Brother Nihm Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 So Call of Chaos IV is on (link in sig). What to paint next: Despite the fact that I have about 5000 points of unpainted chaos plastics lying around, it wasn't hard deciding what to paint. I need another Rhino for my latest build (and my old predator->Rhino proxy is looking worn), so a Rhino it is. Add to that I found the awesome Terminator Lord kit that while sucks on the tabletop, screams for paint. Last but not least, a Chaos Sorceror, Night Lords style. You can see my old Rhino here and here. The idea is simply to make the new Rhino look better than the old. I'm thinking more realistic wear and tear, crispy lightning, better metals, kill-trophies and freehand (if there's time). Any other suggestions? The bits: Here's the current state of the vehicle, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inquisitor Kaede Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 that poor rhino! it looks like a grot mob tried to "fix" it for you :) I kid, I kid! GL i have been following your projects on here so i know you will do awesomely. /salute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starks333 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 if you can find a way to add detail to the rhino, not so much of it that it coats it, but enough to break up the giant plain surfaces, you may be able to play around with it mpre and get more interest out of it metals are easy...i highly recommend you and everyone else to look for vallejo air chrome, its fantastic for brightening and highlighting any metal....as for shading you can get away with using the washes ...but dont just splatter them everywhere, try and place them...darkest next to brightest...devlan mud and badab black are great....if you need further darkness use a black paint for silvers over the washes as for freehand, you could gather ideas from these, while i know youd have to adapt them, if you save the photos and zoom in you will see the vehicles not perfectly blended, but at a distance looks phenominal(props to chrono) http://coolminiornot.com/234927 http://coolminiornot.com/234926 http://coolminiornot.com/234924 id mainly focus on paint quality, avoid flat colours, highlight, shade and so on, try and get your vehicle some shape and depth :huh: Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted May 1, 2010 Author Share Posted May 1, 2010 Update time, May, update #1 Project: Chaos Rhino Need to take a new picture, will edit later. Project: Chaos Terminator Lord Every Chaos Lord needs a solid foundation to stand on: Project: Sorceror Lord I am not entirely sure that I can make the next bit work. It is inspired by the Sorceror from DOW II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Aiwass Posted May 1, 2010 Share Posted May 1, 2010 Project: Sorceror Lord Nice use of the Dark Eldar blades, if I'm not wrong. I am not entirely sure that I can make the next bit work. It is inspired by the Sorceror from DOW II. I think that model have much potential. Love the skulls in the belt and the borning sword. I keep one eye in your thread! :cuss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Nihm Posted May 6, 2010 Author Share Posted May 6, 2010 May, update #2 Project: Chaos Rhino The promised picture, I threw away the headlight bits so I'm pondering adding all of the FW extra armour to it. I have started on the interior (for fun). Project: Chaos Terminator Lord Baby steps. Come to think of it, I may use this base for my Sorceror instead.. :) Project: Sorceror Lord Speak of the Devil! I wasn't happy with his robes (too plain) so I blinged him up a little with some added trinkets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loken86 Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 loving the sorceror brother the add trinkets really makes it stand out. what colour did you paint the rhinos interior? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asrech Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Heyhey looking good there Nihm! The sorcerer is really getting fixed up good. I like that he stands out, but is still plain and clean. The opposite of BA blood-drop and ornament-spamming. Thumbs up! Nice work on the pendant :D Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maladon Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 would the chaos warrior helm with the skull mask have worked also....keeping to the fear theme.. ? also if u were going to use the terminator lords base for ur sorceror, I'd would have used the walking robed body for my sorceror.... but maybe that's just me. just say no! to the bat wings....lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Nihm Posted May 9, 2010 Author Share Posted May 9, 2010 loving the sorceror brother the add trinkets really makes it stand out.what colour did you paint the rhinos interior? That is a 50-50 Regal Blue/Necron Abyss mix, subjected to the horrors of a camera flash. ;) Heyhey looking good there Nihm! The sorcerer is really getting fixed up good. I like that he stands out, but is still plain and clean.The opposite of BA blood-drop and ornament-spamming. Thumbs up! Nice work on the pendant :) Cheers! Thank you, good call on the ornament spam! The sorcerer is looking very cool. Really liking that sword as well!:P would the chaos warrior helm with the skull mask have worked also....keeping to the fear theme.. ? this one? I am not so sure, the lower jaw doesn't appear to fit with the rest. Maybe with a re-sculpted lower jaw? also if u were going to use the terminator lords base for ur sorceror, I'd would have used the walking robed body for my sorceror.... but maybe that's just me.Good point, rules-wise it would also be better to mount him on a small base. just say no! to the bat wings....lol Agreed, it was never one of their better ideas. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashe Darke Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 That's just plain awesome. I'm assuming it's at least partially inspired by the Sorcerer from Chaos Rising/Last Stand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haunter! Posted June 4, 2010 Share Posted June 4, 2010 Nice progress on the sword so far. The horns seem a little low; they look as if they are sprouting from where the jaw would hinge. It looks a tad awkward to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks a tad awkward to me.Agreed but size-wise they had to be that big and angled thus unless I wanted to scratch build them, which is beyond my abilities.The head reminds me a bit of Mannoroth from Warcraft.

Brother Nihm Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 June, update #2 Project: Chaos Rhino Status unchanged. Project: Chaos Terminator Lord He's undercoated + I've started on the legs. I also tried to bring more depth to the trims. Project: Sorceror Lord As above except that I am considering painting his robes a deep red, to offset the blue helmet (that will otherwise look plain next to the blue robes).
