Augustus b'Raass Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 New helmet looks way cooler indeed, and I'd love to see it with cabling etc. But.... the 'terminator' feel is lost a little on the new one, which I think is caused because the helmet is slightly bigger and thus ends up slightly higher, making him lose that characteristic hunched pose of terminators. Nevertheless, I still like the last option as a model the best, so I say go for that one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Kallozar Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 A quick question about your nurgle terminator lord. Which shoulder pads did you use for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Hiya ladies and gents! I am not dead, I just had a very busy week or two ;) Anyway, back to the more entertaining things in life, right? First up, regarding that converted Nurgle AOBR Termie: Thank you all for your well-considered feedback on the matter! The longer I keep thinking about it, the more it feels like the head doesn't even have to be an either/or choice in the first place: Maybe I should just paint both helmets and leave them exchangeable, so I get the best of both worlds? In other news: Oh my god, it's finally happening: Here's my first... Call of Chaos Update I do of course realise that I really need to get my act together re: my Call of Chaos vow. Unfortunately, the last few weeks have been very busy, and I am also a lazy bastard, of course. But I am happy to announce that I have made some serious headway regarding my vow: First up, I have spent some work on my Forgefiend: After spending quite a bit of time on the body and hind legs, however, I hit a bit of a motivational slump. So while I will eventually (have to) return to my very own Dinobot, I have decided to paint something a bit less demanding in the meantime: My Khârn conversion: So far, I've only applied the base colours: No washes or highlights whatsoever so far. And while I'll admit the model isn't anything to write home about (yet), the fact that this guy is my entry in the current competition over at Throneofskulls.com means that I'll have to get him up to snuff until the weeekend -- so you can expect him to take shape rather quickly now. And, in any case, I have finally started painting -- that has to count for something! ;) As always, let me know what you think! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
recon0321 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 How did you paint the flesh on his arm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 So far, it has only been painted with Rakarth Flesh. But the arm is nowhere near finished -- there'll be a wash next, and after that, the higlights and maybe a more selective application of washes in the recesses etc. Since this model isn't so much a part of my World Eaters but rather a small project of its own, I'll probably forego the usual, greyish skin I use on my World Eaters in favour of a more realistic skin colour.

KrautScientist Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Cheers, guys! ;) @ Augustus b'Raass: Huh, I thought that's what everyone is calling them ;) Anyway, smalll update on the Betrayer: The red and bronze areas are mostly complete at this point, although the model's still missing a ton of cleanup, small details etc. As always, let me know what you think! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrautScientist Posted November 26, 2014 Author Share Posted November 26, 2014 Any plan to buy the FW Khârn? ...you mean after having built and painted my own version? Erm...no. :) Seriously, though: I'm not a big fan of the FW Khârn model: The pose is just wrong in all kinds of ways to me. There are some nice enough 40k conversions of the model floating around, but I am also reasonably happy with how my own model is coming along.

Augustus b'Raass Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Seriously, though: I'm not a big fan of the FW Khârn model: The pose is just wrong in all kinds of ways to me. I know right!? I feel teh same way. For starters, his bare and armoured arms are both on the wrong side, and the way he holds is just... off. Yours by contrast.... :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDuderino Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Oh i just noticed Kharns torso, that's good bits usage. I've been trying to use that myself but never got it to look any good. Looking forwards to seeing him finnished! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaurdian31 Posted November 27, 2014 Share Posted November 27, 2014 Maybe its the angle but the bare arm looks bent back oddly. Could also just be me. The painting looks great for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted November 28, 2014 Author Share Posted November 28, 2014 Aw, guys, I am so proud of you: There I was, just stepping out for a moment, and I come back to a discussion of Dita von Teese's t...tassels. You've gotta love this place! :) @ Augustus b'Raass: That was very cleverly done, mate! ;) @ guardian31: Well, I won't lie to you: From the perspective of anatomy, the bare arm may indeed be ever so slightly hokey. It was really hard, however, to find an arm that both fit the scale of the model and didnt look too out of place when used next to an armoured arm, so I'll have to ask you to slightly suspend your disbelief, I fear. ;) Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the emperor is scottish Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 As always kraut love your stuff. Always nice to see you dip your toe into another project ie your nurgle warband but your world eaters are as ever a great source of inspiration. I will hopefully put the tips you gave me on rust effects to good use soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 @ the emperor is scottish: Cheers for the kind words, mate! So, boys and girls: Here's the chunky update for today: Call of Chaos Update Would you believe it, I finally finished painting my Khârn the Betrayer conversion.
