YES!

So as to avoid the same pitfall ... what primer did you use that screwed up on you?

Apologies if you've already named and shamed.

The Zerks look terrifying, btw (in a good sense).

Actually, me too... When I get enough money, I'm buying 2 squads of these bad boys, along with a Dreadnought and Zhufor the Impaler (all from FW)

Haven't decided on Pre, of Post heresy colour scheme yet though.

Slugga - you may be interested in the pic below then...

Definitely - but EVEN MORE expensive (just in case you thought it wasn't possible!)

Can't say for certain - the accursed primer has been disposed of. But it was a small tin of cheap nasty stuff I'd never heard of before - sticking with Vallejo now - it's tried and trusted.

That model is amazing! can't wait to see the rest.

I'd better sign off and go and get on with them then! About to start highlighting the first one.

yes please

Ok my friends - the time has come, here is the first of my Bezerkers. Generally I'm quite pleased with him, although I'm still unsure if the 'glow' around the eyes really works:

That mini looks awesome! The glow is perfect. Understated, and not too powerfull. It doesn't pull your eye from the fine job you did on the rest of the mini. I had not visited your blog in a while and did not realize your close-call with disaster. I'm glad it all came out OK. Can't wait to see the rest!

Nice work on the chaos guys monkeyh!

I think the glow around the eyes turned out just right. Sinister, and not unnecessarily exaggerated.

I love the red, and gold colours, and the glow is not bad either.

Although, you could have made the front side of the backpack (the side facing the back of the torso) more colourful. I see some wires there, that you should paint gold too.

If the others are going to be as good as this, then I don't think I can survive the awesomeness

Thanks for all your kind comments - and slugga - prepare for more awesomeness! (although you've probably got a few days before the next one is ready!)

Also, this time take a picture of the World being eaten (AKA the logo).


Mustn't... start... World Eater... army...

While I cannot compete with the quality of your work, im tempted to show off my thousand sons theme...

Dont just talk about it poda_t, do it! Would love to see them.

Monkey. What are you doing online?
You should paint your miniatures

Jokes aside, do you have any transportation for the Khornate marines?

Land Raider with FW tracks and World Eater Doors at the ready! When I say at the ready - I mean it's still in kit form, but it's 'ready' for me to start building. In fact two. Yes - another Land Raider ready for the next squad I'm planning - just got to get more doors and tracks for that - and got to get the FW conversion kit for the Bezerkers - I just hope my wife doesn't find out how much I've been spending recently (Mind you - she is about to buy a new car so I think I can justify it )

Holy mother! Those are SO detailed. I want some now. I despise the plastic berserkers

They look fantastic! Great work

As you are probably all aware, Gitsplitta is doing a excellent thread on his Mantis Warriors. In said thread, BLACKHAND posted a picture of these samurai bits. What do you think about my next squad of Bezerkers having a Samurai theme? Also I like these big swords. (Apologies - I don't know how you put in text then pictures, then more text and pictures)

They're mine.... mine, mine, mine!!! Stay back!!

(makes sign of the cross with fingers)

Hissssss.....

Available on e-bay - I'm sure there'll be plenty to share between us! (A good find - the Kromlech stuff is really nice - a friend who is building an Ork army will probably be very interested in some of their stuff)

I agree completely. Eventually you're likely to see a variety of their products appearing in my armies.

If I do go down the samurai route, does anybody know where I can get some 28mm scale samurai style swords?

Paulson Games Katanas

They have other sized Japanese swords as well.

Cheers Gitsplitta - they look the business!

They do!

Just finished another two Bezerkers. Here are the pics:

They looks AWESOME!

Nice work. Man your red is just sweet!

Very nicely done! really like the poses, there's nothing I like more than a good dynamic pose on a marine! wish i had the patience to do that to my models! I think you nailed the right amount of glow from the lenses too and the double head chainaxe..... brilliant!
