Sagentus's Khorne army - Contemptor Dread and DA

[Vairocanum]

The hellbrute is coming along nicely. When sculpting on shoulder pads I like to attach them to an arm using GS or a little dab of super glue and letting it cure. That way you can just hold onto the arm without touching the pad. The shoulder pad will need less cleaning and after curing you can take it off the arm easily as well.

[Sagentus]

Thanks for the tip Vair, think ill defo use spare arms as so I'm not touching the shoulder pad whilst working on it. Certainly kept having troubles when working on this one and kept messing it up lol, so if the arms help get the job done quicker I'm all up for that!

 

one question, how long to you leave gs to cure before you work on it?

Been a while since I updated this. Really struggling for hobby time atm with work being so manic =/ But i did manage to make a bit of headway on the brute. Im not totaly sure which loadout im going for yet but hear is a version of him with the arms tacked on

Quit happy with how the LC looks on him atm. I did contemplate going dual PF but it makes him look to wide and i will need to work on the power scourge to make them look more dynamic with the current pose. He will be getting some khornate symbols and trophies once i have the rest done so dw khorne fans :D

[hushrong]

Happy to see work on that helbrute progress!

 

Another idea for the shoulder pad is macro beads to make it look a little old fashion. That and maybe cheap necklace chain and skulls!

[Sagentus]

Cheers hushrong. Hopefully get more time to work on it tonight. Have you got an example of the micro beed idea? The skull necklace is a great idea, need to get some chain

[Nemac Vradon]

That's looking great Sagentus, I do think two fists would suit Khorne quite well but I get that they do make the model look really wide at the top. Plasma Cannon and Power Scourge looks awesome in my opinion :)

Cheers Nem ... I think what ill do is put a bit of GS at the back of the joing. If I use the cling film trick i will make sure the GS sticks to the PF arm and not the body. Plasma cannon and power scourge would be a nice combo, Ill do some work on the power scourge tonight to make it fit the dynamic pose. 

[Sagentus]

Managed to get some more work done on the brute got s9me spikes put on him and a tabard too now. The only mistake i did make was to glue the first part of the right arm to the shoulder, which means i cant get the plasma cannon on =@

Firstly here he is with dual pf

Now with LC and power scourge

Also ive been promising some wips of my cultists and here they finally are ( almost done)

[Nemac Vradon]

Oh, I do love a Power Scourge :D. I think it adds extra movement to the model and I like the loincloth you have added from the DP kit too. Your Cultists are also looking excellent. I like the mute, earthy tones you have chosen for them. That really gives them a feel of being the lowest of the low, the dregs in the bowels of a starship. Great work mate, I look forward to more.

@nem - The more i look at it the more i like the power scourge. Nice spot with the dp lioncloth, i had to find something as ive lost the front plate lol.

Got a bit side tracked last night, i prepared the havocs for spray and then started something new

Its still a very early wip, but after listening to 1/2 of primogenitor at work on audio book, i had to give it a go.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Oooh I do love some helbrutes. As you're going for Khorne, better do the dual power fists - you're not goign to be an effective lascannon user on the move, right? :tu:

[Sagentus]

The brute is almost ready for paint. Yeh, hes khoornate. Your right, I will make sure i can swap the arms out and paint them all up :) I like the look of the LC/PS but dual PF or PF/PS will probably be more fitting fluff/game wise 

[hushrong]

The helbrute is looking good! I love the power scourge but for some reason I really like the dual fists. Something about his pose and those arms out just shout 'welcome to the wrong neighborhood' to me.

 

Also looking forward to Fabulous Bile! Is it going to be him or a WE version?

[Sagentus]

@husrong - Cheers mate! I will make sure to put some spikes/trophies on the fists so they will look the part on the brute. haha, that is a great way to put it. 

 

As regards to Faius Bile, I think i will keep paint him in his EC colours. We all know how much he like to be one to his own, plus it will make a nice change to paint something different to red :) 

[Vairocanum]

Great paint job on those cultists! Really liking the helbrute so far, the leg repose looks really well. Can't wait to see more of the Fabius Bile!

[hushrong]

Well, I'm definitely excited to see your take on Bile. That green stuff work to the champ's body has me already has me hooked.

 

And it seems like you are going to add knuckle dusters to power fists and that sounds awesome on every level. Just an idea but it would be kind of cool to see a corpse stuck to the extra spikes and spines you will give him. Like he backhanded a guardsmen into a wall and the meatbag just got skewered on good.

[Sagentus]

Been a long time, but i finally have some work done on the Brute. I did start the Bez squad but they had more than just base coats on before the ETL started

Here is the brute with base coats and washes, next ill start layering/highlighting

I learnt a hard lesson with this model and that was never to undercoat or base coat in cold weathers, really naffed the undercoat and caused bubbles

[ElDuderino]

Looking good, really nice red. If it's any consolidation, I sure can't tell that the basecoat was messed up:)

[hushrong]

Hey hey! Helbrute is looking good! I couldn't tell anything was off with the paints till you mentioned it. I honestly can't see it much while looking at the pictures except on the fleshy bits and I have to say it adds a nice pock-marked skin look to it. So that's a plus.

 

Looking forward to seeing the Berzerkers!

[Sagentus]

Thanks guys! I think I might have been over critical of my own work. I'm hoping as i layer up the paint on the skin and armor panels itll be less noticable in pictures, but tbh the overall look of the model has come out how i wished for it to do so :) 

[Eldrick Shadowblade]

hellbrute is coming along nicely!

[The Traitor]

The hellbrute is looking great, both the subtle conversion and the paint job so far look good!

[Sagentus]

Well i managed to get a few hours of painting in an i will say hes finished until i get round to basing

[ElDuderino]

That looks great man. I really like the highlights on the red, makes the colour pop!

[rednekkboss]

Loving the pose on the Hellbrute. Nicely done!
