Wow, I'm flattered. I just started the hobby myself recently so it's amazing to get such awesome feedback.

Well, here's the Chosen unit I talked about a few days ago. I tried to make them look like a sniper team, complete with a spotter. The camo-cloaks are there to represent the unit's infiltrate ability.

The sniper rifles are made from cut-up bolters, pistol holders, and the exhausts from the Chaos Jetpacks. The front of the barrels are pieces of sprue and the mounting polls are knife handles.

What do you think?

Oh wow! Great idea, and really well pulled off too!

I like them.



A lot

Your creativity is un-paralleled. Great work! keep it up

Looks awesome. I think you should try to use a brighter highlight though.

I posted my Land Raider on Cool Mini or Not.

Next up are a unit of Raptors. I'll have some pics soon.

Oh, I love me some Raptors! Can't wait to see how they come out!

I'M NOT WORTHY!!!!! Seriously though, you are doing an amazing job, and your creativity is unparalleled.

Well, here's the promised Raptor squad. I bought a set of 5 Space Marine jump packs and converted some CSM marines to be raptors. They're all suspended in the air by using a paperclip attached to the basing. I tried to make some dynamic poses and the Champion (with Powerfist) has a slave he's captured from some human colony.

What do you think?

The feet are abit chunky, but other than that, LAVLEE

I love the Champion dragging his slave/victim around. Nicely done.

This thread is quite impressive.
Though I shudder to think how much you've spent on Green Stuff so far xD (Have you considered trying Millliput?)

I'll follow this with interest.

Thanks, but I haven't used that much Green Stuff yet. I bought a pack for $17 from my FLGS and I've only gone through about half of it.

Yeah... Greenstuff even in bulk isn't that cheap... and really - you've used a lot (and to good effect!) but having switched to Milliput I'm not switching back! xD (Easier to work with + cheaper) But then I could never get GS to work exactly how I wanted anyway....
Whatever works (Babbling of a madman atm)

What's next on the agenda?

Lots of great inspiration here - well done!

I'll definitely be reviewing your work again as I get started into my own chaos force!

Subbed!

Your conversion work is commendable. I love the daemon with the "meat puppet", and the counts-as defiler's control cowl is very reminiscent of the means by which the Locust in the Gears of War series control their Brumaks.

I have to say, a lot of the scratchbuilding I see that is done as a means to save money comes out rather poorly, but yours is quite the opposite. Keep up the good work.

Well, I stopped having nearly as much time for the hobby as I wanted and my Necrons have turned into my primary force... so, my CSMs are for sale!

Although I'm not the best at painting, my conversion work is very unique and will be a great addition to anyone's army! Specifically, you will get:
-Winged Daemon Prince with a puppet
-Winged Maggot-looking Deamon Prince
-6 Plague Marines with plague tanks and gas masks
-Khorne Idol Rhino
-Tentacle Monster Rhino
-Tentacle Monster Land Raider
-3 Custom Obliterators / Mutilators
-6 Chosen (Sniper-themed)

I can include the extra vanilla troops and Berzerkers if anyone is interested.
