The Gorehound is looking great. I like the turbolaser, and I see you have been fiddling with the saw as well. Excellent!

One thing it might benefit from are some shouder armour plates of some description. Also, some spikes on the top could help.

After all, there is NO SUCH THING as too many spikes.

And as always a scale pic

Hey, Biohazard! I'm glad you could find those volcano cannons, they make for a convincing turbolaser

Adding the weapon arms does raise a new concern: the Gorehound looks a bit thin in the shoulders with the turbolaser tucked up there. What about building the shoulders out a bit, like on the bloodstalker? On the other hand, you don't notice it so much on the CCW arm, so maybe another solution is to lengthen the upper arm section for the turbolaser.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks guys, I'm still not sure about the chainsaw. And Squig, don't worry mate the spiky bits will come. I'm just wanting to get the main structures sorted first

That work is all hench matey

Keep it up!!

Thanks buddy,

Some of you may remember my Venerable Dread for the Star Phantoms 'Valerius the Elder'


Well.................I got bored with him and left him on the shelf for a long time so Ive decided to make another WE Dread.

Meet the early work in progress of 'Voorhees the Relentless'



His legs will be reposed into a mirror of 'Krueger' and Ive still to decide on a weapon for him, he will be my Dakka dread. Im thinking of making another heavy bolter arm like I had on the early works of Krueger and maybe a multi melta as well. The symbol on his shoulder is a very quick rough attempt at the WE badge. Im going to have another crack at that when Im less tired.

As always any feedback is appreciated.


Oh I should mention Squad Krixus is paint in progress, nothing much to show yet though.

A quick pic in better light with the skull faceplate.

Looks good! For his weapons, how about a Twin Linked Autocannon? I don't know what other options Chaos Dreadnoughts have in this edition beyond the normal weapons, so if there are any others do tell me.

Aha, cosmic order has been re-established, then

He's looking good, buddy! I especially love what you've done with the resin skulls! Personally, I'd probably go for the other head (not the skull mask) in order to make him more of an individual and less of a complete twin to Krueger. Plus the other mask would also work rather nicely with the Voorhees name Maybe you could even add some haphazard blood spatters across the mask...

As for the weapons, I can only recommend starting with the different weapon options that come with the Venerable Dread and moving on from there. In my opinion, you should make full use of the flexibility that the kit offers and keep the weapons exchangeable instead of committing to a single equipment choice. The Plasma Cannon and Lascannon work great with some extra bitz, while a Heavy Bolter, Autocannon (more range than a Multimelta, and quite enough oomph to punch through those pesky Dark Eldar vehicles' armour, btw ) or even additional CC weapon should be easy enough to convert. See my own Dread for reference, perhaps. Actually, I am feeling kind of guilty, since your original Heavy Bolter is now part of my collection...

Anyway, great work, as always!

Thanks buddy, thing is I really like the other mask on my 2nd Helbrute and only have one of each lol. If i do use the visor mask ill have to work on it a little as its a little long and in my opinion throws the proportions of the torso out a little. I have bits to make another heavy bolter don't worry about that.

The lascannons have likewise been used on the 2nd Helbrute. I have some Devastator las cannons that I could probably botch together to look pretty good. I have ideas to make a Multi melts as well.

All the walkers I have at the moment, there will be another added real soon though.

I would use the different mask on the second Dreadnought, the non-skull one. It sets him apart a bit.

I'd have said you should keep the mask a non skull plate. It looks easier to make into a certain hockey mask esque look, which would fit his name very nicely. A machete wouldn't go amiss either!

Thanks guys I will be going with the non skull faceplate when I eventually get back to Voorhees.

Today I painted up the base for the Blood Stalker (Defiler), not a huge or really noteworthy update but Im quite pleased with how it came out. I do still have to take some black around the edge to tidy it.

Last night I was having a look through my Liber Chaotica and came across the section on Blood Spawn and thought to myself 'Im doing this'
Nothing too impressive but Im happy enough with them pre greenstuff. I also have a PIP of the objective marker I made a couple of weeks ago.






Size comp with a Termi.


The objective marker.

Wow! Just wow!

I already suspected that those big mutant...things would make for excellent chaos spawn! Thanks for proving my point!
Seriously, though, great job, buddy! Those bases are looking absolutely ace too!

Those are really really cool!

Those bloodspawn look amazing. Love the size of them. I like your objective marker too. Simple but so effective.

Thanks for the replies guys, I should add the dude with the blutack on his face will have some kind of facemask/armourplate added. I really wasnt keen on the fatface the model has.

Well done man. You keep tugging at the dark part of my heart dedicated to chaos.
Must... Keep... Following... Greater... Good...

Ha! Thanks man, Im sure if you asked my patron god he would have a faster way for you to follow the greater good. All you have to do is sign your soul over and maybe decapitate a few folk. No biggy

BloodSpawn = *AWESOME *

Khorne demands some paint on those guys!

Wow, thanks Meade.

I have to admit I didnt expect such a positive reaction to the spwan for what is essentially a very simple conversion.

Thanks though everyone whos commented. Im snowed with work this week so wont get any paint on them yet. Stil need to decide on a colourscheme for them anyway.

Simple conversion but effective, still a awesome addition to an army. The gorehound robots are more impressive, guess i just got to the thread a bit late

I love this thread It's inspired me to do my chaos marines. Keep up the good work

Dont take that the wrong way Meade I am glad they are getting such a positive response. Just surprised lol. Thanks for dropping by.

Nashbashem, (awesome screenname) Thanks buddy and Im glad I can inspire you. Thats what this thread is all about, giving other people some ideas just as I have gained so many ideas from other logs.

Well it's pretty much sold me on grabbing those models to do a conversion to some kind of dark mechanicus experimental mutants. That along with the rat ogres from Isle of Blood. Which I would also use as spawn.

Funny you should mention the IoB rat ogres. I've been looking at some of those to boost this to a unit of 4. I think with a simple head swap they could fit in perfectly.

Yeah just cut off the head, and maybe the tails. maybe a third arm or something to make them a bit more chaos, if you like that flavor. In fact they are a lot cheaper than getting those warshrine figs atm... nothing on ebay I could find aside from getting the actual model... 50 bucks no thanks. I'd rather pay 10 bucks for 2 rat ogres .

Yeah I bought the full kit and although there are a few nice bits in the kit I was a little underwhelmed. I had thought the braziers on the back had interchangeable icons for each of the gods but they are all one piece with no way of changing the icons out. The plates with the daemon faces are nice though as is the totem.

Yeah. Seems like something that's good to get if you're going to be doing some chaos terrain such as a portal, I'm just going to wait until the bits sellers chop it up though. But I pressed the launch button on those rat ogres!

One thing I think would look cool is a gigantic but emaciated and hunched over spawn, carrying a huge cannon thing, a bit like the grenade launcher large mutants from Rage. Perhaps give them some armour made from wrecked vehicles?
