Greetings once again brothers!

Well as I mentioned in my Daemon blog, I'm bringing you pics of my wip classic WE army! I've been somewhat distracted by my Daemons recently, but this army is still very much on the to do list so look out for updates in the very near future! But for now, enjoy everything I've done up to this point, and please do comment!

First up, Berzerker squad 1, the Hellblades:



Berzerker squad 2, the War Hounds:



Their buddies (also pictured above), Brothers Giger and Bosch, Chaos Dreadnoughts:



The War Hounds' ride, a heavily restored Land Raider (pictured right):



Khorne objectives:



And now, a bunch of wip pics... firstly, Berzerker squad 3, Crimson Death:



2nd heavily restored Land Raider:



Heavily restored Rhino:



That's all for now, although there is a LOT more to come for this army! Oh and more pics (wip and completed available on request). Once again, enjoy and please do comment!

Greetings brothers,

Well it has been quite some time, but I'm now back working on my beloved World Eaters!

Fist up, got a few more Berzerkers finished:



And also been working on a certain unstoppable badass to lead them (still WIP):



Also made some headway on the restored rhino to cruise around in (still VERY WIP):



Lastly, a little teaser... My forthcoming Abaddon in World Eaters colours:



Enjoy, and let me know what you think!

Lookin' good mate! I love the Old Berzerkers. They look so... Silly, almost? Very cartoon-y and comical.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Your reds are very smooth, but I hink your quickshade/wash is a bit heavy in areas because it is pooling over some of the surfaces on helmets and the backpack vents.

Lets see how your counts as Abbadon turns out.

A few more pics for your perusal... got the Rhino finished and varnished:



And just to remind you, this is what it looked like before:



Something of an improvement??

Also, I snapped a few pics of my WE and DG getting stomped by some BA at the weekend.....

Ah that's one of the great things about Khorne, whenever you lose you can say that at least you were playing to character!

Looked good on the tabletop as well, lovely job on the rhino and looking forward to more updates.

Really nice work on the oop berzerkers, those minis have so much going for them.
I also like your "flesh hound", he looks angry. Good luck painting him!

Love this thread! You and I are both working on a Vindicator at the same time! We'd make good allies you and I.

I always enjoy seeing old RT / 2nd Ed miniatures coming to life in the current editions. Subbed and will be back for more.

Wow.

I am really jealous of some of the models you have in there, and the painting is done so perfectly well. I really enjoy how you tie the entire force together even with the vastly different models.

Sorry it took me a while to get back here, thread got buried while I was gone a couple days. I think I have too many threads subbed. I'll make a point of checking this more often. Appreciate the effort for the extra pics.

Your comments are much appreciated brother!

Got a bit of a treat for you today... I've been busy finishing off my World Eaters! Finished the second LR, and took some pics of the whole force together. Check it out and let me know what you think:













I'm not gonna do much more to the army for a while I think. There's not much more I can do with the current codex, however there are whispers of a new codex on the horizon.....

Magnificent.

Those original chaos marines are great. I see some old names in there as well (lothar bubonicus...) and that World Eaters group shot with the old bloodthirster reminds me of the picture in Slaves to Darkness with them taking on the ultramarines.

Vintage and quality!

Stunning. You have an amazing collection of RT / 2nd Ed stuff that I love so much, with subtle conversions that make a lot of sense (such as using the empty cargo bin on the Land Raider for trophies, newer Lascannons on the LR, etc. I also noticed you cut the heads off some old models to put on your LR. Ouch. But the end result looks great!
