Even the running legs?

Well hopefully they'll make a new Berserker plastic kit along with Noise Marines and Thousand Sons.

pointy mc thrusterson has posessed legs, the rest look like reposes of the line-CSMs

Great looking models, keep up the great work look forward to updates.

You got it in one poda_t, they are a mixture of standard marine and possessed legs - the same will go for the next batch.

Thanks inquisitor13x - keep watch for LandRaiders coming next - then more Bezerkers - then Terminators with lightning claws!

PS - Battled today - Bezerkers slaughtered a whole squad or Orks in one turn! sadly the inevitable assault from eight Nobz resulted in their demise Good battle - even though I (narrowly) lost!

If anybody is still watching this thread apologies for the lack of posting but there's been a lack of progress. Still building land raiders - these take bloody ages to do! A few pics of WIP attached (sorry the pics are a bit rubbish). It took quite a while to paint all the internals (not that you can see much of them). All the FW tracks are preped, just got to finish getting the las cannon sponsons ready then I can start painting the externals. Magnetised the las cannon mounts so they can be easily removed (for when the inevitable 'weapon destroyed' result is rolled), assault ramps are fully functional and the heavy bolter sponsons and cupolas are removable. I estimate these will take another couple of weeks (wifes birthday this weekend so not much progress then) and then - more Bezerkers! Got the Samurai heads and back packs, just got to sort out weapons.

You're not getting off that easy monkeyh... we're still watching! Build looks really good!

If you want to make them even more Khornate, buy the Corpse Cart Fantasy Battle kit. You can make great decoration from it.

Hey! love the Bezerkers Monkeyh!!! The chain-scythe has caught my eye, how did you make the teeth for it?? looks really cool!

Thanks for the support Gits' slugga' and tipios. The chain scythe was made from a thin (about 20 micron/ half a mm) thick sheet of plastic bought for a few pence at a local model shop, just cut the shape of the blade and the teeth out with a sharp knife and stick another couple of bits cut to the shape of the blade on each side. Arrows cut from thin card from a box of energy bars and superglued in place, rivets made from my old favourite - the little beady bits from the inside of a Brita filter. Hope to post more pics of Land Raiders next week.

Oh, also if you want to make them demonically posessed, put plasticard inside them glued to the doors (maybe a bit too late for that), so when you open them, you can paint it like there is this type of Warp Maelstorm in it... I hope you got it

I see you discovered as I did the FW ramp doors are too narrow, I puttied the side frames out a bit the same way.

really?

how do the doors compare with rhinos then? I'm curious...

Cheers slugga but yes - too late - nice idea though and I do usually have them as demonically possessed - maybe when I do some more...

Yes the FW doors aren't a great fit, to be honest, for what they cost - I don't think I'll bother again - I'll just modify the ones that come with the kit with some chaos icons. I had to make one of the hinges longer as it didn't reach the lever mechanism to connect it to the lower door - a bit poor really.

Have got some rhinos and FW doors but haven't built the kits yet, I just hope they fit better than the land raider ones!

Well I've ground to a halt with the land raiders, they're all built (apart from the bits I'll glue in place after painting), but I need to find some time to spend getting them primed and base coated - hopefully later this week. In the meantime I've recommenced the building of Bezerkers. Now I've always thought the chaos chainswords were a little bit lacking in something that I just couldn't quite put my finger on - then it dawned on me - they're too small! - I mean, if you're gonna have a chainsword you want a ruddy great huge one like this guy, right?

LOL! Like him... like him a lot. Great pose.

Well I'm hoping to get some paint on the Land Raiders today - but in the meantime here's a couple more bezerkers including the first of my Forgeworld/Kromlech samurai bezerkers. I thought the swords I'd got hold of from Perry miniatures might be a bit small but overall I'm pleased with how the first of these has turned out. Need to get hold of some more arms and legs before I can complete this lot though.

Battled yesterday - forced a draw. Bezerker squad got obliterated by a demolisher cannon! Anyway - completed first land raider today! Yay! Generally I'm quite pleased with it. Got the week off - half term - Yay! So hopefully I'll get the other one done soon, then I can get on with more bezerkers (got all the bits I need now). Anyway - here are the pics:

Nice Land Raider!

Blood for the Blood God....

Lookin' sweet mon, like the crustiness around the base of the side armor. Lot's of spikey bitz too!

Cheers SBK and Gits. The second LR is slowly coming along. But in the meantime heres my second Samurai Bezerker:

Didn't get as much done this week as anticipated - mainly 'cause I've spent most of the week in various stages of inebriation (beer festival at the pub ) Anyway - finished the other Land Raider today and built the squad leader for the Samurai Bezerkers:

Nice! The Termies are lookin' great!

Really like the stances on them.

Beautiful job on the Raider and I love that berserker!

A few more bezerkers built. Many thanks to MissDee for supplying the chain blade attachments for the chain mace (Slugga - if you're still watching - this ones for you!):

Finally! Awesome job on the chainmace!

Very nice builds monkeyh... I think I've used that same katana with my Mantis Warriors. It's very understated for a 40k weapon, but it's very well proportioned and a much more realistic looking weapon than most. Good call.

Cheers Gits' and Slugga' - hope to get a few more built this weekend.

Just looked over this thread and I really like it, Subscribing..
