I've just got my Tellemon dreadnought this morning from the post and I'm a bit stuck.

Usually, when I convert models into chaos ones, I sit down with the model in front of me, my greenstuff to my right, my bitz box to my left and wait for inspiration. But this time I've drawn a blank. I then went to the internet for inspiration but it would seem that no one has corrupted a Tellemon yet.

So I turn to Dakka; any suggestions? The rest of my Custurds force is the usual combination of flames, spikes and horns, I want my Tellemon to fit into that but to also have something to differentiate himself.

Cheers.

Shine the crap out of him and make him iron warriors. All you need is hazard stripes

Throw us some pics of the rest of your force so maybe a few of us might get some inspiration where you're not..

These are a few of my models waiting for a lick of paint, including a Shield Captain, a Vexilla and some Guard.

I'm trying to keep the force recognizably Custodes rather than just count as Chaos.

'thirster head? Wings? Spiky spine?

I'm looking at a similar concept of doing "chaos" Custodes, I've got a large Alpha Legion-based Collection of all manner of things. I'd probably shave off the eagles, just personally, and find something else to add to those spaces, like skulls from B&S maybe. Of course, you could also even remove the little filigree and embellish with paintwork, there's a lot of nice open spaces on there if you remove eagles.
