Overdrive Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Some of you may remember me and my foray into True-scale Khorne Berserkers found here. I lost interest in gaming and modelling for awhile, but after staring at the beginnings of my Khârn model for the better part of 3 years I finally got around to working on him. I'm getting near the painting stage but here's a little backlog on the project. What was sitting on my shelf for almost 3 years: http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk213/x2005eig/20120216_194307.jpg Progress: http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk213/x2005eig/20120218_004747.jpg http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk213/x2005eig/20120219_113203.jpg Comparison: http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk213/x2005eig/20120220_215604.jpg Current State: http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk213/x2005eig/20120221_124435.jpg Looking for some suggestions on color scheme. I'd like to do something different then the typical red. I've got a nice dirty white scheme I like, but I've never liked broze/gold trim on white. Cheers.

Grotsmasha Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Dude!!!! Totally epic!!!! I want one!!! If you've got a nice dirty white, why not add in a nice dirty blue and go Pre-heresy? Cheers, Jono Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sword brethren Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Dude!!!! Totally epic!!!! I want one!!! If you've got a nice dirty white, why not add in a nice dirty blue and go Pre-heresy? Cheers, Jono this Pre-heresy Khârn would be different enough to stand out while sticking to the world eaters scheme. its looking great so far, i am looking forward to the next update.

cathar the great Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 At first I was like <_< But then I :) Pretty cool. I'm going to blatantly steal the spiky collar thing, if that's okay. You could paint him up in the pre-heresy blue+white of the World Eaters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Ambroz Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Wow really badass! Can't wait to see him finished. If you're going pre-heresy I think that'd probably work but for the collar... not sure what color I'd paint that as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natanael Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Wow. Great job! May I suggest doing him in a pre-heresy scheme? That would be blue and white. Just google pre heresy world eaters and you're a go. - Nat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lavaman Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Very impressive model right there, huge potential. It's fantastic how you have honoured the original design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdrive Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks for the kind words. I have considered painting it pre-heresy style, but I think the feel of the model is a little too post heresy(spiky bits, skulls etc). I'm starting to think maybe white with red trim instead. Some progress: http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk213/x2005eig/Accessories.png http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk213/x2005eig/20120222_000530.jpg The bare arm is off the ork sprue. The proportion isn't bad, but the hand is a bit big. I figure its the warp, a little mutation is to be expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 You are off to a promising start. I'm interested to see how you pull off the other shoulder pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retributis Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Do it in PH colours but then slap plenty of red gore on it :blush: Painting, the World Eaters way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmimellows Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 This is very inspirational stuff. I've been heard muttering about doing a Khârn conversion of late and this is very useful indeed. Very nice putty work there aswell, i'll be watching this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popkhorne Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 while your up-sizing the model(which looks $$$ by the way) you might want to pump up gorechild a little too, I always thought it looked kind of dinky for one of Angron's axes even if it is the smaller one.

Overdrive Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 You are off to a promising start. I'm interested to see how you pull off the other shoulder pad. Khârn only has one shoulder pad, so the one I've done will be it. Pretty close to the original, just doesn't have the trim which fits with the rest of the model. Here's a comparison of my Gorechild to the original. I agree the original was too small, I'm pretty happy size wise with what I ended up with. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk213/x2005eig/20120223_202729.jpg Also a tacked on view of the pistol arm, give you an idea of the final pose. http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk213/x2005eig/20120223_203206.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olis Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 It's good work but I think Gorechild's head is slightly misaligned - the head of the chainaxe (I think) really should be parralel to the wrist. At the moment it's tipped toward the sky which throws the pose slightly. Don't get me wrong this is great besides but I feel I would be being dishonest not to point something out that I felt was off. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegnor Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Do it in PH colours but then slap plenty of red gore on it :lol: Painting, the World Eaters way! This. Pre-Heresy, but so drenched in blood, both fresh and long since dried, that it's virtually unrecognizable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biohazard Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This is looking great so far. What do you have planned for the head? Are you going to use the original or are you creating one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnorriSnorrison Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Some truly mad GS skills there, mate! Khârn is looking really good so far, I like especially the belt-like looking part of his armour. One thing though, while the ork-arm is looking suitable in size, I think the muscles itself could have been better. For example, the muscles themselves are a bit small compared to its length. Maybe using GS to build them up a bit would help, especially his biceps and forearms. Otherwise, he is looking really good so far! :tu: Snorri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Kenaz Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Youre work is great! I really love the other true scale bezerkers you have Done as well. The one thing I think needs a little work is kharns axe arm....it just seems at a strange angle, even if you were going for the back part of a full swing pose...overall though awesome work!

Overdrive Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Some paint: http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk213/x2005eig/20120226_133048-1.jpg Biohazard: I'm using the original Khârn head. Its one of my favorite helm models. Kenaz: The angle of the axe head is off a bit, but I've decided to leave it as is, it was too much work for such a minor adjustment. Cheers.

Razblood Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Looking fantastic, but I'm sure I read somewhere that Gorechild has two lines of teeth running in opposite directions (which wasn't incorporated in the original mini due to size constraints), but other than that this seriously fantastic <_< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lachdannan Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 This is an excellent and promising start. Love the idea of a gore splatted pre heresy scheme as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Coming along very nicely. And you've built a Gorechild that Angron himself would be anxious to wield in combat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
