Helloween: Lord Of Skulls/ Imperial Knight Kitbash: It's NOT a Kytan damn you!

Look, I already know what you are saying: "TJ shut up, bro, it's a Kytan." and you'd probably be right, which is why I am posting these blue-tac fittings to get some advice from the creative souls on the blogosphere (well, for those of us left).

Skullreaver Khorne Daemon Prince Conversion!

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! CONVERSIONS FOR THE ... SPRUE GOD! I just want to share a quick preview of a Khorne Daemon Prince I converted up and will have painted soon.

Dual Wielding Berzerker: Hollywood Zerk #4

TJ here with Hollywood Berzerker number 4. Gris, the dual pistol wielding zerk is a part of the original squad I converted back in 2009 and it feels nice to get some paint on him. Let's take a look at how he turned out.

Alas Sicarius, I knew him well: Hollywood Berzerker #3

TJ here with another of my converted Zerks. This one has some massive bragging rights as he carries the helm of the Ultramarines' second company commander. I will let the reader decide whether that is Sicarius or perhaps some commander from the past. Anyway, let's take a look at the model:

Hollywood Khorne Berzerker #2: Zharuk, Legion Executioner

TJ back again with my second Khorne Berzerker for my Hollywood squad. Let's take a look:

Garrax, the Crimson Mist, Khorne Berzerker #1 painted

TJ here with the first painted Berzerkers for my World Eaters. Garrax is one of the eight berzerkers I made for the 8 days of Khornemas in Dec. 2009. These guys were all converted to the best of my ability at the time and with a new Khorne-specific codex, I figured I would get them painted up. Let's take a look at the first member of the squad.

Khorne Berzerker Freehand Armor for World Eaters WIP: Opinions Required!

TJ here to ask for your opinions on a paint scheme I am working on for my World Eaters. I have free handed skulls and Khorne symbols on the larger surfaces. Right now only half the model has the new paint scheme applied to the red parts of the armor and most of the details are better visible in the photos below. 

Knight Fever

 Hey everyone, KrautScientist here. Seeing how TJ's latest posts have been focused on Knights and similar superheavy walkers, I thought I'd ride the same wave and talk about converting Imperial Knights to Chaos.

Having worked on my own Chaos Knight conversion recently, I have put a fair bit of thought into the business of building Knights to fight for the ruinous powers -- and it would certainly make lots of sense to make you dear readers profit from the research I did for my own project, right? Thought so! Now if you would step this way, please...

World Eaters Knight Titan Lord of Skulls Kitbash: Inspiration and a Plan!

TJ here. Ok, so it is no secret that I love huge conversions and evil machines/ monsters. For more than a year, I have looked at the Lord of Skulls and wished it was something else, something more. Then Imperial Knights came along and I got really excited, but figured the scale of the Lord and the Knight were off (the torso seemed way too big for the knight legs in photos ... but then I just kept getting bombarded with ideas.

My very first Obliterator...

Hey everyone, KrautScientist here. Today I would like to talk about a model that seems to have been ages in the making: I recently managed to finally complete the very first Obliterator model for my World Eaters. Now why did it take me so long? After all, it could have been as easy as picking up a box of Oblitz from my FLGS, assembling them and slapping on some paint, right? Where's the problem?

Yes, well. I have a bit of a complicated history when it comes to Obliterators. Allow me to elaborate.

Quo vadis, Centurions? An In-Depth Review

Hey everyone, Krautscientist here. And for the fluently Latinate among you: Yes, I realise it should probably rather say "Centurione" or "Centuriones" in the title ;) Anyway, what is this about?

With the Space Marine release now some time behind us, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at what may be one of the more divisive GW kits in recent history: the Centurions.

The Hunt continues...

Hey everyone, KrautScientist here. It's been a while since I last posted here, although life has been rather stressful, and keeping my own blog afloat was all the blogging work I could handle for a while. Does that mean I didn't have any hobby time either, though? No, far from it! As a matter of fact, today I would like to show you some of the things I have been up to...

Building a Better Heldrake - KrautScientist's Take

Hey everyone, KrautScientist here. Today I would like to add my own two cents to the discussion about building a flyer for your Chaos Space Marine army. OST already outlined two fantastic ways to go about this task, showcasing both his amazingly disturbing "Hellworm" as well as his very cleverly kitbashed Nurglite Heldrake conversion. But what about those of us sworn to another chaos god? And is it even possible to use the actual Heldrake kit to make something cool? I would like to show you my approach to answering those questions.

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:

It Came From the Forums: GuitaRasmus' Chaos Marine Projects!

Old School here with one of the best It Came From the Forums Posts I think I have presented in recent memory. Today we look at GuitaRasmus' Legio Morbidus, World Eaters and more. First though, we will look at a project that is so amazing and original, that I am sure it will spark many similar conversions and certainly inspired my own Hellworm Project - This fly monster based off of the Arachnarok kit and bashed together with green stuff, Ork bits and scratch built rotors! The hell drake should be very jealous of this nasty bug! Let's look at what else this artist has in store for us!

Building A Better Khorne Berzerker with 3rd Party and Standard Parts

Old School here with the second installment of posts focused on building better Chaos Marines. This time we are going to talk about Khorne Berzerkers and Khorne Marked Marines. The berzerker is a special kind of evil to me as he is the embodiment of rage, the full, violent potential of the Adeptus Astartes unleashed, unbound by the chains of discipline! The only problem is that the GW khorne Berzerker kit is a little dated. Let's look at bits and kits that will help you build a better Khornate Marine!
