The Brass Stampede (WE Berzerkers WIP)

[Biohazard]

I think the first Jugger looks best mate. I see what Ks is saying but once you glue down that first mounts feet it will look a lot more like it's charging forward. I'd play a little with the posing on both the champ and the Juggers heads as well to really sell the illusion of movement.

 

For the brass I usually use the agrax then if I want to give it a warmer tone, I'll add another wash of seraphim sepia. I only really use that on my characters though. Just to help them stand out slightly.

[Khornestar]

The saddle on the first jugger was also cut for the skull champion's pose, not that it makes a huge difference. The jugger heads are glued firmly but I can definitely fiddle with the skull champ's head.

 

Ran out of likes for now, but let's pretend I gave you one. :D

[Teetengee]

Yeah, I like the first one better too.

-snip-

Mark my words: the instant I finish them all, GW will release a kit for 40k skullcrushers.

 -snip-

And then you will have rules! I'd call that a win.

[HellChyld]

 

Really like your work so far on the Juggers. Looking forward to more that I can look on when I get around to my own lord on Jugger

At this point I've dealt with practically every Khornate kit GW has produced in the past 20 years so if you want to kit bash and are curious where you can find certain bits to make him look a certain way then let me know.

 

I'll will I'm sure I'll have questions on certain bits so all info will be grateful

Here are the two meltagoons from the previous champ's unit:

If I'm adding super heavies, then:

 

Chaos Knight Paladin/Errant: Daemon Knight of Khorne

Chaos Knight Paladin/Errant: Daemon Knight of Khorne

Chaos Kytan

Greater Brass Scorpion of Khorne

 

 

That's 48 juggernauts... 

 

[Khornestar]

Decided to swap to a different juggernaut entirely, to make a "champion grade" juggernaut for a little more cohesion among all the units. It is also more suitable to a charging pose:

 

(Sorry for quality)

Really works mate. Nice one, and 48 Juggernaughts!? That's all kinds of awesome. Will look really cool on the table

Thankee! Yeah, I'm really looking forward to the day they're all done.

[ElDuderino]

That last one reminds me of the old metal juggernaught rider, but without the stiff pose:)

Good eye, they use the same juggernaut head crest thing.

 

Only details left to add to this unit are the brass Khorne symbols!

 

Gotta figure painting out sooner or later...

[Khornestar]

The second unit of Skullcrushers is fully built:

You know, I'm thinking of jumping on the "name my models" bandwagon after I do a little reorganizing of this thread...

[Teetengee]

I love the face/pose on the last guy

[HellChyld]

the night lord helms on your jugger riders look great. love the kit bashing

Glad to meet with your approval!

 

Here's a question. I've been toying with the idea of adding crimson lightning bolts crackling on my dudes' armor, to represent the fact that they're all warp-touched and stuff.

 

This ended up being orange instead of red, but can you see something like this working/looking good?

[HellChyld]

maybe with the brass armor having the lightning something other then white at the center would work better but I think it'll look interesting

Ideally the lightning will only be shades of red.

[Biohazard]

The unit looks great, love the use of the tilt plates on the back of the hands.

 

I really like the idea of the Lightning as well.

[KrautScientist]

That's exactly the running juggernaut I was referring to! The model looks so much better with the new mount. Fantastic job!

 

The red lightning already looks surprisingly promising -- I would not have thought it could be done. I'd love to see a completed test model using the effect. Pretty please...? ;)

[Teetengee]

yeah, that looks pretty good. You may also want to consider a cracked lava type approach as well.

[deathspectersgt7]

The lightning effect ROCKS !!!!!

[Khornestar]

Well dang! Thanks for the feedback, everyone. Gonna keep practicing until I get the bolts down, then I'll absolutely paint a test mini.

[Khornestar]

Some more experimentation with the lightning bolts, really not pleased with the way they've turned out. Trying various methods:

And now the start of a third unit of Skullcrushers, this time something a little different. Kill, maim, burn:

Really digging the Ashen Circle weapon for this flamergoon. I only have 2 total. Wish they weren't so expensive, but oh well.

[Teetengee]

why not blue lightning bolts? on the brass it still might look far enough from night lords (and let's be honest, does it matter if they think you are night lords KDK, because the juggers make it pretty clear you follow the blood god)

I'll keep playing around, but I might forego the lightning altogether until or unless I can make it look better.
