Modelling: Khorne Berzerker Helmet

[Brother Nihm]

Hello fellow hobbyists,

 

Before the B&C went down I was asked to do a tutorial on how I converted one of my marines.

 

This is my very first tutorial so bear with me. It's a simple one but if anything is unclear or can be improved upon, please let me know. :P

 

 

 

HOW TO DE-BUNNIFY KHORNE BERZERKER HELMETS:

Requirements:

-A hobby knife.

-A Steady hand.

-Decent lightning.

-Pliers/clippers.

I strongly recommend that you DO NOT cut towards yourself, but away from you instead. This makes it harder but it's also alot safer. :lol:

 

 

-Step 1-

A Berzerker helm and my tool of choice.

 

 

 

 

-Step 2-

Snip off the ears at a good angle so that you have room to work a bit, with the leftovers.

 

 

 

-Step 3-

Cut down the side of the helmet to clear excess plastic, slowly. The bottom bar indicates approximately where you should stop. (No dont cut into the finger! ;))

 

 

 

-Step 4-

Make your cut into the side of the helmet.

 

Different angle:

 

 

 

-Step 5-

Carefully scrape off excess plastic. Don't fret and rush this part because one mistake here, will either ruin the helmet or require a little GS work to fix. This step usually takes me 15-20 minutes.

End result:

 

Different angle (it's not cleaned up yet):

I believe it's possible to come up with all sorts of new helmet combinations and I hope you will find this little tutorial useful.

Thanks, I never thought of doing that. It looks really quite cool.

[Artimis Vergadin]

Gonna try that! thanks! :P

[Brother Renn]

I have done a similar thing with the 'zerker helmets as well. The skull faced one looks exceptionally cool if you take your time.

[Grey Knight]

I've done this, turns out great BTW, i encourage everyone to try it. good job on the instructions :wacko:

[CrashMann]

I have done this to some berzerker helmets as well.

 

It is indeed an easy thing to do and the results are great.

Nice! I shall be raiding the bits box for some bunny heads!

[ironloki]

Thanks Nihm. I always make a mess of when I chop my bunny ears off. Hopefully next time it will be cleaner and faster.

 

:D

[Capt. Hyperion]

hmm, nifty. ill bet this comes in handy for black templars conversions.

[Obliterator]

So, in a real Easter spirit you decided to chop of the bunny's ears, huh? :)

 

Very nice tutorial, Nihm :D ...

[Minipainters]

Great work! I really like those helmets - very original idea

[Daeothar]

Been there, done that; check my avatar... ^_^

 

Great tutorial Nihm; this will ensure even more variety in Spacemarine fashion this summer! B)

[Kajae]

I did this with my chaplain.

 

 

Actually about half of him is from the khorne berzerker sprue.

[VooDoo]

Good and simple.The helmet look likes Boba-s helmet from SW :rolleyes: :

[Grimdarkness]

Nice now what can you do with the bat eared night lords helmets ( :rolleyes: ) IMHO. Some of them are worth saveing.

The Berzerker T-visor helmets work excellent for Iron Warriors.
