Haha foxes! This is my first time ever using em. They have sooo much pigment but are so thin are amazing through an airbrush unreal.

 

With new zerkers eventually coming out I don’t know if I want to keep the white world eaters or shift to red? I guess I’ll see how this test shceme goes

Have you given the models a clean in warm soapy water before painting?

 

I wash my models then spray with matte varnish before painting

 

Or is it the oils taking the acrylic paints off? I use Vallejo satin & gloss varnish.

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but I had to ask: Dantay, do you use the varnish as a primer, or do you apply a primer over it before starting the base coat?

Man it’s hard not turning all these into world eaters. This is a stunning kit!

Thank ya man girl! I’m actually using liquitex inks for the red and holy hell are they amazing. These are prbally the First black models I’ve been happy with. Now to start on real models!!

 

Me approves, Liquitex Inks are bae, I'm using them for my Khorne Daemons and Legio Mortis <3

 

How do you use the inks? Just paint them straight on?

Continuing to create some great models with the FW parts, it's good to see how well they fit in, is the new marine kit fairly customisable?

 

The Gal Vorbak mixed with Varanguard look very imposing, the weight and sense of motion in those sculpts is just spot on.

I've been having the exact same problem with my new chaos models. I keep wanting to build and paint them as World Eaters. Maybe if I hold out long enough, they will release some new berzerkers.

 

I'll probably cave and buy more World Eaters upgrades from forgeworld. Also its good to see the conversion world chainaxes being used. I'll have to pull the trigger on those as well.

Thanks mate!! The poses are not......at all its a real shame but with a good mix of arms heads and shoulderpads you can really do alot.

 

I love the Gal Vorbak...i cut a few up moved some things around and headed a few heads i like better.

I REALLY hope wie get WE within the next 12 months so i am just holding out for those....I dont need my custom MKIII ones, then these ones and then also whatever GW comes out with so this will be strictly BL.  The conversionworld chainaxes are a dream to work wight, highly reccomend. Can't wait to get some paint on these bad boys.

Great work as usual mate! Seems like you're always the first to try all these awesome conversions. The FW bits fit in much better with the details on these new models imo.

 

As for new berserkers, I don't think we've ever needed them less, there are so many kits which make for great conversion fodder. Not that I'd turn a new kit down if course:)

 

And I'm happy to report that your old recipe of blood warriors + mkIII = awesome seems to work pretty well with the new plastics instead of mkIII;)

Thanks Mate.....Kit bashing is easily my favorite part of the hobby.

 

While I agree we now have so many options to make zerkers.....seeing what they've done with this kit makes me want them even more.  Imagine this level of attention to detail but dedicated to WE's.   The amount of awesome skulls, chains proportionate bare arms....i mean i am honestly so excited now.

The kit badges and conversion on the recent lot is awesome. Need to control myself from buying the new plastics and the gal vorbak. However, you are making it tough!

 

Ive already ordered 5 more gal vorbak as well as Zardu and his blade slaves.  Im not a huge fan of going overly chaos with my WE so i am using this BL army to really go nuts. Im also not super into some of the galvorbak parts so ive really enjoyed kitbashing them!

More Gal Vorbak and Zardu with his boys?! I’m looking forward to seeing that! I had been super tempted to turn zardu into berzerker. Swap the staff for a hefty axe and have blood pouring out of those goblet things on his armor.

 

I definitely love your WE and your take on them. I did copy your berzerker builds and I copied one very specifically :). Your WE legionnaires keep bringing me back to the idea of making a WE force or kill team from right around or just after Skalathrax. They have that white red armor, or what’s left of it, and they are just giving into the nails.

 

As for the gal vorbak I love just about everything but the one with the flesh covered face. No eyes or features. It’s like they just sculpted over a previous attempt and left it. Believe me when I saw I’ll be taking notes of your kitbashes.

Nice! Oh boy, oh boy! I really need that new terminator kit and feel the need to hurt my wallet. Love the added use of WE bits. They work very well with the revamped aesthetic.

 

Also, if you get a chance, would you mind doing a scale shot of the new terminators next to primaris or your berzerkers? Would love to see them stacked up against some minis I would have in my collection.

These look great man, I'm glad to see the FW upgrades still work. What's your loadout?

I honestly get the feeling with some careful cutting, even the FW torsos could work, looking at the scale of the shoulder pads. They look like they're the same size as the new ones. Hmmm....

 

In any case, I love how your terminators came out. They look totally badass! :tu:

Thanks Mate i will be sure to post some tonight next to several different guys. Theyre pretty big.

Thanks man Ive had these upgrades lying around forever.  You have to cut the back of the FW heads quite a bit.  They made the area wher you put in the heads much more shallow.  My loadout is.....no IDEA haha ive honestly never used termies in 8th. Haha i just did what looks cool. Reccomend a load out. I don't play rules based on actual models...well not always.

Ummmmm i dont think so unfortunately.....I will post pics tonight.  The FW WE terminators torsos were kind of small even on the old kits and they look comical compared to these new ones

Damn, i thought that the terminators were something my wallet might escape... but these look great. The heads and the shoulders were the weak points on the new set, seems like you've taken care of that though:)

 

Honestly i did too but i really wanted to use my WE bits and now im getting 5 more.  It's so nice to have a terminator unit and that looks and feels hulking/intimidating.   And i agree im not sold on the heads they seem to lack alot more detail than the rest of the kit.

 

I have soooo many WE FW torsos i might just have to do a giant ebay dump ill never use them
