That berserker dreadnought is amazing!

Love that dread awsome job

:O WOW. That Berzerker screams "win" in so many ways! Loving every bit of it!

Bezerker dread should be named Ragnarok the Eternal Slaughterer. He's mighty impressive

Awesome paint job! Can't wait to see more! (Can't believe you were asking me for tips!)

Don't put yourself down - I think your painting is truly great. Really nice and clean. And thanks a lot!

So you're now down with "Cereal Killer" ?

Actually "Ragnarok" is a great name. I'll take it!


Thanks a lot you guys - I really appreciate the response - keep it coming!

I just ordered A LOT of chaos marine stuff - I'm getting really inspired by this project. I can't wait to get my hands on the berzerkers, terminators and especially the possessed. Oh, and the deamon prince, and...

I've got a few berzerker and terminator parts lying around, which I'm starting to convert. A few teasers - there'll be juggernaut cavalry, and jump packed berzerkers.

Wow, wonderful work, simply amazing

awesome looking stuff, I really like the Term Lord. I may have to steal the idea for the head for the next one I do for my wife.

Hahaha, your wife collects Khorne? That's awesome!

I'm busy converting a couple of Khorne Terminator at the moment, just taking a break. The first juggernaut cavalry is done, and I'll probably get a couple of pics up tomorrow morning, when I can use the natural light for photos. I think I've come up with a pretty cool solution for the terminator helmets, but I'll let you guys be the judges tomorrow.


Automatically Appended Next Post:
I've done a few more.

The juggernaut cavalry; wow, space marines are hard to repose into riders! He'll get a better head soon - I've just used some bits I had lying around, I've ordered a battleforce, and a lot of other stuff, including the FW berzerker kit, and lord zhufor, so I'm just waiting for them to show up.






A winged berzerker - using tyranid gargoyle wings. I'm not completely happy with him, so I'll propably redo him with a worn jumppack instead.




A berzerker with chain glaive - using a grey knight glaive. I'm not really into unhelmeted heads, but this was what I had lying around. New head coming soon.




A charging berzerker:




Khorne terminator - I just got a box of the plastic terminators, and the models just aren't as good as a lot of the rest of the range. The detail (especially the rims) suffers a lot from the casting. I've got a lot of the old metal terminators, but they just look too small, compared to the plastics, so I'll have to make them work. I think the details can be saved by careful painting.
The head is, as you can see, from grey knight terminators. I pondered a bit between these and paladin heads, but I think the sharp edges of the GK terminator heads work really well. I did a bit of chopping and reposing:



I wanted him to have a reaper autocannon, but I think the reaper look suck - it looks too thin, and not like a proper CANNON. I took a gun from the plastic ork bikers sprue, cut it up a bit to make it fit, and made a bajonet from an old plastic orc sword, and added an ammo belt; much better:




The exalted terminator champ - I wanted him to have a really badass chain axe, so I chopped up some ork chainswords, combined it with a sorcerer staff, and did a LOT of reposing and chopping. The plastic terminators are difficult to repose, but I think I got it to work:

Looks awesome!!! What head is on the Termie Lord?? looks amazing!

Dude i like how you roll I am working on a Dreadnought conversion myself

EPIC! These look amazing! The drednought especially looks kickass.

Not really, just likes the general spikey chaos aesthetic, so I make her some now and then. SHes even put together and painted a couple herself. She also wants some Bloodletters.

Those are looking truly badass. The terminators specially. Why does one have both a big chain axe and a lightning claw, though? Is that possible?

Saintspirit: To be honest, I don't really care too much about what is allowed - I just want to models to look really cool and inspiring. If I'm going to play, I'll either play with friends that will allow those options, or proxy them.

I've gotten my hands on a deamon prince, and wanted to try out an idea - to carry on the theme of roundsaw themed weapons, and juggernaut heads. I used the legs from the nurgle deamon prince, since I wanted more of a gigantic space marine power armour look, and glued them together. I think it's okay, but would have liked a bit more of a dynamic pose - the arms arent really very poseable though. Perhaps I'll redo him, but for now:






I also got started on a box of possessed:






Aspiring champion perhaps?




I also got the terminator squad finished. THAT was hard work. The terminator just plain suck, regarding poseability - they're very static, which is not what I had in my for berzerker terminators. They took a long time to convert into cool poses, with tricky drilling, pinning and cutting stuff up, to have CC weapons in both hands - I've used various bits, including GK and SW terminator parts. I'm pretty happy with the outcome, though - Excuse the lack of helmets, but I've ran out of berzerker parts, and am still waiting for them.














As you can see, I've gotten hold of a bunch of the micro art studios bases, and decided to have my whole warband based on these - I think they look great, give more possibilities for dynamic poses (running uphill, downhill, standing on a cliff, etc) and I really like the weight they add. They are a bitch to get the miniature mounted on, though - that resin stuff is hard!

Also, I've decided that every single model in the warband should be converted, in some way - this is the dogma.


Let me hear what you think - I really appreciate any and all response.

Btw: Next up - Forgeworld berzerkers, more jugger cavalry, a Lord Zhufor (helmeted option, which is just about the coolest chaos helmet ever), and more possessed.

This... is what I call a real obedience to Khorne, sir !
Well done !

Excellent work in here. Thanks for sharing. The attention to detail and (especially) the use of the juggernought heads leads to fantastic results.

I agree that the current terminator models are a bit static. I guess its supposed to make them look slow and ponderous, but that doesn't really mesh well with the idea that they are massively powered and don't particularly slow the marine down much. You really need to chop the legs up pretty badly to rebuild them in a dynamic way. In my experience that leads to madness and green stuff

I like the daemon prince, The hand and head looks like he is saying "come and get some, you cowardly curs, I will kill all of you and feast on your flesh" or something, or swearing, are you sure he wasn't an angry marine that got a bit too angry.

That dread is utterly AWESOME. And the rest is top as well.
Your conversions are inspiring!

I love the Dog heads and the roundsaws. For some reason those go together. At first I thought the legs on your dread too short but when you painted it it came together. Needs more chains and spikes! I would try getting more little spikes and fixing them to those dog heads, and buying some of those little chains they use for jewellery, and put them all over the place. Especially on that Daemon Prince he could be more pimped out. Also I don't think that capes or drapery work too well with this theme you might want to avoid those.

Looking very nice. And I can understand that berzerker terms wouldn't care much about petty bolters when there's chainaxes around... Guess they can thow them at the enemy to represent guns?

Oh right, I like the daemon prince really much. Just don't overdo it with juggernaut heads.

Thanks a lot guys!

Meade: I like chains, and would like to use a lot more of them, but I'm not really into using real jewelry chains - I think they are a pain in the butt to glue and paint. Any good sources for plastic chains, preferably with skulls, etc.?

This afternoon I was about to assemble a couple of possessed, but I found a spare pair of terminator legs, and I wondered what to do with them - so I got the idea to make an Obliterator! I hate the GW ones, so I wanted to get a bit away from that. I was looking through my bitz box, and couldn't really decide on which arms I would use... So I got the idea to make him six limbed, with four arms.

Here he is:



The flail arm is from an ancient khorne blood slaughterer I painted when I was 11 or 12 - don't worry, I'll strip it before painting. I have no idea where the rest of the model is. He is basically made up from spare bits and bobs, cut to fit, and glued together, to make him as imposing as possible. I don't know if I'm in love with the head - should it be demonic, machinelike or khornate? Any suggestions are welcome as usual.

Edit: He isn't completely done - still needs some greenstuffing, and perhaps a few more bits.

I like that - and I'd say you should keep the head - but yes, it needs some green stuff to fill the joints and the like.

MOAR GUNZ NEEDED

I'm luvin' that saw arm. I'm going to steal it for my next dread.

Your a conversion superstar!

Some of the best khorne conversions I've seen. Also the only one to use GK parts! Everything looks awesome

Thanks a lot guys!

I've looked a bit more at it, and googled some obliterator conversions, and it just doesn't seem bulky enough. I could green stuff it, but I'm afraid it'll just seem like a giant blob with weapons sticking out... Hmmm... I'll have to think about it.

Unfortunately I've run out of CSM and berzerker parts (I just used the bits I had in my bits box so far), so I can't really get any further on the heads for the terminators, jugger riders or any more berzerkers till they arrive, hopefully thursday.

Anyway, I've started a Kharn conversion very much based on this one:

http://www.the-vanus-temple.com/?p=715

I've got the body together, I'm just needing the head and chain axe.

Any tips on where to get plastic chains?

Well Guita, I would send you my extra plastic chains because I don't want them, if you want to trade PM if you want (I'm working on a large chaos force and I have a pile of extra bits like that I dont want)? Honestly though I don't see how you would have a problem with the jewellery chains. Maybe I don't have as much experience but it shouldn't be difficult as long as you use super glue and drill a hole where the chain goes. Also for painting them, you can get different colored ones or black/gunmetal/dark brass colored that essentially don't need painting if you shop around, or if not then your coat of primer should adhere to metal as well... I don't see why it would be hard and there is no substitute for real, bigass chains! I always like to use the real item rather than facsimile if I can.

I'm working on some obliterators too check out this guy: he would make a good khornate obliterator with some tweaking, more chains and skulls of course.

Can i say one thing? AWESOME...

I think you are the type who like to "kit bash" right, im like that too... My table is full of converted and kitbashed models that i never paint lol...

Are those grey knights helmets:0
