Berzerkers for MALAL!

Well, it is time for one of those fancy updates!

I had some time the other day so I thought to expand on my SoM Berzerker unit and made some new additions:





Then I had more time to sit down and paint them:
The recipe for white that I am using is still coming out nice and smooth. Follow by a little wash of badab black between the white armor plates and metal trim and some other parts to show texture. Then I decided to try some weathering by making mud/dirt on their feet and greaves. It isn't very visible on the black armored legs however. I am so-so happy with how they are coming out. I will need to do some more of this to add that "we've been in the field" look.



Then I got more adventurous and tried some paint chipping:
I am not too thrilled with it but I got a few positive responses to it. I took a blister pack piece of sponge, got some adeptus battlegrey and started the initial chipping. Then I painted a line under the marking with fortress grey.

I definitely want to practice  more on this because I do want to add wear and tear to the armor, especially for when it is a group of cannibalistic marines who worship a forbidden god.

And last but not least, one more addition was made to the force after my bout with painting:
I really like how he came out but I have three berzerkers with chainsword in their left hand and facing left. So I will need to be more creative with my next few builds, one of which will be a skull champion.

Recently I have also painted up some Vampire Count Skeletons which I will post on this blog once I snap some proper pictures.
