    Hi brothers, I've been finishing off the AoS starter set, finally! Here's the two remaining figs: the Blood Stoker and the Lord of Khorne. I've also been experimenting with my photography, having bought the Foldio 2 light box and a photo app (Camera+) for my iPhone. Still fiddling around with the settings, these pics are a bit dark for my tastes. So if anyone has some tips to make great mini pics, I'd love to hear! Anyway, on to the pics: EDIT NEW PICS BELOW Let the meat grinder grind on..

    Thanks brother! Your post is spot on. 2nd edition 40k was also my first encounter with the warhammer universe. I still flick through the old WDs and painting guides from back then. I loved the vivid style back then, and still do. Never understood why the internet sometimes calls it 'the infamous red period' of GW.
  3. BasetheRuin
    So true!

    Oh and I forgot to mention.. work on the mighty lord of Khorne has also started: I'm doing him the same way as the Blood Warriors. First a coat of Brassy Brass, then an all over wash of Agrax. After that, a dry brush of Auric armor gold. Here I am filling in the red with Khorne red, right after the gold dry brush. Painting in the remaining base colours: Screamer Pink (claw), PP's Battlefield Brown (Cape), Zandri Dust (Bone) and Celestra grey (belly). And finally some washes: nun oil for the red armor and the claw, some reikland flesh on the gold, and agrax on the bone parts. I started work on the dog some time ago: a quick airbrush of Tamiya's Desert Sand on its belly. Let the meat grinder grind on..

    Thanks all! Well, after a marathon session of painting last night I also finished the Blood Warriors. I really wanted to get them done before we leave on holiday with the kids saturday. So took a couple of quick snapshots with my Iphone this morning. Hope you like them. More hobby updates after the holidays! PS. Some of the pics are a little blurry, sorry for that. i'll take some better ones when I feel less rushed (I need to get packing for the holidays :)) Let the meat grinder grind on..

    Go for it brother! If you're using the Warhammer-tv method, you'll end up with very convincing models in a reasonably short time. I know I've been using a couple of speed painting methods to get mine done.

    Love the Lorgar conversion. That's what I call inspiration. Keep it up!! Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

    Hehe no problem mate, have one of mine!
  9. BasetheRuin
    Thank you Praecautus! Glad to be done with the Reavers to be honest. Lovely models, but lots.
  10. BasetheRuin
    Glad you like it brother. Khorgos Kul and the Blood stoker are the only ones remaining from the set.. gotta force myself to keep painting and not deviate from the straight path Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

    Well, the skin is not *just* shades brother. One or two highlights are also on there. But these are very easy and fast because the wash does so much work for you Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

    Thanks mate! The blood reavers are done, just had not taken pics of them yet... but here you go Thinking of revisiting some of them eventually (some are a bit shiny thanks to the satin varnish), but I consider them done anyway.\ Let the meat grinder grind on..

    Right now I'm working on the Blood Warriors. Painting them bronze (Vallejo Brassy Brass) all over. Then an all over wash with Agrax, followed by a - gasp -dry bush of Auric Armor gold. Got to speed up the process you know! Then, filling up the red areas with Khorne red. Let the meat grinder grind on..

    Hi guys, Since Photobucket royally screwed everybody over including my little plog, I'm transferring all my pics to Imgur. That's the plan in any case. But somehow Photobucket won't let me download my own pics. So I'm going to have to dig them out of my external hard disk which is lying somewhere around the house. Anyway, in the mean time here are some new pics of my recently finished Khorgorath, courtesy of Imgur! The monster's view from the perspective of it's latest victim. Let the meat grinder grind on..
  15. BasetheRuin
    Thanks guys! The khorgorath is about to hit the painting table, just need to get these pesky blood warriors finished. They are lovely to paint though, GW really did a great design job on these models.
  16. BasetheRuin
    Thanks Praecautus! Stormcast look nicest when they are painted a little over the top, just like in the AoS art. Or that is at least the way I like them
  17. BasetheRuin
    Thanks a lot Korpur [emoji1303] The red-green is a throwback to one of the first Eavy metal colour schemes for World Eaters. I loved it back then, and still do! Verzonden vanaf mijn iPhone met Tapatalk

    And because I couldn't resist, I also painted up the Bloodsecrator. As you might notice, I'm basing the Khorne in the same way as I based the Stormcast, to make it look like they are fighting on the same battlefield. I'll take some proper pics of him later. Let the meat grinder grind on..

    Aha! It's time do resurrect this thread. I've been picking up the brush again lately, with the aim of finishing the whole of the AoS starter set this summer. Yes, the whole set! My aim is to get some of my friends and possibly my little brother (well, he's 34) to play the game. And as I like both factions, It'd be a nice base for collecting both armies in the long run. I got inspired by a blog post by Mengel miniatures on painting skin with washes on white primer. It's the perfect way to get through all these Khorne guys with (some) speed. Well, enough talking, here is some (crappy) in progress pics I took with my iPhone. This guy only has a coat of white primer and 2 coats of Reikland fleshshade on him (and Seraphim Sepia for the banding, Agrax for the fur). Looks quite good already! NO amount of effort is required for this And another one, this time with one coat of Reikland: Mass production! Let the meat grinder grind on..

    Stormcast eternals by BasetheRuin
    Thanks mate I've tried to go for a blue that looks more like steel armor, if that makes any sense.

    Time for a small update. I've started on the Khorne part of the starter box, wanting to try and finish the entire box. Which would be a first for me. Most of the starter boxes I've bought over the years have been half finished, neglected, or traded away, be it fantasy or 40k. But no longer! (I hope ) The quality of the AoS starter is that good. First up, the Khorgorath, which I converted a little because the original face.. well guess I like the weirdness of it, but it's also a bit messy and hard to make out. I've put chains on him as a little nod to the old Chaos 40k dreadnought background, being chained to the ship's hull in between battles. And a head swap on the lord because I like the more classic Chaos Warrior look on him. Let the meat grinder grind on..

    Wow, and here I was thinking the battleforces sold out quickly!
  23. BasetheRuin
    I always felt 'Sigmarines' is deliberately condescending towards GW/Age of Sigmar-players.
  24. BasetheRuin
    Thanks mate It's just a slight variation on the 'official' colour scheme, but I like to think it makes a difference.
  25. BasetheRuin
    Nice work! I agree the black/purple/gold works very well together. You've made an imposing looking bunch brother
