I searched the tutorial forum, but came up blank.

Has any one got any examples of Chaos Space Marines made from WHFB Chaos Warriors? Has anyone got a tutorial?

Thanks in advance guys

Sorry to be a nuisance, but does anyone have a size comparison shot of:

It wont be easy to do. I have a set of the WHFB Chaos warriors and they arent assembled like CSM are.

The parts are:

A back half w cloak, shoulder pads, and upper 1/2 of the arms molded to it.

A front half thats basically the front armor plate & maybe the legs, unless they are attached to the back half, I dont recall & cant tell from my assembled minis.

Forearm half with weapons & shields.

Head.
It would be tough to make decent looking CSM from them without major conversion of each mini.

As for your second question...I dont have a size comparison to show you, but the daemon prince is much larger that the knight riding the juggernaut...so if you were thinking of doing a mounted daemon prince, it will look like a linebacker on a pony.

Whats my game?

I was just wondering, because I've seen it done before, and thought it looked quite cool.

As for the DP and the Juggernaut guy, I was planning on using the Knight as a DP.

It can be done, fairly easily too.

This is for space wolves which the chaos warrior fur really looks good for, but using a chaos head would look good too I bet:

The best I can think of for this conversion is the TWC I made for my Space Wolves out of Chaos Knights. If you're interested you can check those out on the website in my signature. It will at least provide you with a starting point and I do talk about the compatibility of Marine and Chaos Knight bits.

Thanks Skelly, thanks Overwatch you've both been a great deal of help.

Both those links are great.
