Dirtying up Khorne Berserkers ?


Recommended Posts

   I am looking for ideas on making my Khorne Berzerkers look more worn, blood crusty, and well, dirty. All of the pictures that I've found on the net show neat, clean, polished brass looking paint jobs that is just not what I envision when I think of them. So does anyone happen to have ideas  on making my berserkers look more the part?

Hopeful this will help.

I started my own World Eater last year to take part in the Warhammer World Dark Zone campaign event. We where allowed extra units (up to 200pts) & one of the theme units was Khorne Berserker who had been cut off with no reinforcement or resupply for three years. Battle Orks over a ruin Imperial World on broke bastion & pile of skulls. Both side battle like Warrior of Old.

So I use a scalpel blade to cut off part of the armour. As well as replace some of the broken parts with Ork armour. The Khorne icon on the backpack just something I've always wanted to do since seen the AoS Wrathmonger kits. There other warband like the Wrath, Fallen Iron Warrior, etc.. just for the narrative I'm going for with my warband.

Painting wise - Just using Rhinox Brown, with rune fang steel. While adding bit of Forge World Soot weather powder depend the model.

For the Rhinos, I cut out the Khorne icon in sponge. That would get stamp onto the side door & the hull door on the Rhino. This would give the chip effect & it meant to look a bit thicker, it how I'd image World Eater painting there Icon onto the tanks. There not like, say Blood Angels.
Icon for the Banner was just getting the Khorne icon cut onto paper, tape that onto the banner & lightly spray the White undercoat & tidy up any over spill from the spray.

grimsanity: Nice splatter! I did toss around the idea of base coating them white, seal with hairspray, then recoat with red. After all that, take a wet brush and start removing the red in places where it would flake or wear off so the white will show through.

For wear on metal bits, Typhus Corrosion is my new secret weapon.

 

In the pot it's a nasty looking dark brown, looks a little like Agrax with about 3x the pigment in it.

 

I've found that you can vary the effect by how you apply it.

 

For just gross, almost falling apart metal use it at nearly full strength straight out of the pot. For a more subtle, worn look do a light drybrush with it instead.

 

I used it on pretty much all of the visible metal on my Raven Guard Leviathan and it came out looking like a machine that is incredibly ancient but has been maintained.

 

Go heavier on it if you want it to look like it's just been allowed to rot.
