Army showcase: Khorne's Eternal Hunt



Hey everyone, this is KrautScientist speaking. Old School Terminator contacted me to ask whether I would be willing to contribute some content for Dark Future Gaming, and of course I said yes! How could I not: DFG has been one of my favourite hobby sites ever since I got back into tabletop wargaming in late 2010 after a longer hiatus. So this is really quite an honour for me, and I hope that I’ll prove myself worthy. Thanks for having me, guys!


Right, with that out of the way, let me introduce myself: I am a 31 year old German who has been addicted to cutting apart little plastic men since the mid-nineties. My wargaming system of choice is Warhammer 40k, also I am also quite interested in Inquisitor (played at the 28mm scale) or other specialist games like Necromunda. I am not a competitive player by any stretch of the imagination, preferring friendly, laidback games with a decidedly narrative bent. My favourite parts of the hobby are converting and kitbashing stuff and inventing background for my armies, though. I am also not actually a scientist.

Speaking of armies, what I would like to talk about today are my World Eaters. You see, I’ve always been drawn to the Ruinous Powers, especially to Khorne, so after getting back into the hobby, it quickly became clear to me that I didn’t have any choice but to build and paint an army of World Eaters. That was the birth of Khorne’s Eternal Hunt. Here’s a sneak peek:



What you see above are all the World Eaters I have managed to get painted up until now. There’s quite a bit more (unpainted) stuff where this came from, but for today, let’s focus on the finished part of my army. I’ll walk you through a couple of pictures and tell you what I did and why. Here goes:

Old School's Entries for the Jump Master's Challenge!


Old School here with some pics of my entries for the Jump Master's Challenge painting contest at Dropzone Games' Grand Opening Celebration. While I am a bit nervous about having legends like Dave Taylor eye my work, I relish the chance to get some of my old favorites on display.

Khorne Thunderwolf Cav Counts As Conversion: Another Khorne Khav joins the 14th!

Old School here with another update to the Painting Challenge and another of my Khorne Counts As Thunderwolf Cavalry or "The Khorne Khav" as I call them. This Wolf Lord (or Skull Lord) was made with a Forge World Berzerker conversion kit, a devestator powerfist, a plastic jugger (obviously) and some various parts from other kits. This is the fourth Khorne Lord I have made so far for the 14th Black Crusade and I have plenty of photos (though, not the best, damn 4MP), so lets take a look.

Khorne Thunderwolf Conversion: Counts as Canis: Khanis Bloodborn, painted and ready!

Old School here to welcome in Halloween with my Khorne Version of Canis Wolfborn - Khanis Bloodborn! I know it sounds cheesy, but the model speaks for itself! Here is the newest member to my growing 14th Black Crusade - yet another Forge World Khorne Berzerker on Juggernaut!

The arms came from the Chaos Lord plastic kit and they were painted black as a small homage the Blood Lords must pay the Black Legion when marching under the banners of the latest Black Crusade, The bodey is from the FW Berzerker conversion set and the head is the bare FW Lord Zhofur head.

As usual, please forgive the camera for not liking red.

The face really is one of my favorite things about this model as it adds so much life to it, along with the over reaching pose of the model reaching forward every available inch to try to dig those claws into somebody. Coupled with the pose of the Jugger, I think this Khorne Khav model best captures the raging fury of the World Eaters better than the other two I have painted.

As usual, I went for the gritty look with lots of blood spatter and green washed into the brass on the Jugger. I also liked the green lighting effect from the last one so have made it a fixture for all my upcoming juggernaught projects.

This dude has some serious trophies to take home for the Blood God, including a Salamander head taken from the Space Marine Commander set (you know its gonna happen CVinton!), a sanguinary Guard head, and plenty of skulls ... oh and almost forgot the dirty, blooded head of a Dark Eldar (just for you, SeerK).
.
Overall, I just had a lot of fun with this model. Now that I can see it in super-zoom-close-up mode, I have spotted a ton of little mistakes. I am my harshest critic (besides CVinton and Capt. Obvious of course). I would love to here what you all think of it! Happy Halloween and if you live near me don't be suprised if I stop by for "Trick or Beer"!

Khorne Thunderwolf Cavalry: Thunder Hammer Lord Complete!

Old School here and the marathon of hobby continues! Here is the completed (99% anyway) Forge World Khorne Lord On Juggernaut with Thunderhammer! I am very happy to have this model painted as it marks another step in the 14th Black Crusade.

I decided to stick with the iron and brass colors on the juggernaut as they provide a nice contrast to the World Eater's armor. I love the Forge World kits, the head is actually from the FW WE terminator kit. I would never attempt this project with plain GW zerks.





As I look at these photos I see the 1% not completed like where i used a GS joint to fasten the jugger to the base and a couple spots that need light effects on the hammer.



CVinton, I hope you enjoy the Salamander head on the back ... get used to it, buddy!



These plastic juggers are a dream to work with and if you have any excuse to field them in your army, pick them up. Keep the comments rolling, I will be slaving away in the workshop for the rest of the night!
