Let there be bloody war...The next Khorne Herald

The next of my Khorne Heralds on foot. Like the previous I wanted to armor him up a bit more than my regular blood letters.

Also thought about changing up the weapons to make him stand out a bit more. This one I gave an axe. A sort of brutal looking axe. Something I have had for awhile. Its from Reaper Miniatures.


The basing is done up like the rest of my minis in this army, blood pools with heads and sometimes demonic hands reaching up from the depths of hell.

Another view of the head in the blood pool and the oposite side of the axe.

The other reason to paint your weapons like this is to play up the whole Hellstorm Blade demonic weapon bit.

So there you have it the second herald on foot.

New Khorne Demonic Herald...Finished Pics

My Khorne Demon army is in need of reinforcements and a bit of restructuring to be playable in 8th edition. Definitely need more infantry, and I also decided to build some heralds on foot.


If you are going to give them Armor of Khorne, then give them armor. Basically with this guy I decided to armor him up a bit more than my regular bloodletters.

I also chose to make him a bit more distinguishable by giving him the bold orangish sword.

So there you have the first of a couple of new heralds.

More Knights and a Centaur WIP

Well, to sort of continue that khorne knight theme, next up is the banner man WIP.

I've chosen to use a lance and combine that with the bloodletter banner. The backside of the banner shows the transition piece.

Something I forgot to mention in the previous post and in my response in the comments was that I also build a support for the cape to help get the flowing aspect. In the next pic you can see what I typically do for a support, just a basic wedge of putty applied to the model and then I stretch it a bit.

Now for the centaur. I had an older model that I did more my marauders, a couple of years ago, but I got rid of it because ite was based on the old chaos knight horse and really would not fit with the new knights.

This a project I've been thinking about for quite a while and needed to take a bit of action on. Here I'm just building the basic torso for the big chaos knight horse. I plan to just make the basic shape and then cast the blanks to add details. The torso itself will be sort of like a spacemarine. I probably be 3 or 4 of these and use the best ones for the casts, and also do that because the horses are bit different too.

And when I say space marine like, what I mean by that is that I will have a socket for a head and then flat areas to pin the arms to at the shoulders. The bottom of the torso will have a piece that goes down into the horse. And the shoulder guards will be added afterwards.

So there is the start to another model for my mutant marauder horde.

A new Chaos Knight

This is one of my new Khorne knights. There are some many details on these models. So, a lot of my detailing is going to lie in the paint work when I do that.

The one thing I think is missing with the GW knights is that they do not have capes, so I plan to add capes to a lot of mine. When doing capes, I like to use brown stuff, as BS is easier to get smooth, cures much stiffer than GS, and takes better to getting nice sharp edges. I wanted this cape to have a nice central area for me to do some hand painted details on.

The conversion work was pretty simple on this model. A sword from the bloodletters to emphazize the Khorne marking. I'm quite happy with the helmets, you are going to see a lot of that on my stuff to come. I'm a fan of Adrian Smith's art work and was looking for an easy way to mimic some of that, and I think I hit on it.

I have all of these left over skull pieces from the flagellants kits so, its high time I start using them.

Work in progress knight

Once and awhile I like to pick up a model that I don't feel I have to convert and just paint. Its a rare occasion for me. I like changing things. I've had this knight for a few years now.

Its a Werner Klonke sculpt for Reaper Miniatures. He is one of my favorite sculptors.


The reds are my normal blend of 6-7 different reds, the whites are blends of Reaper Master Series Bone triad over Vallejo English Uniform some nice soft, warm bone colors, absolutely love that triad. If you are having trouble painting bone, give their bone triads a try, they have a warm triad and a cool gray tone like triad.


The metals are also a Reaper Master Series Triad. I must admit I attempted to use them on a few of my Romans, and I quickly gave up on using them, I was not getting what I wanted out of them quick enough to paint that army in a short amount of time. But they work well when you have time to dwell on a single model. I need a bit more time with them before using them in army painting. In the mean time I've stuck with my my Vallejo metals on the army stuff.

Still have a ways to go, I'll finish sometime, in between some project.

You'll note that the model is stuck on top of a lid. I do quite a few help seminars and tutorials locally, and I always get these odd looks when I pull out GW paint pots with a bit of poster putty on them, and then commence to gathering based miniatures and sticking them on the pots and putty, to hold and paint. My whole point in doing this is that I simply despise GW's paint pot, and this, I think is all its good for.

Orc Shaman Conversion #1 Finished

Quite awhile back I had shown some work in progress pics of this orc shaman. This is part of the commissioned orc army to go along with Orc Boyz Unit #1. The model is simply based off of a normal orc boy model.

I had an older bare foot orc model that I mutilated awhile ago, so the feet I thought were suitable for this model. I also wanted to give him a hood and several pouches.

The troll skull is from skull pass. Added a cauldron.

I think the added details on the cloak helped out.

Wasn't sure if I could pull off the hands or not, the one holding the skull came out okay, but in hindsight I should have spread the fingers apart. Will have to do that next time.

A new Wizard of Chaos

Once and awhile you find a miniature, that you just do not want to change, because it screams something. Well this Tre Manor Red Box Games' mini is one of those.

I just picked this up. It is a tad bit on the small side being only 25 mm, but I think putting it up on a rock of apoxie sculp will with that. This will definitely be one of my chaos sorcerers for my Warriors of Chaos army.
