Something new

[plaguereaper]

Hey guys, I've been in the hobby for around 5 years now, with a ton of models under my belt. Most of those models have been orks and Plague marines. Lately I decided to do a Black Legion army which included Bezerkers. The thing is that I hate the current GW zerkers set. So I decided to do my usual thing and get custom guys (every single plaguemarine of mine is converted)

 

I've been inspired by some really good zerkers, and that made me want to take my time and make them look as good as I can make them.

This is my first time ever working with red, and the first time I have ever used a white base coat.

 

I Based it white, and painted the armor panels blood red, I also started painting the details and trim black.

Here I have all the cables, trim, chain, and other bits all painted, without any washes yet.

The next members of the squad, I'm planning on a 8 man squad (8 is Khorns number right?)

Yup, He's Huron Black heart with different weapons

This guy is just a plastic marine with Zufor's Head and Axe. (Zufor got messed up and broke so I parted him out)

 

I am notorious for starting a post/ blog and not going any further after a week or so(just look at my titan blog in my sig) But I'm going to try my hardest to get one model done per day, and update it daily also.

 

Please tell me what you think. C&C wanted and will force me off my ass to update :yes:

Very nice conversions!! B)

I like the Huron Blackheart one the best. :P

[Pig Of Sparta]

I've toyed with using the metal Huron Blackheart mini for a conversion but never got around to doing it. Seeing yours makes me want to give it a try all the more. The painted mini looks pretty good, but (and this might be as you said down to the different light) the red looks to be lacking definition. I think you might need to go back and redefine some of the the areas, particularly the upper areas of the mini as the red just kinda seems to blend together. Other than that you've got a good clean style of painting there and I look forward to seeing more of these guys :D

Awesome looking zerker :)

 

Only one criticism, the blood on the axe looks very flat. Maybe a few glazes of ink (Red with a spot of brown and a spot of purple looks quite good) would help make it look more like gore :P

[plaguereaper]

Thanks for the comments guys. As for the daily updates I promised, I won't be able to for a day or two, bcause my local games store doesn't have Baal red wash that I want in order finish the bezerkers. Since I took that picture, I have added more black lineing, and highlighting. As for the axe, I'm going to chop it off, and make a double headed chain axe. (I'm gonna order a set of FW axes)

 

Also, I was shopping online for my paints and I found a new bezerkers model, it's a chaos warrior by Avatars of War. I'm really looking forward to this guy, cuz the model looks amazing.

Updates when I can get them.

[plaguereaper]

I finally have an update for you guys. Today after class my order came in of my Avatars of War guy, and my paints. The first thing I did was give my only finished zerker a wash of Baal Red. Then I got around to converting the mini I got, swapping the head, a backpack, and giving him different weapons.

And I started painting my converted Huron model

http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6048.jpg

Since I now have Scab Red, I started with that as the base coat, then did a couple heavy drybrushings of Blood Red, and the details black. More tomorrow since I actually have paints and models to work with.

 

(Also, today I placed an order for a set of FW chain axes, which I', going to replace my first bezerker's demon-faced axe with)

outstanding, a detailed tutorial would be a great additon to all of us who want to make khorneate models

[plaguereaper]

lol I've never been asked to do a tutorial before, but I think I could do it. I'll try writing one up after I've done a few and have practiced my technique more. Granted, this is my first red mini ever.

[plaguereaper]

I did a little more painting this morning, I've finished my converted Huron guy (except some black lining here and there)

And I also did a simple Khorne symbol on his should pad

I also have started on my next guy, simply giving him an armor basecoat of scab red.

http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6052.jpg

I love any and all feedback, even if its "good job", or more likely "you suck" lol

Thanks for looking, more tomorrow

[Darius Macab]

it might just be the light, but it looks like the model needs a good coat of the ol' badab black ;)

Very cool, I love the Huron conversion. Would you mind posting a shot of the Avatars of War guy up next to a GW model? I'm curious as to the scale.

[plaguereaper]

Little update today, I finished painting my bezerker with the zufor head.

I did this guy instead of my Avatars of War guy, frankly because that guy scares me lol. There is alot of detail on him, but I promise, I will get him done.

[plaguereaper]

I bought an assault squad today, andI had some left over bits, so I thought I'd make another guy.

 

He's the sarg/champion.

http://i339.photobucket.com/albums/n457/chickenbgood/DSCF6088.jpg

I still have a ways to go with painting him, I just did some red and gold.

 

BTW, I don't currently have a csm codex (my brother has it) and I'm not a 100% on weather Bezerkers can have lighting claws, can they?

I hope so, because I like the model.

[Lynnean]

i'm afraid they can't :rolleyes:

[Captain Mick]

Just taking a looking in the codex but they cant have lighting claws. Only a champion can have the Power Weapon/Power first and a plasma pistol upgrade. Nice looking models btw :rolleyes: .

[plaguereaper]

Well bah humbug, I guess I'll have to do a count as for a PW or PF, thanks.
