Cracking start there. Really looking the part for a Lord.

Well, I see the Traitors are gathering momentum...

@ Augustus: A Brass Scorpion? eek.gif Can't wait for this one...

For the Charnel Cohort I still nedd to assemble the Flesh hounds, and the Herald is also on the way from FW.

Working on my berserkers and using the WFB kit so these guys are going to be BIG. Here's a rough comparison shot:

Does the internal scaling look ok? Top half seems a little small, but not too bad (Knight torso). I was thinking about using the knight arms as they're bulkier. I'll be having one unit of 8 Berserkers who will be the core elite of the army, all swelled up from killing all those fools.

Think the scaling is ok on them, had a similar dilemma with my Berzerker and CSM conversions using the Skullrepear parts. Ultimately the larger miniatures look good with all the extra detail so are worth the slight scaling issues.

@ Adra'Melek: While I think you're off to a very cool start with the massive berzerker, you may want to check the proportions on this guy: The arms are a fair bit too short, while his middle section seems too long -- both halves are awesome on their own, but they don't seem to match each other all that well... I think you need to make his middle section quite a bit shorter for the proportions to add up.

 

EDIT: Kinda like this:

I estimate that I'm about 40% through my first vow, though I would be further along if I hadn't tried something new laugh.png

Gonna try and bang the vows out quite quickly (barring characters) so that I can take a break between each and hopefully prevent burnout.

I, BearingtheWord, vow to complete:

2 x Chaos Rhino's (@57) total of 114)


and if it's legal for the vow,  a "counts as Defiler" ( Imperial Knight conversion.... 220pts as a Defiler) If someone can get back to me on this and let me know ;)


Waiting on the second Chaos Rhino to arrive then I can post pics.....

I think you guys are holding back like last year where in the last week of recruitment you just went... berserk (for want of a better word) :D

Anyways you're definitely are building up momentum - keep it up!

@Captain Semper: Well, two frater have gone before me - I was actually the third to vow a brass scorpion! They' seem to be popular this year! smile.png

I know, daemonclaw had won the "Badge of the Artisan" in the first ETL... I'm eager to see your take on it!

As the others said, Knights are Universal - you can vow it as a Knight if you want. Then again a conversion of a Knight into a Defiler? drool.gif How daemonic is that? :devil: I have used your points above for updating the first page - let me know if there is a change of heart and I'll mend it!

No, I mean this ETL there have been three Brass Scorpions vowed already! It's insane!
