Gresiloth Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 My latest concoction has been a 5-man squad of Chosen Chaos Space Marines. I opted for a combo of 3 flamers and 2 power weapons, and based the squad on the Dark Angels Veterans boxed set. I have to say this is an awesome sprue; the robed bodies themselves are great, and you get loads of cool components along with them. I made considerable use of the incense-style censers on strings for example. The robes themselves were treated to considerable amounts of stanley knife and pin vice weathering. I carefully shredded the edges of the plastic to give the cloth a ragged and ribboned look. Power Weapons http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ashbeyj/All%20Shall%20Rot/100_1820.jpg Alt Angle: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ash...ot/100_1821.jpg Sword Detail: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ash...ot/100_1822.jpg - This guy was designed to double up as a Champion in case I decide to include one. Features include a head-swap from the CSM command sprue, the power sword from a Dark Angels terminator (drilled with the Mark of Nurgle), a reinforced shoulder-pad using Orky armour, and a power plant vent on the right shoulder (a feature present on the whole squad) http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ashbeyj/All%20Shall%20Rot/100_1823.jpg Alt Angle: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ash...ot/100_1824.jpg - A small amount of green stuff changes the Dark Angels head a bit, and a Night Goblin blade makes his power weapon look a bit more brutish. Flamers http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ashbeyj/All%20Shall%20Rot/100_1814.jpg Alt Angle: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ash...ot/100_1815.jpg - All three flamer guys have an Ork Burna Boy packpack (attached after considerable amounts of cutting and re-glueing). These WIP pictures are do not show it, but I connected the flamers to the backpacks with guitar string. - The spurt of flame is a High Elf horse tail! - As with the whole squad, the Dark Angels sprue was great for accessories like the parchment in this guy’s left hand. http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ashbeyj/All%20Shall%20Rot/100_1816.jpg Alt Angle: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ash...ot/100_1817.jpg - Same sort of treatment as the other flamers – Ork, Dark Angel and High Elf bits, plus some green stuff. http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ashbeyj/All%20Shall%20Rot/100_1818.jpg Alt Angle: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i211/ash...ot/100_1819.jpg - The banner is a mutilated version of a typical Space Marine standard, with spikes and considerable weathering added. - The green stuff on his left shoulder was initially meant to be an attempt at chain-mail, but it failed miserably, and ended up as a strange piece of fur! This was to cover up a Dark Angels cloth on the shoulder-pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barret Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I really like the weathering you've done on the robes and the banner. I've tried similar a couple times with capes, but the frayed look you've got is great. I'll have to try it your way next time I do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
