Rhino for the Blood God

April 30, 2017 by 0 Comments

So, I’m not the most frequent blog poster. In fact, I should probably do better with that. But in the meantime, I’ve been working on my Chaos Space Marine Rhino for my Khorne Daemonkin. I know, I know – why am I doing anything with KDK as it looks like they may not translate to 8th edition? I’m actually hoping to get the army finished before the new edition actually drops. And one of the three units left is nearing completion.

Khorne Daemonkin Rhino

Here I’ve used what has become my standard Khorne Daemonkin paint colors. Even my method is pretty formalized. The one change is that after the Nuln Oil wash, I used another thin coat of Evil Sunz Scarlet. I think it works well on the more standard vehicles vehicles, which have more flat surface area. Just leaving the scarlet coated with the wash was too dark. I also did some edge highlighting with the Wild Rider Red.

Adding to my Khorne Daemonkin army

March 31, 2017 by 0 Comments

So it’s been a couple months with no posts. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been working on stuff. But I have slowed down just a bit. I am working on a couple different projects, one of which is a Rhino for my Khorne Daemonkin. I’ve decided to stop using my Black Legion Rhino for my Daemonkin army and paint one up in Khornate colors.

As you can see, I’ve put the model together an primed it. At first glance, it probably doesn’t look like much. But look closer. See the trim? Yeah, it’s pretty awesome. I ordered a couple Chaos Rhino trim kits from The Dark Works in the fall, and decided to use one on the Khornate Rhino. This kit is the “Mk. II” set. I think the extra gold trim will really make the model pop, looking much better than the otherwise mundane red.

Making headway on multiple projects

December 7, 2016 by 0 Comments

I’ve had a bit of a layoff on blogging recently, mainly as a result of limited free time. Additionally, I’ve contracted a bit of a case of multiple project syndrome. That’s where instead of focusing on one assembly/painting project, you start two or three or more. As such, the first one up is the main project I’ve been working on – a Skull Cannon of Khorne:

Skull Cannon, shaded

So this one has been a bit of work just because it is so darned detailed. Trying to make sure I’ve painted all the details, and have them the right colors and shades has been a bit of work. But it’s coming along now. I’ve got it to the shading stage and next up is doing some highlights.

Maulerfiend finished!

November 17, 2016 by 0 Comments

I actually finished up this Khorne Daemonkin Maulerfiend a couple of days ago, but real life intruded, as it often does. Also, free time since my last post was in short supply so I used what free time I had to actually finish work on the model rather than post updates. That said, the second dino-bot is finished:

The only difference with this model is I haven’t painted the alternative magnetized pieces for the Forgefiend yet.

Quick painting update: Maulerfiend

November 1, 2016 by 0 Comments

I’m making progress on my other Maulerfiend and I now have all the base coats on. This phase of painting is the one I always feel is the longest, just because I end up having to go back and make so many corrections with paint going to places I didn’t intend.

First Maulerfiend, with base coats

With this one, I feel I was able to improve my technique a bit. That may sound strange from someone who’s been at this for so long (13 years, off and on), but my basing technique has always been a little slapdash, especially when thinning the paints.
