WIP: Khârn the Bloody - Forgeworld Horus Heresy

[IronKobra]

Hi All

 

I have been working on Khârn behind the scenes recently and I have come to a point here I am ready to Weather him up. I have left out the long winder WIP and just painted him up for fun but I have never weathered armour before, never mind WHITE armour, so any help / tips would be appreciated! Pics below (just quick phone snaps)

Really liking the work on it. I love how yu have it as work in progress when it is already past what I could do!

 

Glad you have the helmet rather than the bare head and all.

Sponge/ paint on Skavenblight Dinge or Eshin Grey 'battle damage', then line with white on lower parts, and black along top. The white simulates the light reflecting up and the black the shadow.

BTW, glazing with some purples, reds and yellows would really up your gold , if you don't mind me saying.

Looking good, particularly the plasma gun.

 

I'm in two minds personally whether to paint mine in red, so's I can use him in 40k.

Cheers DarkMark! I have used similar glazes with golds in the past but it creates a very warm tone and I prefer the cold look of a beaten up bronze on this model so the gold on the Ultramarine (the marine he is wading though has been painted as a smurf but he isn't in any of these pics) seems a bit more rich

OK, I conquered by fear and gave my first attempt at battle damage & weathering a bash! Hopefully I haven't screwed up a decent paint job doing so. Nearly there now. Last thing to go is a little Blood for the Blood God!

Pics are not so hot, just snapped quickly using my tablet but you get the idea

Sweet mini.

 

Aren't the arms the wrong way around? His bare axe arm should be his left?

Cheers man.

 

Looking at this model and his 40K counterpart, lots of bits of his armour are different. Over 10,000 years entirely possible he has shedded old bits of armour in favor of scraps from various battlefields to replace, given his 40k mini doesn't look like it is garbed in warp twisted power armour. Why really FW modelled him differently to the classic version I have no idea :p but I know the Nightlords in the ADB trilogy do the same thing since they have no forges of their own.

[Res Ipsa Loquitur]

Well, we know that at one point he armed himself with a Flamer, so...

[IronKobra]

Well today I finished him! He is weathered and has had a generous application of Blood for the Blood God! I will post some better pics when I get a moment in the Hall of Honour! For now, here are my quick phone snaps...
