Helbrute

Prepare to set free the wrath of the Helbrutes, walking engines of destruction piloted by tormented Chaos Space Marines trapped within their metal chests, perpetually trapped in agonizing insanity as they seek to inflict their eternal torment upon their hapless victims. These infernal sarcophagi are equipped with a vast arsenal, allowing them to rain down devastating fire support or unleash brutal mechanical appendages to crush and maim with unparalleled strength.

Embark on an enthralling building experience with this multipart plastic kit that constructs a single Helbrute, a twisted Dreadnought offering a myriad of weapon combinations. The left arm presents a range of choices including a missile launcher, a writhing power scourge, a massive hammer, or a crushing fist. Meanwhile, the right arm can be armed with a plasma cannon, a multi-melta, a twinned lascannon, a twinned heavy bolter, a reaper autocannon, or a formidable fist. Adding to the versatility, each of the Helbrute’s fists can feature a wrist-mounted combi-bolter or a palm-mounted heavy flamer.

Unleash your creativity with an abundance of customization options packed within this monstrous box. The miniature features posability at the waist, shoulders, and neck, granting you the freedom to achieve dynamic poses on the battlefield. Choose from six different ball-jointed heads, allowing you to truly embody the spirit of your Helbrute. Additionally, the kit includes three sets of horns for the sarcophagus, two shoulder pads for the left arm, and a variety of weapon-pipes to cater to different desired poses.

How to paint the Helbrute set

1. Step 1: Basecoat the Helbrute’s armor using a color you like. Mephiston Red, Abaddon Black, Death Guard Green, Thousand Sons Blue are all good options since you can use this miniature in a variety of Chaos Armies.
2. Step 2: Apply a layer of Leadbelcher to the metal areas of the model, such as the weapons and mechanical parts, to give them a metallic appearance.
3. Step 3: Use a brush to carefully paint the fleshy areas of the Helbrute, like the exposed parts of the pilot, with a suitable flesh tone such as Bugman’s Glow or Ratskin Flesh.
4. Step 4: Apply a wash, like Agrax Earthshade or Nuln Oil, over the entire model to add depth and shading to the different areas. This will help bring out the details and create a weathered look.
5. Step 5: Highlight the raised edges and prominent details of the model by drybrushing with a lighter color. For example, you can use a lighter silver shade like Stormhost Silver to highlight the metallic areas, and a lighter flesh tone like Cadian Fleshtone to highlight the fleshy parts.
6. Step 6: Use various colors to paint the smaller details, such as the eyes, symbols, and wires, using a small brush for precision. For instance, you can use Flesh Tearers Red for the eyes and symbols, and Averland Sunset for the wires.
7. Step 7: Apply a suitable wash, like Reikland Fleshshade or Drakenhof Nightshade, to the areas where you’ve painted the smaller details to enhance the definition and add depth.
8. Step 8: Finish off the model by basing it. You can use texture paints, such as Astrogranite or Stirland Mud, to create a realistic ground texture. Then, paint the base with suitable colors to match your army’s theme.
