Skrundle87 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Both legs done, blue-grey-purpled up the flesh, think it's much better anyway here's a peek http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0249_zps1pojpjxl.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284490-skrundles-chaos-kitbashes-khorne-daemon-centaur/page/4/#findComment-3558880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm Blade Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 It pains me to compliment you on this blasphemous use of a holy Dread Knight, but……….. This looks really cool!  In regards to the shoulder pistons, have you thought about  leaving them where they are and sculpting muscles onto them? I have seen the incorporation of muscle and machine on many chaos models these days and I feel that this could work here as well.  I now have to pick up the pace on my GKs so that I can start on my NDK and banish this abomination!!!!  Nice work! I am looking forward to seeing more.

Forté Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 :tu: defo more unnatural now. The metal feet look great too. Not just a fantastic conversion but so much promise on where it is going too.

Beachymike123 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 this looks awesome skrundle. i love the use of pieces and the way you've trialed certain parts to get a great looking model. looks awesome so far, just remember its a marathon not a race with painting the fella. looks good so far though, i hope you find joy in this beautifully blasphemous piece. i like it a lot to be honest. thanks for the thread skrundle, i was thinking of doing something similar but more machine (i'm an IW player) and my GS are no match for yours. maybe more dark mechanicus though, i love 'em. great thread skrundle, thank you for sharing and i'll be keeping a watchful eye on this thread for more inspiration. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284490-skrundles-chaos-kitbashes-khorne-daemon-centaur/page/4/#findComment-3559173 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Awesome ! Thanks guys, I have to admit I found my self losing faith on this model a few times with things not working out the way I'd hoped and such, but I'm feeling good now thanks to you guys and the progress so far  @grimm as far as the shoulder pistons go I think I'm in a good place havingbrrplaced them with the heavy boltees for now, shall see how many times my mind changes on that one though haha  @ forte, funny you should mention the feet. Somehow these seem to grab my attention as well such a small part yet makes a decent impact  @leinman initially it was intended as an iron warriors piece but I got a bit carried away with the daemonics of it and felt it got too far away from machine for it to suit, I look forward to seeing what you come up with Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284490-skrundles-chaos-kitbashes-khorne-daemon-centaur/page/4/#findComment-3559187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 This is looking really promising so far, you know how much I enjoy defiling grey knight machines and this going to be epic once it's finished. I'd maybe give the fleshy pieces a very light drybrush of Rakarth flesh or whatever the equivalent is, it'll help make the muscles look almost like dead flesh. Just a suggestion though buddy. Look forward to the next update.

Skrundle87 Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 Cheers biohazard, good to see you in here again. I agree the flesh needs that little something more. I plan to finish the model and then go around and pick up the last few highlights and such then but good advice I was trying to think of how to make it that one bit mote like dead flesh Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284490-skrundles-chaos-kitbashes-khorne-daemon-centaur/page/4/#findComment-3559349 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrundle87 Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 Torso is half done, social commitments get in the way of my chances of finishing it tonight but descent progress made  http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0251_zpsynayhexi.jpg  http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0252_zpsnmo2hwzk.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284490-skrundles-chaos-kitbashes-khorne-daemon-centaur/page/4/#findComment-3560889 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Martemis Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 This is definately one of those ideas I am going to have to steal (with ample warning) - for if I ever go back to my iron warriors. Looks awesome and I think that towering over a wall of cultists would look awesome and well, chaotic.

Skrundle87 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 So I'm torn now, I've painted the head and mask and am very happy with both, don't know if I should stick a mask over the ugly mug or leave it clear  http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0258_zpsthl6rygs.jpg  Thoughts?

KrautScientist Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Seconded. While it may be a shame for the nicely painted DP head, the skull mask just works so well on this model.

Skrundle87 Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 Yeah I thought it would win out, as you guys have said the mask simply suits the model better cheers guys, hopefully I can get an arm done tonight Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284490-skrundles-chaos-kitbashes-khorne-daemon-centaur/page/4/#findComment-3562115 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skrundle87 Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Left arm almost done highlights on the left and paint on the right tomorrow hopefully  http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0272_zpsncym2qxu.jpg http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0271_zpsexg9vtle.jpg Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284490-skrundles-chaos-kitbashes-khorne-daemon-centaur/page/4/#findComment-3562609 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Keyaetus Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I think the un-masked version nearly suits more, as if to show how really mutated the thing actually is. The mask does rock aswell however :P Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284490-skrundles-chaos-kitbashes-khorne-daemon-centaur/page/4/#findComment-3562670 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quixus Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 How many wounds/hull points does the thing get? If it is 2 make the mask a wound counter.

Skrundle87 Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 I think the only issue with that quixus is getting the mask to attach and detach nicely  Anyway second arm is done now, minus the sword, I can't decide quite how to paint it, I really like the look of krautscientists blue weapons on his world eaters and I'm thinking something along that line, I think blue contrasts really well with red.  Anyway here's the pics, coming along nicely I think  http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0277_zpspqmlpvcp.jpg  http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af171/skrundle87/Mobile%20Uploads/IMAG0276_zpsigq3jayr.jpg  Not far from done now, sword, shoulder pads, shoulder mounted bolters and then some small accessories and such, the hardest part to come will be deciding how to base this monster As I've said before when I'm done the whole thing will get a once over of touch ups so advice along the way is very welcome Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/284490-skrundles-chaos-kitbashes-khorne-daemon-centaur/page/4/#findComment-3564387 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrautScientist Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 First of all, let me say that this big guy is looking fantastic already! Amazing work! My one suggestion would be to pick out the rivets (on the faceplate as well as the various Dreadknight armour plates) in bronze as well. It's only a small thing, but I think you might be astonished by the difference it'll make! I am, of course, honoured that you consider going for a similar colour to the one I use for the sword! In case you want to go through with it, here's a quick recipe: 1.) Mix Vallejo Halcon Milenario Turquoise (GW Hawk Turquoise or its newer version will also work) with a little black to darken the colour.Paint the whole area with that mix. 2.) Using a thin brush, pick out the edges of the blade with the original Turquoise colour. This will obviously be much easier if the sword has serrated edges (like a Bloodletter sword or most chaos weapons). 3.) Finally, mix the Turquoise with a drop of white and slowly build up a gradient toward the tip of the weapon, adding more white as you go. Of course you can change the effect by adding more and more white or starting lower and lower towards the hilt of the sword. In my case, I just used a little white and kept the effect to the tip of the blade. And that's it. In any case, keep up the great work!
