The Brodium guy looks ace! The blood on his mace is perfect. It’s certainly met a few heads recently, which makes his pose even more menacing


Thanks gobert for your comments

Thanks Not Online!!! I'm looking forward to the new Necromunda Outcasts - lots of opportunities to make some really cool regiments!

Update time;

First of all, I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas with Santa bringing you all of your hobby desires.



Here's my Chaos Catachan "27th Weavers" trooper. I used a Catachan head and torso with an Anvil Industries pair of legs. I believe the shotgun came from the Genestealer Cult.





Here's a Chaos Janville Hussar. I used an Anvil Industries head and torso with Cadian legs and left arm. I used a Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist powersword and a Catachan right arm with a Blackstone Fortress Traitor Guard laspistol,



And here's my final update for today.....



My Chaos Stalincow Lancer Trooper. I used an Anvil Industries head with a Scion torso. I used a converted Cadian pair of legs with some moulds of Chaos Traitor Guard for boots/shin guards. A Skeleton sword was used to finish this model. I painted him in a Napoleonic paint scheme I saw and liked.



Best wishes for a healthy and prosperous New Year!!

Till next time, Phil.

Thanks Not Online!!!

First of all, I wish everyone a Happy New Year and have quite a few newly finished models to show:



This is my Prazheim Miner Chaos Trooper. He's based on a Genestealer Cult model. I removed the Genestealer icon and swopped it for a Chaos one instead. I opted to go with an orange jump suit paint scheme for a bit of realism.



This Rubiquon Devil is based on an Anvil Industries torso, legs and arms with a Genestealer Cult head. I used some Greenstuff Industries Fluorescent yellow for his jumpsuit trousers (I think he looks like a binman to be honest!!) and a press mould Chaos Icon breastplate.



This shows my Chaos Vostroyan 88th Trooper. He is based on a Necromunda Orlock body, with Cadian arms and a press mould of an original Vostroyan head I have in my collection.



Just to convert the torso into something unique, I added some press mould Chaos Icon shin guards from a AOS model I have.



I added a press mould of a chainmail cloak (from a Blackstone Fortress Traitor Guard) and a FW Renegade backpack.



And finally for today, my Chaos Rhodesian White. He's has an Anvil Industries head, (I think) a Cadian torso and arms, with a Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist legs. I swopped the bayonet with a Necromunda Orlock knife.





I added a backpack, bedroll and Orlock scabbard. The usual congealed blood was added to the bayonet.

I've spent a lot of time over the Christmas holidays finishing the majority of my pile of shame. I've almost finished all of my Chaos Squats and will show some more in the next few days.

Till next time, Phil.

Update time:

I've almost finished painting my 40 Chaos Squats (3 left). I'll then show what I've done. Some more Chaos Traitor Guardsmen I've completed:



This is my Chaos Islandwanar 24th Foot Trooper. I used a FW Chaos Renegade torso with Cadian legs. I wanted to use the paint scheme from the British Army in the Zulu War.







This is my 126th Fendroosian Fellrunner. He has Anvil Industry legs with a Catachan bare torso. I wanted to try painting some tartan (in preparation for some more kilted Chaos troopers). Trying to get equal paint lines was really hard. In an ideal world, there would be transfers for kilts (like I've seen for other 28mm Historical kilts), but in the meantime, I'd better develop a steady hand!!!





This is my Chaos 55th Vietnamian Trooper. I wanted to look like a Vietnam GI and used Catachan parts ans Scion legs.





This is my Chaos 122nd Illuvian Iron Spiders. I wanted to go back in time and try and use the original Imperial Guard style of equipment from the early 1990's. I had a few of the original plastic guardsmen, so made some silicon moulds of the head and torso. I then added some Catachan legs with converted Cadian arms.



I added a chainmail cloak across his back (taken from a silicon mould from a Blackstone Fortress Traitor Guardsman).



Using mostly Anvil Industry parts, I made this Chaos 91st Hazmatian Fusiliers. I used a Genestealer Cult shotgun to arm this trooper.



And finally....



This is my Chaos 274th Psinblight Spears trooper. He is based on a Blackstone Fortress Chaos Cultist with Warhammer weapons and Necromunda Van Saar head. I have shown this one before I finished his base.





Next update, I'll start to show off some more of my finished Chaos Squats.

Till next time, Phil.

Update time:

As promised, I've just finished painting my 40th Chaos Squat and will start to show them over the next few days:





This was the second Chaos Squat I created. As per the original artwork, Squats always have lots of pouches!!





I wanted him to have his blast shield down on his helmet, so I completed a quick conversion. He is armed with a Blackstone Fortress Traitor Guardsman flamer. I gave him extra fuel cannisters, as you can never have too many spares!!



I wanted a "come and get me" pose with this one. I sculpted an eye patch as well to give him a more "veteran" feel. His axes come from the Chaos Marauder set (I believe) and the knives are from a Space Wolf spare part. Blood was lovingly sponged on to give it a (hopefully) realistic impression.



I made a mould of the chainmail cloak from a Blackstone Fortress Traitor Guardsman and added it here. I also carved out the face/head to make an empty helmet that I also added to his hip.

Feel free to ask any questions or offer any critique - I won't be offended

Till next, Phil.

Awesome conversions, especially the spear wielding maniac.

I've been looking into the anvil industries regiments stuff, but the price is holding me back.

One point of criticism regarding the squats, their faces look a bit to calm and composed. I miss a little bit of the madness that chaos brings.

The Anvil Industries bits are awesome and as we're both based in the UK, the P&P isn't that bad. I understand it gets pricey when you have to pay international costs - Mad Robot and Victoria Miniatures shipping costs a fortune, but again, their bits are really worth it. I bulk buy to try and reduce the costs. With regard to their facial features, I am happy to sculpt most things with milliput, but I would never think about faces - that is too hard!!

Update time:







I made this sniper using a Space Marine Scout rifle and thought a backward facing baseball cap would best fit this pose. I really like this model.





I really think this model is the closest one I've made to resemble the original plastic Squats and artwork. I think the "at ease"/ relaxing pose looks really effective.





I added some horns to this one's helmet (taken from a Blackstone Fortress Chaos Cultist) to give this a more chaos feel.

Till next time, Phil.

Thanks PaddyMick. I'm really happy with how these models have turned out

Update time:





Again, I really like this "relaxed" pose.







I added a re-breather facemask to this model. This one likes to use knives but still has a slung lasgun. I added a Chaos Icon front plate (taken from a mould of a FW Chaos Renegade) and a FW Chaos Renegade backpack.



This Chaos Squat has forgotten to wear his trousers!!







Till next time, Phil.

Hi MeatShield. I've taken a group shot, but want to show off each one first before I reveal the whole group. I have one of first squad which I'll show below:

Update time:









I like how the combat vest turned out on this one. He has a modified bolter and is in the process of reloading.









I added a couple of Squat beret wearer's to the group (looks a bit like Frank Spencer!)







I added a Radio Operator to the group.









I wanted a heavy weapon for the squad, so I used this Space Marine Missile Launcher.

And finally, a group shot of first squad at ease.....



Any questions, just let me know.

Regards, Phil.

To be honest Warboss Waaazag, this project will probably never end!! I've enjoyed making all of the conversions and have bought a lot more bits and plan to start making some more in the near future

Update time:









Here's my Melta man. Armed with a meltagun, melta bomb and melta mine.









This is one of the first Squats I made. Apologies for his eyes - I don't have a steady enough hand to make the eyes any smaller.









"Chaaargeeee!!"

Update time:



Nothing screams more than a follower of Chaos than running to war with no clothes on!!







I wanted to mimic the original metal Squats back in the day by adding a power fist to this one.



I wanted to make a couple of kneeling figures as alternative poses and then thought it would be cool to have one signing for his squad to stop/halt. I kitted him out with lots of ammo and pouches as usual.



I armed him with a Heresy Bolter to differentiate him from the others.





And finally, a blood drenched SOB chain sword wielding nutter.....







Till next time, Phil.

Even in a Chaos army, I assume there would be some form of medic/surgeon - this is my take on what the butcher would look like













This one again reminds me of one of the old metal Squats - power fist and power axe.

This is my explosive breacher. I used a GSC hand armed with dynamite and a GSC Jackal backpack (containing more dynamite).









Just like other Heavy Machine Gunners, you see bandoliers of ammo draped over shoulders. I used SOB walkers Heavy Bolter ammo and carefully bent it around the shape of his body.



I also made a silicon mould of the Heavy Bolter hopper and added it to his left hip. You can never have too much ammo!!!





I added an apron to protect this flamer wielding naked Squat's jewels!! I also added a welders mask.



Till next time, Phil.

A naked squat with a flamer! Now that just screams Chaos! That apron works out very well.

Thanks DoctorDanny. I thought he needed an apron to protect his little squat!!

MeatShield wrote:The one bare foot is a nice chaotic touch.


I was trying to do every variation of all the parts I had moulded and I thought it would look cool to have a bare foot for a change.

Just to finish off all of the Chaos Squats I've made, I give you Hot Shot Luke ...





He is the final Squat I wanted to make into a red beret wearing special forces squad.



And here is a group shot of all of the Chaos Squats together..









I had great fun making and painting the Squats. I started to make some Squat bikers using the GS Jackals bikes, but got bored and I only got as far as making one which I couldn't face painting. I decided as part of a break from applying for a new job that I would try and paint as many of my Chaos cultist, Traitor Guard and pox walkers that I could. I accomplished this and over the next posts will show as many as I can.

Pox Walkers:













I'll show some more of my Traitor Guard in my next post.

Till then, Phil.

Thanks brushcommando. I have painted around 100+ models since I last posted daily a few months ago but also built around another 150. My plan is to start showing a number of painted models each day and also 1 new model I've finished but as yet, not painted.

Update time:





I've tried to make each model as individual as possible, so any duplicates have been converted - a weapon swop or a head swop etc.

















And here's one of my newest WIP...



The torso is from Black Scorpion Miniatures. They are 28mm and not the heroic 28mm GW use, so I needed to change the legs. I ended up using the legs from an old RT Imperial Human Bomb (I used the torso in another conversion which I'll show in the future). As I explained previously, my intention is to start zenithal priming on these new ones. I'll post some pics in the near future.

Any questions regarding parts/bits etc., just ask. Phil.

This is one of my new Penal troopers. He has armoured himself in a Prison Guard's body armour and is armed to the teeth! He has a Mad Robot Miniatures cultist head, a mould from a Necromunda Enforcer torso, an Anvil Industries right arm, a Catachan left arm, a mould of a Victoria Miniatures penal legs and a mould of a Blackstone Fortress Traitor Guard boots and shins. I've really enjoyed making these penal cultists
