discussion A Blood thirster, apparently.

[mossiepilot]

I've been struggling with figure painting for a while, and recently a friend of mine offered me his unpainted War Hammer 40K figures for a stupidly cheap price. Needless to say I got them. I've never been into war gaming, but the chance to practice my figure painting was too good to miss.

So, this is a Blood Thirster, a Chaos demon - View attachment 61228View attachment 61229View attachment 61230View attachment 61231View attachment 61232 It's my first go at larger figure painting, please be kind.

Thanks for looking.

Tony.

being into dungeons and dragons etc, I've painted more citadel figures than common sense should allow over the years

that's a really nicely done figure mate. not too over-done or too gaudy with the colours. a lot of people think as they're fantasy figures that they can be painted any old way but they still need to be believable and finished off nicely ... to which yours fits in perfectly

Nice work, what a grunter! im digging the platted steel whip.

Thanks for the encouraging posts guys. He was a bit of a beast to do as it was the first white metal figure ever I've built let alone painted, ans the colours were off the top of my head where I'm used to following an instruction sheet, plus I'd never used shading before. I'm pleased with how he turned out.

this is what he should look like



and yours is very very very close, nice work mate, very nice indeed, maybe if you get a full 2000 point Khorne army (he is one of the chaos god khornes constructs) then we could have a game?

Thanks mate for the good comment, but I just paint 'em, I'm not a gamer.

Very good effort he's a rather scary and not to be argued with!!

Maybe on the next one try a bit of Flory's dark mud wash all over the figure then remove most of it with a cotton bud to leave some in the gaps and low points to add a little shadowing.
