Video Compilation of my Khorne Demons

A whole bunch of pics compiled in this video of my 2008 Chicago GT Khorne Demon army. 

My Bloodthirster....The Face to Fear

Yea, he's mean and ugly.  Lots of major and minor conversion work done on him. Fresh pics of him with my DSLR camera.  Even has some game table flock on him, as the model does get used.

This is a throwback to showing of my old stuff.  I converted and painted this monster back in 2008 to lead my all Khorne Demons fantasy army.  It was the center piece of the army that won me Best Appearance in Games Workshop's 2008 Chicago GT.   It also made first cut in the Golden Demon's Paint contest at Gamesday in the Monster category, which is really good for just an army piece. 

It is some of my better paint work, all brush work, no airbrush on this.  The left leg is moved forward, new whip handle, added armor, new tabard of chains, more hair, chains and skulls added to the wings like the Belakor demon prince.

The reds have tons of highlights and shades put into them.  The wings drove me insane painting them.

Changed the detail of the axe.  Added the skull for the belt line.

Added Khorne symbols to the axe.  Added the gauntlet, and the brass knuckles.

Removed all of the old skulls from the beltline and added more up to date skulls.  

The basing:  Yea I wanted to go with blood pools and not lava.  Everyone does lava.  To make mine different all of the basing for the army had a theme of hands coming up out of the pools of blood dragging humans and human body parts down to the depths of where ever Khorne comes from.  So simply I smoothed out all of the bases where the blood would be, added the bits, painted the reds for the pools and swirls, then when all done and sprayed with clear, I went back to the bases and covered all of the blood with high gloss urethane to make it pop.

 If you look really close at the highlighted Brass colors, you'll notice the use of a purple and green wash depending on how the light hits it.  Year their is also dark brown, black, and rust colored washes too, along with Vallejo Smoke.

So the model is nearly 7 years old, been used alot, has along with the rest of the army won me numerous tournament best appearance awards and is still holding up with only a minor paint chip and damage on one of the wings that I'll be repairing soon.

With the new plastic Blood Thirster having come out, at some point I will probably buy one, and downgrade this model to a Demon Prince for the army.   I have one more of these old metal Blood Thirsters, that I had always planned to convert and build, just didn't get around to it.  Its now on my desk being sketched on, and should make a nice Demon Prince model for my Chaos Warriors army of mutants.  Next time I paint something this large, the base coats are going to be laid down with my airbrushes.

New Warhammer Demon WIP for my Khorne Army

 Since I built my Khorne Demon army I've only made one addition to the army and that was a unit of OOP Blood Letters, the old beefed up metal models.  I've had this model setting on my desk for a quite a long time.

The ole Belakor model.  I thought it would look pretty cool in the army and have wanted to paint it for quite some time.  So I think it will make a cool addition.  I did not do any conversion work on it.  My old army is all mounted on smooth faux blood pool bases.  To prep the base, I sanded and shaved all of the relief off it.

Back when I built the army, I used pieces of cut up plasti-card for the bits of land, covered in HO Scale railroad ballast.  I had also added heads and demonic looking hands in the blood pools.

A new Khorne Herald and a gor

 Been awhile since I built another Khorne Herald / Bloodletter.  I Think I have build close to 150 of these guys for myself and on commission.  I have parts left for one more after this one and then that is it, no more of these guys.  This one will go up on Ebay.

 I once again corrected the posture of the model, and then added the beaten armor look to him.  Both of these techniques can be found on my Tutorials page. 

 Next up, a gor for my chaos warrior mutant marauders.  And no James this is not your gor, but I did do these two conversions while building the piece for the Lost In The Warp blog crossover.

 I have quite a few beastmen bits left over also, but supplies are dwindling.  One of the things that I am nearly out of is horns, so I kit bashed some from a different model line.

 The plate armor technique again can be seen in a How To in the Tutorials page.

Added a few straggly strands of hair to cover up the joins of the horn kit bash, and done.

Next up Viking Eye Candy.

New Khorne Demon Unit....

Well here they are...almost done. As you can see the banner is bare. Eventually I will put something on that, but for now it is as bare as it gets.

I really do love these old models, they have some much character. As I stated previously these models are what influenced me to take the naked plastics and add armor and tabbards to them.


You can see the movement tray is even bloody. Actually this one of my older movement trays. And actually there are 14 of these older models. Why 14, well that's all I have.

Next up some WIP pics of my crusaders.

Painted Khorne Demon...what is to come

I've had this miniature for years, and have always love the dynamics of it. With 8th coming out I needed to bolster the ranks a bit, so this with the unit that is coming, will do just that.

I kept the theme the same as the plastics. I also love the axes. Khorne screams axes.


The demonic hand rises out of the depths

I love this angle also. This is the way GW should make all of their musicians.

I'll post the entire unit of the old school bloodletters in a day or so. They were a real treat to paint. And besides the demon-prince that I still plan to do, I'm done with the Khorne Demons.

The next thing I will be doing is focusing on the Romans, getting them ready, for Adepticon is coming. After they are done then its on to the crusades for a bit. There will be some 40k stuff thrown in, as well as, a few more orcs.

Let there be bloody war...The next Khorne Herald

The next of my Khorne Heralds on foot. Like the previous I wanted to armor him up a bit more than my regular blood letters.

Also thought about changing up the weapons to make him stand out a bit more. This one I gave an axe. A sort of brutal looking axe. Something I have had for awhile. Its from Reaper Miniatures.


The basing is done up like the rest of my minis in this army, blood pools with heads and sometimes demonic hands reaching up from the depths of hell.

Another view of the head in the blood pool and the oposite side of the axe.

The other reason to paint your weapons like this is to play up the whole Hellstorm Blade demonic weapon bit.

So there you have it the second herald on foot.

New Khorne Demonic Herald...Finished Pics

My Khorne Demon army is in need of reinforcements and a bit of restructuring to be playable in 8th edition. Definitely need more infantry, and I also decided to build some heralds on foot.


If you are going to give them Armor of Khorne, then give them armor. Basically with this guy I decided to armor him up a bit more than my regular bloodletters.

I also chose to make him a bit more distinguishable by giving him the bold orangish sword.

So there you have the first of a couple of new heralds.

Back to Modeling

I occassionally do commission work when time permits and the right project is requested. So this bad boy came up and has consumed me a bit. I'll let you guess what model it is, what I'm doing to it, what it will be used for. BUT I thought it would be nice to give people a view of the work in progress pictures to give an idea of how I generally approach a project like this in stages, more to follow on this project later. This just a build project, so I will not be slinging paint on it.
