Good start!

Mixing the GK torso with chaotic elements is a very good idea for a sorceror lord, and the wings are a nice touch.
this head is really good looking without the horns, I will probably use the same for my Thousand Sons termies

Are you going to replace the horns by something else?

I hope you'll enjoy your new workspace! (mine's still the dinning table

)

**tipios**

Thanks joe

I was gona smooth the head down nice and round like my termie with the reaper, but as he is a lord I might try and add some different horns that will fit through the gaps. If they fit then thats what he will get

My work space is still the diinner table, but I must clean it up more often than I use to lol!

**GiraffeX**

Nice terminator, I was planning to use Grey Knights to make my Thousand Sons terms.

I like the wings idea, cant copy it though so I now need to think of something else to give them a bit of bling lol

**tipios**

I'm also gona try the greyknigh SM backs on the rest of the thousand sons including havoc's. Gona test tonight

**GiraffeX**

Looking forward to seeing the results.

**tipios**

Got blutac, and mocked up the lord. I think I'm gona try to add trophy rack but not sure.

Camera ran out so only 1 pic. More tomorrow

Tried the greyknight SM back with chaos SM front, they don't line up:(, so need a bit of work.

**Hyenajoe**

Your lord looks fantastic!

I'm not sure for the trophy rack (wings + trophy rack = too much)

**tipios**

Agreed joe, that would be too much.

Got the staff done today.

I plan to add bolter to the left arm, the same way the GK have their's

Here's a quick mock up of chaos front with GK back.

Not sure yet how this is gona go.

Any thoughts welcome

**Yggdrasil**

Love the Tzeentch Terminator Lord!!!

As for the GK back, how does it look up front? That's what should be interesting IMHO...

**tipios**

Thanks Yggdrasil

Here's from the front, dosn't look that affective, I have another GK back that has a higher peice behind the head. I will try that.

**Yggdrasil**

Agreed, the CSM head looks too big for the GK "Psychic Hood" to be visually effective... Nice idea though!

**tipios**

Might get some GK heads and see what I can do with them!!

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Or make the back piece bigger myself.

**tipios**

Ok, tried a normal CSM head, looks better IMO.

I think I'm going to use a normal SM backpack, and convert it a bit.

I'm still considering GK heads, has anyone used them on CSM yet?
What are the thoughts of da dakkas

**tipios**

Here's more pics of termie lord.

I've added the bolter to his arm. The bullet belt will have to be modifiled to hang downwards, and barrels drilled

Any thoughts??? Too bulky or OK?

**logg_frogg**

SOme interesting conversion work here for sure!

I'm in like sin to follow this thread

**tipios**

Thanks Logg frogg,

Here's some more sin action for you

Got the termie lord legs, would have had them earlier, but they were left out of my bitz order.

Reduced the size of the bolter, cut off the barrels so I can add my own. Got that idea from looking at Lamby's blog, he has done a wicked termie conversion, check it our http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/90/352980.page#3051247

I need to cut out the writing on his chest to add pipping, not sure how yet, don't want to reck it.

Should I keep the book on the front, or try something else??

**GiraffeX**

tipios wrote:Should I keep the book on the front, or try something else??

As a Tzeentch lord I'd keep the book as it's very in theme, I'm going to keep the books on mine when I do a full unit of Tzeentch Terminators using the Grey Knight bodies.

Your lord is looking really nice.

**tipios**

Thanks Giraffex - Keeping book

**neil101**

Great work Tipios , the wings really suit these guys , fave is the raptor flamer though , his feet are so cool.

**tipios**

Thanks Neil101, I'm really happy with how the feet came out, just need to finish of the details with GS. I've got to stop starting new stuff before finishing old stuff, but I just love the first stages of having an idea, and then creating it. I think it is an addiction

**Skalk Bloodaxe**

...

...how did I not EVER see this thread until just now?

I read it from start to finish. I know I'm really late to the thread but WOW those Raptors are... and the Sorcerer is just.., and, and....

*head explodes from the backlog of awesome it just absorbed*

**Limbo**

Skalk gets to stand in the corner for the rest of this lesson
As for the Chaos Lord, he seems abit "clean" for a Tzeenth lord atm, have you thought about adding some more mutations? Or perhaps the souls-in-shoulderpad you can see on the GW homesite?

**Yggdrasil**

Great job! He looks massive & brutal, not something we're quite used to for Tzeentchian characters, but you cannot mistake it for any other thing so that's perfect for me!

**Two Spartan**

Those raptors are sweet dude

**tipios**

@skalk - better late than never

@limbo - I don't know the pads you are talking about, can you do a link? also I didn't think the tzeenth CSM had mutations, or have I made a mistake?? but would like ideas if you have some

@Yggdrasil - Thanks glad you like it

I think I need to read up on tzeentchain stuff.

@two spartan - Thanks

after the little friendly competiton we are having, I can get on and finish them. Thet are now going to be nightlords like my comp entry, so by then I should have learnt how I want to paint the wings. I really like Finnan's work http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/600/269370.page#3079358 these are awesomely painted wings. I am going to try that, but with a red to keep with the nightlord theme.

This is the sort of thing i want to do for the Raptor wings, but I need more practice.

**tipios**

Quick update of termie lord.

I've drilled out the SM writing on his chest and replaced with some coiled up wire from Zinge Industries.

Now for some chaos arrows coming out the sides of the book.

**Fairfeldia**

this thread is CRAYZAY

its heretics like you that inspire me to start a CSM army
and put the fear of the warp into my IG

**Hyenajoe**

I like this wire and the hanging skull, good job!

**tipios**

Thanks joe, the skull bit was easy because it is part of the mini

I have a problrm now with the wire, I can't get both sides to look the same, neeeed to smash something

Automatically Appended Next Post:
@Fairfeldia thanks

**tipios**

Did a bit more on the GK armour today, now pipes on both sides, and chaos arrows added

Also I have been working on my pimped up Night Lord sorcerer, started GSing the base and adding details to the backpack.
