Crazy Dave from No Turtles Allowed here. Back at the release of the 6th Edition Chaos Codex, I was jazzed up to redo my World Eaters army.
I first became a convert to Chaos back in 3rd edition. This was back with the original Chaos Codex release in 3rd. Before any Chapter Approved articles or any FAQ’s. Like most teenage boys, Chaos had the angst and look that proved irresistible.
Back then, we had the awesome plastic Khorne Berzerker set. That set was the Bee’s Knees back in early 3rd. My army of 12 years ago was made entirely of those models.
Sadly, GW has done nothing to improve or resculpt them since. Sure, we have the Forge World Conversion Kit, but for a gamer like myself, I do not like using conversion kits that are readily available to everyone. Therefore, I set about to make my Khorne Berzerkers out of the new Dark Vengeance Chosen models, along with various other bits.
The project have set myself upon, can be done either as cheap or in my case on the more expensive side. It all depends on which bits you choose to use. If you choose to use the heads and arms from the current Berzerker models, you can keep the cost of the conversions very cheap.
