Yeah, I just remembered that kit after I posted. The funniest part is that I have used that kit myself before too... sigh...

[Shovellovin]

If you're looking for another chubby cultist, I recommend the leader of the Mercator Sanguis Slaver Entourage. Pricey because it's ForgeWorld but is a really cool model. 

[Augustus b'Raass]

Some WIP shots of the Brass Scorpion's armour plates:

 

 

In addition, I did some work on a Khorne Berzerker. 

The rumours are real: big chainaxes are going to be a thing. So I doubled down. :D


Hope you like ;) 

Cheers

Haha that's a good one! Funny thing is, guess what I used as a base for the Chain Lord of my homebrew Mercator Sanguis - back when the FW miniatures hadn't even been leaked, let alone released yet?

[BadgersinHills]

That Cultist might not be pretty, but he's really quite brutal. Love it.

 

The painting on the Scorpion looks really nice. The Berzerker is lovely, I really like the pose. 

[Smoke Frog]

Wow the brass scorpion plates are exquisitely painted! Looking forward to seeing that thing assembled. 

[Doghouse]

Great work on that cultist champion mate! :tu:

[YannTheMad]

The brass scorpion looks awesome so far, I'm kindda jealous XD

 

Mine crushes my moral each time I look at it, so I never work on it

[Augustus b'Raass]

Woop! Finished a Berzerker! 

I heard Bererkers are going to get the big chainxes too, so I anticipated. ;) 

And in case the same happened with CHainswords, here is one with a giant chainsword. If not, he's still WYSIWYG because he has a chainaxe strapped to his back., 

 

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

Cheers

@BadgersinHills: Well you don't know him. He might have a very cute hobby. Like knitting. ;) 

 

@ Smoke Frog: Hey man, I've never seen you comment here (or have forgotten) so welcome to the thread. I'll post the scorpion tomorrow. :)

@ Doghouse: Thanks bud! If Astartes got chubby this could be a ruescale version ;) 

 

@ YannTheMad: Hi buddy - I don't remember seeing you comment ehre ever, so welcome to the thread. :) If I may give you some advice on big, morale crushing projects, is to just chip away at it, consistently. So do something about it every day and do that one thing to completion. Even if it's just something small like 'I'll paint the the base metal colour on its third leg today' - that's achievable in five minutes and then you'll have that done, never to be needed to be done again. If you keep that up, you'll quickly get into a rythm on 'completing stuff' and that's when inspiration hits. There's nothing like consistency to get your morale up. You don't need inspiration or high morale, you need consistency. :tu:

Hey Aug, great to hear from you again!
Congratulations on fortunate solving of the son's problems! I can only imagine it must have been tough for you guys!.

Loving how the Scorpion is coming along! Great base and a sweeeet blend of clean vibrant looks with scratches and weatherig. It's gonna be a sight to see all the nice details on that piece!
Great work on the Berserkers and ogre too! 

[Valkia the Bloody]

Oh wow.

This Berserker is absolutely amazing.

Great work!

[Brother Carpenter]

Nice to see you progressing again.

Congrats on you second child +1 on the worries and relief when things seem to be wrong but turn out ok in the end with newborn.

Really liking the scorpion, but that cultist is ace as well!

Keep it up.

Happy to hear about healthy baby, storm weathered. 

 

Loving that scorpion in particular, really cool way of attaching the skulls to the chains with that sculpting. The posing and the base are awesome, as well.

[BadgersinHills]

Berzerkers look great. The one with the Chainsword is really nice.

 

I'm sure the Cultist loves knitting! 

[Gederas]

New 'Zerkers look good (I actually found my kitbashed ones and will be starting on them again) and glad to hear Nurgling #2 is doing well.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Boom! 

Two more berzerkers.

This time a 'regular one' with Chainaxe and chainsword...


Plus the squad's comms officer/musician!


I hope you likey!

Thanks for looking and for your C&C. 

Cheers

@ Brother Carpenter: Will do, bud! Thanks

 

@ Khornestar: What a cool name you have LoooooooL! Thanks for the kind words :)

[Viridia]

After a long period of hobby downtime, it's always a pleasure to come back and see what you've got up Augustus. Absolutely smashing these Berzerkers out of the park!

[Augustus b'Raass]

Brass Scorpion Finished!! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's it. That's all I have. I hope it wasn't too dissapointing. Thanks for looking. I appreciate your C&C - comments especially - they're what keeps this thread going after all

Cheers

OH man, that's just amazing. You're models are stupendous, as always. 

[Chaplain Raeven]

Man, that's a beautifull beastie. The WE-scheme fits perfectly!

[Xin Ceithan]

The original WE scheme on the Scorpion is quite unexpected but it does indeed looks absolutely ace!

And I love the Berxerker Bards to bits every time I see one of those :) 

[YannTheMad]

@ Augustus b'Raass : Been following you for quite some time honestly, but i'm not big on comments. Thanks a lot for the hints

 

So 

 

I'm usually not a big fan of the pre-heresy World Eater color scheme BUT

 

It is absolutely awesome on the brass scorpion. It gives it a nice,  unique look (never seen any with the original WE colors really), while still been a terrfying beast of metal and murderous intents.

 

Love it.

 

Period

[War of the Eagle]

The brass scorpion is everything I wish modern chaos demon engions aspired to be. The World eater crisp white and blue is always a excellent contrast for the lethality and splashes of gore the army tends to take with them. You did an amazing job here, props to you.

[ChazSexington]

Gorgeous! Almost quote-replied so people would have to scroll past twice :) 

[DuskRaider]

Impressive... most impressive..

 

Not really sure how I feel about all of the decals on it, however. I think you could have used one of the larger Legion insignias and bisected it smack dab in the middle with some smaller ones like you have on the pedipalps. Overall it looks fantastic, though. Loving the base as well!

[Razblood]

Bloody hell fire you've been busy!

 

Had to go away for a while and the first thread I've caught up on is this one.

 

Beatifully brutal work on those World Eaters.

 

Congrats on the second nurgling, glad the surgery worked out well.
