Trysanna Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Those 'Zerkers are looking really cool. I'll mimic what others have said, the eye glow is a tad strong, but its not a deal breaker. Lovely guys, can't wait to see more. -Tarvick Edited January 19, 2015 by Tarvick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augustus b'Raass Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Wow these guys are popular! I finished two more of them, removed the eye glow of the first two and replaced the first's chaos warrior helmet with a 'real' World Eater helmet.  What do you think?  The champ. Dunno if he'll end up being the champion, as I prefer those to have a sharper weapon or harder punch than a regular chainaxe. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/World%20Eaters/Berzerker%203_zpsf8x7yp7t.jpg  'Zerker number four. I must say I would have prefered his left arm to be slightly higher, so that his axe would not obscure his face, but those weird zerker bunny ears blocked the axe.... http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/World%20Eaters/Berzerker%204_zpsuqsrgoqw.jpg.  'Zerker number one with the chaos warrior helmet replaced with a 'real' World Eater helmet http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/World%20Eaters/Berzerker%202_zpsyh8o5fat.jpg  Aaaand number two with the eye glow removed. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/World%20Eaters/Berzerker201_zpsxognvjhh.jpg  Replies!  @KrautScientist: Thanks man! And you are totally right about the glow. I liked the helmet (and you ARE critical - but that's what I asked for and appreciate - it's what makes me improve my hobbying), but indeed it lacked the WE vibe. I can't wait to put some of those awesome weapons, helmets and the banner on one of these guys?  @oldschoolsoviet: Thanks for the feedback mate. TOtally agreed. Fixed it.  @Anaziel: My thanks to you kind Sir!  @Brother Captain Kage: Lolz. I hate cats. But still. Lolz. Eyes fixed  @Flint13: I know about the mold line! That's why I explicitely wrote down "Dat mold line"  Oh well, too late...  @Tarvick: More are on the way! I find that doing two at a time keeps the motivation to do more up!  @Pearson73: Cheers mate! Posing is key imo, so I'm happy you wrote that  @Atia: Ha! You're the only one! I removed them. (To get back at you for making me like Sallies)  @TanHausen: Duuude! As a jab at your failure to send me a termie to put on my titan's base (after your vow during last year's ETL), I decorated the champ with a nice DA helmet.  @Biohazard: Great sounding music, mate!  deathspectersgt7, MrBear and Urauloth 3 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helterskelter Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Sweet kitbashery combined with excellent paint job! I quite like your champion model, think he should remain so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sockwithaticket Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Excellent 'zerkers. Given how poor the existing kit is you kind of need to make your own to get anything half decent. Using Mk. III armour as the basis for them was absolutely the right move, it has a heft to it that other marks don't and really lends itself to hulking melee specialists.

ElDuderino Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 (edited) Lovely, i think you've convinced me of finally getting some FW goodies! Â And those bunny ears are a curse, try getting the more elaborate ones to fit between the shoulderpads of a terminator:) Edited January 25, 2015 by ElDuderino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atia Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Â Â @Atia: Ha! You're the only one! I removed them. (To get back at you for making me like Sallies) hehe :P they are still awesome :)Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wicced Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 atia is not alone mate, i loved the eye glow, maybe because i use a red version on my own night lords  and even without the glow, i still really like your zerkers, very nice mix of parts and great posing, my favourite detail is the chained skull on the tabard of the horned guy :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrautScientist Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Excellent work on those models! The champion certainly looks the part -- the pose alone is enough to sell him as a total badass! Â I like the reduced glow as well! I do have to say that I feel the guy with the Skullcrusher helmet would profit from a controlled application of brown wash on his facemask, though, in order to make the recesses darker again and bring back the definition -- I am insufferable, I know ;) Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustus b'Raass Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 @forte: Cheers mate. You do realize I'm aiming for the mark of khorne, yes?  @helterskelter: Thanks HS, I don't aim to change the guy, just meant gamewise he'll prolly be just another berzerker.  @sockwithaticket: The berzerker kit is about 15 years old now, so no wonder we're tired of 'm. Back in those days though, they where state of the art. For that reason alone I love to still use them for parts. And your comment about the MkIII is exactly the reason I'm using those legs. I see berzerkers as hulking brutes, and the hefty armour really nails that image. @ElDuderino: Yes! More FW Goodness. Although mind you, parts alone don't automatically get you cool mini's. I pay particulate attention to pose. If I may be so bold as to give advice: mimic the pose your aiming for in the mirror and try to convey that in your model (this works especially for contemptors - I've seen some almost ridiculous poses out there and it really helps to make them more believable). About your terminator pads vs khorne bunny ears comment, I'm not sure what you mean! Tell me more! :D  @Atia: Thanks Atia. At least Wicced backed you up. When will you start work on Vulcan???  @Wicced: That chained skull is something I've wanted to do for a long time and I can finally pull it off now that I have 28LPI brass chain available. So I'm happy you like it!  @KrautScientist: Dude, you're not insufferable. I really appreciate all the feedback you're giving me. The truth is, I forgot to rewash the facemask so your comment about the wash is totally on point. The fact that you cought that even though the pics where (admittedly) of less-than-perfect quality only goes to show you have a keen eye. Wow. :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother-Chaplain Kage Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 After a decade+ of seeing those awful Berzerker plastics, these go a long way toward making up for that travesty to Khorne.

Atia Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Â Â @Atia: Thanks Atia. At least Wicced backed you up.

Flint13 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Freakin' sweet! Â Gosh those Berzerkers are good looking. I think the introspective one with a single horn is my favorite. It looks almost like he had a shocking moment of clarity in the middle of a slaughter and had to stop to ponder on it before the nails took him again.

Daemon2027 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Oh man those are some nice bezerkers. No matter how old a kit is (I still like the berzerker kit personally) when in the hads of a skilled painter you will never tell the difference.

Augustus b'Raass Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Jeez, these dudes are popular! Thanks everyone!  I invested in a new spot for my lightbox and in some backgrounds to take pictures from. They're A2 copies of these awesome backgrounds from MASSIVE VOODOO, that forte once pointed me to. Thanks forte ;)  I've fixed my phone camera to a cheap tripod from aliexpress and did some fiddling with the settings, et voila:  http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/2015-01-27%2017.14.12_zpsmyj4qv93.jpg  Replies!  @Brother Chaplain Kage: Dude, that's a very humbling compliment which I will accept on the condition that you acknowledge that I'm definitely NOT the only person here who kitbashes and converts great Khornate miniatures. Thank you though, I'm thankful that you're such a regular visitor and commenter: they make me go!  @Atia: Good to hear you're doing the reaver for the ETL. It'll give you HH lovers a chance against us Chaos followers. ;) And yes, that is a crux terminatus and I accept that heretek comment as a compliment. I bow to you, mylady.  @Midnight Runner: Cheers mate!  @Flint13: Haha perhaps he has such a moment. Perhaps he had a dejavu or something. After having just killed an entire family, he'd be like: "didn't I kill that guy before?"  @The Hydra: Yes! Come to the grimdark side!

KrautScientist Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 What an awesome squat -- consider me green with envy, mate! ;) As I've said earlier, the champ really looks the part -- I'm with Flint about that subtly contemplative quality the model has. Oh, and I totally forgot mentioning that I think you really nailed it with the rock and gravel around the Marine helmet: It makes for a much more natural looking pose! Â Now on to the next models! Quickly, I am already pressing Refresh at regular intervals from sheer anticipation! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trysanna Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) Damn Agustus, those 'Zerkers are looking mighty impressive. The champion looks great, and toning down the osl was a good move.

Augustus b'Raass Posted January 27, 2015 Author Share Posted January 27, 2015 Thanks guys! I'm really enjoying my new photo setup - so I made some individual pics of the two new Berzerkers I painted up tonight.  Berzerker 5. This guy's legs are repositioned MkIII running legs (right leg forward ). I want more of these! http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/World%20Eaters/Berzerker%205_zpsvtt3jhut.jpg  Berzerker 6 - the icon bearer. THANKS FOR THE BANNER KRAUTSCIENTIST :tu: :tu: http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/World%20Eaters/Berzerker%206_zpsax0d8sin.jpg  Aaand the whole squad up to now. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d185/mkruijff/World%20Eaters/WP_20150127_023_zpsjuq2jqyq.jpg  Replies:  @KrautScientist: 'Green' with jealousy? Kraut, your spat with the putrid blightkings where one thing, but do we need to worry about something? ;) Thanks again for the awesome banner - I really appreciated it. Also, the rock-for-stability-tip was your idea, so thanks for that too :d  @Tarvick: Thanks! Well, what do you think?

Forté Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 A2! Wow. I only use A4 (good though eh).  Now you really have a flair for World Eaters. Think you need at least another two, or ten. And a Lord to go with them. Transport maybe too. Augustus b'Raass 1 Back to top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flint13 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I hope there are exactly two more, or the Axewolf will be mightily displeased :D  That banner is crazy good looking. You really outdid yourself with that one!  Is all the tiny text freehanded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
