Berzerkers look great. The one with the Chainsword is really nice.

 

I'm sure the Cultist loves knitting! 

[Gederas]

New 'Zerkers look good (I actually found my kitbashed ones and will be starting on them again) and glad to hear Nurgling #2 is doing well.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Boom! 

Two more berzerkers.

This time a 'regular one' with Chainaxe and chainsword...


Plus the squad's comms officer/musician!


I hope you likey!

Thanks for looking and for your C&C. 

Cheers

[Viridia]

After a long period of hobby downtime, it's always a pleasure to come back and see what you've got up Augustus. Absolutely smashing these Berzerkers out of the park!

[Augustus b'Raass]

Brass Scorpion Finished!! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That's it. That's all I have. I hope it wasn't too dissapointing. Thanks for looking. I appreciate your C&C - comments especially - they're what keeps this thread going after all

Cheers

OH man, that's just amazing. You're models are stupendous, as always. 

[Chaplain Raeven]

Man, that's a beautifull beastie. The WE-scheme fits perfectly!

[Xin Ceithan]

The original WE scheme on the Scorpion is quite unexpected but it does indeed looks absolutely ace!

And I love the Berxerker Bards to bits every time I see one of those :) 

[YannTheMad]

@ Augustus b'Raass : Been following you for quite some time honestly, but i'm not big on comments. Thanks a lot for the hints

 

So 

 

I'm usually not a big fan of the pre-heresy World Eater color scheme BUT

 

It is absolutely awesome on the brass scorpion. It gives it a nice,  unique look (never seen any with the original WE colors really), while still been a terrfying beast of metal and murderous intents.

 

Love it.

 

Period

[War of the Eagle]

The brass scorpion is everything I wish modern chaos demon engions aspired to be. The World eater crisp white and blue is always a excellent contrast for the lethality and splashes of gore the army tends to take with them. You did an amazing job here, props to you.

[ChazSexington]

Gorgeous! Almost quote-replied so people would have to scroll past twice :) 

[DuskRaider]

Impressive... most impressive..

 

Not really sure how I feel about all of the decals on it, however. I think you could have used one of the larger Legion insignias and bisected it smack dab in the middle with some smaller ones like you have on the pedipalps. Overall it looks fantastic, though. Loving the base as well!

[Razblood]

Bloody hell fire you've been busy!

 

Had to go away for a while and the first thread I've caught up on is this one.

 

Beatifully brutal work on those World Eaters.

 

Congrats on the second nurgling, glad the surgery worked out well.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Cheers guys! 

Here's another fun Berzerker paint job.

It occured to me during the building of the MkIII squad of Berzerkers that it'd be interesting to have each squad repeat certain 'archetypes'. So the 'come at me bro'-posed guy with the shield was the first of the 'guy with shield' archetypes. Here's the 'guy with shield' in the MkV squad:
 

 

I hope you like him! Let me know in the comments below what you think of him. I aprpeciate your feedback.

Thanks for looking.

Cheers

@ RolandTHTG: Thank buddy! Out of curiosity, what do the letter THTG stand for in your name?
 

@ Chaplain grey Raven: Thank you! Yeah it's such a great scheme combined with chaotic gold trim.

 

@ Xin Ceithan: Yeah it's not something that's neccesarily in the lore but I just figured why wouldn't the World Eaters have made these very close to (but after) the Heresy? I imagine them fielding them against the Emperor's Children during the Skalathrax catastrophe. 

 

@ YannTheMad: Cheers! That's a great thing to say and yeah man - I'm trying to do everything in Heresy scheme since I did the Death Guard. In fact, I realized I've just been doing Heresy schemes since I got back into the hobby in 2010. Granted, Night Lords and Imperial Fists haven't changed their scheme since the Heresy, but still :D I'm also planning on a Sons of Horus schemed Black legion force. 

 

@ War of the Eagle: Thanks man, that's a cool point for sure. Also, welcome to the thread! I don't remember seeing you comment here, so... hi!

 

@ ChazSexington: YOU WOULDN'T! ;) 

 

@ DuskRaider: haha well you don't realize that these are among the largest decals on the sheet! I get what you're saying about the placement but where would you suggest to put a decal 'in the middle'? There's no space! Also.... pedipalps? Had to look that word up and thank, because I had no idea they were called that way :D

@ Razblood: I am honoured my thread is the first thing you check out! I have been a little busy, but it has been three months, so that's a lot of time to produce stuff. Remember the ETLs I aprticipated in? They're three months long and I consistently produced over 3k of miniatures in that time. So this is nothing compared to my pre-children output. ;) 

[BadgersinHills]

Looks great!

[RolandTHTG]

Augustus, it's short for The Headless Thompson Gunner, as my nom de guerre is a reference to the Warren Zevon song. 

 

That berzerker looks great, he's about to truck some poor victim off the face of the planet. 

[Gederas]

I seriously missed being able to go into this thread while at work for inspiration

New guys are looking great, and definitely giving me inspiration for my own World Eaters. Though, I'll probably stick to the classic red+brass though.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Hurray! The B&C is back! It looks great, and I can definitely see the improvements. I do miss the 'my content' page though - where you could instantly see the threads you commented on in chronological order of most recent update. At least, I can't find it. Also, I need to seriously update my siggy, because BOY that's a mess!

In any case, here's the final two members of the MkV squad; the 'musician' and the icon bearer.

 

 

I hope you like them! As you can see, I've slightly updated the icon bearer to have more skulls hanging from the icon itself, which is a massive improvement of the whole ensemble, wouldn't you agree?

I have not been idle during B&C's downtime. 

Anyone remember the Oompa Loompah song? Now combine that thought with the comcept of Khornate Cultists.... 

Cheers

@ BadgersinHills: Thanks bud!

@ RolandTHTG: Ah, that explains a lot! Cheers bud, I will check that out. 

@ Gederas:  Aw, thanks bud! Classic Red 'n Brass looks so hot right now too. It's still a contentious decision in my head to go pre-heresy.  

[DuskRaider]

I meant more bisecting (or even quartering) the World Eater icon on the middle armor panels on the back or something. Not really sure, it would definitely take some careful knife work. That's the thing that always annoyed me with the Brass Scorpion, it seems like there's a lot of flat space but in reality there's not too much to work with.

[ChazSexington]

Hey man! I'm assembling my Blood Angels Berzerkers now, and using your work as inspiration, I was wondering why you changed how you attach the skulls to the chain? More out of curiosity than anything :) 

Gonna greenstuff some Butcher's Nails and add skulls later!
