Messed up Chaos Bikers from Ebay

I bought these bikes some time ago on Ebay really cheap and whilst they had possibly the worst paintjob ever,  I thought that I could repaint them easily. But when they arrived, I saw a nasty surprise: they where glued together totally messed up, with really good plastic glue and no matter how hard I pulled, I could not disassemble them without ruining them. I tried repainting 1 of them thinking that when I buy the right tools, I could reassemble it more easily, but than i got an idea: what if I use the messed up assembly as a positive thing to model the bikes so they look more nurgle?
but here is a picture of the bikes:

And this is the repainted biker:

Ebay stuff

Last few weeks I have been trying to buy some stuff on Ebay, this is my loot:

Citadel Moonscape, bought for €5,70 (almost €10 cheaper)

Aegis defense line without the gun but with 2 extra short and long blast shields, bought for €8,50
(€11 cheaper), I also started to paint some of them.

Citadel Sand, Glade Grass and green stuff, bought together for €6,50 (€17,50 cheaper)

I almost got a Imperial Sector for €30,50 and 2 Bastions for €26,80 but at the last seconds I lost the auctions

New Citadel paint



From left to Right: Waywatcher Green Glaze, Lustrian Undergrowth Texture
Necron Compound Dry, Eshin Gray Pink Horror and Emperors Children Layer
these are the paints I bought last Tuesday, and I absolutely love them, I love the fact that they have pink paint again, and of all paints, I absolutely love the dry and texture paints the most. 


Here you see the shoulder pad of one of my Noise Marines with a layer Emperors Children on top of a layer Pink Horror (and yes I will repaint all my Noise Marines with this colors.)
Next to that is a test base I painted with the Lustrian Undergrowth. The texture paints mean that it will be a lot less messy when basing your models with glue and sand, you can easy make footprints or track prints in them, and it can be used to paint Plague Marines or make mud on tank tracks.

I also used the Necron Compound to drybrush some of the chains on my berzerkers and the Eshin Gray to paint the flex fittings of my normal Chaos Marines

berzerkers WIP



The plan for these Black Legion Berzerkers is black armor with golden rims and red/bronze on the shoulder pads and helmets.

First off I primed all of the zerkers, than I basecoated them with black (GW's black primer and chaos black aren't perfectly the same) the flex fittings will get a layer of Eshin Gray (new Citadel paints)
I paint the rims with Iyanden Darksun, followed by a coat of Shining Gold and highlights with Mithril Silver.
The gun's will be painted with Boltgun, than a Badab Black wash and highlights with Chainmail. Same goes for the chainswords/axes.

The red parts are basecoated with Mechrite Red, followed by a layer of Scab Red.
The bronze is just a layer of Dwarf Bronze.
The helmet of the skull champion is just layered with Bleached Bone, his teeth got a Gryphonne Sepia wash.
His power axe is painted Mithril Silver with a Lavatian Purple wash, I will add a power cable to his backpack later on.
