From DallasE: Khorne Bloodletters (25 points)

More on the Khornate 40K project... of course there has to be some daemons right?? Well, I'd painted three Bloodletters for an Idols of Torment game a few years ago and had four left in a Plano case. But Khorne's sacred number is 8, so I had to find another one... which I did, on eBay, a couple weeks ago. So the remaining five Bloodletters went under the brush this weekend.

This is the new one, he looks like a Champion of some kind which is good, he's the only example of this sculpt in the group.

The paint recipe for these guys is easy... the skin is Khorne Red, Mephiston Red, Evil Sunz Scarlet just blended upwards. Horns and claws are Cantor Blue highlighted with Thunderhawk?

Eyes and teeth are Wraithbone, I was reading in the old Slaves to Darkness book that Bloodletters have "milky eyes" so I redid the eyes on the first three as well. The weapons were fun to do, they were painted Corax White and washed twice (heavily) with Biel-Tan Green. I think they look pretty cool and of course red and green are complimentary colours so that works.

 

Can't not post a bare-cheeked rear view of these daemons! ;-)

Counting twenty-five points for five 28mm models here, that will bring me to my goal of 500 points, ta very much. Hopefully I'll be back with another entry later in the week.

Cheers,

Dallas

You did terrific work on these iconic castings, Dallas. Even though the posing is a bit limited, these are still my favourite Bloodletter designs to-date. I like your blue-black horns and nails, and the Biel-Tan Green swords are the chef's kiss. What a great contrasting colour!

Congrats on meeting your 500 point target and I look forward to seeing a final entry later this week.
