Khorne's Eternal Hunt - KrautScientist's chaotic WIP thread 2024: Baby steps...


Recommended Posts

Thanks a lot for the kind words, guys! :smile.:

 

@ jaxom: I am actually quite alright with the bronze looking somewhat tarnished: It matches the scratches I have painted onto the armour, and also serves as a nice contrast to the relatively bright red.

 

@ Midnightmare: That's actually the "bog standard" power fist from the new CSM squad kit. Not hard to get hold of at all!

 

@ ElDuderino: Thanks a lot, mate! It has to be said that your helmet conversion is what really, really sells the model -- I'll be naming him "Brother Orska" in your honour!

 

@ DuskRaider & Kolgrim DeathHowl: Cheers, gents!

 

 

 

On a related note:

"Though the gates that stand between the mortal world and the immortal Realm of Chaos are now closed to me, still I would rather die having glimpsed eternity than never to have stirred from the cold furrow of mortal life. I embrace death without regret as I have embraced life without fear."

 

 

The model is finally finished! Once again, here's the artwork that inspired it all:

And here is the finished model:

As always, let me know what you think! :smile.:

100% win right there! I really should have a go at your ‘glamour shots’ as they always look so grimdark.

 

RE the Powerfist; thanks! I don’t own that kit yet but I am sure to get it at some point due to it’s all round chaos loveliness.

 

Again, Not Khargos is awesome, as are the whole crew together - you have really enjoyed these guys and it shows :tu: :tu:

So, three to go!

And if I am not wrong we have seen three WIP models (but one is an havok, so I guess not exactly kill team material).

But let me start with the 5 finished guys! I love the way they look so uniform together (the red helps a lot) despite of how marvelously different they are from each other. Lots of kits, AoS/40k, Old/New, Monopose/Multimart and still it all kinda "make sense"... I feel this is your greatest skill as long as conversion go (I have not enough skill to judge the paintJob, aside from the fact that it looks great).

The "black guy" is my favorite, then the one with naked arms, then the "old-but-gold" artwork guy who is not bloodspiller. You have done a great job in capturing the power of that old piece of art but there something around the month that bothers me, I do not know what it is, so I put him in third position. The first two are flawless.

 

On the three wip I am curious how the "ElDuderino" stile guy will end up, and I have to say I preferred the first variant of the mk3 helmet guy, but that probably depends on the picture. The classic CSM backpack is classic for a reason.

I concur with the "Happiest Havoc Ever" definition, he must love his job. Brilliant work and now I want to cut some bunny years too.

Krautybuddy!

Haven't been on the board in ix months and I only missed two pages? I hope you're doing well. Have you written a 2019 article at all? Linky please?

 

Also, this guy:

is already the second-best miniature of 2020! I'll be spawning my own baby-berzerker soon and he'll be the best miniature of 2020, but this guy comes close. ;)

Thanks for the kind words, guys! I really appreciate it! :)

So great to see you're back. buddy! As for only missing two pages, huh, it wouldn't be exaggeration to say that people haven't exactly been super eager to comment on the board for the last couple of months. And as for my pace, it was always clear that I would be taking my sweet time with each and every WE model for this project, at the cost of volume ;)

That guy looks absolutely burtal, dude! 

 

The entire miniature strikes me as a leap forward in your conversion style, actually. I would say that your style (like mine, in a way) is heavily influenced by '90s GW publications, and still retain that slight 'comic-y' tinge of flavour. This guys is moving beyond that and shows a sense of rough realism that came into GW culture with the Horus Heresy world building of Alan Bligh. This miniature isn't playing. This guy means business and he's going to kill you and then maim and burn your body. 

Wow.

Gee, buddy, that is high praise indeed! Thanks a lot!

I will say that this whole project seems like a bit of an evolutionary step in that, after all these years of building and painting World Eaters, I have now arrived at the point where the models actually end up looking very close to the way I've always wanted them to be: massive, baroque, highly individual and very sinister.

 

So anyway, Meteor Hammer guy's base isn't even done yet, and I still couldn't stop myself: I had to built another one...

I bought a khorne start collecting set box just to get the bits I wanted to kitbash 8 berserkers. I planned on selling what I didn't use to try and recoup costs.

 

I'm glad I haven't sold them yet as your conversions give me loads of inspiration to kitbash more! Thanks and keep them coming!
