After a nice little overtime payment from work I decided to treat myself to a Chaos Warhound!
I've always loved the model, especially the Chaos one over the Imperial version and as part of another project (Tale of Four Gamers) which is also on the project log I've been doing a FW Death Guard army over the last 6 months so i've decided to paint the Titan up in the same sort of colours and dedicate him to Grandfather Nurgle.
The project was initially going to be documented step by step but I seem to have moved on a little faster than I thought I would so this first post may be a little long and then it should settle down to a couple of posts a week maybe...
So after leaving the box on the side for 2 weeks whilst I finished off my DG army I finally got round to giving all the bits a good scrub in the sink:
Then after attacking it with a dremel and a saw I thought I'd see how easy the feet were to put together - four hours later i'd managed to get two of these done:
I was actually pretty worried about the feet, most probably more than any other part of the entire build and after a few dry fits it all seemed to go together pretty smoothly. The rest of the body I was able to do the next day, but didn't seem to take any photo's of it!!
So my work up to now has culminated in this:
I initially used an airbrush to paint the legs with boltgun metal and then covered that with a couple of washes of gryphon sephia and wash of the sephia with a little thraka green mixed in to give a 'Nurglely' look - not sure if im completely happy with it, I think I might give it a little devlan mud was as well.
The body plates and weapons have just been given a simple layer of camo green to start with and I now have to decide whether to stick with the green and wash and highlight it, or build up a couple more layers of colour so it looks more like this:
The metal trim is either going to be just boltgun metal with washes and highlights or Dwarf bronze -
again I might have to see how it goes once I start on it!
Thats it for now - I should hopefully have decided what to do with the colour scheme by the weekend and hopefully have completed a little test piece to show you.
Please, If you have any recommendations or comments feel free to stick them on!
