It’s Valentine’s Day, and during a little bit of downtime between holiday outings, I figured it would be proper to put down some red paint onto something. Fortunately, I had some Khorne Berzerkers primed and ready to go, so today kicks off the start of my second army painting project. I’m breaking the army down into small, manageable chunks, rather than trying to paint whole squads in one pass; I’ve done that before with units of a dozen Fire Warriors, and it nearly burned me out. For Berzerkers, since I run them in squads of 8, doing half-squads at a time seemed perfect.

Here, I have three normal Berzerkers, and a Skull Champion (he’s the chap with the power fist). They’ve been primed in Duplicolor Black primer – a fantastic primer, by the way, and reasonably priced – and a basecoat of Mechrite Red Foundation Paint has been applied. I’m going for an inside-to-outside paint job, so I’m going to get the base armor painted first before I start painting the brass details. Sadly, GW no longer has Brazen Brass available, but I think a combination of Dwarf Bronze with Shining Gold highlights should give me a similar effect.
