The Brass Scorpions - Blades of Khorne Project


Recommended Posts

When Sigmar's cowards left for Azyr, we were left to defend ourselves against the Chaos scourge. The Gods blessed us with a long forgotten trove of weapons and armour with which to protect ourselves. All will feel our wrath

 

Before Darkoath we announced or even rumoured, I had an idea to convert Bloodreavers and some other BoK characters up to make Mauraders, I also got a load of Blood Warriors and some more characters that someone threw in a trade. I put the project off when rumours of the Darkoath started coming around but I'm back around to it but making them a their own army.

The paint scheme is nice and easy and looks great too:

In total I have:

Spoiler

Slaughter Priest

10 Blood Warriors

10 Blood Warriors

20 Blood Reavers

 

Mighty Lord of Khorne

Bloodsecrator

Bloodstoker

Khorgorath

3 Skullcrushers

 

Aspiring Deathbringer

 

5 Flesh Hounds

 

Mostly the mortal side of things but I prefer them to Khorne daemons to be honest. I'm aiming for the Spearhead finished before anything else 😊

Thanks both!

I started out with a black spray, then a coat of Castellax Bronze, a Vedegris mix of Nilakh oxide, Coelia Greenshdae, Sotek Green and some medium. Dry brush all over with Castellax Bronze and then Canoptek Alloy. I did go back in with the Verdegris mix to pick some bits back out that got reduced with the drybrushing but it took no time at all which is very nice! 😁

I'm very happy with the first 4 models, now I just need to complete a full army! Before I get ahead of myself I've got another 6 Blood warriors to finish to get this unit finished. My goal is to complete the Spearhead as the first milestone and then go from there 😊

Much faster than 3 months between painted models but 6 more Blood Warriors are done which gives me the first full unit of the army 😊

I'm very happy with how fast these have come together! Next up on my list are 10 Blood Reavers which have Garrek's Reavers mixed in to give them some cool varients

Thank you Starfyre!

I got the Blood Reavers/ Garrek's Reavers painted up pretty quickly at the end of last week and they were a blast to do. As my main weakness is painting skin currently, I figured these guys were a good test to improve how I paint skin just like the Darkoath were. They came out pretty great I think!
