So after giving away my Chaos Land Raiders to a mate (not sure whether I really liked the look of them), I set about working on the RT designs that I picture most appropriate for the World Eaters.

With a little bit of work with assistance from the Chaos and Dark Eldar sprues I was able to get my hands on, here are the results:

I believe these have far more character than the GW Chaos Land Raiders.

So this is another 300 Points to my total

Reducing goal (left to paint to reach target): 1325 points

Here is a little project (secret squirrel - shh!) I am also working on to 'fix' what I saw as some bad designs in the GW Jugger model.

As it is 6mm, I am doing my best. I am happy with how they are progressing.

Can I make a suggestion on the helmet vanes, FB? Try using plastic card add-ons. ;) I think it'll be a cleaner job for you. Just lop off the current ball-and-arms design and stick on a fresh, easier to cut design - not to mention less time-consuming. The good thing with the Khorne helmet vanes is they're straight edged so cutting them out would be easy enough to do ahead of the join.

:( I have already finished 16 and undercoated them for the total of 8 bases.

No issue however. I am pretty happy with how they turned out. I also have about 7 that had heads etc lopped off so I have some extra models for the bits box :D

Thanks all. With my recent interest in WHFB I am really looking to either get this finished or slow down to concentrate on getting a force painted for that game. Not sure yet.

In any event, I should have some more stuff to put up tomorrow - it is very much a 'paint and churn' production line on my hobby table at present.

One more day of Easter holiday to go :)

I am happy to report that I have just finished 8 Rhinos to add to the force.

Not sure whether the skull heads are a bit much however they are done now. I can always add more.

In regards to the Khorne symbol being wonky - I was going to redo it, however then I had the image of the World Eaters attaching such plates with melta weapons to stick them on asap so as not to waste time with them. In this case, I left it that way to provide more character (for me anyways)

So this is another 100 Points to my total (counting these as Berserker retinue transports)

Reducing goal (left to paint to reach target): 1225 points

So I found some free time and was able to finish these guys off.

All the helmets have been re-fashioned to be Khornate helmets, the silly large spike was taken off the guns and the flag poles removed (as Khorne cares nothing for grand standing and the like).

I tried to go for the metallic feel mixed with the red building up from a darker base. The camera seems to give off a different red than in real life which effects the other colours - I am going to go to an introductory camera course quite soon. Overall I am happy with the conversions and paint job.

So this is another 400 Points to my total

Reducing goal (left to paint to reach target): 825 points
