Another entry in the Insane New Project sweepstakes, here is a Khornate Chaos Lord on a Juggernaut to accompany the Berzerkers I painted last week.
Since our preferred edition of 40K is 5th, I'm trying to build my Khornate 40K army exclusively from models that were current for that edition, and that means everything but the Berzerkers will be metal.*
This model was obtained through the mail from Tista Minis in Hamilton, Ontario and I feel like it was a bit of a bargain. I think I paid $35 CAD for it, painted (badly) of course, but it stripped down VERY nicely to bare metal in no time at all. Contrast that with a new (plastic) Chaos Lord on Juggernaut, available from GW for... $83 CAD. Of course the new one is likely twice the size of this one (it comes on a 90mm oval base, as opposed to the 60mm base this model sports), BUT it's also 66 parts, when the old metal model was... ten parts. AND IT'S METAL. A no-brainer.I just love the character on these old metal models. I think I finally discovered the blue formula for the armour deco.





Wow - a lot of work has gone into that - splendid.
ReplyDeleteGreat painting Dallas, but the even better part is the whole story of the find-and-repair! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThe Juggernaut does rather look as if he could use a bone...perhaps a skull?
hahaha well I did scatter some "spare skulls" on the base!
DeleteVery imposing and nicely painted. It’s funny but I think somehow all Wargames figures go through new, unloved then forgotten and finally some make the retro/ reappreciated stage. I suppose it’s human nature from skateboards and bicycles to cars and art…..
