For quite some time, my Vikings had the old Gripping Beast metal berserkers in it. They are just really old and poor castings. I had a whole bunch of Warlord Games barbarians and the Gripping Beast plastic Viking parts fit on those models quite well.
As you can see, they make some cool looking lean fighting machines.
I've been really toying with the ideas of blood splatter in my pieces, so I did just that with this model. He got splattered big time, with the techniques that I use in splattering pen and ink drawings, essentially a loaded tooth brush.
The effect is just landed on the front side of the model.
This one below is probably the most boring of the group, but still better than the old metal models.
I really like this one below. I think he really looks pretty cool.
Be aware that the Warlord Games models are wee bit small for 28 mm when compared to say plastic Gripping Beast. With Victrix Gauls on the horizon of being released, if you want cooler looking berserkers, that will probably be the kit for you.
As always more to follow.....
Excellent! I love this mix with gallic bodies!
ReplyDeleteYea I think they work very well. thanks Michal

ReplyDeleteThanks Phil. They are much more motivating than the old metal ones.
DeleteReally nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Engel.
DeleteThe skin tones are brilliant. Still working up the nerve to try blood spatter effects on my minis.
ReplyDeleteReaper Master Series fleshtones. Each triad basically blends pretty good when you do 50/50 blend transitions between colors. The skin tones on these are 5 colors with 50/50 blends in between transitions. The blood splatter is a risk, you may want to hit the model with a spray on clear coat first, that way you can wipe off any bad stuff.
