Who has some good suggestions for Khorne Berzerker sculpts? I like the Forgeworld upgrade kit, but that would still leave me using the current theme legs and arms. While an improvement, the scale doesn't match up with the current game and neither does the detail. I'm inclined to work on other projects in the hopes that GW gives us new plastic berzerkers one day, but I'm afraid if I hold my breath waiting for that, I'm gonna die lol

Using Object Source Lighting

Pricey, but I think the Raptors have the best modular CSM bits in the range right now, which would certainly fit the Berserkers running at the enemy. Unfortunately, I think you need to go 3rd party for a plentitude of axes.
Other than that, I might look at the HH line if you're looking for brutal minimalism.

What about these?

Lots of people are using Blood Warriors, with pleasing results. I also think the FW bits above coupled with Horus Heresy legs would be pretty nice.

I'm using AoS Khorne Bloodreavers as my Berzerkers. They have swords and axes, which suits the perfect loadout of Chainsword and Chainaxe perfectly, plus the models are badass! Way better than those ancient plastic Berzerkers that GW is still pushing.

I just picked up some of those actually. I also got the FW chainaxes.
It was mentioned already but I went on a bitz site and sought out the Raptor bits. I'm really excited to receive everything and start kitbashing them. I think they will have a really awesome aesthetic when they are done. Also for backpacks, I had ordered a bunch of the DV Chosen that I'm never going to use, so I'll be using those.
Whenever I end up getting around to them, I'll be sure to post them up

Utilizing Careful Highlighting
|
I use the new AoS Khorne models as well. Stick some tubes and pipes on their back, put a pistol on their sides and they work fine. They match up in size to the new cult marines too.

I'll pipe up on AOS bloodwarriors as well. All they really need is a handswap and backpack and they're good to go. If you want more sci-fi, you can headswap and convert the leather boots pretty easily too.
Here's the starter set ones I hacked together. I'd use em if I didn't have beastman themed berserkers.

The bloodwarriors are great sculpts and combined with the forgeworld bits are probably gonna give the best result right now. They're still very much fantasy models even with 40k parts.
The horus heresy sculpts are too static for berzerkers in a full assault.
Assault marine legs are no better than the current berzerker legs. Well, maybe a little better.
Those evilcraft models are great, but more static than I would like. Also pretty pricy for 10 models.
Raptors are great kits, but they are very much floating and flying rather than running. I also just assembled 30 of them for a night lords army.
It really looks like I'll just wait until GW gives us new berzerlers and just keep using the old ones in the meantime. I have plenty of projects to keep me occupied anyway.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
