Lestat Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I've been reading Betrayer and was inspired to build a Heresy-era Khârn. I wanted him to be before the Nails had fully taken hold, before he was all "Kill! Maim! Burn!".The pauldrons are just stuck on with blu-tac at the moment. I'm waiting on a couple of FW World Eater ones so I don't know if I'll just change one or both of them. The chainaxe haft has been extended using metal rod and milliput. I'm resisting adding any more chains or skulls as I want him to retain some semblance to a loyalist Marine. http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/hellon2wheelz/DSC_0004_zps4b14fbeb.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/hellon2wheelz/DSC_0005_zps7ee47e54.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/hellon2wheelz/DSC_0006_zps84eb078c.jpg I've just noticed that in the pics he looks like he's tripping over the Mk.III helm. I might have to reposition him slightly.................. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 He does look like hes falling, so it would probably be a good idea to reposicion him. But the mini looks promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 I might also raise his pistol arm as well so it's not pointing at the ground so much............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathspectersgt7 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Cool take on Khârn I would change the pose but other than that a cool fig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Re-positioned Khârn so he's more upright. I think he loses some of the aggressiveness though - maybe it'll grow on me. http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/hellon2wheelz/Kharn6_zpsb86839b1.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/hellon2wheelz/Kharn5_zps032dc47d.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/hellon2wheelz/Kharn4_zps3bcc0bc0.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daemon2027 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 I think he looks great. Maybe you can try and get the chain on the left arm at an angle to simulate movement. Also maybe greenstuff fabric that's blowing back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edge-of-Infinity Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Looking good so far If you're worried about the loss of him looking aggressive then you could always add that until you start painting. Another alternative is that you could get some green stuff and model some viscera and gore to hang off the axe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 I wanted to stay away from things like fabric and oaths of moment as I feel that the WE would not adorn their armour with things like that. I'll give the idea of glueing the chains at a angle - I'll probably end up with more on my fingers, but I'll give it a go :D Looking good so far If you're worried about the loss of him looking aggressive then you could always add that until you start painting.

Oh, I plan to paint him covered in plenty of blood and gore ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandMagnus Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Now it looks bad*ss. And you are right, Oath of moment dont really fit in with the WE. I think they are more the type of guys who shout their oaths in the heat of the battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suggestion of the gore droplets would look great if done well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMan Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Well didn't the WE cut their palms and smear the blood onto their helmet faceplates, in one of the battles in the third HH book? That could look cool. Great model though, much better now he isn't falling over. Haha. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know in the Betrayer novel, one of the humans (can't remember her name right now, but she's the ships Captain) bears a bloody hand print from one of the WE's on her uniform as a badge of honour. Waiting on the pauldrons to arrive - double Bank Holiday over Easter weekend means that the postal service is completely up the creek! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgnostosTheos Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Nice go on Khârn so far, the more "upright" version does not look as agressive as your first one, but still screams "anger" in my mind ;-) Some (or more) blood splatters are a must with a WE Captain, so you should def go for it ! Bloody hand print would be a nice touch, but is not "necessary". Lotara Sarin (the human Cpt of the Conqueror) wears a bloody hand print (Khârn's by the way) on her white uniform as a mark of honor granted by Angrom himself, but as far as I remember non of the "regular" legionaries...(but I am not 100% on this !). But the WE had some kind of rite, where they where cutting themself and smeared their helmets with the blood, so you could do something similar with him...

Lestat Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 That's her name - Lotara Sarin! I should have remembered as I was reading Betrayer on my lunch break today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lestat Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 Pauldrons arrived today Khârn is looking decidedly more like a captain of the World Eaters rather than a generic Marine now. http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/hellon2wheelz/kharn7_zpsa1139202.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/hellon2wheelz/kharn8_zps8a90a93a.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/hellon2wheelz/kharn9_zps79c2bc0b.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/hellon2wheelz/kharn10_zps7f73c15f.jpg http://i559.photobucket.com/albums/ss33/hellon2wheelz/kharn11_zpsab338084.jpg Also glued the chains at more of a flowing angle in order to give them some movement.

I'm using a few days leave next week to sort out bits and pieces around the house and garden. Khârn may get painted during that week along with a few other models currently waiting for application of paint :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lestat Posted April 5, 2013 Author Share Posted April 5, 2013 Looking great. The penultimate shot looks very fluid and menacing. Cheers! Menacing is good - for a World Eater anyway :D Right, managed to get him undercoated yesterday and thankfully, didn't get as much on me as expected due tot he windy conditions. Just waiting for the wash of Nuln Oil to dry. The wash is to add some depth and shading before I start building up the colour of the armour to a dirty white. I'm thinking of using Ulthuan Greay as a base colour and adding a little skull white for each coat until I get a nice, dirty looking white.

Brother-chaplain Astador Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Very nice modelling can't wait to see the finished product. Love the chains. My one complaint would be that without the right helmet he just doesn't feel Khârn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My one complaint would be that without the right helmet he just doesn't feel Khârn. I wanted to avoid the bunny-ears as I feel that they are post-heresy and more Khorne Berzerker than World Eater. In Betrayer, Khârn is described as having a crest on his helmet much like other Captains/Centurions from other Legions. The chains, the axe and the plasma pistol are all there to link my version of Khârn with the GW Berzerker version. Maybe he will feel like Khârn after he's got some more paint on him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
