Thanks Not Online!!! I’m currently enjoying my hobby as it helps take me out of the real world and helps my mental health. I’ve bought quite a few bits from the new Chaos Traitor guardsmen and enforcer recently and am looking forward to making even more different regiments. I’ve also started to paint a few of my existing conversions (currently painting up a 5 man squad of orange Hazmat wearing traitors).

Unfortunately, I feel more at home converting than painting and always seem to drag my feet when I know I have to start painting. I’m trying zenithal drybrushing as a basecoat but I’m not 100% convinced. I may go back to priming in white as I historically used to. I’ll try to persevere with the 30 black zenithal primer troopers and then make a decision then

Ah an fellow paint procastinator... i feel your pain, however there's multiple solutions to your issues, which i can reccomend personally as they have in the last 4 years made me finish 5 armies. 3 of which being traitor guard / cult forces.

- Simplyifing schemes. no that is a really big one. leave detail away, like pouches, etc. Use shemes based on 2-3 colours with detail being separate in 2 colours. remember you can always go back, pick a model up and do the detail later and most of these things on the table on the average grunt, nobody sees.

- Step painting, if you done above you can now build a unit, prime it and then you can run through 3 (4)steps, main colour 1. Main colour 2. (occaisional main colour 3), Metal/detail/ fixing up. One step per sitting. that way, even if you don't feel particulary like painting you get progress on and fast which will motivate you to go on at the same time if you start with dark main colour it makes fixing easier.

- Batch painting: there's days that you may feel like painting through, especially when you do above and the fever for painting grips you, just do it, best done if you have 2-3 units in differing steps so as to let the colours actually dry (not requred necessarily but can become annoying if you have a scheme that requires accuracy).

Thanks for your hints and tips Not Online!!! I do use batch painting as it's easier to use the same colour on multiple models before moving onto the next colour/wash etc. I have chosen some models that I can paint in the same paint scheme (Orange Hazmat suits and prison jumpsuits) and have almost finished them - I'll show some shots shortly. Unfortunately, as the title of the thread indicates, I am trying to create and therefore paint unique troopers from famous regiments and therefore, the limit of 2-3 main colours and step painting is much harder as every trooper may have a different colour tunic and trousers. I know I haven't got to finish these by a certain deadline as I don't play, I just collect. I'm torn as there are only 24 hours in a day and I love modelling and converting but realise, my pile of painting shame isn't going to decrease unless I do something about it.

Update time:



This prisoner has taken the hat of a Prison Warden. He has the head taken from a mould of a Mordian Guard, combined with a Victoria Miniature mould for a torso. Victoria Miniature arms were used with a DKoK lasgun. I added some chains from a Warhammer flail to his hand manacles (as the Victoria Miniatures chains were so fine, they snapped off when I was trying to clean them up). A mould from Mad Robot Miniatures was used for his legs.



This prisoner has multiple moulds used (Anvil Industries for the head (I think), a bare chest with a Chaos Icon carved into it, Victoria Miniature legs and Arch-Flagellant bare feet). The bare arms are from Anvil Industries with the autorifle taken from a SoB with a plasticard silencer added.



Here's one of the 3d printed Hazmat guys I got from ebay. He was 32mm, so much taller than everyone else, so I ended up removing a couple of millimetres from his shins and then used milliput to fill the gaps. A Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist knife and pistol was added to finish.



Here's another Hazmat gut. Again, I removed a few millimetres of shin and resculpted his Hazmat suit. I added a Chaos Icon to his belt and used a Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist pistol and a Warcry knife.

And finally....



I wanted to make some Vietnam American troopers after seeing the heads from Mad Robot Miniatures. I used a mould of a Mad Robot Miniature torso with a mould of a Victoria Miniatures legs. A mould of Cadian boots were used to finish the legs. Anvil Industries arms and M16 (?) were used. I then kitted him out with grenades, pouches and backpack to finish.

Feel free to ask anything.

Regards, Phil.

Update time:



This prisoner has Victoria Miniatures torso and legs from moulds. I added Warcry bare feet from moulds and finished with Necromunda Outcast arms and a DKoK bayonet.



This Hazmat guy again comes from a 3D print from ebay. As he was 32mm, I chopped his legs of at the shins and removed a few millimetres. Milliput was used to fill the gaps.



This Highlander comes from Black Scorpion Miniatures. As he was not "heroic" scale, he was a bit small. I chopped his feet off and added some shin/boots from a Victoria Miniatures mould. I added a Chaos Icon onto his shield from a mould from a Chaos Rhino hatch part.



I bought a Solar Auxilia FW model from ebay and made a few moulds of his helmet and legs. I used these on an Anvil Industries torso with a FW Chaos Renegade Chaos Icon added to his chest. His legs are a mould from a Cadian pair of legs with a milliput stripe down the centre of each leg and some small buckles from a Necromunda Goliath mould. Scion arms were added to finish.

And finally .....




I wanted to make a British WW2 Desert Rat, so started with an Anvil head, arms and Bren Gun. The legs are from a Catachan pair chopped off at the knees. I had to resculpt a pair of bare knees with milliput and then added them to a pair of socks and boots from a 3D resin print from a Scottish Bloodbowl model. Plasticard strips were used to make webbing and a Catachan backpack from a mould was also added to reinforce the WW2 feel.

Feel free to ask anything.

Regards, Phil.

Update time:



I really liked the Bulletproof masks from Anvil Industries. They make cheap, excellent quality bits for conversions. I used arms and an AK-47 from Anvil with a Genestealer Cult torso on a GW Empire Great Sword legs. The boots were from a mould taken from a BSF Blackstone Traitor Guardsman.



This model has a Solar Auxilia head (taken from a mould) on a Necromunda Outcast torso and legs. I removed all of the ribs off the shin guards and used milliput to make them smooth. Anvil Industries bare arms and a Cadian lasgun were used to finish.



This Drookian Fenguard has a GS Cult head on a Victoria Miniatures torso and legs. I added a tube from the rebreather from Greenstuff World's tentacle maker. Anvil Industries arms and weapon were used. I added an extra magazine taped to the other for quick mag changes.



I wanted to make a Vietnam era Navy SEAL. I used a Mad Robot Miniatures Beanie Hat head with a DaNamian torso. Anvil Industries arms and M16 were added. A mould taken from a pair of Cadian legs was used alongside a mould of BSF Traitor Guardsman boots. A mould of a Catachan backpack was added alongside a Chaos Icon belt buckle to finish.

And finally ....



After seeing the Roman Heads from Mad Robot Miniatures, I knew I had to make a Roman Centurion. I added the head to an original Imperial Guard torso (from a mould). Anvil Industries bare arms with a DKoK lasgun was added. I added "Lorica Manica" from thin strips of plasticard and a rivet and then attached them to the bottom of the shoulder pads. I added some Warcry legs as they were wearing leather sandals. I then attached a large shield (I think from Bitzbox) with a plasticard strap. I finished with a Chaos belt buckle and a large Chaos Icon on the shield.

Till next time, Phil.

Very nice conversions, love the Roman one most so far!

Thanks Guardling. I made another Roman trooper but much prefer this one

Update time:



I loved this Sheriff from Black Scorpion Miniatures and wanted it. I removed his tiny feet and replaced them with some boots I had made from a mould. Milliput was then used to resculpt the trousers. I finished painting this one recently and will start showing some of my newest zenithal primer pieces in the near future.



This was a simple conversion. I got the Elysian trooper bits from various bits suppliers. He had a hunched appearance, so I used a razor saw to give him a more laid back look and used milliput to fill in the gap. A Chaos Icon belt buckle was used to show his fall from the Emperor's light!



This 3D resin print I got on Etsy. I removed his halberd and added a DKoK lasgun with a Catachan knive/bayonet. Milliput was used to make a glove and a Necromunda Orlock boot mould was used. I added a holstered pistol and a Chaos Icon to finish.



This Traitor Guard has DKoK legs and arms. The head and torso are from Mad Robot Miniatures. Spikes were added to the shoulder pads. A Chaos Icon was added to the belt buckle with an empty holster. I got the mace head from an old Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist.

And finally.....



I've always wanted a Solar Auxilia squad, but the cost was too prohibitive so I bought 1 from a bits supplier. I made moulds of his feet and head to use in future conversions. I added a Chaos Icon on his front breastplate from a mould from a FW Chaos Renegade.

Till next time, Phil.

Update time:

I wanted to make a small Vietnam squad after seeing heads, torsos and legs from Mad Robot Miniatures and arms and weapons from Anvil Industries. After making various moulds and lots of conversions, I made these:











After a black primer, I drybrushed a light grey all over followed by another drybrush of white to get zenithal like shading. I then went to work with the Contrasts and Speed Paints .....











I've read about the Green Berets supposedly wearing denim jeans rather than combat fatigues in Vietnam (but in a recent podcast I listened to, the guy said that never happened). Hey ho, rule of cool wins and I painted this trooper with some jeans.

And a group shot:



I used a brushed on matt varnish to protect them BUT I think this has caused the Speed Paint I used on the fatigues and helmets to reactivate and made the white undercoat visible. You live and learn.

If anybody has any questions, feel free to ask.

Regards, Phil

Update time:



I wanted to have an American Civil War Union soldier, so I bought some brilliant heads from Mad Robot Miniatures and added this to one of their torso's. I used a mould of Cadian legs with a mould of Necromunda Orlock. Anvil Industries arms were used with a Necromunda Escher lasgun.



This Chaos Traitor Shock Trooper has a Mad Robot Miniature head and torso with a Necromunda Outcast legs and DKoK arms. I added a DKoK lasgun across his back with a thin plasticard strap (with a mould taken from a DKoK clasp). The usual spikes were added to the shoulder pads.



This Napoleonic British Chaos Traitor Guard has an Anvil Industries head with a Mad Robot Miniatures torso on a Victoria Miniatures kilted legs. DKoK arms were chosen with a backpack with added plasticard straps. A Chaos Icon belt buckle and holster were added to finish.

And finally ....



Here's one of my 3D resin Hazmat guys. I added an autopistol and a Warcry knife. Lots of blood was added to give a grimy chaos feel.



I added Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist autopistol and knife to this model.



And this is a group shot of the Hazmat squad.

Till next time, Phil.

Our hobby allows me to forget my personal/family issues and just drink in the Sci-fi Fantasy world. Thanks for your comments

MeatShield wrote:great progress. The painted hazmats look great, but the rate that you pump out unique traitor is inspiring.

Thanks MeatShield. I alternate between building and painting and I am currently in a painting phase. I have so many cultists/traitor guard that I want to use the new GW Contrast Colours that are out on 16/07. I'm using my existing Contrast and Speed paints but leaving certain areas for the new ones when I get them.

Update time:



I wanted to use some of the Anvil Industries (not) Valhallan heads. I paired it with an Anvil Industries Winter Greatcoat and arms. The legs and Melta gun are from the DKoK range. Milliput was used to fill any gaps.



I wanted to make a kilted barbarian, so I used a bare chest mould (from Mad Robot Miniatures) on a kilt (mould from Victoria Miniatures) on Warcry sandals (again from a mould). Bare arms were from Anvil Industries with a head from a Warhammer Empire Flagellant (I think) and an autogun from the SoB.



This mainly comes from a Bloodbowl figure, I added a Chaos Marauder axe and a new head (not sure where that came from - Necromunda Goliath?)



This Warcry model has had a small axe added, but otherwise is stock.



This swashbuckler comes from Black Scorpion Miniatures. I swopped the miniscule sword with a Deathrattle Skeleton sword and the tiny flint-lock with a DKoK laspistol.

And finally ...



Here's one of my Penal troopers. I added a Chaos icon upon his chest. It's from mould of Victoria Miniature bits (head? and legs) and a Mad Robot Miniatures bare torso with Anvil Industry arms. The feet are from a BSF Chaos Traitor Guard mould.



This Penal trooper has a bare chest from Mad Robot Miniatures. It has moulds of Victoria Miniature bits (head? and legs) and Catachan arms. The feet are from a BSF Chaos Traitor Guard mould and a GSC shotgun.

Please feel to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

I really like the penals, simple yet magnificent effect!

Thanks Not Online!!! I've had fun making the Penal Troopers from lots of different moulds and bits. I'm just finishing off another 6 (including 2 with stolen Penal Jailer uniforms) which I'll show off soon.

Update time:



This Chaos Traitor Guard had a head from a 3D Resin print from Bitzbox which gave it a Medieval look.The body is from a Necromunda Outcast with a FW Chaos Renegade Icon (taken from a mould) as his breastplate. He has a DKoK right arm (with added spikes to the shoulder pad) with a mace from a Chaos warrior. I can't remember where I got the mould for the left arm (could be Anvil or Spellcrow) and added a Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist autopistol. A DKoK lasgun was added on his back with a plasticard strap and clasps made from moulds from the DKoK kit.



This winter warrior has an Anvil Industries head and torso, I added DKoK arms and lasgun (the shoulder pads were carefully removed). The legs were from Cadia for a change. A mould of a DKoK backpack was also added.



This trooper is from a 3D resin print from etsy. I added a 40k feel by using the feet from a DKoK I had spare and used milliput to fill the gaps. I'm waiting for some of the new bright GW Contrast paints for a colour scheme.



This Traitor Guard has an Anvil Industries head, torso and arms with Victoria Miniatures legs. A backpack was added from a mould alongside a holster and Chaos Icon belt buckle. I used a Cadian lasgun to finish.



This Medieval trooper comes from a Necromunda Outcast body with a Warhammer Great Swordsman head. Genestealer Cult arms and autogun were also used. Milliput was also used to fill the gaps.

And some completed models .....



This Penal Trooper was made from Victoria Miniature moulds and a Necromunda Outcast shotgun.



This convict has managed to steal a Prison Guards boots and knee pads. I painted gloss on them to make it have a more shiny effect.



This convict has a Mad Robot Miniatures head, a bare Chaos Icon branded chest (taken from a mould) with catachan arms and a Warcry pair of legs. The loincloth was removed and milliput was used to fill the gaps.



This convict has a bare chest (from Mad Robot Miniatures?) with a flagellants pair of legs. I chose the ones with manacles to tie in with the convict look.



This convict was fun to make. I chose a screaming head and added it to a pair of running manacled flagellant feet that I attached to a converted mould of Victoria Miniature legs. He has taken the gloves, wrist guards and pistol from an unfortunate Prison Guard!!



This has a pair of Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist arms converted to hold a SM knive. Congealed blood was added as usual to all of the blades of my models.

Here's a group shot of my first squad:



I started to write Prisoner numbers across the chest and backs of all the Prison jump suits but found it much easier to use a 0.1mm pen instead.



I love the convict on the furthest right. This Victoria Miniatures torso has modelled whip welts/marks across the back which I think is brilliant!

Please feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

Holy cow these are amazing! Can't wait to see an army shot of the traitor guard. The hazmat squad is a favorite of mine so far.

Just, wow!

Great work. I especially love the Hazmat suits, very sinister, and the penal troopers are very interesting. It's one project (but non-chaos) I have had in the back of my mind to do myself so I can certainly take some inspiration from yours.

A theoretical question for you - how would you model a squad manacled together? I know you mentioned you don't game, but imagine that moving them around the table and removing models was a consideration also.

The top one with the potato masher maul

Very nice!
Love the medieval guy, gonna have to copy him for myself!

Thanks Insectum7. Once I saw these models on ebay, I knew I had to have them. There were about 15 different models for £9.99, so well worth the investment. There are others I can convert but I need to invest a lot of time to do so (which I don't have at the moment!)

I do recommend Victoria Miniatures for the Penal Troopers, they are great sculpts. As to the manacled together question, the only thing I could think of was to wrap around each squad members neck a length of jewellers chain and then unwrap when you need to remove one of the troopers.

Update time:



This cultist/Traitor Guard has a Mad Robot Miniatures head added to a Necromunda Outcast model. Milliput was used to fill all gaps used.



This is a Black Scorpion Miniatures Highwayman I saw and thought I could convert. The feet were replaced with some Cadian boots I had spare. I removed all of the tiny flintlock pistols he had and added a DKoK pickaxe and Warhammer knife and used milliput to resculpt his belt. DKoK laspistols were then used in each hand. A Chaos Icon was also attached to the side of his belt to show which "side" he is on!!



This Traitor Guard has a Scion torso with a new breastplate (taken from a mould of a FW Chaos Renegade Chaos Icon) and Cadian arms (with spikes added to the shoulderpads). A Warhammer Empire head was added alongside a mould of some legs and Necromunda Orlock boots. A Deathrattle skeleton sword was added to finish.



This "Hazmat/Spacesuit" guy has an Anvil Industries head added to a Necromunda Outcast torso with GS arms and legs. The GS icon was carefully removed from his legs and milliput was then used to fill all of the gaps.



I wanted to make a French Foreign Legion "Beau Geste" like trooper. I used a Mad Robot Miniature head with a DKoK arms, lasgun and body. I used milliput to sculpt the bottom of his trousers (to hide the puttees) and then added a Catachan knife as a bayonet. I removed the shoulderpads with scalpel and files and used milliput as always, to fill any gaps. Finally, a Chaos Icon belt buckle was added.

And to some finished models....



This is my 17th Corinth Conquistadors. I wanted to make it as bright as possible so chose orange and blue contrast paint over a zenithal prime. I added a holstered laspistol to bring him into the 40k world. I added some congealed blood down the sword blade as well.



This model was from the Necromunda Redemptionists. I added an Anvil Industries head and a new breastplate (from the FW Chaos Renegade kit). I converted the chainsaw by removing the flamer and adding milliput to fill the gap around the chainsaw.



This gunslinger is based on a Necromunda Orlock model with a hat taken from a mould from a Black Scorpion Miniatures. If I had to make this again, I would try to get the hat to sink lower down.

Any questions, just ask. Till next time, Phil.

Update time:



I wanted to make a Union Civil War Infantryman after seeing the Mad Robot Miniatures heads. I added a milliput torso with single buttons I had previously converted. The arms and legs were from Cadian troopers with plasticard straps and a CHaos Icon belt buckle.



This Zulu War inspired model has an Anvil Industries head and arms with a mould of a Cadian dress torso and legs with a Necromunda Orlock boots. Epaulettes were added alongside a Chaos Icon dangling from his belt.




This Native American was a 3D resin print from Etsy. I converted him with a Warcry axe with a SM knife and a mould of a holstered laspistol. I added a Chaos Icon (taken from a Chaos Rhino hatch) to his shield to ensure everyone which deity he worships. I think he will look really cool when I eventually get around to painting them.



I wanted some Gladiator-like cultists and saw this on Etsy. I replaced his paltry sword with a Catachan long sword.



This convict has clearly been working out in the prison gym! He is made entirely of moulds apart from the Warcry knives.

And some finished models ....



This is my Chaos 25th Wessex Fusiliers and is based on a WW1/WW2 British Infantryman. He has an Anvil Industries head and arms with a Mad Robot Miniatures torso. I added SM pouches to his chest and a backpack. The legs are from a Cadian mould with puttee and boots from another mould (which I can't remember where from). A DKoK lasgun and SM knife were chosen with a Chaos Icon dangling from his belt.



This is my 12th Palatine Guard. He's from an Etsy 3D print. I converted him by adding a new autopistol, grenade, Cadian knife, Chaos Icon belt buckle and holstered laspistol. I wanted to make him as colourful as possible, so used some of the GW contrast paints and am waiting on the new range that are coming out tomorrow to paint some more!



I saw this Russian Spetnatz Sniper on Etsy and had to have it. I swopped the weapon with this DKoK lasgun and added the sniper scope from the original model. Simple swop but I think it's really effective.

Till next time. Regards, Phil.

Formidably good converting going on here, mate, and loving the painting results on the latest sniper. How do you do your basing? Looks nice! Well, nice is a relative term for the end times obviously…

The Sniper looks particulary cool.

The Civil war type kitbash honestly is another one of those that would make a lovely full army.

Good job on them once again !

Thanks Ragsta. There are some amazing 3D prints out there that can be easily converted to 40k. I'm always looking for my next convert. I just trowel on some Ammo from Mig Jimenez Dark Mud Ground and that's it. I'm going for a Vraks/WW1 look for all of these models.

Thanks Not Online. Every one I make I think about making a squad/army of them!!

Update time:



I wanted to make a WW1 like German/Scottish model, so I used a Mad Robot Miniatures head with a Victoria Miniatures torso with GS Cult arms and converted legs. I used a DKoK lasgun with a Chaos Icon, axe and a mini sporran/pouch (taken from a mould from the kilted Victoria Miniatures).



This is a fallen Scion. I used a DKoK kneeling legs and swopped his feet for some BSF Chaos Traitor Guard moulds. I carefully moved the hotshot lasgun hoses and filled gaps with milliputs. I added a Chaos Icon belt buckle and some spikes to the shoulder pads.



I wanted to have a Valhallan/WW2 Russian like model. I used a mould of a Spellcrow model head and added to a mould of a torso and greatcoat legs I made. The blanket was from a mould I had from an original Valhallan model. I used a DKoK arm and a catachan knife for his left arm.



This is based on a Warcry model. I added an Anvil long haired head, bare arms and Bren gun. A Chaos Icon was added alongside a holstered laspistol from a mould. Milliput was used to fill all of the gaps as usual.



This Traitor Guard has a converted Cadian head with a mould of a branded Chaos Icon across his bare chest. Anvil Industries bare arms were used alongside a GS Cult pair of legs. A Lasgun with a Chaos Icon dangling from his belt (instead of the GS logo) was used to finish this one.



This model has a body and legs from a GS Cultist with a pair of Scion arms and an Anvil Industries head. Spikes were added to his shoulder pads to "Chaosify" him!!

And some finished models .....



This is a Black Scorpion Miniatures model. I added some AOS Death Rattle Skeleton swords and a DKoK lasgun slung across his back.



Again, this is a Black Scorpion Miniatures model. I give you an officer from the 6th Royal Ventralis. I converted him by adding a Necromunda Enforcer pistol and a Chainsword and painted him in a 19th Century British Officer style.



This was from a 3d Resin print I bought on Etsy. I converted his small Kalashnikov with a Lasgun and milliput to fill the gaps - simple but I think looks quite effective.

Till next time. Phil.

Update time:



I wanted to make another "Romanesque" like model. I again used a head and torso from Mad Robot Miniatures. They are brilliant parts and really make the model appear to be a heavy assault trooper. I added a DKok right arm (with some spikes added to the shoulder pad) and a bare left arm from Anvil Industries with a Warcry axe. The legs are from Necromunda Outcast legs with a Warhammer Empire sword (just because he didn't have enough weapons!!).



This model has a Catachan bare chested and flak jacket torso with an Anvil Industries head. The Catachan medic arms were converted by adding a BSF Chaos Traitor Guardsman's hands and lasgun. Milliput was used to sculpt muscles and to fill gaps as usual. Although the Catachan medics arms are a bit smaller in scale, I really like them as it allows me to make some left handed models as opposed to the usual right handed. GS cult legs were added alongside some Chaos Icons to show his beliefs!



This is a Black Scorpion Miniatures I converted. I swopped his very small six shooter for a Necromunda pistol and added some Cadian boots (from a mould). The original feet were far to small for my liking. I also used some milliput to make some trouser legs. A Chaos Icon belt buckle was added to finish.



This model has an Anvil Industries head and arms which I added to my Chaos branded bare chest. I used a mould of one of the Cadian legs and added some feet from a BSF Chaos Traitor Guard mould. I used a Catachan Bolter and added some SM Bolter magazines on his belt. I added a holstered laspistol and Chaos Icon belt buckle.



This model has an Anvil Industries head and cross belt buckle torso (from Mad Robot Miniatures?). I used an Adeptus Mechanicus pair of arms as the rifle looked suitably old fashioned. Milliput was used to fill and smooth gaps. I used a pair of Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist legs and added a Chaos Icon dangling from his belt.



I wanted to have a Deep Sea Diver like model to go alongside the Scuba Diver I made and showed previously. I scoured the internet and managed to find the helmet from Zinge Industries - it's slightly smaller than I would like, but it's hardly noticeable. I used a Necromunda Outcast torso and legs which resembled a Deep Sea Divers. I didn't like the scroll on the right shin , so I made a mould of the left one and then carefully removed the right and swopped it. The arms were moulds from Anvil Industries added to a mould of gloves (from a Warhammer Chaos Warrior). I used a Necromunda Enforcer pistol and Catachan knife as weapons. I added a Chaos Icon to his chest to finish. This reminds me very much like a Scooby Doo villain!!!!!!

And to some finished models ....



This is a Chaos 118th Valterian Destroyer. He is based on a Temptus Scion. I went for an Urban colour scheme. I added a spare SM bolter magazine to his belt alongside a Chaos Icon belt buckle. To make him more "Chaos" like, I added some spikes to his shoulder pads as well.




This is my 8th Vatican Bodyguard. The head is from a resin cast from Bitzbox, added to a Catachan arms and lasgun. I used Warhammer Empire puffed sleeves (with milliput to smooth the joins with the Catachan arms) and legs. I used a mould of some BSF Chaos Traitor Guard boots to add some height (the original Warhammer Empire boots made him look incredibly short - they are clearly not "Heroic" scale). The torso was from a mould of a Cadian Officers that I added a Chaos breastplate (taken from a mould from the FW Chaos Renegade torso's). A SM Scout knife was added to his back, alongside a Necromunda Orlock scabbard for him to keep the knife in his left hand when he's not using it. I used some bright contrast colours to paint his uniform and some Retributor Gold for his helmet. I really enjoyed this model and intend on painting all of the similar Warhammer Empire bits models I have made with different paint schemes to show all of the different uniforms that every world and regiment uses.

Diver Chaos militia

TBH hiding in an ocean is probably the best thing you can do as a chaos miltia.

once again all of them overly tempting to start a themed army with.

If I had unlimited time, I would do multiple armies but alas, 1 or 2 trooper from each regiment is all I can muster!

Update time:



This model has a BSF Chaos Cultist torso with a Catachan chainsword (with some milliput to fill gaps) in his right hand. The knife in his left hand is from Warcry. The legs are from a mould from Anvil Industries and boots from a mould from Mad Robot Miniatures. A plasticard belt was added with a Chaos Icon belt buckle, pouches and holstered laspistol (from moulds). This is how I painted him ....




This is my Chaos 1st Tantiss Shock Trooper. I used mostly contrast paints with a bit of Humbrol rust and GSW Congealed Blood sponged on to different parts of the model.



This model is made mostly from moulds. I wanted to make him look like a fallen Mordian like regiment. I armed him with a Necromundan Outcast las-rifle.



This model is based on a Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist legs and autogun. The Catachan medic arms were used again with milliput used to fill gaps. A Chaos Icon branded bare chest was used with an Empire flagellant head.



This was again mostly made from moulded parts. The head was from an Empire Pistollier and the shot gun was from a Necromunda Outcast.



And finally, I wanted to make an SAS like model. I used a GSC head as it had a great gasmask with a Victoria Miniatures torso. I think the legs were from Spellcrow but I'm not 100%. The arms and weapons are from Anvil Industries. A Chaos Icon belt buckle was added alongside some grenades and holstered laspistol. Milliput was then used to fill all of the gaps.



I give you a Chaos 53rd Hereford Rifles. I wanted to paint them in the style of the 1980's Iran Embassy scheme so chose Vallejo Black Grey to paint the overall's with black for all of the webbing and boots. I also gave him a red visor to assist with night vision with some Flesh Tearer Red contrast followed by a coat of gloss varnish.

Till next time, Phil.

Update time:



This model has an Anvil Industries Zombie head with a mould of a Necromunda Outcast. GSC arms were used with a pair of Cadian legs (with a mould of Cadian boots). Milliput was used as usual to fill gaps.



This Traitor Guard has an Empire Pistollier head and Necromunda Outcast arms. The rest is made of moulds (a Mad Robot Miniatures torso, striped trousers converted from a Cadian with Necromundan Orlock boots).



I made a slight conversion to this giant Necromundan Delaque ganger. I used a mould of a head I've used on my Penal troopers. I also made a holster that I attached to his right side.



I wanted this Traitor Guard to have an 18th Century feel so I gave him an Anvil Industries head matched with a some Adeptus Mechanicus arms.
The torso is a mould from Mad Robot Miniatures, with my striped converted legs and a pair of BSF Traitor Guard boots. A plasticard strap was added to hold his ammo box on his left hip.

And some finished models ....



This is my Chaos 86th Plebian Lifeguards. I bought a few of the new brightest colour contrast paints and wanted to try as many variations as I could. Striking Scorpion, Imperial Fist and the older Snakebite Leather were the main colours used. Congealed blood was sponged on his sabre.



This Chaos Spetznatz originated on Etsy and I swopped the original weapon with an AK47 from Anvil Industries. I wanted to give him a chemical weapons overall so I used some Militarum Green Contrast paint.

And finally..



This is my Chaos 17th Reitling Rangers. He has a Mad Robot Miniatures head and torso with DKoK arms and legs with some milliput sculpted fur trims. He has a Death Rattle skeleton sword and I added some spikes on his shoulder pads. I used Militarium Green Contrast for his coat and over a silver undercoat on their shoulder pad, I added a thin layer of Flesh Tearer Contrast to give a slight metallic look. Rust, mud and blood was sponged on to finish.

I have informed the inquisitors about the alarming rate of chaos converts. I love it, keep it up!

You're really killing it man. Combining 3D printing and old school miliput and plasticard.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks MeatShield. Do you think a chaos follower is worried about the Inquisition??? Plenty more followers of Chaos to come

Thanks Steve. I love loads of your bits and plan on getting more in the future

Update time:



I made this Chaos Cultist from a Warcry model. I "40k'd" it by adding an autopistol from a Dark Vengeance Cultist. I also added a Chaos Icon shield over his left forearm (a mould from a Chaos Warrior) and a moulded holster on his left hip. The head came from a mould of a Necromundan Goliath.



Having bought a Solar Auxilia model from ebay, I made a few moulds of his head and legs to use on this model. I used a Necromunda Outcast for the torso and knife with an Adeptus Mechanicus rifle. A Chaos Icon breast plate was added from a mould from the FW Chaos Renegade torso's.



This Traitor Guard has an Anvil Industries gead, combined with a mould of a Mad Robot Miniatures torso. I sculpted the greycoat legs and added a mould of some Cadian boots. A mould of a Chaos shoulder pad was added with some plasticard straps. It has an Adeptus Mechanicus rifle and a Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist Autopistol. Grenades and a Chaos Icon belt buckle were added to finish.

And some finished models......



I wanted to make an American WW2 GI type squad after seeing the Anvil Industries heads. I used a Mad Robot Miniatures torso and laced up boots (from moulds) with a Cadian pair of legs (again from moulds). The arms are from moulds from Spellcrow. The autorifle came from a SoB model. I added a pair of sunglasses I sculpted from milliput to give him a cool look and to differentiate him as the squad leader. I added a chest mounted holstered pistol, a Catachan knife, grenades with a Chaos Icon belt buckle. I painted him with Militarium Green Contrast for his uniform with Army Painter Camo Cloak Speed Paint for his webbing.



This is my point man. Anvil Industries released some Thompson machine guns as part of their D-Day release recently, so I had to make some models for them. So this has Anvil Industries head and arms, with a Mad Robot Miniatures torso and laced up boots (from moulds). The legs came from a Catachan fighter mould. A Chaos Icon was dangled from his belt. I added a SM Scout pouch and grenade onto his chest harness. A backpack was added from a mould from a Catachan backpack alongside a Catachan knife.



I love this pose - braced and screaming as he's firing - he reminds me of Al Pacino in Scarface!! He has an Anvil Industries head and arms with a Mad Robot Miniatures torso and laced up boots. He has a Catachan pair of legs. The same backpack was used, alongside a Chaos Icon belt buckle, grenades and a Catachan knife.



I wanted to have a running pose, so I converted a pair of Catachan legs and again used Anvil Industries head and arms with a Mad Robot Miniatures torso and laced up boots. Grenades and pouches were added to finish.



This is a group shot of my GI squad so far. I need to look at Anvil Industries and other companies to see what else I can use as I plan on adding more to this group in the near future.

Feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

These look nice, full action !
