat then dip your models, then do top colours again. If so it is a very good tecnique. cheers joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Vader Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 How do you get the dip so even on the large models like tanks? I'm using Army Painter dip on my LoTR minis and I've tried the brush-on method on a troll and bat swarm. I found that you don't have much time to remove the excess dip before it starts to go a bit tacky and you risk introducing air bubbles, maybe I'm brushing too much on. Anyway, how would you go about dipping a dragon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zincite Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Very nice, sir! Are you going to paint up one of these cute little doggies for this army? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vomikron Noxis Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 How do you get the dip so even on the large models like tanks? I tend to dip the larger models in sections. For example, I'll do one side of the LR and leave it to completely dry, before doing the next 'section'. Seems to work for me! I also use quite a large brush (but not too large) to ensure good coverage. Are you going to paint up one of these cute little doggies for this army? I've got one that I'd really rather like to paint, but tbh I'm not sure... I really have no idea what to use it as (being as Khorne lords on Juggers are pants since they can't be transported)! Any ideas for a good counts as? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
