I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it when I sat down, but I loved everything but the original helmeted head (I already used the horned head), so I built it that way. Then I said hell, let's make it a 40k model. So I tore of the jugger's head decoration and added the spiked-through Ork skull. Then I went through about 12 heads before I decided to glue the forge world zerk head on there.
I was really liking where this was going so I started giving him trophies, including the skulls up front, Captain Sicarius's helmet on the back, along with some severed human heads ...
... then I figured a half a corpse from the shield arm would be pretty awesome! It was still missing something, so I gave him a back pack from the possessed bits I have laying around and decided he would look really good on a dreadnought base..
I have settled for calling him a Khorne Lord on Juggernought (thunderwolf) armed with Blood (runic) armor, a storm shield and a Blood (frost) Axe. I know, the Khorne Wolves have probably been done before, but it was a lot of fun to build and I feel pretty good about painting it in the next week or sao, along with the last of my Legion of the Damned commission and the Tower of Skulls (whoops, did I just let the cat out of the bag?)

I LOVE it. Love it, love it, love it!
ReplyDeleteIt may be a huge chunk of metal but by the Chaos Gods it is amazing. I love the shields - the one protecting his corrupted heart and the big one that he is holding. You have managed to combine a lot of amazing bits and got a cool Khorne Khavalry Lord out of it.
Now the question is - are you going to make MORE? :)
Wow - great work - I like the pose of the miniature and the possessed back back is very apt for him.
ReplyDeletegreat work, I like all the trophies you added. The model make a great 40k character (mines at: http://bp.dnyarak.com/tag/warsmith/). Equipping him from the CSM codex, not so good, form the SW codex he rocks!
ReplyDeleteLooks good. I can't wait to see what you do with the new ones.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha ... maybe an even better choice for Adepticon than the Brainboyz!
