| Bloody Goodness! |
I did this guy up because I wasn't happy with my non-chainaxe version here. I entered him in a painting contest and placed second. I was beaten out by a beautifully painted Ogre Lord from Warhammer Fantasy.
I was extremely happy with how he came out. The brass trim on the armor works really well with the white/blue pre-heresy scheme and the blood was an experiment that I will be repeating many times again.
Kharn just needs a chainaxe!
I'll follow with some works in progress over the next couple days. Namely Ork Meganobz I'm painting up for a friend and my Grey Knights. I'll compare my new to my old and see what people think about where I'm taking them.
As always comments, questions and criticism encouraged!
EDIT: Since there seems to be some controversy over at BoLS check out Dezartfox's Kharnversion here:

Lookin' sharp! Astorath isn't the first choice in my mind for Kharn conversions, but I think you managed to pull it off well; the vertebrae-shaped handle and the old-school backpack really bring him together. I got my hands on some of the Forgeworld retro-style heavy weapons, so I may try dropping one of those backpacks onto my Kharn to hush the nay-sayers on BoLS.
ReplyDeleteMy only critique is more of a suggestions; perhaps the skull-filled right shoulderpad would be better in a bone or brass color, keeping the blue trim? Right now the skulls seem kinda washed-out.
That's a good suggestion Kepora. I considered doing the shoulders differently originally but the rest of my Pre-Heresy world eaters have completely blue shoulder pads.
ReplyDeleteI will consider this the next time I have the bone colors on my pallette and post an update if I change it!
