I've got this Forgeworld World Eater conversion set and I'm making a squad of Bezerkers. I've built the squad leader with a 'power fist' which I've used from the Possessed set but I'm not sure if it looks right. What do you think? - comments please. If any one is interested, I can post more pics as I build & paint them.

looking good cant wait to see that painted!

Looks fine to me! And we always want more pics!

Cheers guys, I'll post more pics as I build stuff. It's going to take me a while to complete these, but I'll try and stick with it until they're done (I've got several half finished projects I need to complete - I'll make sure this doesn't become another!)

heres hoping!

So here are a few pics of the next two Bezerkers I've built - only 7 more to go! As each one is taking me a couple of hours - I should hopefully be done building about this time next week.

Awsome bezerkers, may they spill plenty of blood when they are on the gaming table,
blood for the blood god, an whatnot

Yeah, these guys look great. I may even steal your concepts on the off-chance I ever get my own Berserkers done...

I can't take credit for the one with the chain glaive, I got that idea from the examples in the 40K rule book. I did another like this that I painted for the space marine conclave that Smurfwedge is currently running, so if you want to see one already painted there are pics there (I think it may also be in my gallery). I've built another but I need better light to photograph it - will post pics soon.

Love the berserker's you have some really nice stances there, I'm currently building two units of them at the moment myself.

Wow, this will be an army worth taking to a tournament and showing off if the conversion quality stays like this.

Thanks for the praise guys. I include photos of the next two. Five done - five to go! I'm now thinking if they look good I may treat them to a land raider with FW bits (yes them not me - it's a bit like when you buy a new Amp or DVD player and you have to tell your missus "I didn't buy it for me! It's for the house!"). Anyway, enough of me lamenting about what I can't really afford - here are the pics:

Love the double headed axe. Where did the head for it come from?

Im on a iphone and cant really see if its converted from two heads or not.

Excellent! They are all, but especially the last two are very brutal looking! very nice! I have been looking at those FW conversions, but limited money has forced me to convert most of my army from old 2nd ed. minis. And my Zerkers are just the standard plastic models. But yours have got me salivating over them, and I may have to find the money somehow! Great job, keep it up!

Love these models. More!

Cheers Stevey, and yes, it's just two chain axes cobbled together into one. And now for my latest offering. I must admit I'm quite pleased how this one turned out. Used possessed legs with a bit of green stuff to fill in some of the details so the model didn't look too out of place compared to the others. I must admit, whilst I like the CSM models, GW could do with producing some more arms and legs in more dynamic poses. I don't like the ones that come with the standard Bezerkers where they are running - they just don't look right. Anyway, here we are:

Hope you like.

a note on your double-headed chain-axe: YOINK!

As for combining posessed with berzerkers: I have done this across the board wit hall of my berzerkers. I dont see how the slide into khornate insanty wouldn't be accompanied by khornate mutations and strength boosters.

Here are my latest offerings. Used up the last two pairs of possessed legs I had. Only two more to build - aim to complete them sometime this weekend.

Thrusting pose: that is frakking sexy. That is real nice

Seconded

These guys are amazing!
Lets hope that your painting is as good or better than your awesome modelling

Thanks for your comments. Here's the latest. Chain-scythe anyone? It's not perfect but it looks better than the first version where the blade was longer than the marine was tall! I've never seen anything like this and I wanted something a bit different. One more to go!

You should use two chain swords back to back (Cut half of them and make them point in a triangle) or maybe axe+chainsword and some bone for the tip on the scythe.

Other than that, really cool stuff

All looking good! just need some paint now!

Im interested to see how the scythe turns out. Im going to guess you will be adding all the usual things: studs and an arrow along the blade

Hmmm, yes you're right, it does need a bit of something else. I'll see what I can do before I start painting. Should hopefully finish building the last one tonight then I can get cracking on the paint.

Here's the last one! Now to start painting.

The head of the ''mace'' is a bit crooked...
Also make it a chainmace

How about a group shot?

I'm not disagreeing with your comments, but for some reason this one took me ages to get the arms in the right position so I'm a bit reluctant to change anything on it although - chainmace, hmmm.......
