Soundtrack to the Legion of Thorns:
NiNE iNCH NAiLs - The Wretched (from The Fragile)


Shelegelah - Thanks!

Scout elements within the *CLASSIFIED* AO have sighted only 4 heretics of the Legion of Thorns to date.
Astartes Scout Sniper *CLASSIFIED* was inserted to gather further imagery and subsequent analysis of subject Stormbringer Marine 2:



Further infiltration into the Legion-held Area of Operations are currently rating a very high level risk of compromise.
Command intent remains for scout elements to collect, analyse and disseminate imagery as quickly as possible.

For the Emperor!

I would love to see what the most recent pictured marine will look like when painted.

chaos marines win.
NIN win.

Thats a nice banner bearer you made there.
It seems mixing FB and 40K chaos stuff works very good.

I'm loving this plog. Nifty conversions, and a great style of presentation. Well done all around, really.

Love your CSM,

Love the fact you chose NIN!

I was thinking of something from MM's Antichrist Superstar.

medabee - me too!!! (Hoping to get some painting time over Easter break)
AngerFist - Yes!
Iron Angel - I love the baroque look of the CSM stuff when WoC parts are added
tinfoil - your Harrowed are one of the best daemon armies I have seen
bigmek35 - Cheers!
Miss Dee - more of a NIN and Tool fan myself

Thanks to you all for viewing and for commenting!!!
Just wanted to post to keep things rolling, the new models are taking a little longer than anticipated, however this communique was just received from Command:

* More Chaos heretics of the Legion of Thorns have been sighted by the scout elements, we are currently awaiting imagery transmission and analysis *
* Please standby *



(Latest background hum to the Legion of Thorns: NIN - The Downward Spiral

he couldn't believe how easy it was
he put the gun into his face
bang!
(so much blood for such a tiny little hole)

problems do have solutions (you know)
a lifetime of fething things up fixed in one determined flash...


haha - just noticed how dakkadakka automatically converted the word f**k to feth!!! Awesome!

My fave NIN track is Head like a hole.

In terms of Chaos game play, would you take Obliterators or Terminators?

that heavy bolter (i assume thats what it is) is fething awesome!!!

Cant waite to see them painted...

prototype_X - thanks - it was a Terminator autocannon and a SM heavy bolter that's become a Legion of Thorns mini-gun - bringing the pain oh yeah!
Miss Dee - thanks - and I second that motion...

... however, just as I was starting on the sixth Stormbringer (pics in a few days!), the first Stormbringer:



suffered a major combat wound that proved to be fatal (i.e. he fell onto the floor and I rolled my chair over him!)
He was a test build and I was never that happy with him apart from the spear, so the Fates have decreed he gets a rebuild, where he'll get a new head, as his lumpy one is going to heretic 6 (in progress).

loving the effort you put into the backgrounds for you models. really cool stuff keep it up. subbed

Looking great. I could see that mini-gun pasing as an auto cannon.

Still no paint?? This makes me sad

Keep up the fun conversion work!

The first stormbringer was a necessary sacrifice, for progress ^^
Going good, love the new gunner aswell!

Cheers// Tobi

bigfish - Thanks
Arken Vul'tan01 - Thanks - in game terms I think the mini-gun will count as a heavy bolter... but I made it more for cool than rules, as is my motto!
logg_frogg - Hahaha - two more models to go, then the whole squad will get some bases and color
LiveforFun666 - Thanks... and now, behold the re-vamped first Stormbringer:



So with him re-done, I'm back to five, number six is at GS stage and then onto the squad's Aspiring Champion...

C+C welcome!

The Legion of Thorns is gaining a mind of it's own!

The Chaos Marine squad - The Stormbringers - almost number 7 now - 2 CSMs, 2 Havocs (heavy weapons) 2 Banner bearers and an Aspiring Champion - with pics of the last two (2nd Banner and the AC) up soon.
At some stage I may expand the Havocs into a 5-man squad of their own, but shortly this first squad will be constructed, and I'll be moving onto a trio of charging Berzerkers - these will initially be Stormbringers but later will expand to 5 for playability.
A little more GS to do and then pics!

Happy Easter!

power axe, no sheild. looks more dynamic

agreed

Looking real good there!
like the banner bearer and the lord is looking amazing.
and i too agree with Bigfish, shield no axe looks better, maaaaybe a bolter or such behind it, but it otherwise looks kinda.. stuffed?
like he's carrying to much equipment to handle, get what i mean?

cant wait untill next update^^

bigfish, Imperial Monkey, LiveforFun666 - Thanks!
Taking the advice and going with the power-axe, with some minor changes.

LiveforFun666 - that 2nd banner bearer caused me no end of trouble, including slicing the end off my thumb not once but twice! I tried the bolter this morning, you're right tho, the shield kinda jams him up.

Thanks again, C+C always welcome Dakka!

Have you thought of using some bits from the command squad? Like the medic?


Automatically Appended Next Post:
she said throwing the grenade amoung the Chavs.

Miss Dee - haha - what bitz to use from where consumes my thinking... sometimes to the point where I rebuild models after finding a 'cooler' bit than the one I used!
(I buy whole models for one bit sometimes... this hobby is my only vice!)

Thanks for commenting - always welcome!

Subscribed, is it me or does the Stormbringer Aspiring Champion's top half of the spear look a little bent?

Rex-Nine - Thanks - and yes, it's bent but in the bottom half
