    Word Eaters : Khornates Legionnaires part two

    Hi there! The second step is done and sound the end of the modeling part of the project. 

    I focused on pole weapons and the back banners. Both provide a great consistence to the models and participate to extend the height and make the juggers tallers.

    Pole weapons

    I gathered several spare parts from my bits box as : Skaven blades, Chainsaw swords, modern plastic Khorne Icon, parts of original juggers such as Bloodletters heads, etc… To hold all those stuffs, I designed new scabbards in line of the Jugger new armour style, stamped with Khorne Skull rune, of course. All those artefacts represent gifts given by their patron for centuries of wars.


    Back banners

    Most of those pieces are revamped banners from Knightmare miniatures range. Sculpted by the talented Roberth Breséus and inspired by Ian Miller art works, I reused them as a solid base for my own interpretations of dreaded Chaos banners.

    The non-squarish back banners were designed by my self with additional bits from (again) Knightmare miniatures range and also from Diehard miniatures range. Those shields give an extra RoC flavor to the overall aspect, they’re inspired by Tony Ackland artwork from Slaves to Darkness book.

    1. Are we allowed to start a standing ovation? We had already loved your work on the fantasy knights of chaos, and we see that here too you are giving your best (or Khorne is inspiring you at your best, some would say...).
      Thanks for pointing out the Knightmare miniatures banners and chaos shields, which we didn't know about. We were struggling these days to design a chaos shield with the face of a demon in dog form and now we discover that there is an artwork in RoC and a shield already made on that model: fantastic! Could you tell us the diameter of that shield?

    4. Anonyme Outstanding work! I agree with Rodor you deserve a standing ovation. I am truly inspired to get some work done on my Khorne. The Juggernaut work is amazing as well. Out of curiosity, were you able to find the 022409 head? I have not been able to find that head anywhere. do you know if was ever released?
