To round off the previous posting on painting Khorne Berzerkers in a rush, I thought I'd share with you the final squad as fielded in Grand Tournament 2007 (Australia).
I won't go over the painting style again, but I will note that the squad has a skull champion (who goes by the name of Dante Darkheart) equipped with a power fist, one member carries an icon (Khorne symbol from a chaos vehicle sprue atop a wooden pole), and two squad members are lead from the 1980's Realm of Chaos era.
To be honest, they didn't perform very well in GT2007. They were typically the first troop unit to get targeted and hence they didn't last long or get in to melee often. Not surprising given the lack of rhino transportation and their reputation for destroying other troop units in close combat!

Looking good, I like the name. Blood angels name for a blood god representation.
I hadn't realized the names connection to the Blood Angels - thanks for pointing that out.
Hey what are followers for. I watch your blog you watch mine.
I really like these guys, especially how much of a contrast they are with the green base, it really makes them fearsome looking. There's something about the Beserker models that appeals to me, and I think it's the way that they suggest 'hey, just wait there we will come to you to kill your squad'.
Nice work buddy!
thanks mate!
