Thanks Magnus. Didn't get much done this weekend and the light's too crappy to take photos so I'll post some later this week once I've got a bit more done and when I see the light of day again!

Niiiiice!!

Managed to get a few more done but progress has been quite slow. Been really tired and not stayed up late building Anyway, this squad is nearly done, only two more to do then I'll crack on with the rest of the samurai:

All your work so far is amazing! The poses and converted weapons really gave the Khorne Berzerkers that certain brutality the GW models clearly lack. Great job, I've been trying to find this post again for some time, ill be subscribing now

Wow! you keep suprising me all the time. I kinda like the head on the gun barrel too...

Cheers stasis and slugga, the gun is just one of the standard plasma pistols you get with the chaos space marine set. Thought I'd give this squad a little extra fire power!

I just love those builds... Are you using anything for inspiration or just making these up as you go?

Just kind of making it up as I go, although some of the poses I've 'borrowed' from other minis, this next one being a case in point. I once had some old Warhammer fantasy battle chaos knights and one had this big old chain with some kind of weight attached to it for clobbering the enemy - so I thought 'I'll have one of those'. I've been resisting using the chainswords that come with the chaos marines and tried to make each one a little bit unique. I'm experimenting with making a large whip for the last model in this unit, if that doesn't work it's a big old Ork chain axe!

Now that's what I call a ''Chain'' mace!
Pretty awesome job on it. Did you glue the chains completely, or does the middle part move?

It did move but I didn't like it swinging around so I added a little bit of superglue to fix it in place.

Very characterful monkeyh... well done mate.

Cheers Gits'. Still waiting for green stuff to fully set for the last one of the conventional squad so I've re-started the samurai. Here are the next two I've done:

I really like the Flail, I am doing something similar with wire in a meganob conversion (Wrecking ball arm)

Very nice... and Khornate samurai just make sense on some level.

AWESOME!!!
I really love the samurai berserkers!

Sorry to go OT but what transporter do you use for your LR's?

Thanks guys, appended are a couple more picks. The ordinary squad is now fully built and only two more samurai to do then I can start slapping on paint!

@ vendetta 476 - sorry if I'm being a bit thick but I don't understand your question - what do you mean by "what transporter do you use for your land raider's?" ? Are you talking about carry cases?

Beautiful work monkeyh. I should be mad at you because I was eventually planning on doing some samurai marines... but I just can't. I may never get to the project and your stuff is great (as your GS foo is much stronger than mine).

Cheers Gits'! Day off today - yay! Finished my chores so finished building the samurai - now I'm off to try and get them primed and based before the missus gets home from the outlaws!

THose are bad

Yeah, reason why I'm asking is that my rhino bitz keeps on breaking wherever it travels around in.

I think he meant badass, completely intended as a compliment..

Anyway, I must say, I quite agree. These models are all amazing. I love the use of FW bitz, I love the dynamic poses, I love the weapon conversions...
And the best thing yet is that you have the painting skills to bring out everything you've done modelling wise..

Great army!

Yes, I was trying to not swear and describe my feelings of how awesome they are! LOL

I love FW tutorials, especially this one!

Well, the truth of it is I have nothing to carry them round in at all because whenever we battle it's always round mine (got the biggest kitchen table) so I only have to carry them through from the spare room! Sorry I can't help, however look through the adds at the top of Dakka and there are quite a few companies who offer carry cases with foam that has been specially cut for 40K vehicles although they are quite pricey

At Captainsolstice - yes they are indeed badass! (he says with a smug grin)

Battled yesterday. 2500pts CSM's vs Space wolves. Me and a mate had split force of my CSM's, half Khorne half Nurgle. Unleashed the Bezerkers and they did alright, although were in the end overwhelmed by a huge squad of wolves. We thought we were gonna cruise at after two turns as we'd trashed on of the wolves LR's and a vindicator but he fought back gallantly and at the end of turn 5 it was a bit nip and tuck. However as it was getting late we called it a draw with all three objectives contested. Fun was had by all although it was a bit of a slog! Here's a couple of pics:

Thanks for that,

Nice little batrep!

Well I didn't want to bore you with the details so I thought I'd just cut to the chase!

Some close-up pictures would have been nice...

Well to be fair, most of his stuff isn't painted and most of mine is either in this thread or on my gallery, but never fear, next time I battle I'll do a few close ups!
