Some task you have set yourself!

As we are both of the Legion I wish you all the luck as you've made it to the 41st millennium

Soul Grinder looks like a nice kit to start your vow with, enjoy, and I'll look forward to seeing it done :)

[ChaptermasterDemon7]

After spending the past two days going through this entire blog from the beginning to now, I am thoroughly glad I started at the beginning. You NL, WE, IF and Daemonkin are superb and outstanding. I will always be a fan of your Midnight Clad marines. I am about to follow this to get me inspiration to work on my DIY army that descend from the Blood Angels (yes, yes I know, I probably should follow my heart and succumb to the calling of Khorne and paint WE's, but Blood Angels are close to my heart ;P) I cannot wait to see what to see paint on all your models you have vowed for the ETL! Also, I am rooting for you to win against Kurama for y'alls little wager~ ;)

 

CMD7 signing out!

The Blood Angels only need one step to fall to Khorne. Take that step brother! Fall to Khorne! Join Chaos for ETL! We have cookies!

[Augustus b'Raass]

Thanks guys, for the comments. Especially during these frantic painting times, they help me enormously with motivation. Like fellow frater KrautScientist has recently stated: I find comments to be much more of a motivator than likes - especially if frater offer advice, feedback, or criticism. I am well aware my painting is alright, but it's never perfect and I am one of those people who really does want to continually improve. Feedback, both positive and negative, is IMO the best way to learn from others (as long as it is offered constructively, of course). For this very reason I always ask for it, and am very grateful for every comment. So thanks to all for helping me out in that way!

 

@ KrautScientist: Indeed, brother! I can't tell yuou how relieved I am for having come up with a satisfying red, which incidentally also looks good next to my older Khornate stuff. This thread having come to page 88 is indeed awesome, and I am so happy people like you leave comments often. Thanks! Blood for the Blood God!

 

@ helterskelter: Indeed! A shame you are still living in the past brother. Why test fate and not join the realm of chaos today? ;)

 

@ ChaptermasterDemon7: Duede thank you for that comment. I am always so happy to read that people go through this entire log and find it inspirational. :) :tu: Please do go ahead and answer the Call of Khorne. You know you want to.... ;)

 

@ Lord Thorn: YES COOKIES FOR ALL WHO JOIN CHAOS!!!

As much as I would love to dive head first into the blood bath of Khorne, I need to finish what I have planned for my Blood Guardians before I walk that path. I still have five Recon Marines from FW to paint so... ;)

[Augustus b'Raass]

BOOM! Soul Grinder finished. It's my first Chaos miniature in over eight months, and boy did it feel good. It's also my first miniature finished this ETL, and it tastes like moar MOAR!!!

I hope you like him! Feedback and comments in gereral most welcome. Thanks for looking!

 

One to the Blood Slaughterers. ;)

 

Cheers,

 

Augs

 

@ ChaptermasterDemon7: Fair enough, buddy. But eventually you know you wshall succumb to the roaring whispers of the Blood God!!!

[Aasfresser]

That looks really good

[Midnightmare]

You never fail to disappoint, do you? The flesh colour makes a great contrast against your red/gold combo :tu:

[Eldrick Shadowblade]

Looking good! Really like the detail on the base

[Brother Mayhem]

What size is the base may I ask? It really adds to the whole miniature, which looks amazing by the way! 

[Augustus b'Raass]

Thanks guys!

 

@ Aasfresser: Cheers, buddy!

 

@ Midnight Runner: Thanks :D Yeah I'm pretty happy with the result. I got the flesh recipe from KrautScientist. :tu:

 

@ Eldrick Shadowblade: Thanks bud. I try to make each base very detailed. :) Glad it came across as such. 

 

@ Brother Mayhem: It's the 160mm Citadel Round base from the GW website. It's perfect for the soul grinder/defiler! And thanks!

[GhostMalone]

Dude.... So so jealous one day you will have to teach me let me be your trainee!

[Soric]

The Soulgrinder looks pretty cool, but I think there's something missing... oh yeah, wheres the blood? Looking forward to seeing what you do next.

[Nemac Vradon]

Beautiful work as always dude. The red and gold do indeed look fantastic against the skin tone you've chosen. What do you have next in the pipeline?

@ Brother Mayhem: It's the 160mm Citadel Round base from the GW website. It's perfect for the soul grinder/defiler! And thanks!

 

So you're saying you could fit four of them into a 15.5"x12" Battlefoam tray?

 

Interesting...

[Augustus b'Raass]

Cheers, guys! I've already started on the next entry in my vow, the Blood Slaughters. Creepy Khornate walkers that pack a punch and can be also run as Maulerfiend in regular games. 

 

I'm opting for a simple colour scheme for them, similar to the Soul Grinder. As I'm writing this, I already have all the base colours (metal, gold and red) down, so on to detailing. Hopefully by the end of this weekend, I'll have them finished. 

 

I also found out I ran out of UHU two component epoxy, so I can't start building the Typhon and Spartan yet! Woopsie! Better include a drive to my local hobby shop in my weekend plans....

@ Kurama: One day.... after the ETL. After I beat you bloody! ;) Blood for the Blood God!!!

 

@ Soric: Aha! Well, they're about to get blooded!

 

@ Nemac Vradon: Thanks dude! The next proejct are the Blood Slaughterers. After that there'll either be a Dreadclaw, or the Kytan Daemon Engine.... 

 

@ Res Ipsa Loquitor: I have no idea, buddy. 12" x 15,5 is about 30cm x 45cm, right? Perhaps you could fit two in that, because the model is quite bulky. Four? No way, unfortunately :(. :tu:  

[Res Ipsa Loquitur]

Hmm. The pre-cuts only have slots for two SG/Defiler sized models, so that sounds about right.

 

If you don't mind answering, i) how hard do you think it would be to magnetise the body and 'thorax'/legs of the SG to keep the height down for storage/transport; and ii) how tall would the SG thorax/legs be without the body attached, roughly? Less than 4"?

[Flint13]

I like how your Darth Vader and First Order accessories are on opposite sides of your painting mat.

 

Also I just got an Impaler and a Slaughterer in the mail myself! What are the odds of the timing on that? Totes excited to see what you do with them. 

[Soldier of Dorn]

Soul Grinder looks absolutely bad-ass, man! I've been meaning to buy one for a couple years now, but never got around to picking one up. Maybe that'll be my reward for myself when I complete my ETL vow. The skin might possibly benefit from another wash over it, in my opinion, but it still looks really good. Out of curiosity, what is the recipe for that? It looks like something that'd be handy to have in one's repertoire.

 

I love Blood Slaughterers, can't wait to see how those turn out for you.

[gaurdian31]

Really like that soul grinder, though maybe pick out the eyes a little more? They kind of get lost in all that great looking flesh. Can't wait to see you do with those Blood Slaughterers and hopefully that Kytan sees some paint soon.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Cheers for the comments, gang! I appreciate them, they motivate me to spend more time on the hobby.

 

@ Rex Ipsu Loquitor: Perhaps, although I know not of which pre-cuts you are speaking. 1. If you want to do that without supporting the thorax (which I did, if you look closely you can see a stud going up its abdomen) it'd be virtually impossible to magnetize the legs so that they support the weight. If you do use a support stud in the thorax, perhaps you could hide ball magnets in the bal joints of the legs, and put normal magnets in the ball joint sockets? 2. Yeah, 4" sounds about right. Planning to do a KDK slaughtercult list with several SGs? :d

 

@ Flint13: Ha! I didn't even notice that. The New Order cup was a recent birthday gift from the GF and the Vader key chain are my car keys. ;) About the simultaneous purchase: no coincidence at all. Great minds think alike. ;) Although you jinxed it by vowing in the HH strategium. :(

 

@ The Psycho: Cheers, bro! Kraut said somehting similar, so I'll give the flesh another wash. It's his recipe. If you cntrl+f search for 'rakarth' on his WiP about 10-20 pages back, you'll find the recipe.

 

@ guardian31: Thanks, and I will do on pciking out the eyes a little more. With blue. :tu:

Wow. I honestly would have never believed that the scheme and claw could work for a Khorne Daemon, but it did. Awesome buddy  

 

Edit: What base size will you use for your Blood Slaughthererereres?

[Augustus b'Raass]

Thanks gang for all the comments. They really keep this thread going and inspire me to focus on the hobby!

 

Today is a glorious day in my continued path into the depravity that is Khorne worship, because I have finished the two Blood Slaughters.

 

Loooaaaaads and loads of pictures:

I hope you enjoyed that as much as I enjoyed painting these, because they are a blast. Those creepy legs are a chore, but totally worth it. I´m so happy I added them to my collection and KDK army.

 

Thanks for looking and commenting. Seriously, you guys keep me going!

 

Reply!

@ Atia: Cheers, girl! Don't you think that weird daemon claw is Khornate, normally? Or were you referring to the metal claw? The Blood Slaughters' bases are the normal Oval bases used for the Maulerfiend and most Flyers. It´s the 120x92mm one, I believe.

Oh my, so glad you are doing this army, they are immense; you have on your to do list some of my favourite models ever - these two included. You have really done the justice B)

I was under the impression that the 'daemon body' part was a separate piece.

 

Slaaneshi Daemon cohort for the Children of the Violet Heart, actually. I need a storage and transport solution for ca. ten SGs...

 

Thanks for answers.

 

PS. You can just call me Res.
