geektom Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Hey all- I managed to get my hands on a brand new off the sprue Hellbrute, and I am going to use it as a "dither project" while I am working on my Storm Brothers. I plan to sell it afterwards- any suggestions on which chaos theme will be the most popular/appealing? I will not be doing any converting- just painting. I notice the Hellbrutenis not listed on GW's site anymore- is it an out of date model? I will be prepping and primering tonight, so all suggestions are welcome! Thanks!

Grotsmasha Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 The Hellbrute is exclusive to the Dark Vengeance starter box for the moment. As to which Legion to paint it, I've yet to see one painted up as Night Lords, most commonly I see Alpha Legion and The Black Legion.

geektom Posted December 1, 2013 Author Share Posted December 1, 2013 I was thinking Slaanesh/Emperor's Children- I have never done a pink/black scheme on anythng before... I was also considering painting the recessed face like a glowing forge- that would go well with red, or all black. Night Lords are the pale skinned, purple/black chapter, right?

Seleucus Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 "Night Lords are the pale skinned, purple/black chapter, right?" Nope, it's the dark blue and Brass/gold with bat-winged skull legion badge/icon I've wanted to see someone paint one up as a 'Fallen' hellbrute.

I don't know much about Chaos- can you explain what you mean by Fallen? Traitor Dark Angels, those left with Luther when Lion went to war. Whilst it would be painted to fit a chaos legion such as Emperors Children, Night Lords etc, it would still retain some of the original black DA colour scheme with some DA icons/chapter markings showing through.

Deathstrike_Chimera Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I'd paint it in a Nurgle scheme -- not sure about the appeal but I always think those are the coolest!

geektom Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 Looks great, amigo! Love the contrast of the yellow-green of the eyes and tentacles vs. the purple and black.
