Me being such a slow model/painter I've decided to just do one blog for all of my work. LBursley, Lemmingspawn and others are a huge inspiration, and I enjoy their "worktable" blogs. So this is my nod to their greatness, and my attempt to keep motivated by showing all of my work on a one thread.

So, to begin!

I was messing with some berzerkers, and began putting together a showpiece model. The idea was to show a 'zerk post battle, completely worn out and near death. I had also been wanting to incorporate a dead 'nid since I still have a bunch left over from my MaCragge set. As I neared the final stages, I decided that the 'zerk should be Kharne. I know it's not a typical pose for him at all, Kharne isn't really the type to take a break, but at the same time I thought it'd be cool to show the deadliest, craziest, most bloodthirsty psycho in the universe completely broken down, but still victorious.

Pay no mind to the wrong date stamp, I just noticed and am uber irritated about that.

**Stretch**

I like it! Maybe not quite Kharne, but nevertheless it still looks BA.

**Lint**

I know, he's missing his trademark "brass balls!" Any tips on what I can do to make him more recognizable?

If you could get either this head

or this head

it would work a lot better.

I'm pretty sure one of the sprues has the skull on chain for his "brass balls" you could probably green stuff them on. I do like where you're going with it though.

Also: I think it should be an impaled Loyalist instead of a nid :p

**Lint**

Hmm, I do like those models. I may have to pick up the juggernaut just for the awesome bits.

Right now I have a squad of chosen w/ flamers that I accidentally sprayed with GLOSS!!! instead of black primer. So after soaking them and watching them fall apart in the simple green, I've brushed most of the dreaded gloss off and am now putting the guys back together. Pics to follow later today...

**Lint**

Finally have some progress to report!

First up is my first finished Berzerker in his new paint scheme:

Here is the main paint scheme for the army on a Winged Lord with 2xlightning claws:

And here is a squad of flamer chosen I've converted from Whfb chaos beastmen:

So next I'll either finish painting the 'zerks, or the chosen. Depends if I feel like dealing with white or black primer, respectively.

**Frenzied Potato**

Well done with the neon green / purple possessed. Very crisp looking. Do you have a group photo of the possessed with the same scheme?

**Nightbringer's Chosen**

Great start. And I like the color scheme.

Though your winged lighting claw lord? He looks like he's either falling backwards or surprised by his hands. I feel like his posture could use a little adjustment.

**Lint**

@Nightbringer: I see what you mean about the winged lord, I was trying to make him more dynamic by showing him "leaning" into his wings like he was about to take off. I think I might elevate him a bit off the base, so it looks more like he really is flying.

Here are some more pics of troops, about 80-90% done. Just need to be based, and final highlights.

Terminator conversions:

And Possesed/Mutations:

You might tell that I am having alot of fun kitbashing from as many different sources as possible. My painting skills are catching up, but I feel I can't do justice to all of the hard work I put in the customization. You be the judge!

**Lint**

I've had to take a break from modeling due to my eldest being a toddler, and my youngest being a newborn. I've got my freaking hands full.
Anyway, a friend of mine gave me a bunch of his nid bits, and I started working on this DP. It's the body of a carnifex I believe. The fluff is that it's a beast that was captured during a conflict between my renegades.

**HaLLuCiNaTiOn**

Is that a cast Trygon? Or am I missing something...

**Bossasaurus**

Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Ph'tang! Ai! Ai!

**Lint**

Yeah, tentacles are kind of the extent of my green-fu. But the cthullu reference was semi-intentional

I'm also trying trying to incorporate as much cybernetics as I can, while also making the mechanical stuff look invasive as opposed to organic. More "forced on" and afterthought upgrades...
So far I've got the skull and brain looking like it's been lobotomized, and I want the whole creature to look like it's been sawed on by an insane captor, which is I think, the point.
