Thanks Not Online!!! I’m currently enjoying my hobby as it helps take me out of the real world and helps my mental health.

I too find that after a day in the real world it helps to slip into an imaginary world of unspeakable tyranny, sanity-shattering demons and piles of skulls as room decor. It's relaxing to imagine a world so free of stress and trouble.

This thread continues to impress!

Thanks for your inspiring work!

Our hobby allows me to forget my personal/family issues and just drink in the Sci-fi Fantasy world. Thanks for your comments

MeatShield wrote:great progress. The painted hazmats look great, but the rate that you pump out unique traitor is inspiring.

Thanks MeatShield. I alternate between building and painting and I am currently in a painting phase. I have so many cultists/traitor guard that I want to use the new GW Contrast Colours that are out on 16/07. I'm using my existing Contrast and Speed paints but leaving certain areas for the new ones when I get them.

Update time:



I wanted to use some of the Anvil Industries (not) Valhallan heads. I paired it with an Anvil Industries Winter Greatcoat and arms. The legs and Melta gun are from the DKoK range. Milliput was used to fill any gaps.



I wanted to make a kilted barbarian, so I used a bare chest mould (from Mad Robot Miniatures) on a kilt (mould from Victoria Miniatures) on Warcry sandals (again from a mould). Bare arms were from Anvil Industries with a head from a Warhammer Empire Flagellant (I think) and an autogun from the SoB.



This mainly comes from a Bloodbowl figure, I added a Chaos Marauder axe and a new head (not sure where that came from - Necromunda Goliath?)



This Warcry model has had a small axe added, but otherwise is stock.



This swashbuckler comes from Black Scorpion Miniatures. I swopped the miniscule sword with a Deathrattle Skeleton sword and the tiny flint-lock with a DKoK laspistol.

And finally ...



Here's one of my Penal troopers. I added a Chaos icon upon his chest. It's from mould of Victoria Miniature bits (head? and legs) and a Mad Robot Miniatures bare torso with Anvil Industry arms. The feet are from a BSF Chaos Traitor Guard mould.



This Penal trooper has a bare chest from Mad Robot Miniatures. It has moulds of Victoria Miniature bits (head? and legs) and Catachan arms. The feet are from a BSF Chaos Traitor Guard mould and a GSC shotgun.

Please feel to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

I really like the penals, simple yet magnificent effect!

Thanks Not Online!!! I've had fun making the Penal Troopers from lots of different moulds and bits. I'm just finishing off another 6 (including 2 with stolen Penal Jailer uniforms) which I'll show off soon.

Update time:



This Chaos Traitor Guard had a head from a 3D Resin print from Bitzbox which gave it a Medieval look.The body is from a Necromunda Outcast with a FW Chaos Renegade Icon (taken from a mould) as his breastplate. He has a DKoK right arm (with added spikes to the shoulder pad) with a mace from a Chaos warrior. I can't remember where I got the mould for the left arm (could be Anvil or Spellcrow) and added a Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist autopistol. A DKoK lasgun was added on his back with a plasticard strap and clasps made from moulds from the DKoK kit.



This winter warrior has an Anvil Industries head and torso, I added DKoK arms and lasgun (the shoulder pads were carefully removed). The legs were from Cadia for a change. A mould of a DKoK backpack was also added.



This trooper is from a 3D resin print from etsy. I added a 40k feel by using the feet from a DKoK I had spare and used milliput to fill the gaps. I'm waiting for some of the new bright GW Contrast paints for a colour scheme.



This Traitor Guard has an Anvil Industries head, torso and arms with Victoria Miniatures legs. A backpack was added from a mould alongside a holster and Chaos Icon belt buckle. I used a Cadian lasgun to finish.



This Medieval trooper comes from a Necromunda Outcast body with a Warhammer Great Swordsman head. Genestealer Cult arms and autogun were also used. Milliput was also used to fill the gaps.

And some completed models .....



This Penal Trooper was made from Victoria Miniature moulds and a Necromunda Outcast shotgun.



This convict has managed to steal a Prison Guards boots and knee pads. I painted gloss on them to make it have a more shiny effect.



This convict has a Mad Robot Miniatures head, a bare Chaos Icon branded chest (taken from a mould) with catachan arms and a Warcry pair of legs. The loincloth was removed and milliput was used to fill the gaps.



This convict has a bare chest (from Mad Robot Miniatures?) with a flagellants pair of legs. I chose the ones with manacles to tie in with the convict look.



This convict was fun to make. I chose a screaming head and added it to a pair of running manacled flagellant feet that I attached to a converted mould of Victoria Miniature legs. He has taken the gloves, wrist guards and pistol from an unfortunate Prison Guard!!



This has a pair of Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist arms converted to hold a SM knive. Congealed blood was added as usual to all of the blades of my models.

Here's a group shot of my first squad:



I started to write Prisoner numbers across the chest and backs of all the Prison jump suits but found it much easier to use a 0.1mm pen instead.



I love the convict on the furthest right. This Victoria Miniatures torso has modelled whip welts/marks across the back which I think is brilliant!

Please feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

Insectum7 wrote:Holy cow these are amazing! Can't wait to see an army shot of the traitor guard. The hazmat squad is a favorite of mine so far.

Just, wow!

Thanks Insectum7. Once I saw these models on ebay, I knew I had to have them. There were about 15 different models for £9.99, so well worth the investment. There are others I can convert but I need to invest a lot of time to do so (which I don't have at the moment!)

PaddyMick wrote:Great work. I especially love the Hazmat suits, very sinister, and the penal troopers are very interesting. It's one project (but non-chaos) I have had in the back of my mind to do myself so I can certainly take some inspiration from yours.

A theoretical question for you - how would you model a squad manacled together? I know you mentioned you don't game, but imagine that moving them around the table and removing models was a consideration also.

I do recommend Victoria Miniatures for the Penal Troopers, they are great sculpts. As to the manacled together question, the only thing I could think of was to wrap around each squad members neck a length of jewellers chain and then unwrap when you need to remove one of the troopers.

Feel free to copy Guardling. Whenever I see something I like, I'm quite happy to copy

Update time:



This cultist/Traitor Guard has a Mad Robot Miniatures head added to a Necromunda Outcast model. Milliput was used to fill all gaps used.



This is a Black Scorpion Miniatures Highwayman I saw and thought I could convert. The feet were replaced with some Cadian boots I had spare. I removed all of the tiny flintlock pistols he had and added a DKoK pickaxe and Warhammer knife and used milliput to resculpt his belt. DKoK laspistols were then used in each hand. A Chaos Icon was also attached to the side of his belt to show which "side" he is on!!



This Traitor Guard has a Scion torso with a new breastplate (taken from a mould of a FW Chaos Renegade Chaos Icon) and Cadian arms (with spikes added to the shoulderpads). A Warhammer Empire head was added alongside a mould of some legs and Necromunda Orlock boots. A Deathrattle skeleton sword was added to finish.



This "Hazmat/Spacesuit" guy has an Anvil Industries head added to a Necromunda Outcast torso with GS arms and legs. The GS icon was carefully removed from his legs and milliput was then used to fill all of the gaps.



I wanted to make a French Foreign Legion "Beau Geste" like trooper. I used a Mad Robot Miniature head with a DKoK arms, lasgun and body. I used milliput to sculpt the bottom of his trousers (to hide the puttees) and then added a Catachan knife as a bayonet. I removed the shoulderpads with scalpel and files and used milliput as always, to fill any gaps. Finally, a Chaos Icon belt buckle was added.

And to some finished models....



This is my 17th Corinth Conquistadors. I wanted to make it as bright as possible so chose orange and blue contrast paint over a zenithal prime. I added a holstered laspistol to bring him into the 40k world. I added some congealed blood down the sword blade as well.



This model was from the Necromunda Redemptionists. I added an Anvil Industries head and a new breastplate (from the FW Chaos Renegade kit). I converted the chainsaw by removing the flamer and adding milliput to fill the gap around the chainsaw.



This gunslinger is based on a Necromunda Orlock model with a hat taken from a mould from a Black Scorpion Miniatures. If I had to make this again, I would try to get the hat to sink lower down.

Any questions, just ask. Till next time, Phil.

Update time:



I wanted to make a Union Civil War Infantryman after seeing the Mad Robot Miniatures heads. I added a milliput torso with single buttons I had previously converted. The arms and legs were from Cadian troopers with plasticard straps and a CHaos Icon belt buckle.



This Zulu War inspired model has an Anvil Industries head and arms with a mould of a Cadian dress torso and legs with a Necromunda Orlock boots. Epaulettes were added alongside a Chaos Icon dangling from his belt.




This Native American was a 3D resin print from Etsy. I converted him with a Warcry axe with a SM knife and a mould of a holstered laspistol. I added a Chaos Icon (taken from a Chaos Rhino hatch) to his shield to ensure everyone which deity he worships. I think he will look really cool when I eventually get around to painting them.



I wanted some Gladiator-like cultists and saw this on Etsy. I replaced his paltry sword with a Catachan long sword.



This convict has clearly been working out in the prison gym! He is made entirely of moulds apart from the Warcry knives.

And some finished models ....



This is my Chaos 25th Wessex Fusiliers and is based on a WW1/WW2 British Infantryman. He has an Anvil Industries head and arms with a Mad Robot Miniatures torso. I added SM pouches to his chest and a backpack. The legs are from a Cadian mould with puttee and boots from another mould (which I can't remember where from). A DKoK lasgun and SM knife were chosen with a Chaos Icon dangling from his belt.



This is my 12th Palatine Guard. He's from an Etsy 3D print. I converted him by adding a new autopistol, grenade, Cadian knife, Chaos Icon belt buckle and holstered laspistol. I wanted to make him as colourful as possible, so used some of the GW contrast paints and am waiting on the new range that are coming out tomorrow to paint some more!



I saw this Russian Spetnatz Sniper on Etsy and had to have it. I swopped the weapon with this DKoK lasgun and added the sniper scope from the original model. Simple swop but I think it's really effective.

Till next time. Regards, Phil.

Ragsta wrote:Formidably good converting going on here, mate, and loving the painting results on the latest sniper. How do you do your basing? Looks nice! Well, nice is a relative term for the end times obviously…

Thanks Ragsta. There are some amazing 3D prints out there that can be easily converted to 40k. I'm always looking for my next convert. I just trowel on some Ammo from Mig Jimenez Dark Mud Ground and that's it. I'm going for a Vraks/WW1 look for all of these models.

Not Online!!! wrote:The Sniper looks particulary cool.

The Civil war type kitbash honestly is another one of those that would make a lovely full army.

Good job on them once again !

Thanks Not Online. Every one I make I think about making a squad/army of them!!

Update time:



I wanted to make a WW1 like German/Scottish model, so I used a Mad Robot Miniatures head with a Victoria Miniatures torso with GS Cult arms and converted legs. I used a DKoK lasgun with a Chaos Icon, axe and a mini sporran/pouch (taken from a mould from the kilted Victoria Miniatures).



This is a fallen Scion. I used a DKoK kneeling legs and swopped his feet for some BSF Chaos Traitor Guard moulds. I carefully moved the hotshot lasgun hoses and filled gaps with milliputs. I added a Chaos Icon belt buckle and some spikes to the shoulder pads.



I wanted to have a Valhallan/WW2 Russian like model. I used a mould of a Spellcrow model head and added to a mould of a torso and greatcoat legs I made. The blanket was from a mould I had from an original Valhallan model. I used a DKoK arm and a catachan knife for his left arm.



This is based on a Warcry model. I added an Anvil long haired head, bare arms and Bren gun. A Chaos Icon was added alongside a holstered laspistol from a mould. Milliput was used to fill all of the gaps as usual.



This Traitor Guard has a converted Cadian head with a mould of a branded Chaos Icon across his bare chest. Anvil Industries bare arms were used alongside a GS Cult pair of legs. A Lasgun with a Chaos Icon dangling from his belt (instead of the GS logo) was used to finish this one.



This model has a body and legs from a GS Cultist with a pair of Scion arms and an Anvil Industries head. Spikes were added to his shoulder pads to "Chaosify" him!!

And some finished models .....



This is a Black Scorpion Miniatures model. I added some AOS Death Rattle Skeleton swords and a DKoK lasgun slung across his back.



Again, this is a Black Scorpion Miniatures model. I give you an officer from the 6th Royal Ventralis. I converted him by adding a Necromunda Enforcer pistol and a Chainsword and painted him in a 19th Century British Officer style.



This was from a 3d Resin print I bought on Etsy. I converted his small Kalashnikov with a Lasgun and milliput to fill the gaps - simple but I think looks quite effective.

Till next time. Phil.

Update time:



I wanted to make another "Romanesque" like model. I again used a head and torso from Mad Robot Miniatures. They are brilliant parts and really make the model appear to be a heavy assault trooper. I added a DKok right arm (with some spikes added to the shoulder pad) and a bare left arm from Anvil Industries with a Warcry axe. The legs are from Necromunda Outcast legs with a Warhammer Empire sword (just because he didn't have enough weapons!!).



This model has a Catachan bare chested and flak jacket torso with an Anvil Industries head. The Catachan medic arms were converted by adding a BSF Chaos Traitor Guardsman's hands and lasgun. Milliput was used to sculpt muscles and to fill gaps as usual. Although the Catachan medics arms are a bit smaller in scale, I really like them as it allows me to make some left handed models as opposed to the usual right handed. GS cult legs were added alongside some Chaos Icons to show his beliefs!



This is a Black Scorpion Miniatures I converted. I swopped his very small six shooter for a Necromunda pistol and added some Cadian boots (from a mould). The original feet were far to small for my liking. I also used some milliput to make some trouser legs. A Chaos Icon belt buckle was added to finish.



This model has an Anvil Industries head and arms which I added to my Chaos branded bare chest. I used a mould of one of the Cadian legs and added some feet from a BSF Chaos Traitor Guard mould. I used a Catachan Bolter and added some SM Bolter magazines on his belt. I added a holstered laspistol and Chaos Icon belt buckle.



This model has an Anvil Industries head and cross belt buckle torso (from Mad Robot Miniatures?). I used an Adeptus Mechanicus pair of arms as the rifle looked suitably old fashioned. Milliput was used to fill and smooth gaps. I used a pair of Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist legs and added a Chaos Icon dangling from his belt.



I wanted to have a Deep Sea Diver like model to go alongside the Scuba Diver I made and showed previously. I scoured the internet and managed to find the helmet from Zinge Industries - it's slightly smaller than I would like, but it's hardly noticeable. I used a Necromunda Outcast torso and legs which resembled a Deep Sea Divers. I didn't like the scroll on the right shin , so I made a mould of the left one and then carefully removed the right and swopped it. The arms were moulds from Anvil Industries added to a mould of gloves (from a Warhammer Chaos Warrior). I used a Necromunda Enforcer pistol and Catachan knife as weapons. I added a Chaos Icon to his chest to finish. This reminds me very much like a Scooby Doo villain!!!!!!

And to some finished models ....



This is a Chaos 118th Valterian Destroyer. He is based on a Temptus Scion. I went for an Urban colour scheme. I added a spare SM bolter magazine to his belt alongside a Chaos Icon belt buckle. To make him more "Chaos" like, I added some spikes to his shoulder pads as well.




This is my 8th Vatican Bodyguard. The head is from a resin cast from Bitzbox, added to a Catachan arms and lasgun. I used Warhammer Empire puffed sleeves (with milliput to smooth the joins with the Catachan arms) and legs. I used a mould of some BSF Chaos Traitor Guard boots to add some height (the original Warhammer Empire boots made him look incredibly short - they are clearly not "Heroic" scale). The torso was from a mould of a Cadian Officers that I added a Chaos breastplate (taken from a mould from the FW Chaos Renegade torso's). A SM Scout knife was added to his back, alongside a Necromunda Orlock scabbard for him to keep the knife in his left hand when he's not using it. I used some bright contrast colours to paint his uniform and some Retributor Gold for his helmet. I really enjoyed this model and intend on painting all of the similar Warhammer Empire bits models I have made with different paint schemes to show all of the different uniforms that every world and regiment uses.

Feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

Diver Chaos militia

TBH hiding in an ocean is probably the best thing you can do as a chaos miltia.

once again all of them overly tempting to start a themed army with.

If I had unlimited time, I would do multiple armies but alas, 1 or 2 trooper from each regiment is all I can muster!

Update time:



This model has a BSF Chaos Cultist torso with a Catachan chainsword (with some milliput to fill gaps) in his right hand. The knife in his left hand is from Warcry. The legs are from a mould from Anvil Industries and boots from a mould from Mad Robot Miniatures. A plasticard belt was added with a Chaos Icon belt buckle, pouches and holstered laspistol (from moulds). This is how I painted him ....




This is my Chaos 1st Tantiss Shock Trooper. I used mostly contrast paints with a bit of Humbrol rust and GSW Congealed Blood sponged on to different parts of the model.



This model is made mostly from moulds. I wanted to make him look like a fallen Mordian like regiment. I armed him with a Necromundan Outcast las-rifle.



This model is based on a Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist legs and autogun. The Catachan medic arms were used again with milliput used to fill gaps. A Chaos Icon branded bare chest was used with an Empire flagellant head.



This was again mostly made from moulded parts. The head was from an Empire Pistollier and the shot gun was from a Necromunda Outcast.



And finally, I wanted to make an SAS like model. I used a GSC head as it had a great gasmask with a Victoria Miniatures torso. I think the legs were from Spellcrow but I'm not 100%. The arms and weapons are from Anvil Industries. A Chaos Icon belt buckle was added alongside some grenades and holstered laspistol. Milliput was then used to fill all of the gaps.



I give you a Chaos 53rd Hereford Rifles. I wanted to paint them in the style of the 1980's Iran Embassy scheme so chose Vallejo Black Grey to paint the overall's with black for all of the webbing and boots. I also gave him a red visor to assist with night vision with some Flesh Tearer Red contrast followed by a coat of gloss varnish.

Till next time, Phil.

Update time:



This model has an Anvil Industries Zombie head with a mould of a Necromunda Outcast. GSC arms were used with a pair of Cadian legs (with a mould of Cadian boots). Milliput was used as usual to fill gaps.



This Traitor Guard has an Empire Pistollier head and Necromunda Outcast arms. The rest is made of moulds (a Mad Robot Miniatures torso, striped trousers converted from a Cadian with Necromundan Orlock boots).



I made a slight conversion to this giant Necromundan Delaque ganger. I used a mould of a head I've used on my Penal troopers. I also made a holster that I attached to his right side.



I wanted this Traitor Guard to have an 18th Century feel so I gave him an Anvil Industries head matched with a some Adeptus Mechanicus arms.
The torso is a mould from Mad Robot Miniatures, with my striped converted legs and a pair of BSF Traitor Guard boots. A plasticard strap was added to hold his ammo box on his left hip.

And some finished models ....



This is my Chaos 86th Plebian Lifeguards. I bought a few of the new brightest colour contrast paints and wanted to try as many variations as I could. Striking Scorpion, Imperial Fist and the older Snakebite Leather were the main colours used. Congealed blood was sponged on his sabre.



This Chaos Spetznatz originated on Etsy and I swopped the original weapon with an AK47 from Anvil Industries. I wanted to give him a chemical weapons overall so I used some Militarum Green Contrast paint.

And finally..



This is my Chaos 17th Reitling Rangers. He has a Mad Robot Miniatures head and torso with DKoK arms and legs with some milliput sculpted fur trims. He has a Death Rattle skeleton sword and I added some spikes on his shoulder pads. I used Militarium Green Contrast for his coat and over a silver undercoat on their shoulder pad, I added a thin layer of Flesh Tearer Contrast to give a slight metallic look. Rust, mud and blood was sponged on to finish.

Feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Steve. I love loads of your bits and plan on getting more in the future

Update time:



I made this Chaos Cultist from a Warcry model. I "40k'd" it by adding an autopistol from a Dark Vengeance Cultist. I also added a Chaos Icon shield over his left forearm (a mould from a Chaos Warrior) and a moulded holster on his left hip. The head came from a mould of a Necromundan Goliath.



Having bought a Solar Auxilia model from ebay, I made a few moulds of his head and legs to use on this model. I used a Necromunda Outcast for the torso and knife with an Adeptus Mechanicus rifle. A Chaos Icon breast plate was added from a mould from the FW Chaos Renegade torso's.



This Traitor Guard has an Anvil Industries gead, combined with a mould of a Mad Robot Miniatures torso. I sculpted the greycoat legs and added a mould of some Cadian boots. A mould of a Chaos shoulder pad was added with some plasticard straps. It has an Adeptus Mechanicus rifle and a Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist Autopistol. Grenades and a Chaos Icon belt buckle were added to finish.

And some finished models......



I wanted to make an American WW2 GI type squad after seeing the Anvil Industries heads. I used a Mad Robot Miniatures torso and laced up boots (from moulds) with a Cadian pair of legs (again from moulds). The arms are from moulds from Spellcrow. The autorifle came from a SoB model. I added a pair of sunglasses I sculpted from milliput to give him a cool look and to differentiate him as the squad leader. I added a chest mounted holstered pistol, a Catachan knife, grenades with a Chaos Icon belt buckle. I painted him with Militarium Green Contrast for his uniform with Army Painter Camo Cloak Speed Paint for his webbing.



This is my point man. Anvil Industries released some Thompson machine guns as part of their D-Day release recently, so I had to make some models for them. So this has Anvil Industries head and arms, with a Mad Robot Miniatures torso and laced up boots (from moulds). The legs came from a Catachan fighter mould. A Chaos Icon was dangled from his belt. I added a SM Scout pouch and grenade onto his chest harness. A backpack was added from a mould from a Catachan backpack alongside a Catachan knife.



I love this pose - braced and screaming as he's firing - he reminds me of Al Pacino in Scarface!! He has an Anvil Industries head and arms with a Mad Robot Miniatures torso and laced up boots. He has a Catachan pair of legs. The same backpack was used, alongside a Chaos Icon belt buckle, grenades and a Catachan knife.



I wanted to have a running pose, so I converted a pair of Catachan legs and again used Anvil Industries head and arms with a Mad Robot Miniatures torso and laced up boots. Grenades and pouches were added to finish.



This is a group shot of my GI squad so far. I need to look at Anvil Industries and other companies to see what else I can use as I plan on adding more to this group in the near future.

Feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

Ragsta wrote:Some absolutely brilliant hobby efforts right here. Really great modelling and painting, chief!

How do you do your basing? It looks delightfully effective!

Thanks for your comments Ragsta. My basing is very simple to give a WW1 trenches look. I just Ammo's Dark Mud Ground using a sculpting tool and then sponge a bit of mud on their knees, elbows, bottom of skirts and back of their legs. I loved all of the Chaos Renegades that were seen in the Siege of Vraks books and wanted to give mine the same look/feel.

Update time:



I've seen quite a few "Western Cowboy" themed models and when Anvil Industries released their recent models, I knew I had to get some of them. This has the torso, legs and arms from Anvil, with a Necromundan Orlock head (with a hat taken from a mould of one of the Black Scorpion cowboys I also have). The gun is from a Necromunda Enforcer with some milliput to fill in any gaps. I made a new holster on his left and right hip out of milliput to replace the smaller Anvil versions.



When Black Scorpion Miniatures released their new "Clansmen", I knew I had to have them (I've watched too much Outlander!!). They are not heroic scale, so I had to remove his feet and replace them with some boots from moulds from a Necromundan Orlock. I swopped his right hand with a DKoK laspistol to bring him into the 40k universe.



This cultist has an Anvil Industries head with a Mad Robot Miniatures torso. He has Necromundan Outcast legs with SoB arms. Spiked shoulder pads were added alongside a milliput holster.

And to some finished models....



This is another of my Penal Troopers. Apologies for the startled look - it's the best my unsteady hands can do! He is made of moulded milliput (apart from his bolter, knife and magazines).



This Penal Trooper has taken the boots from his old Prison Guard. I used some Cadian arms (with the shoulder pads removed) and gave him a running stance.



Apart from the head and the tip of his lasgun (the original one was too thin and snapped off), this is all Victoria Miniatures. I love these bits and once I saw them, I knew I had to create a few squads of them. I now use Technical pens to write the prisoners numbers as my hand isn't steady enough to use a brush.

Feel free to ask any questions. Till next time, Phil.

Update time:



This Penal trooper has "borrowed" a helmet from one of his guards. He has moulds from Anvil Industries for his head, Victoria Miniatures torso and Mad Robot Miniature legs. Anvil Industries arms, grenades and GSC Autogun were used to finish.



This cultist has a Dark Vengeance cultist body, a Flagellant head and GSC Autogun. Milliput was used to fill gaps and make a glove.



This knock off DKoK has an Anvil Industries zombie head with a mould from Mad Robot Miniatures for his torso, a Dark Vengeance cultist legs/skirt and BSF Traitor Guard boots. He was armed with GSC weapons.

And to some finished models...



This Penal trooper has borrowed quite a few bits of armour from his previous keepers.



Apart from the gun, this model is made up of milliput moulds. I am particularly happy with his manacled feet taken from some Arco-flagellants. I added a length of plastic tubing to make a silenced autogun.



I wanted to give a polished armour look so I added some gloss varnish only to the armour.



And a group shot of my next 7 Penal troopers.

Feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

That's7 Penal troopers with great flavor form the sculpts alone. After paint and basing 1 more awesome unit.

Thanks MeatShield. I've got around another 30 more to paint but I wanted to paint other regiments before coming back to the Penal army

Update time:



I made a small conversion on this BSF Chaos Psyker - I removed the horn on the right hand side of his head as it looked silly and used a small amount of milliput to make it smooth.



I disliked both arms/weapons on this FW Chaos Renegade, so I swopped them with a Chaos SM chainsword and an AOS Chaos dagger.



This Traitor has a FW Chaos Renegade torso with DKoK arms, a Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist axe and a Warcry dagger added through his belt. His legs were from moulds with knee pads taken from a Necromunda Outcast mould and Cadian boots mould.

And to some finished models....



This is my Chaos 28th Reinsberg "Red Devils" Rangers. He is based on a British Para from WW2. He has an Elysian lasgun and an Anvil Industries head.



This is my Chaos Human Bomb. He has an original RT torso but I used a pair of BSF Chaos Cultist running legs to make a more dynamic pose. A pair of muscled Catachan arms were used to finish.




This is my Chaos 116th Ratzburg Life Guard. I went with a French Napoleonic paint scheme. He has an Anvil Industries head and torso is either Mad Robot Miniatures or Anvil Industries. He has DKoK arms and legs with a backpack taken from an old IG kit.



And finally, this is my Chaos 203rd Hungarian Rifles trooper. I loved reading the Gaunts Ghosts novels and see this similar to the enemies they had to face. He has Mad Robot Miniatures head and barbed wire armoured torso. His legs come from a Necromundan Outcast with DKoK arms. Spikes were added to the shoulder pad (from a Dark Eldar weapon) with a pistol from an old Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist. I painted over a metallic base on his shoulder pads to give the thinned red contrast a metallic look.

Please feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

Very nice, looking even better now they're painted!

Update time:



This is my Chaos 29th Janzibar Fusiliers Traitor Guard. He has either an Anvil Industries or Mad Robot Miniatures head (sorry but I can't remember) with a Mad Robot barbed wire torso and Anvil Industries arms. A Catachan lasgun with Cadian legs and Necromunda Orlock boots (both from a mould). He was painted with a mix of GW Contrast and Army Painter Speed Paints. I wanted a "Sons of Sek" feel to this one.



This is my Chaos 209th Mississippi Regulars Traitor Guard. I wanted to make some American Civil War type troopers and painted this one in the colours of the South. He has a Mad Robot Miniatures head, converted Cadian legs (so that they appear to be running), DKoK arms and lasgun with Necromundan Orlock boots (from a mould). The blanket across his chest comes from a mould of an original Valhallan model with extra milliput to fill any gaps. I've completed a trooper from the North and will display this once I finish photographing him (alongside another 40 models).



This is my Chaos 14th Pluvian Royals Traitor Guard. He has an Anvil Industries head with a Necromundan Outcast torso and hands, Empire Outrider arms and Genestealer Cult legs (the GSC icon was removed and replaced with a Chaos one instead). I also added a spike to his shoulder pad (a Dark Elves blade) and an axe on his side for more mayhem in close combat!! I bought the brightest new GW Contrast paints recently as I wanted to have splashes of colours and to show that every regiment has different uniforms.

And finally ....



This is my Chaos 4th Islander Rifles Traitor Guard. He has an Anvil Industries head and arms with a Cadian torso, legs and Necromundan Orlock boots (taken from moulds). The legs have a broad milliput strip added to the outside leg (and then a mould made to help make more in the future). Epaulettes were added (from a mould from an old Mordian guard model). I also added a Chaos Icon to show what God he believes in. I gave him a Slaanesh like uniform in bright blue and pink epaulettes, cuffs and piping. I really like how this model turned out.

As usual, please feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

Update time:



This is my Chaos 20th Janzian Rifles trooper. He has a Mad Robot Miniatures head and torso with a Necromunda Outcast arms with a mould of some Cadian legs (with a milliput stripe added) and BSF Traitor guardsman boots. I wanted to make my new batch as colourful as possible so used some of the new GW Contrast paints.



This is my Chaos 12th New England Pipers trooper. He has an Anvil Industries head and arms, with a Necromundan Esher lasgun, a DKoK torso (legs and backpack) and some Necromundan Orlock boots. Epaulettes were also added (from a Mordian mould) to give a more distinguished look.



This is my Chaos 87th Lupercine Life Guard trooper. He is a Human Bloodbowl player with a laspistol and axe added to "Chaosify" him. Some nice and bright GW Contrast was used in this colourscheme.

And finally ....



This is my Chaos 43rd Halpsberg Rifles trooper. He has a Mad Robot Miniatures head, a Victoria Miniatures torso, with GSC arms and legs with a DKoK lasgun. I wanted to use some GW Soulblight Grey Shade to show off his white armour.

Please feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

Update time:




This is my Chaos 21st Odessan Warriors Traitor Guard. I wanted to make an old fashioned deep sea diver - a real Scooby Doo villain!! I used a Zinge Industries helmet with a Necromunda Outcast body. I moulded the left leg grieve and used it on the right one to give a more symmetrical look and also sculpted some boot weights on as well. A Necromunda pistol and SM Scout knife were also added to finish.



This is my Chaos 72nd Salsburn Fusiliers. He is a Black Scorpion Miniatures model with a AOS Deathrattle skeleton sword and DKoK laspistol. As his original feet were a bit small, I swopped them for some moulds of some BSF Chaos Traitor Guardsman. I wanted to give this model a 'Nelson-like' paint scheme.



This is my Chaos 54th Tongarine Rifles. He has an Anvil Industries head and arms with a Necromundan Outcast torso and flail with a DKoK lasgun. Legs were converted with milliput bands and moulds from Mad Robot Miniatures boots. I wanted to give this model a more Council workman-like feel so painted his trouser stripes with some luminous yellow.



This Chaos Cultist has a Necromundan Outcast head and arms with an Empire flagellant body. He was painted with some muted GW Contrast.

And finally ...



This is my Chaos 23rd Francais Fusiliers. I wanted a French Foreign Legion look so I gave him a Mad Robot Miniatures soft kepi head, torso and boots (from a mould). His legs are a mould from either Anvil Industries or Mad Robot Miniatures ( I can't remember!). I gave him some epaulettes (from a Mordian mould), some chest pouches (from a Space Marine) and an Anvil Industires arms (a DKoK lasgun and an AOS knife). I used a mix of GW Contrast and Army Painter Speed Paint greens to finish the paint job.

Feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

Another diver!

Also the frenchie looks like propper PTSD fuel.

Thanks for your comments Not Online!!! I've got plenty more to show.

Update time:



Here's my Chaos 94th Azael Hussar Trooper. He has a Scion beret head with a Necromundan Outcast body, Anvil Industries arms with GSC legs and autogun. I broke the rifle barrel, so I swopped it with a lasgun barrel. GW Contrast paints were used for most of the model (apart from the silver and gold bits).



This is my Chaos 63rd Ankora Firstborn. He has an Anvil Industries Bearskin with a Mad Robot Miniatures cross belt torso. DKoK arms and legs were used to finish, with some spikes added to his shoulder pads.



This is my Chaos 7th Carrosburg Cavalry Trooper. I wanted to make a George Custer 7th Cavalry-like figure, so used a Mad Robot Miniatures head and torso, with some Anvil Industries arms. The legs are taken from a mould of some Cadian legs with the bottom part of the jacket removed. I also added a thin stripe of milliput down his trouser legs to go with his Necromundan Orlock boots (from a mould). I wanted to make the gun look like a 19th century rifle, so I used the lasgun from a Necromundan Escher with a bit of milliput to fill in the gap between the butt and the lasgun. The yellow Imperial Fist GW Contrast paint was used to provide a contrast for his neckerchief and trouser stripe. He reminds me of one of the Troopers you see on many of John Wayne's films



Alongside the 7th Carrosburg Cavalry Trooper, this is my Chaos 21st New Yorkshire Cavaliers. I saw this model from Black Scorpion Miniatures and thought with a small amount of conversion, it would look like a cool 7th Cavalry Officer. His hands were replaced with some Necromundan Enforcer pistols and some Cadian boots. I used the same 2 coats of Ultramarine Blue GW Contrast and Imperial Fist on his jacket.

And finally, you can't have cowboys without .....



Here's my Chaos 43rd Apalachian Wardogs. This is again from Black Scorpion Miniatures with his legs replaced with the old pewter legs from the Rogue Trader Imperial Guard Human Bomb that I had lying around in the bits box.

Feel free to ask me any questions. Till next time, Phil.

Hi gobert. I plan on doing a group shot in the near future. When I started this project, I set out with thought to make as many different regiments from as many different worlds as I could. So apart from the Chaos Squats and some WW2 American GI's and Vietnam vets, I've tried to make as many unique models as I can. I can imagine my models are vets and are the last ones of their regiments to have survived the long war.

PaddyMick wrote:Great stuff as usual! love the chap with high vis bands round his trousers. Can I ask how you do the bases? Would like to try similar myself.

Thanks PaddyMick. I carefully apply Ammo from Mig Dark Mud Ground on all my bases with some mud sponged onto knees, back of legs etc. to give a Siege of Vraks/WW1 muddy earth look.

Update time:



This is my Chaos 11th Royal Regina Bodyguard. He has a head from a 3D print from Bitzbox with the rest of the parts from the old Empire with Necromundan Escher laspistols added. I wanted to give them a Vatican bodyguard look so went with some Imperial Fist GW Contrast for their uniform.




This is my Chaos 1st Tantiss Shock Trooper. He has a BSF Chaos Cultist head and body, with a Catachan chainsword and Warcry knive. His legs are from an Anvil Industries mould with boots from Mad Robot Miniatures. Lots of equipment was added to give him a veteran look. I really like how this turned out.



This Chaos Cultist is mainly a Necromundan Cawdor model with a Mad Robot Miniatures head and some Necromundan weapons.



This is my Chaos 53rd Hereford Rifles. I wanted to make a SWAT/Special Forces like model, so I used a GSC head with a Mad Robot Miniatures torso, a converted Cadian pair of legs with Anvil Industries arms and MP5. I added a Chaos Icon belt buckle to make sure everyone knows which God he worships.

And finally .....




This is my Chaos 9th Voltane Stormers. He has a Bloodbowl Human Thrower body with a GSC arm and shotgun and an Anvil Industries bullet proof masked head. I added some Chaos Icons (taken from a mould from the FW Chaos Renegades chest plate) to his chest and shoulder pad. A grenade and holstered pistol were added to his belt to finish.

Feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

PaddyMick wrote:Cheers Phil for the answe to my question.
Latest batch looking like some of your best work yet. Red head guy is very intimidating and the shock trooper is super cool, great pose. Also great use of the human thrower model.

MeatShield wrote:Your traitor guard S.W.A.T is amazing. I love this thread.

Thanks PaddyMick and MeatShield

Update time:



This is my Chaos 73rd Benhfield Battalion Trooper. He's got a Mad Robot Miniatures head with a Necromundan Outcast body and arms. I painted him with GW Contrast with some GSW Congealed blood sponged on.



This is my Chaos 17th Armageddon Steel Legion Trooper. I made a mould of the head of an original metal Steel Legionnaire and added some Anvil Industries torso and legs. The arms were converted Cadian with some gauntlets taken from a mould from a Chaos Warrior. The lasgun was taken from the old Imperial Armour accessory sprue.




This is my Chaos 13th French Foreign Legion. He has a Mad Robot Miniatures soft kepi head with a DKoK torso, legs, lasgun and arms. I added a Necromundan Orlock knife as a bayonet. I also used some milliput to sculpt longer trousers. I went with my take on a "Beau Geste" colour scheme. I think this is one of my best models.

And finally ....



This is my Chaos 17th Persius Regiment Trooper. He has an Anvil Industries fur lined hat with a DKoK arms, sniper lasgun, torso and legs. Spikes were added to his sjpulder pads and I also sculpted some fur around his cuffs to give him a more winter feel.

Feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

blockade23 wrote:
Looking awesome! Loving the individual schemes. Will you actually run these as an army (IE a la Guard or as actual 'cultists' in a chaos army)?

To be honest blockade23, I don't game, just model and collect so this is purely a modelling project. I would say there are more fallen regiments than cultists, so would say they should follow the guard rules??

Update time:



This is my Chaos 56th Valsberg Volunteers trooper. He has a free head given by Spellcrow and once I saw the hat, I thought of Valhallan's and the Wermacht on the Russian Front. I used some moulds for a torso and greatcoat legs, with a DKoK arm and a mould of a Spellcrow left arm (with a Catachan knife). I added a rolled blanket across his torso (taken from a mould from an original Valhallan model) with a Chaos icon belt buckle. I used some milliput to make a fur collar and mostly GW Contrast paints to finish.



This is my Chaos 118th Royal Talheim Fusiliers trooper. He has a Mordian cap and epaulette (taken from a mould), a head (from a GW kit), a torso (from a Mad Robot Miniatures mould), Necromundan Outcast right arm (with a Catachan knife added as a bayonet), an Anvil Industries left arm, a pair of Cadian legs (converted to a running pose and a stripe of milliput down the side) and some Necromundan Orlock boots (from a mould). A Chaos Icon was added as a necklace and again, some bright GW Contrast paint was used for his uniform.



This is my 173rd Valheim Grenadiers trooper. He has an Anvil Industries Tri-Horn head and cross belt torso with a Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist pair of legs. He has Adeptus Mechanicus arms and rifle to give him a more historic look. He was painted again with mainly GW Contrast paints.

And finally.....



This is my Chaos 23rd Tobrukian Rifleman. I wanted to make a WW2 Desert Rat like model. He has an Anvil Industries head, arms and Bren gun with a mould from a Mad Robot Miniatures torso and some Catachan legs converted to make long shorts with some 3D resin socks/boots. I gave him a washed out sand coloured uniform with some more GW paints.

Feel free to ask any questions. Till next time, Phil.

Update time:



This is my Chaos Sons of Salzbeim. He was a FW Chaos Renegade which I converted with a Chaos SM Chainsword and a Warcry dagger. He had his tunic painted in Sons of Horus Green - not sure which he legion he worships!!



This is my Chaos 21st Sandheim "Screaming Banshees" trooper. She has a Necromundan Outcast body, arms and shotgun with a SoB head. GW Contrast paint was used throughout.



This is my Chaos Vietnam Tigers trroper. He has a Mad Robot Miniatures slouch hat and torso with Anvil Industries arms and M4/M16? He has Catachan legs taken from a mould with some BSF Traitor Guardsmen boots (again from a mould). I wanted to give him a Vietnam Green Beret colour scheme, so attempted some tiger stripes.



This is my Chaos 53rd Catachan "Scorpions". He has an Anvil Industries head and arms, a Catachan torso, a GSC pair of legs with a BSF Traitor Guardsman lasrifle. All GSC icons were removed and Chaos icons were substituted. Milliput was then used to fill all of the gaps. I gave him a simple Catachan paint scheme with GW Contrast and Army Painter Speedpaints.

And finally....



This is my Chaos 11th Marionberg Cavalry Trooper. He has a GW Empire Pistolier head with a Mad Robot Miniatures torso. Necromundan Outcast arms and shotgun were matched with legs from a Victoria Miniatures (from a mould and converted with a stripe down the leg) and a pair of Necromundan Orlock boots (again from a mould). I added some epaulettes (taken from a Mordian Guard mould) to finish the model and went with a Napoleonic like paint scheme.

As ever, feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

That actually comes on the FW Chaos Renegade model - not something I added myself. I do miss the old FW Chaos Renegades conversion kits.

Guardling wrote:Lots more new and interesting minis there, keep up the good work!

Thanks Guardling

Update time:



This is my Chaos 32nd Solar Auxillia regiment trooper. He has a Necromundan Outcast body and legs. I took a mould of his left leg greave and then swopped out his right leg greave (had a silly scrap of paper nailed into it). His head was taken from a mould of a Solar Auxillia model I bought on ebay, with some Anvil Industries arms and Cadian lasgun.



This is my Chaos Psycher taken from a BSF kit. I gave him a leopard skin sash to make him stand out more than he already does.



This is my Chaos 227th Elysian Drop Trooper. I bought parts from ebay and from bits sites and adeed a Chaos Icon belt buckle to show what side he's on. They are lovely models BUT are really small compared to other 40k models.



This is my Chaos 67th Platbern Pure Blood Trooper. He has a Necromundan Outcast body with a GSC right arm and autogun with a Spellcrow left arm (taken from a mould). His head is from the old Empire Pistoliers kit with a sword from another old Warhammer kit. I wanted to give him a really bright paint job to show not all Chaos infantry are caked in mud, so chose some GW Contrast paints.

Feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

Update time:



This is my Chaos 15th Zarlsberg Yeomanry. He is a resin model I bought on Etsy. I removed his halberd and added a DKoK lasgun and a little bit of milliput to fill any gaps resulting from the conversion. A holstered laspistol was also used to reinforce the 40k universe.



This is my Chaos 7th Numian Shock Trooper. He has an Anvil Industries head with a Necromundan Outcast torso (from a mould). GSC arms and legs were used to complete. All GSC icons were carefully removed from his legs so that his loyalty can't be called into question!



This is my Chaos 21st Arkham Motorised. He has a FW Renegade torso with a converted Anvil Industries right arm (from a mould) and Cadian left arm. A SoB auto-rifle was added with Cadian legs (from a mould) and some BSF boots (taken from a mould). An axe from a Warcry kit was added to his belt and a Dark Eldar spike added to his shoulder pad to "Chaosify" him.



This is my Chaos 53rd Anaheim Avengers. He has a Baneblade Captain head added to a Necroumundan Outcast torso and arms. GSC legs were used to match the ribbing on his forearms and torso. I painted him using some bright GW Contrast paints to give him an Aztec/Bloodbowl team feel.

And finally.....



This is my Chaos 17th Moskari Regiment. He is a Black Scorpion Miniatures with a Wyart Earp feel. I swopped out his dinky six shooter with a Necromundan pistol. I added milliput to bulk out his thin legs and added some Cadian boots (taken from a mould). A Chaos Icon belt buckle was also added to finish.

Please feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

Almost, almost a great kit. I love what you're doing with it. I have 20 shotgun Arbites from it I have to paint up.

I look forward to seeing all those Arbites painted up Kid Kyoto

muette wrote:Great modelling/kitbashing, and now great painting. This will be an excellent army!

Thanks muette. I'm really enjoying building this army. I'm enjoying the creative freedom of building multiple different regiments from lots of different sources.

Update time:



First of all, apologies for the slight blurring on this photo. This is my Chaos 86th Karobeam Irregulars. He has an Anvil Industries head and a mould of either a Mad Robot Miniatures or Anvil Industries torso. Converted Cadian legs and boots from a BSF Traitor Guardsman from moulds were also added. Adeptus Mechanicus arms and weapons and a DKoK bayonet were used, alongside a Chaos Icon attached to his belt to finish this model.



This is my Chaos 31st Flaxsberg Light Foot. He has an Anvil Industries head with a Mad Robot Miniatures (from a mould). I added a DKoK backpack with some milliput straps alongside DKoK arms and weapons. Kilted legs from Victoria Miniatures were partnered with a Chaos Icon belt buckle. I went for some bright GW Contrast paints for this uniform.



This is my Chaos 24th Dramgerb Rifles. The head, body and legs come from a BSF Traitor Guardsman. I swapped the lasgun on the original model (and used it on another Catachan like model) and used some Cadian arms and DKoK hands and weapons.



This is my Chaos 34th Plutovian Auxilia. He has a head and legs/boots taken from moulds from a FW Solar Auxilia model I bought on ebay. I used a Necromundan Outcast torso with some Adeptus Mechanicus arms. A mould from the FW Chaos Renegades was also used for his chest armour.

And finally....



This is my Chaos 27th Gettylarn Grenadiers. He is a Black Scorpion Miniatures model and reminds me of an old fashioned highwayman. I swopped his boots with some Cadian boots (from a mould) and swopped his flint lock pistols with some DKoK las pistols. I removed the flimsy daggers tucked into his belt and replaced them with a DKoK axe and an Astra Militarium knife and some milliput to complete the sash. A Chaos Icon was also added to sash to show his allegiance.

As always, feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

I'd wish we would get something like that for GSC.

Hopefully with the imminent new Imperial Guard releases, we'll see some more regiments that I and others can convert

Thanks gobert. I enjoy the creativity and mental well-being I feel by doing this hobby. As stated above, I hope there will be some new regiments in the future Imperial Guard releases. I've bought some of the new Imperial Navy Breachers and am in the process of "Chaosifying" them

Update time:



This is my Chaos 14th Plemblast Rifleman. He has a FW Chaos Renegade torso, with a GSC right arm and Necromundan Outcast left arm and legs. I liked the armoured rusted metal plates look and gave him a touch of Slaanesh with his lilac/pink uniform.



This is my Chaos 38th Volksheim Light Dragoon. He has a Dark Vengeance cultist body with a BSF head (from a mould). He's been painted with a mix of GW Contrast and Army Painter Speed Paints.



This is my Chaos 17th Harksboro Heavy Cavalry trooper. He has an Anvil Industries head with a Mad Robot Miniatures torso. His arms and legs are from the DKoK and boots from a Necromundan Orlock mould. I swopped his DKoK club with a more meatier Dark Vengeance cultist one. I wanted his uniform to be bright and used some of the newer GW Contrast paints.



This is my Chaos 11th Flanderville Volunteer. I wanted a WW1 British Tommie look for this model. It involved a simple head swop - I added an Anvil Industries head to a DKoK body, arms and legs. Some spikes were added to his shoulder pad, a Chaos icon dangling from his belt and a Necromunda knife was used as a bayonet. I tried to make the paint scheme muted and ensured his puttees were covered in mud.

And finally....



This is my Chaos 83rd Jakkovite Royals trooper. He is a Human Bloodbowl player with a Death Rattle Skeleton sword. Some metallic red paint from Army Painter was used on his armour with some GW Contrast for his white uniform.

As usual, feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

 Guardling wrote:
Wow! How you keep coming up with ideas is beyond me!
The Jakkovite guy is my favourite this week

Thanks Guardling. I take inspiration from lots of historical sources and what bits I have/can get to make a lot of my conversions. I like the challenge of making each model as unique as possible.

Update time:



These are my Chaos Elucidian Starstriders. I bought a couple from a bits company and decided (as usual) to make a few moulds so I can make some more. The one on the left has had the silly cigar in his left hand removed and replaced with a Blooded knife. The head was also turned to face the front as well. The middle one had a simple conversion of swopping the Imperial Eagle belt buckle with a Chaos Icon. The one on the right is made up from moulds. I had to use an original gun barrel and magazine (it was too difficult to mould these parts) and a right shoulder pad from a Traitor Guard. A spike was added to his left shoulder guard as well. The shield was taken from a mould from an Imperial Navy Breacher Endurant with a Chaos Star added to finish.



This is my Chaos Norseman. He started life as a Bloodbowl Norseman and had his hands swopped with a DKoK laspistol and a Warcry axe. I added a blade onto his left shoulder pad and attached his shield to his back.



This is my second Chaos Norseman. He is a Warcry warrior with an old Chaos Warrior axe and autopistol added. I added a small Chaos Icon dangling from his belt.



And this shot shows the shields upon their backs.

Now to show some more finished models ....



This is my Chaos 73rd Darkland Death Trooper. He has a DKoK torso, arms and legs with a BSF Traitor Guard boots. A Necromundan knife was added as a bayonet and a resin head was used to finish. Spikes were also added to his shoulder guards to give an even more Chaos look.



This is my Chaos 26th Nedland Rifles. He has a FW Chaos Renegade head and torso with DKoK arms and a Dark Vengeance axe. His legs and boots are from a mould from a Cadian with some knee pads added from a Necromundan Outcast mould. Spikes were added onto his shoulder pads and a knife from Warcry was added to his belt. I painted the uniform in bright orange and green GW Contrast paints.



This is my Chaos 53rd Sherwood Light Infantry. He has a Mad Robot Miniatures head and torso, DKoK lasgun and arms and a Necromundan Outcast legs. A plasticard strap was added to hold his lasgun across his back. Spikes were added as usual to his shoulder pads. I painted the uniform in a mix of Army Painter Speed paints and GW Contrast greens, using Errol Flynn's Robin Hood as inspiration.

Feel free to ask and questions as usual. Regards, Phil.

Update time:



Here's another WW1 "Tommy". It has a resin head from Bitzbox with a DKoK arms, body and legs. A FW Chaos Renegade breast plate (from a mould) was added and a Catachan backpack (from a mould). Spikes were added on his shoulder pads as usal.



This is a Warcry Chaos Dwarf/Squat. This was a simple conversion. I moved the left hand slightly to point the sword in a slightly different direction as if pointing towards his next victim.



This conversion has a Chaos Cultist body, arms and legs with the head taken from a mould from a Traitor Commissar. Milliput was used to seamlessly join the head with the body.

And some finished models ...



This is my Chaos 45th Landsberg Cavaliers. He has an old Empire head with a Victoria Miniatures torso. The legs are converted with Necromundan Orlock boots (from a mould). A DKoK laspistol and Death Rattle sword were used to finish. GW Contrast and Army Painter Speed Paints were used.



This is my Chaos 34th Oppensberg Dragoons. He has an old Empire head with a Necromundan Outcast body and legs with a GSC autogun. I really like the GW Contrast Gryphound orange and used a complimentary colour for the uniform.



This is my Chaos 22nd Rinnteim Drop Trooper. He has an Anvil Industries head with a Necromundan Outcast torso. His legs were converted with a mould of some kneepads. DKoK arms were used and I made a mould of some grenades and added them to his belt. I used a black and yellow paint scheme for this model.



This is my Chaos 43rd Klondersdyke Heavies. He has a Bitzbox resin head with a Necromundan Outcast body and legs. DKoK arms were used with a Chaos Warrior mace. A FW Chaos Renegade breast plate was added with a plasticard strap to hold his lasgun across his back.

And finally ..



This is my Chaos 33rd Iranberg Specials. I wanted to make an SAS trooper circa 1980 after seeing this Anvil Industries head. I added this to an Anvil Industries torso, arms, legs and MP5. His lace up boots were taken from a mould from Mad Robot Miniatures. A Chaos Icon was added to his belt buckle alongside some grenades and knife. GW Contrast was used to complete this model.

Feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

 gobert wrote:
More amazing characters Phil! You’re getting some really dark recesses on the minis, are you washing them with Nuln oil or just using something like slapchop to get the effect?

Thanks for your comments gobert. In answer to your question, I do a bit of both. I batch slapchop a number of models (black primer and then drybrush light grey followed by a lighter brush of white) and in the case of mainly skin tone I use brown primer, drybrushed skin tone and then a lighter drybrush of white. Then I use pre-dominantly GW Contrast and Army Painter Speed Paints. As this is quite labour intensive on the amount of models I do at the same time, I do occasionly basecoat with white primer and then just use Contrast and Speed Paints. I only use Nuln oil on metallics and then a light drybrush of gunmetal to restore the shine.

Update time:




I wanted to have a kneeling grenade launcher who could lob grenades over obstacles. The torso and legs are from a DKoK model with a left boot from a mould of a BSF Traitor Guard. The head and arms are from the new Chaos "Blooded" kit. I know our hobby is not real life, but I hate it when I see models without any spare ammo or any close combat weapons. As I didn't think he had enough ammunition, I made a mould of the grenades and added some more to his gun strap on his webbing and around his belt.




I wanted to have a kneeling sniper alongside the normal standing one you can make straight from the "Blooded" kit. So I used the kneeling DKoK legs again with the left boot from a mould of a BSF Traitor Guard. The torso was from a Mad Robot Miniature mould. Arms, head and cloak were taken from the "Blooded" kit. I used milliput to fill in the gaps between the plastic parts of his cloak.



This is my fallen Tanith warrior. A simple conversion of removing the Imperial Eagle from his belt and las gun.



I don't like many of the heads from the new Chaos Cultist kit, so I did a head swop with a mould from a resin head I use on my Penal troops. Milliput was used to sculpt a new neck. Simple, but I think very effective.

And a final WIP ....



This is one of my Chaos Navy Breacher squad/Kill Team. I made a mould of the ballistic vest that came with the Imperial Navy Breacher kit. After watching too many war films, I added a GSC demo charge onto his chest, alongside the one he carries in his left hand. Lots of grenades were added on his belt as well as a Chaos Icon can be seen dangling from his belt.

Here's some completed figures....



This is my Chaos 77th Wormstag Auxilia trooper. He has an Anvil Industries head with a GSC torso and legs (with all GSC iconography removed). Scion arms were then used to finish. He was painted in the usual GW Contrast and Army Painter Speed paints.



This is my Chaos 23rd Plenzneim Drop Trooper. He again has a GSC torso and legs (with all GSC iconography replaced with Chaos Icons) and GSC arms. An old Imperial Guard head from the bits box was used to give a Drop Trooper feel.

And finally ....



This is my Chaos 33rd Darkstein Dragoons. He has either an Anvil Industries or Mad Robot Miniatures head (I can't remember!!) I used moulds of a torso, legs and boots and a pair of Adeptus Mechanicus arms which had the old fashionned rifle I was looking for. I gave him a Slaanesh look by trying some pink paint for a change.

As usual, feel free to ask any question. Regards, Phil.

Update time:



For this Chaos Cultist, I did a simple head and left hand swop. I don't like the existing heads of the new Chaos Cultists, so I used a mould of the shouting Traitor Commissar head instead. Milliput was then used to sculpt a new neck and muscles. A spare chainsword was then used for his left hand.



This Traitor Guard started life as a Warcry Chaos Legionnaire. I replaced the sword and shield with a "Blooded" lasgun to give him a charging bayonet stance. I liked the boots and bodice on this model and made some moulds which I will use to make some more models in the future. Milliput was then used to fill any gaps.



This "Blooded" Traitor Guard had a simple weapon swop. I liked the meat cleaver in the set and got a second from a bits site and used them in both hands. The head was again taken from a mould of the Traitor Commissar.



This is another of my Chaos Navy Breachers. I built him straight from the box BUT added a Chaos Icon across his chest plate (made from a mould from a FW Chaos Renegade torso - whilst the milliput was still flexible, I carefully placed it upon the chest plate and then removed the excess when it had dried). I gave him a holstered pistol from a mould from an Elucidian model, alongside a spike on his left should guard.



This Chaos Navy Breacher has a torso with a Chaos Icon across the chest plate. I made a mould, so I can make more of these in the future. The rest of the model comes straight from the box. I added some grenades to bling him up a bit.

And some finished models ....



This is my Chaos 29th Valhallan Infantryman. He has an Anvil Industries head and torso, paired with DKoK arms and legs. His boots are from a Cadian. GW Contrast and Army Painter Speed Paints were used over a slap chop basecoat.



This is my Chaos 65th Blythberg Royal Guard. He has a Cadian head with Anvil Industries bare arms and a Catachan lasgun. This was matched with GSC legs with the iconography replaced with a Chaos Icon. The bare chest with a Chaos Icon carved into the chest was taken from a mould I made. Milliput was then used to fill all gaps, sculpt muscles etc. I chose pastel colours on this model to reinforce a "Royal Guard" look.



This is my Chaos 44th New York Royal Guard. used a Mad Robot Miniatures head paired with Cadian arms (with the shoulder pads carefully removed) and legs. His torso comes from a mould I have previously made. I added a DKoK backpack and some grenades to finish. I wanted to give a Civil War Union soldier look, so I used the appropriate colours. This will go next to my "Confederate" like trooper I showed previously.

And finally ....



This is my Chaos 25th Deadsville Pistoliers. This is a Black Scorpion Miniatures that makes me think of Wyatt Earp. I swopped his dinky 6 shooters with a pair of DKoK laspistols and his tiny feet with some Cadian boots and some milliput to sculpt fuller trousers.

Feel free to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.

An endless line of unique & awesome traitors! How many planetary systems will be lost to this rabble!

Thanks MeatShield I can imagine quite a few planets falling to these degenerates!!!

Update time:



This is a simple head swop from a mould from a GSC facemask wearing head. I thought it works well with the "Blooded" shotgun and shield wielding enforcer.



This is another of my Breacher squad. I thought the chainfist looked a bit short, so I removed the existing one and replaced it with a chainsword bayonet taken from a Horus Heresy Space Marine. I think this would allow easier breaches without making him too clumsy - he just needs to remember not to scratch his bum!!! I added my usual Chaos Icon across his chest plate and then added a holster with a small plasticard strap to make it look more realistic. I have almost finished painting up this squad and will show some photo's in the near future.



This is my CAT driver. I made moulds of an Imperial Navy Breacher legs and added these to the kneeling DKoK legs. I again added the customary Chaos Icon across his chest plate but the rest was made straight from the kit.

And some finished models ....



This is my Chaos 99th Royal Reginplatz Rifles. He has an Anvil Industries head with a torso from Mad Robot Miniatures (the mould resulted in some missing buttons, so I used a knife to give the impression of button holes). The great coat legs were made from milliput with some Cadian boots. He has an ornate AM rifle and Cadian left arm with some spikes added to the shoulderpad. I went with a red paint scheme for this one.



This is my Chaos 83rd Wedgefarm Weaver. He has an Anvil Industries ballistic mask head, bare arms and AK-47 with a GSC torso. His legs are from an old Warhammer Empire model with BSF boots (taken from a mould). I used GW contrasts mainly for this one.



This is my Chaos 34th Dieppe Commando. He has an Anvil Industries Beanie hat head with a torso and running legs taken from moulds. His boots are from a Necromundan Orlock mould with DKoK arms. I wanted to give him a WW2 British Commando vibe, so I made the lasgun resemble a silenced sten gun by adding some AM weapon bits - a horizontal magazine and a silencer. Chest pouches were added from an old SM kit, with spikes added to his shoulder pads and a Chaos Icon belt buckle to prove which side he is on. Shades of green were used on this one, GW Contrast and Army Painter Speed Paints.



This is my Chaos 227th Death Korps of Krieg trooper. This is one of the few models made almost entirely straight from the box. The only things I added was a Chaos Icon belt buckle, some spikes on his shoulder pads and a Khorne icon taken from my bitz box. I gave him a black and red uniform with a skull mask on his gasmask.

And finally ....



This is my Chaos 31st Gosttreim Grenadiers. He has an Anvil Industries bearded head with a GSC torso, arms and legs. I used Flesh Tearer red for his uniform and some Striking Scorpion contrast for his pads and gloves.

As usual, feel free to ask any questions.

Regards, Phil.

Nice work, looking forward to seeing those Breachers!
Haha the thought seeing some matching uniforms might be a bit weird coming from you!

Thanks Guardling. It did feel strange when I painted the first 12 Breachers in the same paint scheme!!!

Update time:

I've recently finished painting the first 12 Navy Breachers and wanted to show some more WIP shots before I show the completed models.



This will be my Navy Breacher Sergeant. I made moulds and used these to make the torso and legs. I added one of my Penal Legion bald heads and a chainmail veil from a mould from a Warcry Chaos Legionnaire. I used the Imperial Navy Breacher arms but used a power sword instead as a weapon. The banner pole is from the "Blooded" Kill Team.



I really love this model. I haven't attached the shield or weapon to assist ease of painting. I used a mould of the Traitor Commisar's head for this model as he has a gnarly snarling face. I added the usual Chaos Icon across his chest plate and also gave him a small Chaos Icon hanging from his belt. I removed all of the Imperial Navy iconography from the heavy shield and used a mould of a Chaos Icon alongside a spitted skull from the "Blooded" kill team kit.



Here's a Grenadier I made almost straight from the box. I added a Chaos Icon across the chest plate and a small one hanging from his belt and a small spike from the shoulder pad.



And the final Breacher I've taken photo's of. This is the "fireman" Breacher. I only added a Chaos Icon across his chest plate and a barbed spike on his shoulder pad.

Here are some shots of some completed models ....



This is my 5th American GI I've made. It's made from mainly milliput parts with a Zinge Industries Tommy gun and a free Spellcrow head I received when I placed a small order with them. I painted him in my usual GW Contrast and Army Painter Speed Paints to match the rest of his squad. I showed loyalty by adding a Chaos Icon belt buckle.



This is my Chaos 25th Claudius Cohort. He has a Mad Robot Miniatures head and torso with a Necromundan Outcast legs. He has a DKoK right arm and a Warcry Darkoath Savages left arm. I used some rust paint on the armour to show its state of disrepair.



This is one of my Chaos Berzerker. He is a Warcry Darkoath Savage with his left hand shield swopped for an autopistol.

And finally ....



This is a Chaos Duelist. They are based on a Warcry model with a Mad Robot Miniatures Chaos Cultist head. I used milliput to sculpt the neck and painted the head mask to resemble a human skin mask.

Feel free to ask any questions.
