Hey everyone:

I'm fairly new to war-gaming and this is my first ever Dakka post. However, I've been redirected here countless times when googling 40k stuff and some of the creations you all post here are just INSANE! So, inspired by others, I figured I'd give it a go, too.

I started this army back in March though, I have to admit, I've only ever played 5-6 games of 40k! Anyway, I'll try to update with more pictures as time goes and, please, let me know what you all think. Keep in mind that I'm new at this and they are definitely not professional quality! But, I always appreciate constructive criticism.

First up, my Chaos Rhino. What's better than a giant squid monster bursting out the top, right?

That is foul.

Can't wait to see more!

Has 120% RDA of squidy goodness , I approve !

Very good work there !

Yep, that looks absolutely horrible.
Good work !

Does anyone know how to align the pictures to the left? Mine keep going center and I can't figure it out.
Thanks.

The Old Ones Approve...

(great work)!

Next up are some custom built Obliterators. I wanted to save some money by trying to make my own instead of dropping the $22 each for these bad boys! I used regular CSM bodies with some bits from the Rhino kits and a fair amount of Green Stuff. I also threw in some old action figure guns to bulk up the weapon-arms. I figured these are passable Obliterators; after all, they are hulking masses of flesh, armor, and guns!

Here are the Oblits all painted up.

Whenever I read converted/custom Obliterators I know there will be awesomely over-sized guns just down the page, and I wasn't disappointed.

They turned out very well. Keep it up.

I wanted to add some Zerkers to the army but I knew they needed to have their own customized Rhino to transport them. However, I've since plopped them into a Land Raider so this Rhino just ships around normal marines.

I tried to make a huge Khorne Idol on the top of the Rhino. The throne is inspired by the Iron Throne from the George R.R. Martin series (Game of Thrones on TV). I just hobbled together GW bits, Legos, action figure parts, and some plasticard.

Keep in mind, this was one of my first attempts at scratch building and using green stuff, so be kind! Let me know what you think!

Here's my first Khorne Berzerker.

This stuff is fantastic! I'm really diggin the Berserker Rhino. I'll be following this blog for sure. Keep the posts coming.

Some really great work there, wasn't sure about the Kornbe Rhino until I saw it painted up and it was just fantastic.

Keep up the good work Jeffy

great exucution of a great idea! I especialy LOVE the khorne Rhino its amazing!

Love the first possessed rhino! .. I may try to do something similar for my slaanesh army . That extra half inch might hide my princes XD (evil grin)

Thanks for all the comments and praise! I really appreciate it.

I'm a huge Lovecraft fan. That Rhino is pretty brilliant even if Night Lords purists might balk at the mutations, haha.

I had an idea to use some Lesser Demons as tarpits but never quite could get them figured out and placed in a good army build. Oh well. But at least I had fun making these guys.

The official GW demons just don't do it for me. They're neat, no doubt, but there's just something about them that doesn't suit me. So I shopped around and found these guys http://www.manticgames.com/Shop-Home/Kings-of-War/Undead/Core-Units-Zombies-and-Ghouls/Product/Undead-Zombie-Regiment-with-Command-30-Figures.html which seemed to be a great deal for so many minis.

Anyway, I tried to create a bunch of shambling zombies emerging from the Warp. Some of these are the plain zombie models while others have Chaos possessed bits to make them look deformed and more demon-like. Also, some bases have more demons emerging from the warp other than the standing model. I based the models with green stuff and it was my first attempt at source lighting, though it doesn't look that great because the bases themselves are so dark colored. Maybe I'll go back and lighten them up to make them more shiny. I've also since lined the bases with a black ring to make the purple "pop" a bit more.

Let me know what you think!

I started on a Land Raider. Same idea as the Rhino with a giant squid monster.

Great start, really nice GS work

My first HQ unit is a Chaos Sorcerer in Terminator Armor, though most of it is converted from the Chaos Lord kit. I used that kit to make two HQs (this and a dual lightning claw termie lord). Both of them have wings from the Chaos Possessed pack. Let me know what you think!
The Lord will be posted soon!

I love your monstrous squid possessions and the khorne idol!
What are the squid teeth made of?

If these are really your first attempts then I'm expecting to see some over-awesome work from you in the future!

Next up is a scratch built Chaos Dreadnought. It's made almost completely from old action figure and toy parts with a few GW bits thrown on to tie it in with the rest of the force. I also used a Daemon Prince head to make it look like a Daemon was piloting the Dreadnought from within the Sarcophagus.

There's still a lot of painting left to do but I was just too excited not to post!

Let me know what you think so far!

My squad of custom Plague Marines. I wanted to do something different than the typical bloated-zombie look. "Plague Marine" has a very chemical warfare sound to it, so I ran with that theme.

My first purchase was the Chaos Space Marine Battleforce. I tried to stretch it as much as possible, so I ended up cutting the legs of my marines in half to double their value, making 2 marines for every one supplied. To cover up the other leg, I made a robe that wrapped around the Marine's body. The Plague-containers on the back were made from a mechanical pencil and some green stuff. The gas masks are just green stuff as well.

Wow, never thought of extending a kit like that.

As usual your ideas are stunning, I just think you need a little more practice with greenstuff so that you sculpts do justice to your vision.

Those PlagueMarines are still pretty damn cool

Thanks, I really appreciate the compliment. You're absolutely right about my greenstuff work... though hopefully it will get better over time!

What are you using for sculpting, most work can be done with a scalpel blade but I have found having actual sculpting tools is a big help as well as rubber paint shapers/blenders, they will improve your cloth 100% I promise.

Wow! really nice work here, gives the army a really cool, unique look! Those plague marines are the coolest conversion I have seen in a long time, and plus a great way to extend a kit!

Keep up the good work

Progreen10

They look quite amazing. Keep it up!

I love it. These are some great models. Fantastic work!

Thanks again, guys.

Here are the Plague Marines all painted up. I was a little sick of painting Purple/Blue armor with Pink lightning (the army's normal scheme) so I went with a Green scale pattern for these guys. The robes themselves are pretty weak but overall I think they're a success.

Exalted.

This stuff is too good, love the LR with the massive mouth, might have to try that if I get one sometime...

Sorry, I know this is a likely a stupid question but does "exalted" have some specific meaning in regards to Dakka or was that just a compliment?

Either way, thanks!

Excellent work all around. More, please!

Here's the first progress pics for my Dual Lightning Claw Chaos Lord... he rolls with the Zerkers for some CC madness.

Just thought I would share a drawing I did a while back. Actually, drawing this got me in the mood to take up the 40k hobby!

Let me know what you think!

This is a great project and your greenstuff work is amazing.

Also, that illustration is badass.

Just some progress shots on basic troops and a few 'zerkers.

Those shots are kinda low quality, but from what I can see those guys look great. I especially like the dude with the power axe.

Great work on the artwork, and the army

Im loving the Khorne berzerkers! every single one is unique Nice work !

This army is looking great. Love the Plague Marines and Squid Monster Vehicles.

Thanks guys! I'll keep plugging away!

Some pretty interesting conversions here

Figured I would post an update to show that I haven't given up on my Chaos army! Here's a Landraider (possessed or not) which still has some painting left to do but overall, you get the idea.

Also, I've started a Steampunk Necron army you can check out here: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/479893.page

Whoa, this is fantastic. He looks haggard, callous and as though he wouldn't even think twice before murdering you with that chainblade. Unusual to see a CSM looking as old as that, I like it. Love the armour details too. Going to go check out that deviantart link now~

And with the new daemonic possession rules, those vehicles would definitely be WYSIWYG!

This army is awesome the ideas and all the imagery are very cool the conversions are awesome not too over the top which means it doesnt detract from the overall image personal favourite is the Khorne War altar awesome looking.... Maybe you could build a blight drone a eyeball on a metal cradle plenty of tentacles I also like how you utilise action figure parts I have looked at some of my spares and unwanted toys from my growing action figure collection and a while back built a Talos for my Dark Eldar army a menacing metal and flesh construct that was built from the inner frame of a Halo magnitised figure plus it ultilised a menacing axe its still WIP but it looks good.

This is a awesome army in the making and look forward to seeing more of it in the future

SUBBED!

Your army is looking excellent so far, the Land Raider is pure class.

Here are some close-ups on the Landraider. All that's left to do is a little bit of painting (the white lightning lines) and figuring out what to do with the two front side doors.

Lovely. Horrible. Both.

Since my unit of Berzerkers is just about complete, figured I would give you all a sneak peak of what's to come:

Here's the unit's Skull Champion, complete with Lightning Claw / Power Fist.

I feel like my painting skills are getting better each day!

Well, at last, I've finished the leader of my force: THE CTHULHU DAEMON PRINCE!

This is a heavily converted Daemon Prince model. The Space Marine puppet is supposed to resemble the Prince's Lash of Submission which allows the Prince to move enemy units. I think a puppet more closely fits this ability than does the standard whip which most modellers choose to use. What do you think?

I've yet to pick up the new CSM Codex so I'm unsure of how Lash works (if it's even still a skill!). Regardless, I know I can use him as a Flying Monstrous Creature to tear up my opponent's flyers!

Wow that Daemon Prince is amazing! Love the puppet and that face, oh that face. The tendrils are insane.

I love that the puppet looks like an Alpha Legion marine.

Nicely done. This almost makes me want to do Chaos with how amazing this all looks!

Those wings are incredible! Love the DP all round, especially the puppet!

awesome stuff, I like the puppet thing, and all those tentacles on all your vehicles are just awesome

I very randomly saw 'Cthulhu' flash in the corner of my eye - and knew I had to take a look. This stuff is awesome! Keep it up

(edit: English is not my first language, and I should probably have a cup of coffee before posting on forums )

Seconded - really impressive models and paintjobs - thanks for sharing

I gotta say, these are chaosiest chaos models I've seen in a while, love the plague marines.

That daemon prince is fantastic, I love how bestial he looks from the back, the parts blend together really well. And the head is very cool.

When I saw this I immediantly thought of this song:



Well played, well played

The model is awesome it gives out a lot of flavour, really cool .

Thanks, everyone! It's nice to receive such awesome feedback!

I finally finished my Dreadnought from a few months back. The first picture is here just as a reminder for what he started like before any painting was done... I know the new codex doesn't have Dreadnoughts anymore, but this guy resembles a Hellbrute as well. What do you think?

This is looking very cool the Prince looks awesome and the puppet on strings is awesome I was myself wondering if Dreads had been replaced by Brutes and if they intend to bring out a multi part kit either way this work is superb.

Well, after making my Cthulhu Daemon Prince I have some leftover bits... Figured I would try to make another Daemon Prince with them... kind of a two for one!

The plan is to make a winged prince with some kind of snake or larva body out of green stuff. Ideas of suggestions?

TENTATCLES! dats ma sagestshun

Love your theme, is that a gundam part on the dreadnaught? , i like the painted demon prince, i only think the gold is a little too bright.

Here's my second Daemon Prince.

I decided to go with a Maggot theme because I've gotten a bit tired of modelling so many tentacles! I know, thematically, tentacles would have been more Lovecraftian but, dammit, gross stuff fits into the lore, too! What's more gross than a Daemon with a maggot tail? How about a maggot tail that's bursting with zombies trying to escape its vile confines!

Let me know what you all think!

Sweet conversion .. love the putty work!

How do you keep doing that?!

"Oh hey guys, I just had a few pieces left over from my last project so I just went ahead and MADE SOMETHING THAT LOOKS AMAZING!"

Seriously, how do you get that good with green stuff?

Kudos to you!

Thanks!

Here is the finished Berzerker squad, in all of it's glory. Though after making his Rhino months ago, I realized that I should probably throw them in the Land Raider. Oh well, chalk it up to being new to the game!

Lots of inspiration here!

Your conversions are stunning, especially the transports and plague marines.

Amazing conversions here! I'm Definitely going to have to watch this thread!

Lovely! That daemon prince is sweet!

One thing, the colours looked abit dull on the blue, but maybe you liked that?

Here's the army as it stands now.

Your leg conversion on the plague marines is one of the most dastardly ingenious ideas I have ever seen. Just fantastic!

I love the plague-mok style plague marines especially. They remind me of ancient plague doctors - have you ever considered giving one a beaked plague mask like this?http://www.albany.edu/news/images/Renaissance_Plague_Doctor_Image.jpg I think it would look brilliant.

Love the squid rhino and Land Raider, of course.

In response to a few messages about the most recent army picture, here's the giant monster from it. Originally, I built this as a Count-As Defiler, but I think it will work out as a Forgefiend / Maulerfiend. It was made mostly from an old Aliens action figure, some green stuff, a few GW bits, and a JP Velociraptor model.

There's still some work left to do on each side of the turret; I'll probably buy the Fiend's bits on ebay to make the model complete.

Looks incredible. Love the vibe!

Lots of weird and wonderful conversions here! My favorite might be the daemon prince with the maggot body/tail. Inspired stuff!!

Thanks, everyone!

Yeah.this is sickeningly good. Man, I hate talented people.

Inspirational.

Craig

Damn this blog is creative.

I'm thinking the next unit will be a bunch of Chosen who can infiltrate on some mid-field cover with Meltas, Flamers, and 1 Lascannon (for the reach and added threat). I really like the idea of snipers and, although Chaos doesn't have a sniper unit in of itself, I'm planning to model regular CSMs with some Camo Cloaks (probably made from green stuff) and converting their Bolters and Meltaguns into sniper rifles with stocks, extended barrels, and large scopes.

Thoughts?

Sounds cool! I'd use Tzeench cultists tho...

Wow, that's one really "chaosy" and disgusting army! Just how chaos is supposed to be, in other words!

Love the conversions, and that Landraider is just epic...
I can imagine it's "driver" going "LEEROY JEEEENKINS!" and tank shock into the most massive unit on the board!
*omnomnomnom*

Fantastic work. You are a huge source of Ideas for someone who is just starting Chaos.

Yeah, not going to lie, the creativity here is palpable. If only someone would compile a P&M blog of the best works of Chaos, you'd certainly be in there.

Wow, I'm flattered. I just started the hobby myself recently so it's amazing to get such awesome feedback.

Well, here's the Chosen unit I talked about a few days ago. I tried to make them look like a sniper team, complete with a spotter. The camo-cloaks are there to represent the unit's infiltrate ability.

The sniper rifles are made from cut-up bolters, pistol holders, and the exhausts from the Chaos Jetpacks. The front of the barrels are pieces of sprue and the mounting polls are knife handles.

What do you think?

Oh wow! Great idea, and really well pulled off too!

I like them.



A lot

Your creativity is un-paralleled. Great work! keep it up

Looks awesome. I think you should try to use a brighter highlight though.

I posted my Land Raider on Cool Mini or Not.

Vote if you like it!

Next up are a unit of Raptors. I'll have some pics soon.

Oh, I love me some Raptors! Can't wait to see how they come out!

I'M NOT WORTHY!!!!! Seriously though, you are doing an amazing job, and your creativity is unparalleled.

Well, here's the promised Raptor squad. I bought a set of 5 Space Marine jump packs and converted some CSM marines to be raptors. They're all suspended in the air by using a paperclip attached to the basing. I tried to make some dynamic poses and the Champion (with Powerfist) has a slave he's captured from some human colony.

What do you think?

The feet are abit chunky, but other than that, LAVLEE

I love the Champion dragging his slave/victim around. Nicely done.

This thread is quite impressive.
Though I shudder to think how much you've spent on Green Stuff so far xD (Have you considered trying Millliput?)

I'll follow this with interest.

Thanks, but I haven't used that much Green Stuff yet. I bought a pack for $17 from my FLGS and I've only gone through about half of it.

Yeah... Greenstuff even in bulk isn't that cheap... and really - you've used a lot (and to good effect!) but having switched to Milliput I'm not switching back! xD (Easier to work with + cheaper) But then I could never get GS to work exactly how I wanted anyway....
Whatever works (Babbling of a madman atm)

What's next on the agenda?

Lots of great inspiration here - well done!

I'll definitely be reviewing your work again as I get started into my own chaos force!

Subbed!

Your conversion work is commendable. I love the daemon with the "meat puppet", and the counts-as defiler's control cowl is very reminiscent of the means by which the Locust in the Gears of War series control their Brumaks.

I have to say, a lot of the scratchbuilding I see that is done as a means to save money comes out rather poorly, but yours is quite the opposite. Keep up the good work.

ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn

Well, I stopped having nearly as much time for the hobby as I wanted and my Necrons have turned into my primary force... so, my CSMs are for sale!

Although I'm not the best at painting, my conversion work is very unique and will be a great addition to anyone's army! Specifically, you will get:
-Winged Daemon Prince with a puppet
-Winged Maggot-looking Deamon Prince
-6 Plague Marines with plague tanks and gas masks
-Khorne Idol Rhino
-Tentacle Monster Rhino
-Tentacle Monster Land Raider
-3 Custom Obliterators / Mutilators
-6 Chosen (Sniper-themed)

I can include the extra vanilla troops and Berzerkers if anyone is interested.
