throwback: Bloodthirster of Khorne

-


way back in second edition of Warhammer 40,000
when i was starting to get into Chaos space marines i had a friend who gave me
several of his older miniatures.

and one of these was a classic Bloodthirster miniature.
back then i did not know there were several different head, body, or weapon options when it came to this miniature.
but one thing was for sure,
the wing piece was a pain to keep glued to the body.


i remember the one i only ever had,
it was consisted of the head#3, body #1, axe #3 and whip #3.


at the same time as i was building the Great Unclean One,
i was piecing this fellow together.
i wanted to take a pic of the packaging because i thought it was funny how such a great miniature was packaged and compare to the daemon models these days,
but i forgot to.


assembled and ready for prime and paint.
damn those wings.




quick paint job, nothing special.
black armor and drybrushed with burnished gold.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!!!
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL LORD!!

    I had two of them back in the day. Your version looks great - true old school glory!

      thanks man, i really enjoy the older models. so simplistic and solid.
      the new stuff looks great but too big and over the top in a way.

more Blightlords

was able to two more Blight Terminators completed this week and also get a game of Battlefleet Gothic in before the weekend was over. like the Champion before i gave this particular Terminator a nice dose of Nurgle's Rot paint along his hanging entrails and elsewhere. kinda messed up on the helmet eyes but then second thought they sort of look like bug eyes so i didn't really make a fuss of it. with the Nurgle's Rot i made a nice puddle of ooze on the base to make it look like he is leaking really bad.  side views of the bolter arm and plague axe arm. i only oozed up the blades of the axe and very little on the axe itself, i didn't wanna make it a total mess.  few work -in-progress pics  this fellow is my first of three Terminators with magnetized range weapon arms. this Blightlord with be armed with a Blight Launcher and then also a Combi-Plasma Gun. more to come with this project.. three dow...

sci-fi industrial terrain additions

recently i made some small walls and few larger walls out of MDF square bases i had on hand that i wasn't going to do with. i decided to glue them together and paint them to go along with my already terrain set i have for my sci-fi pulp games. several pics of works-in-progress. used 25mm MDF square bases and glued them to cut pieces of an old fabric cutting board. with the larger wall sections, i used 50mm MDF squared bases and used a disposed receipt tape spool and a glued 20oz soda bottle cap on top. with not much attached to anything else, setting up obstacles and fortifications are always gonna be something different each game. reasons why i really like how these came out. even had a go at making doorways which they came out alright i guess. another pic with a different layout.
