So I have decided that I want to make a very stylized and custom pleasure cult if you will. I have always had a fondness toward noise marines and especially the Emperors children. I like that they give into their desires and live extremely. Of course this is comming from a guy who always thought jedi were lame and that the syth had it right all along

So to start I had two boxes of chaos terminators and a terminator lord from a couple years back that have been lying around and I decided I would make one box and the lord into some sonic terminators.

I have some various progress shots here I have the bases pretty much done and these are ready for paint. I Used some custom blasters that my brother had sculpted for some space lizard commandos for another gentlemen and he has loads of left over weapons these lizard shotguns made good sonic weapon stand ins for my purposes. I simply pinned them to the terminators and then used guitar string as the cable which is anchored to their backs. In game I will use them as combi weapons of whatever type I want depending on list. They then all have personalized lightning claws as I find the best load out to be a combi blaster and lightning claw on noise marines termies.

First up is one of my favorites, I tried for a "steed like" face using a beaky mask. He has a lightning claw from the warp talon box.
Spoiler:



Next is the champion and my first trial run model. His head is from the tank sprue and his claw is the power first with all the fingers swapped out for pincer halves from demonette claws. The face on his leg was sculpted and stamped for the one posted aboves chest piece.
Spoiler:



This guy I have mixed feelings about, he has a cool ninja look but I think when he has some paint he will come together better for me. If not there is always another box on my shelf
Spoiler:



Here I have my second beaky mask convert (had to have at least two with helmets) His claw is made from a chainfist with the fingers and saw replaced with seekers claws.
Spoiler:




Finally the squad is rounded out with one of if not my favorite heads from the old mutation sprue, nothing screams slaanesh more then the guy with his mouth fused shut and his eyes blinded by a leather thong
Spoiler:






This is the chaos lord, I wanted to make a model of lucious that was done right, may6be I have missed the target but I wanted his armor to have those shrieking faces and his face to be similar to lucious but I wanted him to be slightly different. Insane looking but not terrible in game I guess is what I was aiming for He will have the cape that comes with the terminator lord kit.
Spoiler:





Finally I have a side shot of the blaster I used.
Spoiler:


This is my first PM blog so let me know what you all think of these guys so far, I have some sonic bikers next on my list, I plan to use some torsos that I sculpted and cast from resin with some old SM bikers I have collecting dust and the helmets from the new raptor kit.

Edit* Oh and this is my 1800th post! I also need to give thanks to my wonderful girlfriend who photographed all my stuff or else I would never have started a blog

Well I am not 100% set on the color scheme. I do love me some purple but I want to make them very punchy and was thinking of going the warlock purple/pink and clack route.


Until then you can feast those eyes on these pics my girl friend took to adjust her camera settings You know, since you demanded paint and all

Spoiler:








I did these several years ago and they aren't my best but I still love them despite dying horrible deaths more often then not Theres 7 total plus the jugger lord for theme.

My sonic bikes will be a real challenge!

Wow dude! seriously cool models and converted after my own heart I love a good cut & paste conversion that uses parts from other models to convey a unified theme, you've put some good thoughts and ideas to brilliant use! the subtle conversions are my favorites like the swapping out of the claws etc. and I must find that mutation head for my own Slaanesh force

subbed like a boss!

Thanks guys I really appreciate the support from such awesome modelers!

Hmm I am debating on how to configure these bikes, Not sure if I want to make them choppers or jetbikes. What do you guys think sounds more Slaaneshy?

Nothing makes you want to give the Emperor the finger like riding a chopper! Love the termies by the way, using faces on the lords chest and giving the whole unit abs is genius. Consider me a fan.

The Emperor cannot solve your problems, the Emperor is your problem.

How about racing bikes, something to give them a thrill (speed freaks).

I would have to say jet bikes. And if you can make them ninja street bikes while squeezing an engine in and perhaps a pair of boobs I would droll over such model.

@ smallvictory: Thanks man I appreciate the feedback!

Ha ha so I have a vote for chopper, street and jet bikes each! It's important to mention that I am or plan to use existing old SM bikes.

I thought of a way to mod them as jet bikes using jet packs, but it would require using jet packs and bikes ha ha which would place pressure on my raptor unit later. Perhaps its time to hit the plastic card, but I thought of a cool idea at work today.

I thought of keeping them on wheels but focusing on the gas tanks and fenders of each one. Like one could have a wretched spine run down its axis with hooked ribs around the tank and heading with stretched face and mouth with the front wheel coming out of it! Perhaps I should do one (I tend to like to mod units as wholes to keep design consistent) and see how it works.

I thought of another as being a nude woman, breasts on tank and head tilted back between bars with arms holding the front wheel. Again it may be a PITA to get right ha ha.

Any ideas on how to mod an existing SM bike to a street rider? Hardest part would be the leg placement and getting the riders head to tilt up that far I'd imagine.
