Swinging a spiked metal ball in devastating arcs,
dragging unfortunate foes into its path with a massive,
notched blade, this Slaughterpriest is so dedicated
to the howling devotion to the Blood God
that even his enemies begin to fall to blind, berserker rage –
that is, as long as they are not boiled alive by the heat,
rage and fury of the Slaughterpriest’s brutal attentions.

Hello people of the world and welcome to The Art of Caesura!
After Necromunda galore, we're shifting back to the Mortal Realms! The last time we were in those climes, I was working on Battle for Skull Pass. We'll be returning to that soon, but first...a champion of Khorne...or the ground he's desecrating anyway.

Hello people of the world and welcome to The Art of Caesura!
After Necromunda galore, we're shifting back to the Mortal Realms! The last time we were in those climes, I was working on Battle for Skull Pass. We'll be returning to that soon, but first...a champion of Khorne...or the ground he's desecrating anyway.
Longtime readers will notice that the way I started this base is very similar to how I did my Kharadron bases. I started by finding some appropriate stones in the garden (actually my neighbour's garden...shhhh...), cleaning them and using a hot glue-gun to attach them to his base.
Next, to add some texture, I just use white (PVA) glue to attach sand to the base and parts of the stones, and then seal it with watered down PVA glue.
As Khorne is known for only two things, blood and skulls, it was time to delve into the skull pack.
I ended up opting not to use the Kroot skull, but found a few more to appease Khorne.
On to painting! I painted them using stocked up bottles of brush-on black primer (Imperial Primer) that I actually found when I was in Spain a few months ago. I wanted to have the base in cool colours to contrast the red-hot paint job of the man himself.
I started by dry brushing on a neutral grey (Abaddon Black + White Scar), wash with Drakenhoff Nightshade, then add Lothern Blue to the original grey for subsequent highlights.
The skulls were painted separately (Ushabti -> Agrax ->Ushabti + white) and popped on all over the place.
You can see slight teasers of the Slaughterpriest, who we'll take a closer look at next week right here on The Art of Caesura!
