Garro: Sword of Truth Cover Art

So, no WIP post today (though I have been working on my Apothecary), but I thought I'd share this new artwork with you.

And the marine on the left is clearly a WS, who is set to be the first White Scar character in the series (and looks bad ass) Though why a son of Khan is running around with a bunch of guys from traitor legions is interesting, personally I cant wait to listen to this, though I'm still lagging way behind on Fulgrim, so it may be a while..

Kergis Khan (Part 2, Wrath of Khan)

Ok, so I suppose the first thing I have to do is apologise for the title of this post..

Anyway, picture time kiddies! Sorry for the bad picture quality, but you should get the gist of what I'm going for. The basic idea is a captain (Khan) on bike, with a relic weapon, in this case a power spear.

The spear is a relatively easy conversion. The blade coming from the Jain Zar Phoenix Warrior, the power generator is from a thunder hammer, a horse (Okay its a wolf one really) from the SW box, and then plastic rod for the handle.

Backpacks from the DA's box, torso is SW's with a lightning bolt added, heads from the SM Commander box set, with a SW top knot.

The right shoulder pad is supposed to be Kergis' own heraldry.

The fur on the back is his cloak, which he's taken off while he's on his back,

and I will be adding a few extra

gubbins on the back of the bike, including helmet etc.

The Horse parts are from Wood Elf elven steeds, as I had some spare, may have to redo the green stuff on the right side (it got a bit squashed), and I still have to add his banner (again will have his heraldry on it). I think that's it for now, any questions, pop them in below

Kergis Khan

So I'm currently working on my Khan model. Well he's based on a Character from 'Hunt for Voldorius' & 'Legends of Space Marine'. I'm aiming to further his story, where he's been promoted to Captain of the 4th Brotherhood. This is for him on his bike, but I fully intend to have versions of him on foot & in terminator armour. I actually started him a couple of months ago, but Kind of hit the wall with him and he was set aside for quite a while.

That was until I came across a couple of things recently, which have inspired me

The White Jaw of the Khan

This was a video that was featured over on the White Scars blog, and is linked to here

Now needless to say, but this is awesome, insane & I can't wait for it to be finished. Now I knew I wanted to modify my bike, and I had done some minor work, but nothing unsubstantial. But this gave me the idea for the front of his bike, to try and convey the whole bike/steed idea (and also gave me an idea for a Moondraken conversion!)

Metal Apostles Khan

If you're not on Bolter & Chainsword, or just haven't seen Metal Apostles Scars I suggest you go have a look now.

Anyway, it's awesome, while I'm not a fan of the 'Chopper' look, I like how he's used Hunter Killers for the forks.

But what I really like are the exhausts & the front wheel cover & the extra stowage on the back. The flag is also the same(well nearly) as what I plan to do.

Anyway, pictures will be up tomorrow!
