Firefighter X Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 Having posted a blog a LONG time ago about my growing World Eaters Army, and neglecting said blog it has since dropped into obscurity. Instead of commiting Threadomancy, I decided to start over. Every unit will have some conversions in it and I'll be testing a few new ideas along the way. Over the course of however long this takes, here's what I'll be working on. Enought prattle.. on to the list. Khârn conversion [ Done needs paint ] Plastic DP [ Wings + CC Weapon ] 5 Man Termie Squad [ FW conversion bits ] FW Dual CC Dreads x2 8 man Berzerker Squads X5 [ 2 With FW kits ] 2-3 10 man World Eater Squads [ armed with Bolters, CCW, BP, IoK, Asp Champs with PW/ Mutations gifts..see below ] 6 Rhinos 8 Bloodletters Having recently sold off my MTG cards.. I came into some extra money.. with some of said money I placed a bits order from E-bay and bought a box of Bestigors.. I've been wanting to try this idea for my Aspiring Champions / Skull Champions ever since I saw horrain's Beastmarine conversion..Any CC will be greatly appreciated. All of my champs will be converted in some way shape or form using Bestigor, Possessed, FW parts, however the Skull Champions for the Berzerker squads will "go to 11".. The idea being that Khorne has rewarded them with mutations/gifts for service. http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Chosen/100_0024.jpg http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Chosen/100_0028.jpg This guy is armed with a PW and a BP. Let me know what you guys think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefighter X Posted December 12, 2010 Author Share Posted December 12, 2010 Thanks for the compliment Term.. I'm at the firehouse today and plan on working on the fellas tomorrow. I've taken some advise off of my post over on Heresy Online and will rework these guys a bit [ ie. adding the World Eater Shoulder pads to them to beef them up a bit and retain the CSM profile] More pics will be incoming tomorrow.

Firefighter X Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 New Champ Conversions 12/13/10 So, have I neglected to mention that I'm a proper nutter? If not, allow myself to introduce...myself. Taking the A+ feedback I've gotten from Heresy-Online members [ thx lads ] I came home from the firehouse today and got right to work.. I've redone the first Champ [ see OP for version 1.0 ] and I must say I like the new look MUCH better.. He's 98% done. There is a minor amount of GS work to be done on his right arm, where it meets the breastplate and there may be the errant mold line here and there but all will be fixed before paint.. Here's the new version..as always , C&C greatly appreciated. Squad 1 Champ http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Chosen/100_0041.jpg http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Chosen/100_0042.jpg http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Chosen/100_0043.jpg He got lonely so I made him a friend for Squad 2. http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Chosen/100_0046.jpg http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Chosen/100_0049.jpg http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Chosen/100_0045.jpg How are these looking brothers?

Dexter Kong Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Holy crap these look amazing. Now I have to ask, are you doing Khârn up as a beastly-mans too? I think that would be a really cool interpretation of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that would be a really cool interpretation of him. Firstly, thanks for the compliment. Secondly, ask and you shall receive. I didn't want to let the Kat out of the bag just yet, but yes, to answer your question....sort of [ the original idea base belongs to Tim over at vanustemple.com..thx mate ] .. enough.. here's my take on Special K. http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Berzerkers/100_0067.jpg http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Berzerkers/100_0071.jpg Keep in mind the colors are ROUGHLY painted in to show the overall scheme. He'll be painted to a much higher standard soon enough. FFX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GooseDaMoose Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 These are looking really cool. Are you doing the whole army with beastmen? Khârn looks awesome btw :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefighter X Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 These are looking really cool. Are you doing the whole army with beastmen? Khârn looks awesome btw :D Thanks Goose. I can't take cred for the Khârn idea.. Tim did it first.. I just used the horned head from the fantasy Lord on a Jugger and the huge chainaxe head from the pewter Ork Boss. No, just the Aspiring Champions / Skull Champions will be beastman-esque / Possessed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefighter X Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share Posted December 13, 2010 12/13/10 Berzerker Skull Champ Prototype. Earlier I said that my goal for the Skull Champions of my Berzerker squads was to " go to 11". I think i might have hit 9.5 on this attempt. What say you brothers? The idea here was to really convey his bloodlust.. no jogging, he's in a full on sprint, skull trophy in tow, bearing down on his next prey. I'd like to think he is pretty intimidating. A few things set him apart.. he's more possesses parts, indicating he's been "blessed" more [ read: closer to Daemon status] and the Rune of Khorne shoulderpad indicates he is a Berzerker, not just a World Eater. It's a kitbash of Possessed parts, Berzerker parts, and Bestigor parts [ the arm holding the skull by the hair ]. Skull Champion #1. [ armed with PF & BP] http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Berzerkers/100_0079.jpg http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Berzerkers/100_0075.jpg http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Berzerkers/100_0073.jpg BP gubbinz yet to be added.

Firefighter X Posted December 16, 2010 Author Share Posted December 16, 2010 12/16/10 Berzerker Skull Champ #2 Aspiring Champ #2 Right.. so Charter cable is pure rubbish...3 days without digital phone or interweb.... Nonetheless here's today's update.. I got my 2nd Berzerker Skull Champ done and the final Aspiring Champion for the 3rd World Eaters squad.. I'll be moving on to paint in a few.. First up Skull Champ #2 http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Berzerkers/100_0110.jpg http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Berzerkers/100_0109.jpg http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Berzerkers/100_0108.jpg Aspiring Champion #3 http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Chosen/100_0113.jpg http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Chosen/100_0111.jpg http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Chosen/100_0114.jpg Also. I'm strongly considering running a full 8 man squad of converted Beastzerkers.. Maybe a chosen squad? The more I make the more I like. If anyone is interested in how I do it.. I'm working on a step by step tutorial for how I make these guys. Let me know if that's wanted/Needed Lastly, I got my bits order in from Blackdagger Games [ class act they are ] from Ebay. .so expect more incoming conversions. Next Week..

MagicMan Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 These conversions are great, the last dudes arm looks a little odd with the upside-down shoulder pad, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefighter X Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 I think you work too slow! I want to see new stuff every day! It's hard to do when I work 2 jobs [ Firefighter/EMT for my city & EMT for a private ambulance company in a neighboring town ] and have a wife and 5 children. But I do try to do something with my free time. So. .I was totally unimpressed with the positioning of one of the arms for Aspiring Champ #3 and having my bits order come in, it was back to work. I'm MUCH happier with this version of him. I've also included a group shot of all 3 champs.. I'm REALLY considering making them an 8 man Chosen squad.. they look so vicious. New Champ #3 http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Chosen/100_0116.jpg http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Chosen/100_0117.jpg Group Shot.. http://i998.photobucket.com/albums/af107/Firefighter_X/Chosen/100_0118.jpg Once the flipping weather decides to cooperate, I'm moving to paint.. It's been so rainy and humid I can't basecoat anything. I plan on posting up my step by step tut for conversion in a few days also. Since a few people have expressed interest in how I do it.

Firefighter X Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Loving these! Great tutorial too. You've got my mind churning on an army of these and thats not good at all lol Thanks for the pat on the back.. by all means feel free to use my tut to make your army. I've taken inspiration for my stuff from several brothers here on the B&C. Glad you like them.. An army of Beastzerkers and Beastmarines [ gotta give horrain his credit too] would be EPIC. Sadly I don't have the budget for that [ 45 for a Bestigor box and 33 for a Berzerker box.. 80 bucks per 8 man unit= wife aggro], but man it would certainly attract a lot of attention at GD 2011 [ which is where I plan on debuting this army ]. I've also come to realize I prefer the Berzerker arms much more than the Bestigor arms.. they make him look way more beefy. FFX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefighter X Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 Really? You going to the Chicago one cause thats the one Im going for? Hoping to.. depends on schedule and family.. the money shouldn't be a prob if I start saving now. I may have to settle for an event in Maryland instead since my wife has family in Laurel [ right outside Glen Burnie ].. we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subtlebrush Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 AH I see. Ive been wanting to go to one for so long its ridiculous. I might give a go at making a squad of these after Christmas since I have a crap load of old Berzerkers in my basement collecting dust. I'll keep you posted on my progress and when it gets closer to GD I'll send you a heads up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I won't consider it ninja/hijacking.. I'd like to see your take on my take of Beastzerkers. I don't want to bog this one down.. FYI if ya do ebay bits orders [ I do ] use blackdagger games.. I use them & they're fast, honest, and affordable. FFX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
