Brother Nihm Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 (edited) 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): -an example- Different angle: -painted version 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. -Brother Nihm Edited July 13, 2009 by The Angelus Sanctus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Renn Posted April 17, 2006 Share Posted April 17, 2006 I have done a similar thing with the 'zerker helmets as well. The skull faced one looks exceptionally cool if you take your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
