Hey, I am building a large Slaanesh army, and decided to fork into CSM as well. The Obliterator models are... not appealing... Anyone know of any miniatures or specific model to use to put some work into, to make them Oblits?

Centurions. For cheap and easy conversions just saw their power fists off at the wrist and glue gun barrels to it.

There's also this guy's take on it using Ogryns as a base and adding on some unique weapons and ogre bitz:

One of the best interpretations imo.

Ok. For Oblits I was thinking of using some of the smaller Daemon prince models I have and gluing guns to it.. Compared to terminators, how big are they? No one at my FLGS has bought one and I'm not sure how much green-stuff or chopping up I should do.

The "Current" obliterator models are roughly the same size as the Gravis Captain or Lord of Contagion. Basically they are to Terminators what Terminators are to power armor space marines.

These are what I went with, there's more sculpts in the range and Mutilator versions with CCW should you wish to expand.

I used the Admec Thallax squad from Forge World, beautiful models, and served as Obliterators very well.

I say that is brilliant.
A bit of green stuff to add some more organic elements and maybe weaponize the left arm a bit more and it is golden.
Think if you wanted to lean toward Khorn and a certain similar large looking model would be nice to emulate.

I'd think the Aggressors are a pretty natural base if you're looking for something sleeker and more 'Slaanesh' that the blocky (crappy) oblit models.
