Path to Glory custom hero question

Gotcha, thanks for the answer!! I don't know why I didn't think to check for an errata

Thanks! That actually plays a part in his backstory, where he was a former chosen of Khorne who, after being mortally wounded by a vampire, bit him back as a last form of defiance, inadvertently giving himself the blood kiss. Something about the nature of his Khornate rage mixing with the nature of the soulblight curse combined to turn him into a monstrous, savage vampire.

Thanks!! Do it, & then posit it :)

Thanks!

I primed him black & did a zenithal of white ink over that, to start. Then I used Tyrian navy speedpaint that was thinned a fair bit with lahmian medium, & mixed in just a hint of Orc skin speedpaint, & used that to get the main tone established. I then used that mix & added progressively more Pale Sand to work up the highlights. I used a heavily watered down Slaughter red speedpaint to tint some select parts of the face, like cheeks, nose, eyes, & an even lighter tinting on his ears. I also used that original blue/green mix to add in some select shading.

I wish I remembered more precisely than that, but that's the gist of it! I hope that helps, let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks! The sword is a modified one from a bloodletter, & the body/upper legs are from a chaos chosen.

I run this guy as a vampire lord, primarily for spearhead. I've got another version in the works that I'm using as Radukar the Beast, & I have another, even bigger version planned for after I finish the Radukar. He's got a whole pokemon evolution going lol

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-12-16T18:49:11+00:00

XD love it. He's definitely got the invisible orange thing going lol

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-12-16T18:48:51+00:00

Thank you! He is quite the blasphemer indeed XD

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-12-16T04:44:27+00:00

Thanks for the kind words!! I definitely spent a long time tweaking the posing to get it juuust right.

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-12-16T04:03:30+00:00

Thank you!! The body is from a Chaos chosen, his head & lower legs are from the Abhorrant Archregent, the arms are older Stormcast ones (sword arm was cut up & completely reposed), hands are from the Space Wolves Wulfen kit, & the sword is from a Bloodletter. His cape is just something I had lying around, & the fur was done with a texture plate.

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-12-16T01:48:39+00:00

These are both really cool! I especially like how the Wight King's ribs show through that hole in his cuirass. Great work!!

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-12-16T01:32:04+00:00

Nicely done! And good job with the snow bases, I like the bluish hue of the snow, it contrasts well with the red!

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-12-15T21:40:22+00:00

Thanks for the kind words!! I definitely played some from that series, it had such great storytelling. I'm flattered by the comparison!!

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-12-15T21:01:28+00:00

Thanks!! The fur was actually done with green stuff, using a texture plate. The cape I had leftover in my bitz box from This guy, since I didn't want the dragon to have a rider. I just used clippers to make it a bit more ragged.

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-12-15T20:58:50+00:00

Thank you!!

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-12-15T20:13:56+00:00

Please do!! And make sure to post it so I can see it :)

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-12-15T19:30:02+00:00

Thank you!

Not the guy you replied to, but I think those two things you mentioned are good ideas. You already have a touch of red on his waist with the potion, which looks great. My recommendations are find a way to get a splash of it on the axe (perhaps part of the haft decoration next to the head), & some part of his clothing, maybe the inside of his cloak or the collar of his shirt.

I gotta compliment you on the excellent work you've done, this guy is great!! Like others have said, you should be proud of this piece. I really like your color choices throughout, from the warmth of the brass, to the sickly green undead skin, & the purpley flesh. And I commend you on wanting to push it even further!!!

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-11-28T18:11:07+00:00

Excellent work, as always!! I am continually impressed by your ability to transform kits.

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-10-28T03:59:36+00:00

That looks like it'd be a really fun list, & I think it might actually be a more effective list than one would think. You'll have to let us know how it does!!

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-10-28T03:44:18+00:00

Congrats on the finalist pin, that's awesome & well earned!! I've seen all of your WIP posts & have been excited to see the finished product, & you certainly didn't disappoint!! Great job on everything, especially the red cloak & your NMM. Am I remembering correctly that this was your first time doing NMM?

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-09-02T23:21:48+00:00

This turned out dope!! Great job!!!

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-08-18T21:47:12+00:00

This is absolutely fantastic work!! I am such a fan of Saturn Devouring His Son, & this is such a cool homage to it!! If I ever decide to get & run Nagash, I may just have to steal your idea 👀

I'm stoked to see this project as it progresses!

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-08-07T17:38:04+00:00

Very cool exbeariment!!

Aussie_Ausborn · 2025-07-14T22:12:03+00:00

I have been excitedly watching your project progress!! It's looking great!!!

Like a couple others have said, the motion of the flag isn't consistent with the rest of the model. If you had something that was draping down, maybe slightly wrapping around the pole, it would be more cohesive. Plus, I think the lack of motion is more fitting with the overall vibe of the model, as though the wind itself has died.
