WIP Khorne Lord of Skulls, Chaotic Overlords Demonic Prince & Obliterators

These things are slowly but surely transforming into an army. Much more Milliput, skulls, spiky chaos bitz, rivets, facial features and Lego shoulder sockets have been added into the Khorne Lord of Skulls. Started working on its arms and weapons. Gonna make a huge cleaver out of a disposable plastic knife, bits of plastic sprue and some putty. There's also sort of a grill (made from a length of a comb) in it's mouth to filter all the skulls from the blood the thing consumes for nourishment. Not sure if I should sculpt some kind of a tongue for it, and/or add lots of spikes to the big wheels. That would be ridiculous and appropriate. The thing will have a scorpion tail for sure.









The Demon Prince has gotten more paint on, as well as a bunch of transfers (Skitarii, Blood Angels, Thousand Sons, Word Bearers and Necromunda Enforcer ones) and fine liner sharpie work. Now I'll wait for a few hours for the sharpie inks to dry a bit, then spray varnish the whole thing again and do the final touch ups and basing work. Not sure if I should just keep the spiky ends on the wings black. 







Meanwhile, the Obliterators are also getting basic colours on. I'm running dangerously low on the Blood for the Blood God paint...

As everything else with this project, I'm just loving how this unit turned out! Can't wait to get gaming...

WIP a bunch of Chaotic Overlords

Today I've been working on a few different units for the big guys. First of all the Centauroid Bikers are now done. Just have to set up some lights for taking (hopefully) a bit better pics than just with the camera flash. Anyways here's a few shots of their final painting stages. Same good routines as with the rest of the guys. I also started painting another Demon Prince type character, who'll become the warlord for this army. Gonna paint him up much like the other DP I finished earlier, but might add some yellow markings on (maybe try Blood Angels "tear"drops or Thousand Sons sigil transfers). 





I finally based the three Obliterators, and glued a few more bits in. Only some minor sculpting to do on them, generally just filling gaps and merging and molding things together. The big pile of old toy parts a.k.a. the Khorne Lord of Skulls is also taking shape nicely. Just glued in many more bits and pieces. Now in addition to the big yellow Dublo car and the green tractor there's champagne & juice bottle caps, pump from a soap dispenser, electric wire, Lego Technics, Pegasus Hobbies gothic city pieces, buttons, C-cassette and clothes hanger offcuts, card, GW tank hatches, shields and Chaos Warrior horn parts. At least. Did some simple sculpting (filling gaps and sketching shapes) with a mix of Milliput & Green Stuff. Just to save a bit of GS which is more expensive, and I'm running out of it. Still not sure how to do hands for this guy. Rules say this fellow carries a mighty cleaver and a big gun in addition to the one that's jutting out of it's (soon-to-be-sculpted) mouth.

WIP Chaotic Overlords Centaur Bikers & Khorne Lord of Skulls

Basic painting routines on the Centauroid Bikers. I'll try to get some sharpie marker work done on them today, so the inks can dry overnight and I can finish painting them tomorrow without too much worry on smudging the inks. Not sure if I should try to incorporate some turquoise tones (with Aethermatic Blue) into them, like with the rest of the big dudes? Maybe do some details on the meltaguns with that?




Bashing up some general shapes on the soon-to-be Khorne Lord of Skulls. The little green tractor fitted in perfectly on that yellow Dublo car. After a tiniest bit of cutting an overhang from the car clicked right in through the rear window of the tractor. Perfect size and everything. A match made in heaven warp.

The front end will become a huge mouth with a cannon in the middle. Haven't still figured out how to do the fenders though. Just tiny ones (1cm wide or so) made from card, glued on top of those existing ones? Or much bigger, spiked and crooked ones that continue and wave through the entire sides of the thing? I just wish I got the muscular arms of some He-Man toy to glue into this monstrosity. Not interested in spending much time nor money to get any, so might have to get sculpting. Gonna be great anyways!

Chaotic Overlords Helbrute finished

Another Helbrute ready to rampage! I just love painting the skins on these guys. Lots of thin highlight layers, glazes and recess washes. I even spattered some tiny driplets on this one, to create kinds of liver spots and pimples.
