This is going to be an old school chaos bezerker army. I experimented with pre-heresy World Eaters colors splattered with blood but didn't like the results but I think this will work with Space Wolf colors. Hopefully I'll be able to find gloss red here for the blood.

Anyway thanks to the Warstore I have my Wolfs and bezerkers to mash up:



For once I have enough boxes at one time to properly differenciate the squads. Squad Johanas Wu will have running legs, bare heads and double pistols.



While squad Jasonik Kruger will have double weapons, no pistols in hand and chaos warrior helmets.

And while I'm at it, here are my chaos cultists:



LotR Harn with WWII rifles and rocket launchers. Cause sometimes you just need to make some screaming cultists. Shame there's no rules for them...

And Raptors for my Death Guard:


Possessed. Thanks to Boss Salvage for the extra wings.

Hmm dakka upload turned them into thumbnails and cut quality.

I put them up on my site.

More to come as I model and paint.

Spider Raptor, Spider Raptor does whatever a Spider Raptor does. Hmm this could also be the name of a real nasty rpg monster...
I love your conversion work because you always got very cool ideas.

Thanks

Spidey will be my raptor champ with lightning claws.

Ahhhh glad the wings arrived in one piece, I was worried about Red Postal Workers crushing them with zealous abandon!

Nice to see a blog from you, though your pics are so dark and my work monitor makes them even darker to the point of sadness

I do like what I see, particularly the LotR cultists with rifles! Ha!

- Salvage

And here are some more, my 4 plasma gun havok squad, some more bezerkers, some old school marines and finally my witchhunter frothing loonies

Ring of Death!

Man those flaggelant models are fun for conversions

- Salvage

"I agree."

From what sprue are those chaos head? Fantasy or Berserker or Chaos Marines? With a bit of cutting they could just fit in my medieval space marine army (long time plan).

Flowing conversions, I always like it if the army is one piece rather than a bunch of minis thrown together.

Thanks guys, I only just noticed that this will be an all plastic army, hurray for GW plastics!

The helmets are from the fantasy chaos warriors (2004 models). It's funny, I traded away 50 of them after I did my Adeptus Custodius (Grey Knight) army and still have enough to burn on this 20 man squad. Geeze I never wanted to see them again after that project.

where did you get those WWII rifles for your cultists?

And some updates...

A better picture of my nurgle raptor champ



My nurgle Obliterators



Fallen wolves bikers


Size comparison between a CSM and a flagellent


And my flagellent-based Inquisition loonies

Hahahah I thought that was a CSM riding around on a flaggy's shoulders, but in reality he's just sneaking up on him to do baaaad things. Clearly the flaggy is either deaf or yelling loud enough not to hear the CSM continuously bellowing his warcry

The pose on the nurgle raptor is a really solid lunge, nice spawn arms too.

Speaking of spawn, I dig the faux-bliterators, very nice. The termi heads really sell them.

- Salvage

great use of the new plastics.

Nice. I might do the same with my 13th Company when those rules are killed.

- G

Looking cool man! Just make sure to clean up those mold lines and clipper tags

Im digging the nurgle oblits especially.

Those spawns actually look like obliterators. Very good job on that.

The spider raptor came out better then I expected very cool. The obliterators are very nice, too. Maybe an idea I might steal for my evil plans.

Those aren't mold lines! They're Chaos mutations!

Thanks for the feedback all, I started some painting but I'm not happy with how the Space Wolf blue looks. I'll do a test model in codex grey and see if I like it better.

Still looking for gloss red for the blood...

The great thing about these models is that they make it look so easy. The bad thing is I thought OI was the only one putting chaos warrior heads on my marines and termie heads on spawn to make obliterators. Stealing from the poor is not cool, man, not even when it's just stealing ideas.

Seriously, though, this whole thing looks great. And you can always use the cultists as kroot mercs.

My favorite blood effect ever was by accident. I had the old/crappy GW twist off red ink and over time it congealed and got really thick and i used that till it ran out which was to fast cause there wasnt much in there by the time it had "mutated"

Now if i do that I like painting blood with a but if red gore then a small blood red highlight/spattering then going over it with a mix of red ink and water effect. Getting the consistency is kinda odd but if you get it it looks really brutal and realistic w/o being cheesy and over the top (which blood and gore more often than not is on most models IMHO).

Hmm, the best blood I ever found was testors gloss red, it was an enamel and destroyed brushes but it looked wet and icky. I just can't find it (or indeed any model paints) here in Workers Paradise Red China.

Only good looking spawn I ever saw.

Dude, those obliterators are freakin awesome! Seriously some of the best ideas I've seen in a long time, gork knows I love plastics man, you're inspiring me to do simply wrong things for chaos...

Ah more decent conversions ruined by my painting...

First up the Spectacular Spider Pig, they say he was once a champion of good before he sold his soul to the dark powers in exchange for getting out of his marriage



And his amazing friends



And the spawn. Thinking of adding cables to them? Thoughts?



And my Inquisition mob



I have some fallen wolves painted but I'm undecided about paint scheme, so I'll put them in a paintng thread.

Would love to dip those puppies

Oblits are still my fav, some cables from guns/arms to back might not hurt.

- Salvage

Yea a good dip would definitely be a solid plan.

Not as good as say shipping them to Salvage and I to paint for you, but I suppose it is a little late for that plan.

Even just a dark wash would go a long way.

As to cables, I could see adding some more cables/metal plates to the Oblits to make them look a little more mechanical/armored and a little less like "spawn in a helmet". It might help drive home just what they are to the average player, I mean.

Screw the painting bit, but I would happily dip the crap out of them if Kyoto was over on our side of the world. Sadly, no luck

Is the magic sauce they sell at the warstore good?

Both my black and green ink dried up so I need to order some.

This 'un?

No idea, but I too have wondered for some time what the sauce can do ...
