Skrag Brown over a White undercoat. 2. strippled Ironbreaker 3.Washed in Agrax Earthshade 4. Washed in Nuln Oil (sparingly) 5. Highlighted with Stormhost Silver. Interesting approach to rust. Will have to try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgmason Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I've just signed up to the forum so I can put in an entry. It's a fantastic model and people are doing amazing things with it, both conversion and painting wise. I'm painting it pretty much straight, although with metal armour and red only on the cloth bits, and basing him on a 25mm square so he can be a hero in my WFB chaos army though. I'm not a big fan of coloured armour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfhead Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Good luck fitting him on a 25mm base, the guy is huge. He is almost twice the size of a regular marauder... I accidentally threw away the loincloth piece, so i'll have to do some more sculpting before I can start painting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't use the loincloth converting my guy and can send it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinwaller Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Gutted I didn't spot this sooner. Sadly Id never get it finished in time but I must say that's some fantastic prizes on offer. May have to get involved if you do another! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenske Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Working that skin tone... Still planning on paying proper homage to Khorne on this model with plenty of skulls...and BLOOD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a very genereus offer. I'm based in the netherlands. Although I think the new loincloth I'm sculpting will turn out Allright. I'll post some pics when it's done. another dillema: I'd like to leave of the arm with the chain to make painting easier. But when I attach it later I'm affraid the gap will be to big. Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've glued mine on but didn't find I had much filling to do - I actually had more on the back where the other arm went. Head and loin cloth have stayed separate for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, let me know if you get sick of greenstuffing and I can be on standby to stuff it in the post (based in the UK). I'm currently painting my converted version of the slaughterpriest, with a much shorter torso and legs, with the chain arm glued on (and the chain as a seperate sub-assembly) and painting it hasn't proven difficult at all. There are no real details in the arm pit area, and it's almost impossible to see on the assembled model, so unless you're planning on a load of crazy freehand tattoos, you shouldn't have any trouble layering it up with the rest of the skin.

swiftmus Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Started painting my entry, decided to try and learn something new and see what those Warhammer TV painting tutorials were like. Using the Putrid Blightking video and substituting the colours with similar ones I own, so far I've done the skin and started the armour. Really happy with how it's going so far. Lots of cool progress from everyone else, it's great to see so much creativity come from just one mono pose model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfhead Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 As I lost the loincloth I sculpted a new one. What do you guys think? In hindsifht the symbol should have been placed a little more to the left. I also added two bird skulls, which worked out pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avindskjold Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 I went to prime my Slaughterpriest, and to my dismay, the primer came out fuzzy. Here's hoping I can salvage it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elfhead Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 The exact same thing happened to me:( the primer turned out really gritty... I'm gonna strip the model but I'm really scared it will destroy the green stuff and i'll have to start sculpting all over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chikout Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Doing these guys together as they all have a lot of skin. Spent a week on the other side of the world so playing catch up to get these done. You can also see my amazing conversion work! (in awe of all the people on here who have actual talent.)

swiftmus Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Finished painting the model, just need to do some washes on the skin as the arm I just glued on is a little more pale than the rest of the skin. Just the base to go, very proud of myself and can't wait to show him off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ademo Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 Started putting some paint on the 'GorKchosen'. Just sime rough base colours and a wash to start with - hence the shininess. Still deciding if I like the glyph on the banner or whether to swap it out for something else... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhaosZand3r Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 I'm starting to feel like I have no chance at the top prize! Such impressive conversion work I vote keep the emblem on that banner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ademo Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Cheers guys! Thanks for the feedback. @KhaosZand3r I feel the same - some really awesome painters taking part but it's been a really fun project and made me try some new things and at the end of the day we all end up with a really cool model!

The best part of this contest for me is working on the same model and following the progress of everyone. It's very interesting to discover how each of us have a very specific and different take on this one model. I can't wait to see all the final results toghether!

Chikout Posted September 18, 2016 Share Posted September 18, 2016 A little more work on these guys. Pretty happy with how things are going so far. The fur, bone and straps are alll different shades of the same colour but I think it looks OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
