Yeah I think a lot of models from the Age of Sigmar Blades of Khorne range are excellent to use for 40K aswell. Offcourse this is allready the case for the Daemons but having some AoS Bloodbound guys in there never looks odd. All I think that ideally is done is to have at least some Space Marine legs on them and a backpack. 

The cool thing with the Bloodsecrator is that you can buy him together with a Khorne Lord aswell which forms a great base to create a Chaos Lord or Exalted Champion (plus a flesh hound to boot!).

Then there are also rumours about Khorgoraths showing up with a new kit. Though they have been around for a long while now.

I did not know that model existed until just now, I think I need it...

the lord model is insane, the only thing is the base size is 60mm , may need a 32mm refit

've been cruising through this thread - it's pretty inspirational - and, since the discussion is currently looking at how the AoS parts fit for 40k, I thought this might be a good excuse to share some of some stuff I'm working on.

 

With the advent of the Battalion detachment and CP combined with the fact that Berzerkers have gone from a liability to an asset in the latest edition, I'm working on adding another unit to my army. I decided I didn't want to do another set of the antique Berzerkers or the slightly more up to date but generic CSM, so I opted for some of the AoS Blood Warriors. This certainly isn't unique and it's primarily been swapping arms or weapons - I'm not sure about everyone else, but I figured if I was going to the hassle of building a unit, I ought to configure them to carry chain axe/chain sword to maximize the benefit of Blood for the Blood God.

 

Here's the unit - it's nearly done with assembly except for cleaning the mold lines and filling gaps for backpacks.

The main work in these has been to try to turn the boots into greaves with green stuff - I'm not great at producing smooth surfaces, so it's been a good challenge

 

Here's a close up of the Champion, which shows how compatible the 40k wargear is with the AoS bodies - basically, the 40k models have a flat joint at the shoulder and the AoS ones are concave, so there's a bit of a gap to deal with.

The parts also work pretty well the other way - here's one of the AoS heads spliced onto one of the DV chosen to make an additional chain sword/power fist champion

Let me know what you think. I know this may not be everyone's cup of tea since it diverges from power armor a bit but I kind of like how barbaric they look.

Variety is a good thing. Not my favorite aesthetic to use personally, but is inarguably badass. Let all the variations of the servants of the blood god go forth and slaughter! Edited by Juggernut

Hey so new to Chaos and thinking about going full Khorne. For beserkers, what is better - chainsword and chainaxe?  Or, one of them and a pistol? I am mostly a competitive player if that helps answer the question.

General Consensus is going dual CCW Is not worth losing out on the shooting attacks. I would put at least 2 plasma pistols in the squad... and from there equip them half with chainswords half with chainaxes.

Thanks for the quick response brother. Much appreciated!

I'd rather skip the pistols, myself. I see their utility, but I'd rather go whole hog for close combat. Maybe if there's a transport on the verge of death and a couple of overcharged plasma pistols could take it down and allow the unit to charge the occupants, I could see how that would work out.

I wouldn't dream of not giving my zerkers at least 3 Plasma pistols. Perfect for taking out Terminators, and lower armoured vehicles/walkers. Not only that but that's almost a guaranteed 3 dead enemy every shooting phase that they are in range. Also am I right that you can shoot while in combat?

Personally go for the Chainsword and Chainaxe. It depends on your complete lists. In many if not all cases the Pistol costs is better spend elsewhere. Though in general it doesn't matter too much, just make sure your Champion has a Power Fist.

You can shoot while in combat with your target for sure! If you have the points for those Pistols most certainly put them on there! As for thaking out Terminators and/or Walkers the Champion with fist is still doing much more though more Pistols is never a bad plan ;) .

The more killing the better. Blood for the Blood God.

I see no reason to take bolt pistols on Berzerkers- why ditch 2 S5 attacks for 1 S4 attack? Plasma pistols on the other hand, could certainly make an argument for it.

True statement and fair enough for the power fists... However, since the Champion can only take one he's gonna have to take a pistol of some sort! :wink:

 

If anyone wanted to take a few guys in the squad with dual chainswords I guess I don't see a problem with that but I do agree with those that are of the opinion more plasma pistols the better. I ask that you consider since 'Zerkers get to attack twice we are going to be cranking out more than enough wounds as it is... Especially is they are rolling in the same combat as Khârn or an Exalted Champion..

It is a tough call really ... maybe do some practise games to see how your meta best plays with the bez (just dont glue the arms on). Personally I have gone for 7 chainaxe w/ BP 2 chainaxe w/ PP and champ with PP and PF. 

 

I think the next squad will be chainsword variant with dual LC on the champ ... cos i run out of chainaxes haha 

 

p.s - dont tell a GW store manager the Bez kit is outdated and crap, think i got close to getting booted out the store haha

The ShapeWays chainaxes arrived today. Overall, I think they're pretty :censored: awesome. 9-9.5/10. My only gripe is that I wish the hafts were a little longer and the teeth shaped more like the GW 'zerker chainaxes, but they're still brutal.

Gonna paint that loyalist chainsword as ripped from a dead Ultramarine's hands.

Hmm definitely considering picking some of those up...like you said they seem a bit awkwardly short, especially since it has the hand gripping it so high up on the haft, otherwise a smaller axe sort of makes sense in the context of it being an off-hand weapom paired with a chainsword...

loving that pose Jugger, might do something similar with my next lot of bez, but itll be chainsword and bp. The chainaxes look good, I agree with your gripes though, I prefer the teeth on the gw ones

 

I wish GW did a bits store, they would make a mint out of people like us
