Horus Heresy – World Eaters Paintblog by Andre77

Im totally behind the schedule. By march we should have finished the 2nd block, but i just finished this half of the block.

10 Rampager and 1 Apothecary with jumppacks:

I will try to get some ground, because my mates have already started the 3rd block.

So we meet last sunday for our first block celebration and gaming. First some army on parade and then scenario 1 from the rulebook:

Traitors (Thousand Sons and World Eaters) vs. Loyalists (Imperial Fists and Iron Hands)

Rhino done. Took longer than thought, but my buddies are not doing better progress. This sunday will see out first game with 1000 pts. from first and second block:

Will airbrush some white this evening and tomorrow will see some new work on the 2nd block. And i have a titan in the background.

Will add a rhino on top of this block.

2nd Block will include 1 Apothecary, 10 more Tacticals and 10 Rampager with jumppacks. So more to come.

Well finished Kharn some days ago. It is my 2nd Kharn. And I am sure it will not be my last one. Kharn can’t die (not forever):

Well he is not totally finished. Misses his victim on the base, which will painted from a buddy.

And the out of the sky it was done.

Did the blood, the flash muzzle, added highlights to the boltguns.

For the base i used out of the pot GW martian ironeart on a black underground. When dried and brocken up. I washed the bases with a red wash/shade. Then i used a dark red ochre pigment on the surface and a bit was applied to the feets of the power armour. At last i painted the edge of the base black too.

And done. Well not in total. Next comes Kharn as a small reward. Before we go to the next 10 marine.

After the battering i started working on the details.

Shoulderpads trims in gold. Washed with 1/2 softone, 1/2 strong tone + thinner. Then the golden edges and rivets lightly overworked.

The on the left side of the shouldpads i did the red maw and on the backsides i painted the grenades. I also did the metal parts of the hand weapons and applied a thinned oily black ink on them.

Then i did some decals. I later noticed i need white decals, but the FW World Eaters doesn’t deliver them, and the other ones not so many in quantity. And i didn’t wanted to invest so much in decals. So i searched in my decal box and some ones with storm symbols. I used a decal medium/softener to apply them on the rounded surfaces. Dried (needs half a day) i applied a matt varnish on the decals to fixate them and take the gloss from them:

Then i did the sergeants face. Used a bronzed flesh + kislev flesh mix. Lighted this up with white and applied a sepia wash on this. The teeths are metal, but that is hard to be seen. Eyes and cables to the head and scars for further details. Will apply later a thinned black ink on the metal parts of the head avoiding the flesh 😉

So i wanted the white armours to look lightly battered. So my thought was, to first apply some boltgun metal with a sponge and a worn out brush. I lightly overdid on some parts . But i used this for another idea. Think about a apprentice getting some crap white colour to overwork the battered armours. Just giving one coat. For this i used well thinned white. In the end you can see the result just, when you get a closer look on the minis. That was, what i wanted. It almost is marmorized. More to come
