So, quick explanation - I'm starting a chaos army and using mostly models that I have obtained second-hand. These guys have come from a number of sources from someone offloading some of their army to me in the shop, auctions, trades, and (in the case of two obliterators) the local dump (Someone found them in the dump and was like "Can you use these?" the answer - "Hell yeah!")

Anyway, I thought I would start with some of the more unfortunate victims of the Second Hand, and give them a new life to themselves. Old Space Wolf that's been mutilated well beyond recognition? Plague Marine. Couldn't get the paint quite off? Plague Marine. What the hell did they do to this guy's leg? Plague Marine. Is that... what the hell is that?!? Plague Marine. Sifting through the bits bins of people at the local game shop would occasionally turn up an actual plague marine as well, so there are a couple of those in there.

To give these guys the credit they deserve, I manages to score Some Death Guard shoulder pads from the local shop, and I picked up some Chapter House heads and used those throughout.

Also, I'm probably not done modifying these guys yet (there are some problems yet to be resolved) but I needed to test out the camera for some work coming up and thought "Well, what the hell... should show everyone what I'm working on as well".

Anyway, Enjoy where I'm at. More to follow.

NIce, I like the conversion work, and the use of second-hand models will be interesting. I'll definitely be subbing this.
