Another spawn of chaos joins the fray

I had some spare bits from my redemptionists so i figured it would be a nice way to tie this guy to the rest of the cult.

I figured the daemon head didn’t quite fit what i was going for so i sculpted a ring of teeth there instead.

I wanted the mutations to be a different colour than the guy they burst out of and figured that a flayed look would pop well

The base was a bit of an obstacle as i don’t have any neceomunda bases in this size so i had to make my own. I took one of the 40mm bases from the accursed cultists box and went to town with a knife, plasticard and a couple greeblies.

Chaos spawn provide a fantastic canvas for conversions as they’re very forgiving when it comes to messy sculpting and wonky proportions.

A couple of player characters for D&D

First is a half orc warlock I’m playing in an evil campaign. Made in eldritch foundry. Arrogant, cranky and a blast to play. I saw the skull pauldrons and couldn’t resist

Second is a dwarf fighter I’ll be playing in an upcoming campaign. I was looking at dwarves on myminifactory when i found this fella and figured he would work pretty well so i bought the file, swapped his axe blade for a warpick.

The design is from Trudvang, a norse mythology inspired setting with some truly spectacular art direction.

The original model is by Myr Tabletop on myminifactory

One of the reblogs of my last post has inspired me to make a step by step walkthrough of how i painted the flesh of that spawn.

To start off the paints i use here are

Macragge blue spray (citadel)

Matt white (army painter)

Hive dweller purple (army painter)

Familiar pink (army painter)

Sigvald burgundy (citadel)

Kislev flesh (citadel)

Rakarth flesh (citadel)

Pallid wych flesh (citadel)

The fang (citadel)

Any of these can be replaced depending on what you’re going for and have access to, this list is only the paints i use in this post

Since i didn’t really take any good pictures of the progress on that spawn I needed a new specimen.

For this task i chose the executioner found in the dungeons and lasers npc miniature pack.

My usual first step when painting anything is a base of Macragge blue with a zenithal highlight.

A zenithal is not necessary for this technique as it’ll get covered up anyway but it does provide some nice guidelines for lighting

Once the base coat is on I hit all the flesh with a dark burgundy. I used my airbrush because i have one and but this step can be done perfectly well with a traditional brush.

For this step I mixed Hive dweller purple and familiar pink from the speed paints range until i had something that looked about right.

Now comes the fun part, starting with a mix of Sigvald burgundy and Kislev flesh i went over the muscles keeping the direction of the light in mind and leaving the undersides of the muscles alone

I then worked my way up mixing in less burgundy for each layer until my brush only contained Kislev flesh

Next i highlighted further with Rakarth flesh and did the brightest spots with pallid wych flesh

Finally I went in and glazed a the undersides of the muscles with The fang

Painting skin like this takes quite a while but it’s generally pretty satisfying the whole way through. While I doubt I’d be mad enough to paint an entire army like this it really is a fun way to make skin really pop on smaller projects.

Thank you to @happyhyenaminis for inspiring me to make this post.

I couldn’t wait to paint this one. This is the new model for my necromunda gang leader. Converted from a blissful one, I’m really happy with how he’s turned out.

Not the best light for taking pictures but ill get some better ones once I’m done with the rest of the heretics.

His name is Lakalom the pilgrim, he is not the first to bear the name nor will he be the last. It is said that those who take on the name will begin to act more like him for every day that passes and even claiming to be the very one who crossed the ash wastes on foot in search of the gifts offered by the great pyre.

I had this idea of making some of the new heretics partially flayed as they take the redemptionist beleif in purification through pain and twisted it to perfection through pain.

I absolutely love the designs of the unmade and knew early on that I had to do something with them for this project. Had to change his pose a bit in order to even get him to fit on a 32mm base

He’s probably my favourite conversion so far. All the pieces came together without much struggle and painting him was really fun.

Here he is next to his old model. The old one was already too tall for some of the terrain we use and this glow up sure ain’t helping.
