From DallasE - Khorne Berzerkers! (55 points)

Well isn't this a surprise. A planned project is unceremoniously shouldered aside for an insane new project!

So it goes, as they say... I've had ten unpainted second-hand Khorne Berzerkers (the old style multi-part plastic models from 1999) in a Plano case for years (over 10?) and on a whim decided "wouldn't these be fun to paint?" and it was on...

Several eBay purchases later I've got a pile of unpainted metal old-school metal models (and more plastic Berzerkers) for the army, and these are the first painted Berzerkers.

Of course I had to do a bit of repair and conversion (I wanted each model to have a bolt pistol and either a chainsword or chain-axe) but I think they've turned out OK. The paint formula is as follows: basecoat Khorne Red, overbrush Mephiston Red, wash with Vallejo Red Wash, paint metal bits Leadbelcher, wash the whole model with Nuln Oil, paint the brass bits Brass Scorpion highlighted Retributor Gold, wash the brass bits with Agrax Earthshade, that's pretty much it.

Groundwork starts Dark Brown, then Steel Legion Drab, then Rakarth Flesh drybrush.

Of course Kharn sneaks in a photobomb... he doesn't count because someone else did the basic painting on him, I just touched him up and redid the groundwork.

There's more yet to come on this project of course... but for now it's eleven 28mm-ish models for 55 points.

Cheers,

Dallas
 

Finding old figures in the stash, scouring the web for more and putting planned projects aside.  Nope I've got no memory of doing that sort of thing at all!  Anyway I'm glad that you did go down that rabbit hole as these are fantastic.  Love the red, and looking forward to to more of these plus what you originally had planned!
