The Wrath - Khorne Daemonkin Project: Blood Letters Started

[Tankus Wokus]

First WIP Log I have attempted. This army will start off small and will be used as one half of a Battle Brothers army. I am starting with a fistyclaws juggerlord, a unit of 8 bezerkers with a rhino, a unit of 8 bloodletters, a unit of 5 possessed and a soulgrinder. There is also a Daemon Prince and what is now a 'mini' Bloodthirster of Unfettered Fury (old metal model) these are for the Blood Tithe table. Apologies for the blurry images I will take better ones as we go along.

This is all I have assembled so far, more pics to follow as soon as assembled (less blurry i promise)

 

Comments welcome as always

[Brother Aiwass]

Love your zerkers, specially the fact that you've changed the leather boots for actual power armoured shinguards!

[malika666]

Finally somebody who's using the AoS Khornate kits in a proper way to make Berserkers! Great job on removing those leather boots!

[Tankus Wokus]

Thanks guys, it took ages to clip those legs off. I replaced the boots with Raptor legs

[Khornestar]

Very cool work. Love those berzerkers.

[Tankus Wokus]

Possessed assembled. I've used the Gal Vorbak as I love these models. Some of them have retained their former legion livery but the Blood Thirster Arbra'Gax they now serve finds this amusing and a symbol of his power that even the fanatical sons of Lorgar can be bent to his will.

My next task is to get some paint on these models, starting with the Chaos Lord.

Ok WIP shots of the Lord so far.

Thanks for looking guys, comments always welcome

[Midnightmare]

I like where this is going; of the KDK colour schemes the Wrath is my favourite, looking forward to seeing it on your Berzerkers :tu:

[KrautScientist]

First of all, welcome to the wonderful world of bloodshed in the name of Khorne! :)

 

Excellent work on those Bloodwarrior-based 'zerkers, and special kudos for going through the trouble of replacing the feet! This also seems to have made the models rather huge, which is definitely a plus in my book. One small nitpick, though: While most of the models (and poses) came out looking absolutely awesome, one or two of the guys seem strangely pidgeon-toed (probably due to the surgery that replaced their feet). The models I am referring to are the single guy in the last picture and the out-of-focus one on the left in the second-to-last picture. With a squad as amazing and characterful as this, I think you may want to tweak those two, as they are noticeably weaker than the rest.

 

But all in all, that's some fantastic work, and I'll be watching this project with interest!

[Tankus Wokus]

Thanks for the comments guys,

 

@KrautScientist - They stand around head and shoulders taller than a normal space marine not including the base, I wanted them to look imposing so they are about the right size. As far as the feet on those two you pointed out go, I think it's just the way they are tacked together rest assured when they are finished I will make sure they don't look like that.

[Tankus Wokus]

Got the Lord finished today and I've started a thread from completed models in the Hall of Honour. Managed to get the Bezerker's Rhino assembled today and work has started on the Bezerker Champion.

[Tankus Wokus]

Finished the bases for half of the Bezerker squad

[Biohazard]

Why haven't I seen these before? Excellent work on converting the Blood Warriors. They look great. I'm not 100% sold on the bases but the models themselves are awesome

[Tankus Wokus]

Finished the Champion for my Berzerker squad.

Let me know what you think.

 

Thanks

[ElDuderino]

That's awesome, I love the colors,didn't think that white would work so well on a berzerker.

 

Great conversions as well, looks very imposing. Are these guys much taller than normal marines? Any chance of a side by side pic?

[Tankus Wokus]

@ ElDuderino - Thanks for you comment, they stand about head and shoulders taller than a standard marine. I'll get a side by side picture up this evening when I get home from work.

[Kythnos]

I think the Champion looks great - exactly what I'm hoping new Berzerker kits will look like. And the painting looks ace too! :)

[Midnightmare]

One of the best Berzerkers I have ever seen. I would actually like to see him beside a normal marine, but also your Gal Vorbak.

 

How did you achieve the red? It is so deep

[Tankus Wokus]

It's a GW red recipe used for the Captain Lorenzo tutorial in White Dwarf back when Space Hulk came out. Painting using layering techniques with thinned out paints. The current colours I use are:

 

Base 50/50 mix Doombull Brown & Chaos Black

Layer 50/50 mix Doombull Brown & Evil Sunz Scarlett

Layer 25/75 mix Doombull Brown & Evil Sunz Scarlett (usually three thin layers to get good coverage)

Layer Evil Sunz Scarlett (again about three thin layers)

Highlight Troll Slayer Orange

Edge Highlight 50/50 mix Troll Slayer Orange & Light Tau Ochre

Wash Carroburg Crimson

Re-Apply Edge Highlight.

 

Hope that helps

[KrautScientist]

While I prefer my Khornate Astartes in red and brass, I have to admit that it's a brilliantl paintjob! And the conversion really clicks, now that everything has been painted to a very high standard like that. Excellent work! :)

[Tankus Wokus]

Here are the side by side comparison shots some of you were asking for:

 

Gal Vorback, Bezerker, Regular Marine

Bezerker with Regular Marine elevated so the feet are at the same level

@KrautScientist - Thanks for the kind words buddy!

[abadizzle]

Soooo good! A bit on the tall-side... But seriously- GREAT kitbash and great paints!

[Thousand Eyes]

Lovely work there. Great to see the AoS kits being put to good use.

[ElDuderino]

Cool! Great size too, only thing holding me back from making some of my own is that they'd make my other minis look like halflings:)

[Andvarr A]

This...is how proper sigmarines are done...Well done that man!
