Ok, so I have actually been working on these guys since about September 2010. I had my army in boxes since 2000 or so, and I thought I would put them on Craigslist and see if I could get a few bucks for them. Only a few of them had even decent paint jobs, and most were unpainted, some weren't even assembled!. After a few weeks with no real bites, I set them all up on the table to at least get a picture of them all before I put them away again...

But the funny thing was...as soon as I got them out, and was getting them lined up for pics, I got the bug again! I couldn't stop thinking about them! So, I've been working on them since then, I don't have alot of time, with work and family, but I get some stuff done here and there. I have a couple of threads dedicated to my Daemons of Khorne, which I hope to also have a Chaos Daemons Army together at some point, but my original love for the game came and still comes from the World Eaters. I have a couple of projects I'm working on, one being a "counts as" Abaddon model that is coming along quite well I think...
Here is the original:

and Here is the latest...almost done with the conversion, just need a bit more Green Stuff on the arm joins and something on the back of the axe, and then I'll get started on the paint:

and a multi-shot of the interesting points:


I'm also working on an old school Chaos Lord (not sure when this guy came out), I only have a crappy pic of what he used to look like, I forgot to get some new ones before I threw him into the Simple Green, he's the one in the middle:

then after I re-posed him so he looks a little more dramatic, added some Green Stuff, I didn't like all the Eyes of Horus on him, so I GS'd over 2 of them, and added a custom World Eater Shoulder Pad:


I've got some paint on him now, I'll have to get some more pics soon.

Also, I've been working on one of my Heavy Weapons guys, I think his conversion came out pretty well:



And a conversion I have been working on...a Chaplain-tunred-Blood Priest (which would be a World Eater version of a Sorcerer with Warp Time):



I was going for large chunks of blood and gore dripping of his "Axe" , I hope it will look better when it's painted.

Well, let me know what you think, C&C welcome. Thank for looking.

Thought about maybe going for a bigger axe on the Abaddon model?!

Nice stuff so far, look forward to seeing more and of course some paint on these guys!

Well, I had a bigger axe for him, but it just looked silly!

And thanks!

I am working on the painting thing, I hate painting! I get so nervous that I will screw-up! Well, it shouldn't be too long before at least the OOP Lord has some pics, already started painting on him. Wish me luck!

OK! I did get some painting done last night! Woo! Now keep in mind this is still WIP, and I haven't done highlights yet...so with that in mind, here is my Old School Chaos Lord...




I'm not too thrilled with how the bones turned out, I might have to re-do that, but I'm happy with the shoulder pad.

C&C welcome!

Thanks

I think I'm about done with this guy. Apart from waiting for a 40mm base wich is supposedly in the mail!
I think I'm going to have to demote him from lord to Terminator Champion.


not sure if he really came out ok... but seeing as I only have about 12 paints that are not completely dried out, I think it'll do for now...
I'm thinking of waiting to paint my "Abaddon" model until I get an air compressor for my airbrush, and some newer paints. And get some practice in of course!
but until then, I have my berzerkers and heavy weapons to paint.

Any thoughts or tips would be welcome. Thanks for looking.

Just wanted to add this guy, I've had him for what seems like forever, and have never done anything with him.
He is listed on eBay if anyone is interested. (just click on photo, and follow the eBay link)
I wanted to paint him up, but my HQ slots are already taken in my Army List.


If he doesn't sell, I might paint him up for kicks, but we'll see.

Thanks for looking.

OK, so I guess I didn't post this picture when I started the OOP Terminator, it's a group shot with his buddies:

I have been working on the second Berzerker from the right, "guitar guy":
Here are some WIP shots, let me know how he looks!

OK, I finally am finished with my "Guitar Guy" Berzerker! I think I'll run him as a Skull Champion and say that his 2-handed Axe is a power weapon. But we'll see.

And I am also posting some of my older work...These were all painted around the year 2000.
So, the painting isn't the best, and the bases look like my 2 year old daughter did them...but anyway, here they are.
Terminators:

Some heavy Weapons:

Kharn and a Skull Champion:

I will eventually re-paint or at least touch-up these old models, and definately re-do the bases, but I'll let them go for now, and just concentrate on getting a playable army assembled, converted, and painted.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers! Jake.

Thanks! Just get some GS and work with it, it is pretty forgiving, and fun to work with! I recomend it completely! I was terrified the first time I tried it, but then I was like, "Hey! That's fun!" or something like that!

As a Post-Script to my last post...I just wanted to add that I recently got some Grey Stuff! It's sold under the name "ProCreate", and in my opinion is even easier to work with than Green Stuff.

Anyway, to the main purpose of a new post!

I have been working on some Obliterator conversions! I had 4 of the old metal Chaos Terminators left over after I put together my squad of 8, so I thought I'd make a few Oblits!
Here they are after some initial conversion:
(the Terminator in the background was intended to be there for scale reference, I should have put him along side of them...next time I guess)

I extended thier upper legs quite a bit, because since they were metal, I had to use a hacksaw on them instead of just being able to slice them off cleanly with a knife like plastic ones, so I lost a mm or so of leg to the hacksaw...

I had already done quite a bit to the last one on the right, didn't get a before shot. I call him #1, I am going for a Plasma cannon that is in the middle of forming,
and as you can see in the next pic, even the Plasma coils are not yet formed...at least that is the look I was going for.

Well, let me know what you think.

Thanks for looking!

Nope. How about doing one morphing from the pre heresy blue and white to the gore red?

That's Brilliant! And it will work with my fluff too! My Oblits are the Techmarines that were with the World Eaters before the heresy, and have stayed with this particular warband since then. Nice! Thanks for the idea! (I might even have a bit of Blue and white on all of them! I can't wait to paint them now!)

The Good Green wrote:That's a lot of cool GS work. I like the plasma gun. You pulled off the "still forming" look quite well!


Thank you!

And here are pics of the most recent progress:


#1 with all of the underlying frame-work done, just got to GS him up!


And Las Cannon guy. (He looks a bit scrawny, but I'll bulk him up. No worries.)


Multi-melta guy.


And this is *edit* Twin-linked Flamer guy, or will be when I get done converting a Terminator Combi-Flamer to a heavy flamer...and he'll have a big-ol' Deamonic hand when it's done. (maybe some barrels coming out of his palm...)

I just love all the detail on the OOP Terminators, from what I've seen the new plastic ones don't have the same detail. Of course that means more painting details...

Thanks for looking!

These oblits are great, the plasma gun forming is a totaly awesome idea, and you have sculpted it in pure chaos beauty.
