berzerkermike84 Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Khârn the betrayer. ive been thinking of getting him into my army, but im unwilling to use any metal models any more. any ideas or tips for making a plastic model of him? also ill be skipping the failcast model of him since its well over 10 years old and should have been retired when the new codex came out.

Chaeron Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Shame - I still really like the model, and the metal will stand the test of time - and I actually believe the sculpt has too (despite being released in what... 1996?). I'd suggest basing the model you create upon the sculpt, looking for similar plastic bits from the Bezerker sprue and Chaos range - the grinning scull face from the Bezerker sprue comes to mind instantly.

Hellrender Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 I am of opposite mind. i think that Khârn should have received a new one. Anyhows, i would scratch built it out of some zerkers. See if you can make or find a bigger then average chain axe, and decide wether you want the naked arm or not. Give it a nice pose, on a nice base (maybe even based on the art in the codex) and you got yourself a neat model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arkagl Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I would use a bits of fantasy models kit bash if I was you, like take a Berzerk body and legs and plasma pistol arm or use the new Aspiring Champion body and cut off the head. The head would be trickie I would take a Skullcrusher head for Kharns head or atleast use the helmet side thingies cut them off and put them on a berzerker helmet. They seem to look closed to Kharns head. Next I would use a Marauder arm for his Axe arm and the Gorechild could be a FW Chainaxe. The back pack just take off the exhaust and replace them with skulls. Chains you can get at an arts and craft store in the jewelry section.

berzerkermike84 Posted April 15, 2013 Author Share Posted April 15, 2013 i might just used Khârn's body,hurons axe arm and power pack and use a raptor arm with plasma pistol and the head....idk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azekai Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 I really like Khârn's head. His braid thingies look goofy, but the curving horns are so iconic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berzerkermike84 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 im thinking of using the term lord head for his or something from the fantasy range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnerboy1607 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 The head from the jugger lord for fantasy is pretty cool looking, and then you could use one of the khornate champion from fantasy (the one with the mace/axe i think on top of the skulls) and just cut around at places and start gluing other bits! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer le Boucher Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Use Raptors/Warp talons Legs with FW torso and Shoulder pads, and Khârn's Head, you can take one of those cool Dark Vengeance Chosen backpacks, and for the Gorechild a beefed up chainaxe or even Khârn's own Gorechild. Personnaly i like metal minis better then Failcrap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyl- Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 I used a terminator power axe arm and took the teeth and engine from a chainsword to make it a large chain axe. If the shoulder is cut down and a standard marine sized pauldron is put in place, the arm actually doesn't look too big when next to another berzerker arm. (not sure if we all noticed yet, but the beerzerker arms are thicker) The rest of the bits I used are basically berzerker peices and a bunch of the decorative chain bits. You can tell who it's supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheex Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 If I had unlimited access to bits, here's what I'd do: Legs - one of the Chaos Raptor ones, modified to look more like they're running. I've done this on a Berzerker Champion already and it's pretty easy to do! Torso - probably just stick with a Space Marine torso that looks like Khârn's (mk4 or 5, can't remember). Add the chain loincloth from the Chaos Lord kit. Head - not plastic, I know, but I'd use the WHFB Khorne Lord on Juggernaut head. If you're dead set against Finecast, then you can probably use one of the heads from the Skullcrusher kit. Right arm - Chaos Raptor arm with plasma pistol. Left arm - WHFB Chaos Marauder or Beastman arm. I've seen people use an Ork arm for this, but I think it looks a little too big. Backpack - Dark Vengeance Chosen backpacks are cool. I've also made backpacks before using a regular one with skulls replacing the vents, to replicate Khârn's design. Chainaxe - I love zyl-'s idea, so I'd go with that! Maybe it's a little over-the-top (I love kitbashing), but hopefully there's some useful ideas in there :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaeron Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 Scarred! I have a vague recollection of his nose being broken... and being reasonably well described at one point. However, I can't remember where! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slayer le Boucher Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Battle damage, or simply because its Khârn, and that is more Brutal this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
