horrid's 40k thread

[horridperson]

I haven't done much 40k modelling in a while.  It's kind of a shame because I love the background and artistic vision of the 40k universe;  I just dislike painting and playing big army games.  I enjoy following GW threads and 40k threads here but up to this point haven't had one of my own.  When word on Armageddon: Shadow Wars came out I got excited.  Here was a chance to build and paint 40k while having the time to place an emphasis on characters and attempting to bring the rich atmosphere of the 41stM into the figures if I could.  I might even get enough models done to play a skirmish game .

I've had many Night Lord forces over the years these models are the first of my latest wave (As wave as a single claw can be )  which would probably make them mk VI as far as how I have attempted to portray the Eighth Legion.  Here are Brother Trajan and the first WIP for Sergeant Vuk.

Like the second fella!

Oh, they look lovely. Especially the first one.

Excellent work! I had already seen them on the SW Facebook group, so you should also post the cultists you posted there, specially the one with the Frostgrave head - it looks really scary  Keep up the good work!

Damn that's a nice paint job. I really like them both.

[Diablo Jon]

Very nice excellent work.

[Suber]

That's quite an interesting kitbashing, I like them!

Pretty badass. what parts did you use?

[Major_Gilbear]

Dear me, these are wonderful - I hope we get to see more of your work!

Very creative use of Fantasy bits too BTW, well done.

Hordak!

[Mad Doc Morris]

Pretty badass. what parts did you use?

Seconded. They look very "tru-scale" and I'm curious how you've achieved that.

Those legs look like they belong to a new Khorne model.

[Ultravanillasmurf]

They are very good.

Very striking conversions and paint jobs.

[Grumbledook]

Lovely painting and conversions, very much looking forward to seeing more!

Thanks for the kind words on the models everyone!  The figures are about 50/50 Calth and AoS Khorne parts.  The Lowers are on the painted model (Brother Trajan) are Wrathmonger legs.  The legs on Sergeant Vux are from the plastic Chaos Lord model.  Once I get the cultists painted I'll include them here too.  I'm not sure of how to paint them.  I want them to match their overlords but look grittier and dirtier so I've been stalling trying to figure out how to dummy down a very vibrant nest of colours.  I forget when I posted this earlier so here is Vuk just prior to going under the can.  I carved up his sqare base and incorporated it into the round.  With some feedback I made some adjustments to his pose.  I'm hoping the changes make his pose less rigid, more at ease.
