Subject: Children of Stirba: My Furry Chaos Space Marine Army
So yeah I'm a furry and I've been dying to make an army that is wholly unique to me. Which to be honest had me messing around with the bitz box, originally thinking of just mixing Skaven and CSM and calling it a day, BUT I stumbled across a game called Albedo and used some of it's bitz, Circle bitz from Hordes, and some D&D pieces, a few 3rd party places, as well as much GW stuff I could find to keep the 75% GW quota so I can actually use this army some day in a store. That said I also got to experiment and learn how to best use green stuff, which is a material I really haven't used much at all outside of this project.
Anyways I really wanted to share this with everyone. And I hope you enjoy it
Fluff wise they are a fallen White Scars successor chapter, so they favor bikes and rhinos, hunting down their 'prey' and worship Slannesh (as an army with STRONG Furry and Werewolf/werecreature motifs it was a hard battle wheter to go Slannesh or Tzeentch. but the main influence of the name of the army AND a certain scene from that movie (Howling II) pushed me to the dark prince's embraces)
Guess I'll start at the top with the HQs:
Daemon Prince Karsten
Warpsmith/Warp Priestess Sybil
Sorcerers Baphomet and Lovecraft
Biker Sorcerer Nicodemus
Biker Lord Ursus Erectus (A friend of mine gave him that name, I had to keep it.)
Master of Executions Scar
Dark Apostle Reptar and his disciples
Terminator Lord Yeenoghu
I'll post the infantry later as it's about 3am here.

Its crazy, chaotic and uniqe.
Looks like you had a lot of fun making this and finding the right pieces.

Thank you. And yeah it was a challenge, the fun really came from learning how to use green stuff getting the images from my head into the model on the table.
As far as painting it's mostly done with Wal-Mart paints, Various inks from Bombay and Higgins, and transparent color for airbrushes by Golden for shades and the like.
Anyways:
Elites:
Chosen:
Terminators:
Dreadnought Moon Moon aka the Good Boy:
Dreadnought Stormie:
The Troops:
The Noise Marines including the bunny. And I mean THE BUNNY. Nothing from Antioch will save you now! BWAHAHAHA!
Bolter Marines /w 2 Plasma Guns, Wolf Champ with Storm Bolter and Power Sword (May use as Fallen if they ever get good rules):
BBQ Close Combat Squad, 2 Flamers and Lion Champ with Combi-Flamer and Power Sword:
Melta Close Combat Squad, 2 Meltas and Honey Badger Champ /w Combi-Melta and Power Fist:
Shooty Cultists led by the blue haired Escher Kitty:
Stabby Cultists led by the Joker Hyena:
Fast Attack:
Heldrake aka the only fairly normal model in my army:
Spawn also kinda normal in comparison:
New School Bikers with Plasmas:
Old School Bikers with Meltas:
Heavy Support:
Two Big Mean Maulerfiends:
Land Raider aka BBQ Terminator Delivery Service:
And finally the Rhino Transports:
Rhino 1 /w Shenzi tank commander, and havoc launcher:
Rhino 2 the Golden One, Dedicated to transporting the Noise Marines, or Chosen:
Rhino 3 Old School Rhino /w Havoc Launcher:
Rhino 4 aka the only one without a havoc launcher:
And that's it. I hope you enjoy. Comments are welcome.

Nice dude, obviously a lot of work and passion went into this project.
It makes me laugh thinking of some tough Chaos Marine hoping for some cool mutation like a scorpion tail or something, but instead he gets turned into a furry.

The only critique is how poor the scripture and text is painted on the vehicles. Maybe look into a stencil? The flag looks great - but standing above the gloopy text on the tank is jarring

Thanks that was the goal!
And yeah that's a legit critique, I was trying a paint pen out to improve my calligraphy as even with a brush it's not my strongest suit. But it ran badly and when I tried to correct it and clean it, it ended up messing up the paint further. Ultimately I think I should have left it off. But I might try stencils in the future and come back to that.

I really appreciate that. Oh to imagine the look of horror that chaos marine must have had when he woke up with an adorable bunny head and cotton tail. Especially while others mutated into things that are really badass like wolves, cats, a honey badger, hyenas, etc.

To improve calligraphy go spend $20-30 on a LAMY pen and maybe a starting how to book - my GF picked up the hobby last christmas and now can write legit looking script/old english letters and such.
