Sad to see you turn away from the Iron Warriors, the models you had done helped me with my choice, but I get what your saying, there is no point in painting something if your not going to enjoy it.

 

The next KDK rhino is going to look great.

[sockwithaticket]

Still cranking out the quality.

Like pretty much everyone else I love that appropriation of the GSC vehicle dozer blade; couldn't be more Khornate. You've managed to make all three rhinos look visually interesting (no mean feat!) and distinct.

Good to hear you coming back to the loyalists for 30k and look forward to seeing what you do there.

[Mechanist]

That rhino amuses me because of the sheer ridiculousness of it, absolutely no chance the driver can see where he's going and just aims for the most screams with the second crewman occasionally sticking his head out of the top if things get quite. It's almost Ork level of greatness and I genuinely love it. 

As for my rhinos There actually isn't much for me to do beyond a few repairs it's just the old model really is very small. Maybe I can find a RT eara fan who wants them.

[Thousand Eyes]

Love the goliath dozer blade saw thing on the front of the 'zerkers Rhino, that is a great fit.

 

Quite looking forward to seeing your take on 30K Fists.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Thanks, guys!

I finally finished the last five of 30 Khorne Marines in my 1250 list.

Three of those five are made from DV Chosen models:

Of course, on of those meltagunners is the regular conversion you're seen before, with the DV Chosen with Bolter as a base, but I thought it'd be nice to picture the other two, that have the same base model:

... all of which goes to show how versatile those DV Chosen actually are. I'm very much enjoying converting them!
 

Oh, and here's the lkast ten-man Khorne Marine Squad in its entirety:http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/World%20Eaters/WP_20170116_011_zpsbjjb73fo.jpg

 

I hope you like them! Thanks for looking and for your comments and feedback

I'm now off to paint the last Rhino!

Replies!

 

@ Xanthier: I'm more than happy to come around to your side of the woods to help keep the Iron Warrior dreadm alive. It's just that I won't be contributing to it anymore.
 

@ Race Bannon: Good! I'm glad to have your continued approval! Better maek me an official Race Bannon Approves! seal.

 

@ Black_out: Thanks buddy! It means a lot! And it's mostly a lot of free time, due to a spinal injury. Prepare to have my production rate dwindlye, as I'm feeling better and better

@ paulJam: Haha, I guess that's the point?

 

@ The Psycho: Cheers, buddy! I'm glad you like it! After I finish the third Rhino, I'll be sure to start work on that IF Typhon I vowed ni the Tale of 230 Hobbyists.

 

@ hushrong: Aww, Perturabo sad... Oh well, I'm glad you look forward to my Fists.

 

@ Candleshoes: Cheers, buddy! If you want to see some of my fists, already, please check out my IF Showcase thread (link in my siggy)

 

@ The Hydra: Damn, that's a shame. But I'm also glad you have been inspired by those models. 

 

@ sockwithaticket: Thanks buddy! Yeah, my intention was to really make them all look disticntly different, yet unified. I'll be sure to make a group shot when all is done. 

 

@ Mechanist: Oooh I like that fluff: just follow the screams! Also, I'll e happy to take those RT rhino's off your hands! PM me. 

 

@ Thousand Eyes: Thanks again, mate. My 30K fists will look quite as my 40K fists, albeit without the mixed armour compilations.

[The Traitor]

They look great, I'm still waiting to see if GW releases new chaos marines, but if they don't I'll have to start e-bay hunting DV chosen, yours are very inspiring!

[Aasfresser]

Just like the last khorny bunch, simply amazing. I have such an urge to geht some of those AoS Khore Bunnies and start converting.

Time for some tzeentchy bits to cool off.

[Sgt. Blank]

Wow. I hadn't thought about building any more berserkers for my force til seeing these! Awesome work on the conversions and the paintwork!

[Mechanist]

PM incoming I'll get some pics and stuff first though and may look at ebay since the prices there are significantly better than expected, talk on PM. 

I'm in Korea till thursday and away at a LARP this weekend in birmingham so probably won't be able to do anything till monday.

 

That last squad is once again ace and as many have said your use of DV chosen is really showing off the kit. I'll definitely be popping back here when I get round to playing with my ones for BL chosen.

Glad you like the fluff idea no doubt well be seeing that rhino painted up soon, you've been a painting machine though these models I so wish I had the stamina for that. I reckon a nice rest though might be in order soon, a good day of gaming sound about right. Best of luck at the event may you take many skulls for the throne and come back refreshed ready to produce more brilliant models.

[Der_H]

Absolutely love the rhinos! Great idea using the GSC and LoS parts! Really clean and crisp painting too - can't find fault!

[Augustus b'Raass]

CHOO! CHOO!! ALL ABOARD THE KHORNE TRAIN!!

 

Ahem. The third and for now last Khornate Rhino is finished.

 

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/World%20Eaters/WP_20170118_001_zpsdroxuihk.jpg

 

And here it is with it's squad of Khornate Marines!

Hoho, I love how this insanity turned out. I think it breathes the ridiculousness of 40K like no other miniature I've ever made.

 

I'm also very pleased with how they all are different, yet look unified.

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/World%20Eaters/WP_20170118_009_zpskbm5nzb1.jpg

 

For detailed examples of this, please check the combibolter and its ammo, the search light and its plate, the top hatches, and the frontal plates.

The sides also display the differences:

Anyway, I hope you´re enjoyed this, and I´m looking forward to your C&C! 

 

I'm off to play a game against my buddy's 1250 rock-hard Harlequin list, so army pics will have to wait until tomorrow.

 

Cheers!

@ The Traitor: Oh god I hope GW releases new CSM. If the new Thousand Sons are any indication, they've sure learned a lot about improving aesthetics. 

 

@ Aasfresser: Do IT! DO IT NOW! Blood for the Blood God! Screw Tzeentch! (Oh and never mind the new Lord of Change)

 

@ Sgt. Blank: Thanks buddy! Glad they inspired you to build more butchers!

 

@ Mechanist: Thanks, buddy. PM answered. And most definitely new models coming. 

 

@ Der_H: I like your name, dude.Come back anytime.

[Aasfresser]

Amazing. Simply amazing. Those rhinos are awesome. Care for a pic of all your Deamonkin minis?

[The Traitor]

Wow, playing against such a well painted army with all those cool kitbashes must be awesome, this last rhino does look like a daemonic train indeed, but it's awesome nevertheless (if chaos dwarfs can pull it off so do you!).

[Noctem Cultor]

As always wow, I love taht your simple conversions always look the best and like they were always meant to be.

 

-Noctem

[Augustus b'Raass]

Thanks guys!

It was super fun painting this army in such a quick pace. I'm actually amazed that I painted thirty marines and three rhinos in exactly 21 days. Further work will require some add-ons to the army, like a unit of possessed, a Khornate Renegade Knight, two maulerfiends, a Skull Cannon, some a couple of small units of bikers, another big Flesh Hounds/dire wolf unit, and a swathe of daemons - I still have to rebase 30 Bloodletters and three Bloodcrushers. Oh! And t=of course the six objective markers, without which even this 1250 list doesn't feel complete. 

 

I played a fun 1250 battle against my regular hobby buddy Ruben's Dark Eldar today at GW Amsterdam South. 

His list:

Venom with Lahmian (warlord)

Five Venoms wtih 5 DE Warriors w/1 Blaster

2 Ravagers with 3 Dark Lances

2 Razorwing Jetfighters with Dark Lances and 4 Rockets

 

My list:

Juggerlord with Sigil, Fist and Skull Helmet

2x 10 Khorne Marines + 2 Meltaguns in Dozer Rhino

1x 10 Khorne Marines + 2 Flamers in Dozer Rhino

1x 10 Flesh Hounds

2 Maulerfiends

 

I was very lucky to make two It Will Not Die rolls for the same wounded Maulerfiend nin a row, which allowed him to run around the table destroying venoms and a Ravager. Other highlights were him completely shooting up my Fleshhound and Lord unit, me Ramming a Ravager to death in two turns with an empty rhino, five Khorne Marines with flamers destroying a Venom with Passengers in one turn, and my last Aspiring Champion ascending to Daemon Princedom, only to be completely useless the rest of the game. The store manager took some pics, which I hope I can share with you later.

 

I also promise to make an army shot and a complete collection shot of all my Daemon Kin up to this point, tomorrow.

 

Replies!
 

@ Aasfresser: Thanks! And tomorrow, promised :)

 

@ The Traitor: I hope it is! My regular opponents and I have kind of a a rule that we won't play against unpainted units unless it's in a store toournament (which rewards painted armies anyway), so I almost always play against painted armies. 

 

@ Noctem Cultor: Thanks buddy! I consider that a high compliment, as I am a firm beliver in the less is more philosophy (which I worked into over the last couple of years, btw. If you look at my early Night Lords vehicles, the opposite is showing - they're so cluttered!) 

[hushrong]

THAT IS AWESOME!

 

"How do you drive with that plow on front? Periscope? Remote cameras or sensors?

 

"Nah, I just following the screams and go full steam ahead. Works every time."

[Kierdale]

I may not like their choice of patron deity, but those berserkers are fantastic! The boots are not particularly noticeable and look fine anyway :tu:

And their rhinos are suitably crazy. I absolutely love the third dozer blade!

[Daemon2027]

Love the newest Rhino, the dozed blade is awesome. Imagine trying to stare that down, it's like a metal demon face coming at you.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Thanks guys! Here's the army shot I promised.

 

My 1250 list: 

 

Chaos Lord of Khorne with Juggernaut, Powerfist, and Sigil of Corruption

2x 10 Khorne Marines + 2 Meltaguns, Rhino with Dozer Blade

1x 10 Khorne Marines + 2 Flamers, Champion with Combi-flamer, Rhino with Dozer Blade

1x 10 Flesh Hounds

2 Maulerfiends (notice I'm subbing two Blood Slaughters for them until i have two actual Maulers painted in KDK colours)

 

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/World%20Eaters/temporary_zpsyxhetkm3.jpg

 

The plan with them is basically throw everything towards the enemy, charge in turn two with the lord in the Hound unit and with the Maulers, turn three with the marines. If they're still operable, Ram or tank shock anything that's left with the Rhino's afterwards. Simple, but effective. It's proven to be a fun and quite effective list so far. I haven't won all games, but certainly more than half of it with them. There hasn't been a single game where I haven't been able to summon either a Daemon Prince or a Bloodthirster, either. Lot's of fun. 

 

Anyway! Here's the picture of my entire Khorne Daemonkin collection so far. I also have 30 Bloodletters and 3 Bloodcrushers, but as I mentioned before, I still need to rebase them

http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/World%20Eaters/temporary_zpsd3frww8q.jpg

 

Apologies for the weird quality of the lighting, but it was suuuuuuper sunny out today and my phone camera is crap for anything but macro shots. In any case, the collection is shaping up to be a nice all round grouping, with the addition of the 40 Power Armoured dudes in the six weeks or so. Hopefully I'll manage to rebase and repaint the daemons soon, and add some more bikers and fleshhounds, as well as the Skull Cannon and Renegade Knight I still have lined up.   

Thanks for looking! C&C as always, much appreciated.

@ hushrong: haha I actually thought about dremeling out one skull and replaing it with a servo skull - to act as a 'periscope', but then I noticed the lens next to the search light - which narrowly looks over the shield, and I thought that, along with the lenses on the combibolter, could function as a sight. But only if the scream-radar known as hearing fails.

 

@ Kierdale: Cheers buddy! Even though I despise the dishonorable schemes of your guys' patron god, I accept the compliment!

 

@ The Hydra: CHOO CHOO! haha it'd be soo scary to see that thing IRL. It's over two marines high - which means it has a height of about 5 meters! That's two stories of a building! Insane!

[The Traitor]

What a stunning force!!! I hope one day I can display something half as good, you've got yourself a really impressive army, and most of it in a surprisingly short time! 

[Biohazard]

It's an outstanding looking force buddy. As someone else has mentioned the boots aren't even that noticeable now they're all painted up. The LoS Dozer looks awesome on the Rhino, I haven't got any pics of my planned Land Raider project yet but I'll let you know as soon as I do. :tu:

[Race Bannon]

Great work! So ... What do the carry cases look like ^_^

[Vairocanum]

The Khorne Train is glorious! Your KDK force is one of the best armies I've ever seen. The contemptor is definitely my favorite, would love to see more chaos dreads from you! Looking forward to seeing more stuff whether loyalist or traitors 

[Kizzdougs]

So so good, dude :tu:

 

The Daemonkin army looks brilliant!

[Kobrakei]

Such an ace KDK force, great job :)
