I Hate the raptor model and my chaos army is a renegade company so the wouldn't have any old raptor armor. I thought about using
possessed wings but the are hard to find. I thought about using Space marine jump packs, but how would you make the look chaotic
besides just adding spikes to them. Any ideas?

<><

Hmm, a friend of mine made his raptors out of Khorne Bezerkers, I think he used SM jump packs but I'm not sure. I'll try to find out from him later this week. If your doing a renegade company do they really need to look more chaotic? (or have then been chaos for a long time, just not a specific "chapter" for lack of better word).

Pretty much its either wings or SM jump packs.... well you COULD use Ork stormboyz packs. Those would deffinetly look differnt then what youd normally see on assault squads.

You could use GS to put chaos-like symbols on regular SM jump packs, maybe?

If you're after something different, then the Chaos Possessed has two pairs of wings per box, but you could get them from an online bitz store.

Here are some ideas that I have been collecting for making strange jumppack troops:

Transparent dragonfly type wings could look really strange in a good chaotic way. Cut them from thin clear plastic then use a sharp tool to carve the "veins" into the wings. Ink the veins and stick the wings to the model with PVA-glue after the model is painted. Do a google-image search for dragonfly wings to get some inspiration for patterns. There are even etched-brass dragonfly wings to buy online.

Use wings from eldar swooping hawks, woodelf warhawks/eagles or similar and paint the feathers in classic tzeentchy colours. Works great with modelling some loose feathers in blue, pink etc on their bases.

Discs of Tzeentch

Wings from Dark-eldar scourges (does look a bit small and puny actually) or hellion skyboards could be an alternative.

Edit: For some serious tzeentch wings I'd reccomend: empire pegasus wings

Seraphim jumppacks looks sort of imperial but still odd. They might be easier to "chaosify" than the vanilla marines jumppack.

Use gs or plasticard to make the jump packs look more crude/ chaos. You could also add studs to it and some chaos icons.

Alex's thread is impressive. If I were still a chaos player I would steal the idea

Thankyou, i'm flattered!

Your welcome! Not every day do you get a conversion as decent as this one for raptors!
