I have been looking through your stuff quite a few times already by now and am very pleased to see that there is still new stuff coming from you. I have to say that your models are one of the main reasons my first army is going to be Khorne Deamonkin now, even after originally starting out with a few converted Nurgle models (anything but Chaos would not work, as I too love to convert the models ). I absolutely love the look of your Angron model and although a bit late I'm deeply in love with your converted Cataphractii!

Can't wait to see Angron finished and painted on his base, keep up the good work!

Thats pretty cool.

the spine on his back makes it look like he has the black carapace.

always love seeing these conversions.

Cheers, guys!

@ Pneumo: That is very nice of you to say, mate! Thanks a lot! In other news, Khorne is pleased by your decision!


So with the ongoing nice weather, I decided that today was a great day to troop out my entire 40k chaos collection and take some new photos that I would like to share with you. Here goes:

So, first up, here's an army picture of Khorne's Eternal Hunt. This is what the army looked like earlier today:



The most noticeable addition to the army is the towering form of Gilgamesh, my converted Chaos Knight, now finally marching to war alongside the 4th assault company’s coterie of Daemon Engines:



Another part of the army that I am still tremendously happy with is the Master of the Hunt, Lord Captain Lorimar, surrounded by his Terminator bodyguard, Lorimar’s Fist. Take a look:









And there are many other parts of the army that make me happy whenever I look at them. For instance, this was just a happy accident, but I really love the way my true scale Khârn seems to get psyched-up for battle in the following picture:



I didn’t even stop with the World Eaters, but took photos of my entire 40k Chaos collection while I was at it! Next in line was my small detachment of Traitor Guard, known as “Urash’s Marauders”:



Now this certainly isn’t a big army by any stretch of the imagination. But then again, it’s a rather sizeable collection when you consider the fact that these guys were mainly built on a whim, back when there weren’t even any proper rules for using Traitor Guard (beyond the Vraksian Renegade rules put out by Forgeworld, that is). Anyway, the Marauders can provide some support to the 4th assault company when needed, plus most of the models can do double duty as cultists in a CSM army.



I’ll really have to return to these guys at some point: Looking at them again makes me realise how happy I am with my chaotic Tempestus Scions:



I still have an unpainted icon bearer for this squad — maybe I should paint him next? Anyway, it’s a fun little army project that can complement my World Eaters but can also work on its own — at least from a visual perspective

But there’s more: Over the years, I have dipped my toes into several smaller chaotic warbands and sub-factions, and each of them could be expanded into a stand-alone warband or detachment at some point.

For instance, here are my Blood Wolves, created to fill the role of Chaos Space Marines with the Mark of Khorne in my World Eaters army:



Joras Turnpelt and his damned brethren surely warrant some more attention — in fact, I have quite a few models already built for a whole squad of Blood Wolves. Ahh, so much unpainted plastic, and so little time (and, let’s face it, even less discipline).

There’s a squad of Plague Marines big enough to actually use in games, if the 4th assault company should ever require their scrofulous assistance:



Let’s not forget Warsmith Greimolt Sturm of the Iron Warriors and his first two soldiers, either. Iron Within, Iron Without!



Once again, these are merely the first models for a small kill team of Iron Warriors that will definitely be finished one of these days! Scout’s honour!

Back in 2012, when the then-brand-new Codex CSM was released, I celebrated the occasion by building and painting one Astartes for each of the four cult legions, and I am still pretty happy with the models. Take a look:



I tried to capture the visual quintessence of each of the four legions aligned with a major chaos power, and I am still pretty pleased with the outcome. From left to right: Malchius Blight of the Death Guard, Gades Elphenor of the Emperor’s Children, Suresh Asp of the Thousand Sons and Targon Kel of the World Eaters.

When these were posted on my blog, each of the models was actually accompanied by a little...well, poem sounds pretty pompous, but they were little poems. Let me share them inside the spoiler tags, for those of you who are interested:



Oh, and last -but very definitely not least – is PDH’s wonderful version of Lord Zhufor the Impaler, given to me as a fantastic gift a while ago:





So yeah, that’s the painted part of my 40k chaos collection. I just love chaos in all of its colours (especially in red, though), and I actually see the many projects I have already started – or partially finished – as great little or small hobby endeavours to get back to whenever I feel like it. Anyway, so much for my collection. I hope you’ve enjoyed these latest pictures and I would love to hear any feedback you might have! As always, let me know what you think!

Lovely collection you got there, I really like the Guard especially. The Gilgamesh really dominates the picture too, yet isn't overpowering the other models. Great show.

Great cohesive collection..

Your Chaos stuff is pretty awesome! Always a great feeling when you've gotten so many models done and looked at all of them together, isn't it?

Amazing group shots, really inspiring.

EDC

Just when you think that there is no way this plog could get any cooler

That is absolutely stunning to see them all at once, KrautScientist! I'm looking forward to the next twisted model(s) you post on here.

Really fantastic KS. Awesome seeing all these stunning pieces you've been working on together as a whole. Top shelf stuff KS - congrats on an amazing body of work

Thanks a lot, guys! Seeing all of these assembled like that really does make me rather proud of the collection, to be honest. I am very glad you like them as well, though

I've recently been going back through your thread from the very beginning (again ) and it's incredible to see all the work you've done over the last few year amount to such an impressive collection! And think of the grey and WIP miniatures waiting to be added to the collection

A spectacle to truly be proud of!

I found your Angron conversion to be quite inspiring so.... I'm "borrowing" the idea of using the slaughter priest for a primarch or significantly larger than average marine conversion.

And of course, you'll be listed as a source and whatnot

Gorgeous looking army, thanks for sharing the group shots !

Wow. This is a fantastic blog! I discovered it a few months ago and I've been going through all eighty-one pages since. Finally reached the end, taken notes on stuff that is inspiring me, and look forward to trying some of these ideas on my Word Bearers

Mind blowing. The whole lot of them. Everyone unique, but still fitting together into a cohesive, chaotic whole.

Amazing collection!

Thanks a lot for the kind words, everyone! I am really proud of this army, for fairly obvious reasons, and it makes me really happy to hear that you guys like the collection as well!

You should be proud. This blog has been tremendous inspiration for many people on here; myself included.

Hey, just wanted to add my 2 cents! I just found your blog the other week and I'm enjoying going through your archives and seeing the Hunt grow! There's so much creativity with the lore and characterization in each of your models that I can't help but be inspired. I've never been a Khorne fan, but your take of the fallen noble warriors fighting to retain their minds and cohesion has made me see the followers of the Blood God in a whole new light. The Traitor Army is fantastic as well and the Knight... holy cow!

Everything is so cohesive without being too matchy and the conversions (and the INQ28 stuff!) has just blown me away. It's really inspired me to start back in on my CSM guys and push my comfort zone to follow in your very big footsteps!

Keep it up, all of it!

Fantastic paint jobs on the CSMs

Cheers, guys!

@ Erikonil: Whoa, mate, that is an incredible compliment right there! Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it!

Hey everyone, here's a small update: I's been quite a while since I last painted a new model for my World Eaters, so to ease myself back into the flow of things, I decided to paint something quick and fun to get a taste for all that red again

Back when Age of Sigmar was released, I instantly felt that the huge icon of Khorne carried by that Bloodsecrator of Khorne (what a briliiantly imbecilic name, btw) was far too huge for any infantry model, but would work for a Knight or Titan -- well, I went back and used it to built an optional back banner for Gilgamesh, which I am currently painting. Take a look:



Possibly my favourite part is how the icon slots neatly into that hole in the middle of the top carapace, due to the foot I built using a bit from an old plastic model truck kit (I am getting quite a bit of mileage out of those leftovers, come to think of it). So I can add the banner or take it off again at will -- maybe it could even work as some kind of extra equipment?! Or maybe "Gil" (*teehee*) just puts it on whenever he wants to feel extra Khornate?

Anyway, I've put on the highlights earlier tonight -- maybe I'll get around to taking a better picture tomorrow.

Very creative idea, I'd never have thought of that

So when he’s feeling Khorny, a banner pops up? I think you might be straying a little too close to one of the other gods there...

(Sorry, couldn’t help myself)

Looking very cool. Banner looks right at home up there, Good scale and matching details.

Cheers, guys!

Huh. I was thinking more along the lines of Sacristans mounting the icon before special battles or something, but I cannot be held accountable for your dirty imagination, of course

Anyway, here are some pictures of Gilgamesh with the finished banner. The weather isn't great today, so the lighting in the pictures isn't ideal, but you'll still be able to make out the details, I believe:









As always, let me know what you think!

Absolutely stunning! Seeing all of those individual groupshots was just fantastic. You have quite the collection and should be very proud!

I hate chaos but love this thread! all the sneaky conversions and good paint makes your army something to be proud of!

i'll be pleased if my army has half as much character as yours

I'm quite surprised this banner fits so well (I imagined it would look smaller next to a knight), but it does feel right at home on this guy's back.
And on another note, I love how the SM helmet on the trophy poles is from your Inq28 Chapter of the Golden Legion. Nice touch there

Thanks for the very kind words, guys! I am really happy to hear it!

@ Legio Ultra: Mate, I cannot tell you how happy I am that somebody picked up on this! Excellent!

In other news, I am currently working on the first model for my vow for the ETL V event over at The Bolter & Chainsword, a converted counts as Skulltaker I already posted on this thread a wile ago. Anyway, here's the paintjob as it looks right now:















As always, let me know what you think!

Looking great as always, but I still can't get the sound of music out of my head when I see him

I really like your swords. Are they just two colours of blue?
