Another painted World Eater with Jump Pack, Chain Axe and Bolt Pistol

As the title of this posts suggests, here is another completed World Eater with a jump pack, chain axe and bolt pistol ready for deployment.


The splatter on this marine is intended to be very one sided as possible (his right hand side / left as you're looking at the image). This has worked terrifically well on the beak of the helmet and reasonably on the torso. It is accomplished in the same manner as I've previously written about: blood for the blood god provides the thicker blobs, then I've flicked (using my finger nail) contrast red from the correct angle to get the finer splatter and spray going where I want it to land. The overall effect brings everything together nicely.

The observant will also notice the War Hounds iconography on the shoulder pad as well - suggestive of a more loyalist (or old) member of the World Eaters. This is brought up to date with the crossed chains on the grieve indicative of dealing with one of his own legion in the gladiatorial pits. There's also the usual level of grime and chips present, but these are dominated by the splatter which was the intent. Very pleased overall and this squad is almost ready to be brought together for a group photograph soon. Stay tuned.
