Berzerkers or World Eaters?

I finished listening to the Butchers Nails audio book and then watched the Avengers yesterday, so today I just want to assemble Berzerkers.

Step 1 - Research

Hit up Google for images of Berzerkers and than look at Codex Chaos Space Marines for artwork

Then look through my favorite book The Horus Heresy Collected Visions for ideas.

O and I listened to The Butchers Nails

Lets now look at chaos God Khorne

We know that Bronze or Brass is the metallic color of Khorne which means that Berzerkers trim will be Bronze or Brass.

Khornes motto is ``Blood for the Blood God and Skulls for the Skull Throne``

Which means that Berzerkers should have tons of skulls and trophies & trophy racks.

We also know that World Eaters are gladiators, so combat blades and close combat weapons are there friends.

Step 2 - Your Image or Idea

Your Idea or image of Berzerkers are they World Eater Berzerkers or Chaos Space Marine Berzerkers from some other chapters.

Now that I have an idea lets see what we will be working with.

So open up your Berzerker Box and what do you see World Eaters or Chaos Space Marines that turned to Khorne?

I see Chaos Space Marines that turned Khorne.

When I first saw this box I was like Yes Berzerkers! and now that I have 20 more Im like Ber..zerk...ers?

Spoilers form Butchers Nails

We know from the Butchers Nails that World Eaters have there weapons chained to their wrists and that the Imperial Fists that fought alongside the World Eaters also chained there weapons and that they formed the Black Templars.

Step 4 - The choice

World Eater Berzerkers or CSM Berzerkers?

Codex Chaos Space Marines pg. 36 shows Berzerkers with Chaos Space Marines heads

Are your Berzerkers wearing armour from different Space Marine Chapters due to heavy damage or no time for proper repairs?

(there are a ton of other ideas that im not covering or even considering)

Step 5 - Build your Idea into reality

Berzerkers (Chaos Space Marine) 

try not to give each Berzerker the same weapon. (the same Chainaxes and that bolt pistols)

I dislike the Berzerker heads in the box so I use the Chaos Space Marine heads

Berzerker heads (cut off the Khorne parts)

I also think that if you use the Chaos Space Marines bits it will help your Berzerkers look less static.

World Eaters (Pre-Heresy- Hersey Era)

World Eaters artwork is very white and without armour decoration

World Eaters are one of the last Legions to change there color scheme,  if I remember correctly

Black Templar arms

Tactical Space Marine legs and some torsos (Assault Marine running legs and the torsos may also work)

Berzerker torsos will work also if you shave off the Khorne Icons (Chains)

I use Space Wolves heads

Forge Worlds power armour Mark IV, V, VI  looks good too.

When painting don't forget the blood splatter

Some modeling/ conversions options that I use:

shooting two bolt pistols

2 CCW

throwing a grenade

holding head of dead enemy

combat blades

eldar or other swords

converted Chainaxes

praising Khorne

Are you still here?

Get building I know I am
