Second Warhammer Underworlds warband is now ready - this time, one based on Garrek's Blood Reavers. You can see the conversions HERE. The whole idea was to get rid of all the ornaments and make them look more like low-fantasy Vikings, turning them into raiders that do worship Khorne and believe is piling skulls for his throne, but know him under a different name and don't know anything about the 'mainstream' cult.
Besides simplifying their sculpts and changing some bits, I wanted to differentiate them from normal Khorne warriors through paint too. I choose pale, desaturated colors and painted their clothes in many different hues, not only red and brown. Their weapons are also simpler and dirtier than the ones proposed by GW. To make them extra special I freehanded some Norse- and Celtic-inspired tattoos on them.
In the end, work on them was a fun experience and I think they turned out pretty well. It was also probably the first time in my life when I painted so much human skin! Now all that remains is the Stormcast warband - they are easily taking much more effort than both other teams combined, several times over!

First, all the brothers together as a whole warband:
Next, the singular warriors, with Garrek Gorebeard and Bloodbeast Sarrek going first:
And last, but not least, the rest of them - Karsus, Targor and Arnulf:
Brudno, brzydko i zielono! Malowanie pasuje do modeli, świetne tatuaże. Podoba mi się efekt końcowy!
ReplyDeleteBardzo podoba mi się to podsumowanie na początku ;P Wielkie dzięki!
DeleteOciekają klimatem! Świetne!
ReplyDeleteDzięki :D
DeleteI to się nazywa doskonała konwersja. Dodatkowo malowanie nadało całości pożądanego efektu "fantasy-vikings". Jak dla mnie rewelacja.
ReplyDeleteBardzo cieszy mnie taki komentarz ;) Dzięki, cieszę się, że się podoba!
DeleteTo, proszę Pana, jest po prostu za dobre.
ReplyDeleteMyślałem, że mam dobry pomysł na Garreków, ale tego to się przebić nie da.
Świetne te tatuaże, świetna paleta barw. Powtórzę za Asterixem - "fantasy-vikings-rewelacja".
Takie komentarze to dopiero cieszą ;) Dzięki! Znając Twoje pracę, pewnie będę sam myślał podobnie - czekam z niecierpliwością ;)
