...but blood - blood is forever

Just seen your amazing Ammo Bunker thread as well as this (on Kraut's recommendation).

Holy Mother of ........................... eek.gif

There's no way I can compete with this. The white. Dear God above, how do you do such a crisp white?

yes how do you do your white..im severely struggling

Thanks guys!

The white is very simple, the oil colors are doing all the work smile.png

skull white spray undercoat
50:50 Water:Badab Black or Armypainter Dark Tone (the new GW wash, nuln oil does not work as good as those two)
White drybrush

Now just add decals and you are ready for the oils.

For this I mix some brown and black oil color with a lot of white spirit and add it to the hole model. This oilwash will dry very slowly, so it gives you around 2 hours to manipulate the paint. You can use a clean brush to make streaks or remove paint where you don't want it.
When the wash is almost dry I use some Oil based wheathering solutions from AK Interactive, which are basicly the same what I mixed, but with less thinner. I use "rust streaks" for a little rust effekt and "engine oil" to further darken some recess.

Let it dry over night and paint some selected edges with skull white. Thats it smile.png

Love Jeddek. Love the banner. Can't wait to see him painted up, I think you really captured the feel of a veteran World Eater. As an aside, do you intend on altering the FW Khârn's posing at all? The model looks really wonky as is and even with your awesome crest, I don't think it'll redeem the model unless some other changes are made.

Well I am mostly ok whith the pose.. the bigger issue for me are the to much heroic scaled legs, they are way to massive compared to a normale Space Marine.

It's really great to see you giving the characters from Betrayer actual representations for your army! Amazing!

Regarding Khârn, man, the new model may be more detailed, but your old conversion is still awesome, precisely because it is based on both the 40k version of the character and that piece of Wayne England artwork at the same time. That said, I am quite certain that your finished "new" Khârn wiill blow us away, but the pose on the FW version is just a little messed up: Have you considered rotating the hand holding the pistol outwards, so the pistol is actually turned towards the oncoming enemy? I think that might make it at least a bit more believable.

As for Jeddek, the model's already looking very cool! The scarred face is a far better match for him than for Khârn! While I understand your thoughts on the banner, however, I am just a sucker for cloth banners for a company, so I think I'd prefer an actual banner below the top, but that's just a matter of personal preference!

Will you be doing a model for Skane at some point? Preferrably without a helmet? msn-wink.gif

Keep up the amazing work! smile.png

I think the arm on Khârn is more or less ok how it is. He is full into this rotating motion so I guess shooting something at the same time would be to much.. also, it would be difficult to re arange the arm, as it has this gladiator stlyed armor on.

I would love to do Skane one day and I agree he must be bare headed for everyone to see his augumented throat. Next up will be Delvarus with some shipboarders tho.

It would seem Yeddek woke up on the wrong leg that morning. Nice mini, that face (Khârn, right?) is really brutal.

Yes the head is from Khârn, lovely details on that one.

The banner choice is excellent - far more utilitarian than a large, flapping piece of fabric. Where did all the pieces for it come from?

Can't wait to see the FW Khârn done up next to your custom model. biggrin.png

Its all scrach build out of plastic card rods and sheets.

Khârn is now ready to get some primer:

I replaced the plasma pistol with one from the Chaos Space Marines. I think this one fits size wise much better and also has no big ass skull attached to it.


And here is a new mockup for the standard:

I added one more decorative plate and replaced the eagle with the world eater symbol. Still all just bluetacked...
Also thinking about to add a spearhead (so it can be used as a weapon^^) and maybe a chain with some trophys on it.

Some skulls hanging in chains would fit the vexilla I think, it would at least add to the WE feel. You are right the chaos plasma pistol looks better than the original, I think the plasma pistols are one of the few things made by FW that I dont like, they look too much like hairdriers.

Cheers!

I'll be honest, poom; I liked your Khârn better than Forge World's. biggrin.png But that crest makes their model much better.

I like the old one alot too. But I think the conversion and paintjob did not age well, today I would do so many things different. With the FW modell I can start over, what is realy tempting right now smile.png Here is btw a comparison shot, of my old Khârn, which is based on this artwork and posed simmilar to the original Jes Goodwin sculpt next to the new FW modell:

Been also working on Jeddek, like Kargos he is part of Kharns command squad, and bearer of the 8th company banner:

http://i420.photobucket.com/albums/pp282/PoomW/Jeddek03.jpg~original

As he is terra born and one of the oldest World Eaters I gave him this nice ornamented mk2 armor. In contrast to this relic from the unification wars he got a spiky backpack and shoulderguard.

With the banner I am still unsecure, all is just blue-tacked at the moment. The idea was, as the World Eaters are influeced a lot from roman gladiators, that a roman styled banner would be fitting. What do you think?

What did you use for the plastic parts I want to steal this idea

  • 2 weeks later...

Cheers guys!

@Jaspcat

The plastic parts are all scratchbuild out of plastic card tubes and sheets.

Didn't do much for the hobby lately, as I am into Diablo 3 again confused.gif

But some things progressed anyway:

Started painting Khârn

Sicaran. When this model first came out I was not very happy about the design. It kinda looks like if its is driving backwards. But after seeing it more and more it kinda grow on me. Now I like it enogh that I got me one smile.png

Base is now more or less finished. Thinking about adding some cracking paint to the Rhino to show the weight coming down to it.. not sure yet.

Also managed to finnaly get a game again, here are some impressions:

Finished this gentleman:

"I have slain many enemies, and won many battles and I tell you there is no great secret to success in war,

no subtle trick of strategy that has saved my foes - I seek out the enemy, attack as soon as I am able and with all the force at my command,

rend his soldiers and smash his fortresses, leave only corpses behind me and then move on - thus my Primarch has taught me,

and I find this wisdom has proved worthy on a hundred battlefields."

Simply excellent work, throughout the entire thread/army. Tough to pick a fave, it really is with so much win on show but I am going for the Spartan.

Kharne looks purest evil btw devil.gif I didn't really like him when he first came out but you have changed my mind.

More please thumbsup.gif

This is one of those really crazy threads that only comes around once and a while. Everyone loses their cool and just drowns themselves in pictures of awesome models. I tip my hat to you sir, as this army is truly a work of art!
