RazakelXIII Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I so wish I'd thought of that Crozius. :D Great-looking army, paint 'em! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavPathfinder Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 Updated the first Squad a little. I've added an Aspiring Champion, A Heavy Bolter gunner, and a Flamer (I know the model has a heavy flamer bit, but I think the Word Bearers should be flamer heavy - the better to cleanse the galaxy of the unpure) The biggest update were the litanies. I knew when I tried to take a short cut, I'd regret it. I did. So I went back and made them right this time. here's a group shot a small group and just two dudes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Those look excellent. Not sure i'm a fan of the heavy flamer over just a regular flamer, but thats just personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, comon, I think the Heavy Flamer is quite "Fluffy" and looks cool too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drudge Dreadnought Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 That better angle on it has me sold on it. The teeth on it are really good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cathar the great Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 That heavy flamer rocks. Were are the teeth from? The whole squad looks very solid. I'm not sure I like how they all have the same helmet, but that's just personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Martemis Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 another 2 thumbs up for heavy flamer as a flamer.... ;) B) "oh noes the chaos gods warped its appearence, but it is still only a flamer..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doghouse Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Fantastic stuff! I love the heavy flamer guy. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 This is great man. I love how you made each marine taller, and have soles on their boots. Much cooler then original ones ;). Your conversions are awesomely chaosy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan The Deamon Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I love the flamer and the power weapon. I also like how you gave the champ An accursed Halo. You're guilting me into modeling again. All this stuff looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavPathfinder Posted January 3, 2010 Author Share Posted January 3, 2010 That better angle on it has me sold on it. The teeth on it are really good too. Thank you, I thought the different angles would help. Brother Martemis, Doghouse, Capt. Lysander, Thank you as well That heavy flamer rocks. Where are the teeth from? The whole squad looks very solid. I'm not sure I like how they all have the same helmet, but that's just personal preference. Thank you The teeth are from the WFB Lizardmen Them all having the same helmet is part of their uniformity and attention to detail. It’s an indicator that they all fight together for the same common purpose. They’re not a bunch of pirates I love the flamer and the power weapon. I also like how you gave the champ An accursed Halo. The Flamer, Mace Power Weapon, and the Halo have been ideas I've wanted to do for a while now. You're guilting me into modeling again. you know - That’s what I do best All this stuff looks great. Thanks Brother, Here’s a few more of the Aspiring Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Loken Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Those look amazing. The aspiring champ looks exactly how they should. Love the conversion work you've put into this army. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cultist Chalky Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Wow. This stuff is all amazing. Just a few questions: Are those boot treads the only thing you use to make your marines so tall? What's that tabard on the champion's back from? Is the plasticard between the two grips on those bolters necessary or just aesthetic? And finally, can we get a close up on that heavy bolter(?) guy?

Terminatorinhell Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 where do you get the skeleton on the back of your chaos lords backpack from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CavPathfinder Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Brother Duncs Thank you Wow. This stuff is all amazing. Just a few questions: Are those boot treads the only thing you use to make your marines so tall? First of all, Thank you. The tread on the soles is one of four steps to make my guys taller here's a step-by-step Steps 1 and 2: I glue the ridged plasti-card to the soles of the feet, and plastic tubing to the waist. I trim down the ridged card around the feet, and file down the edge of the plastic tube This way it fits into the bottom of the torso better Step 3: I glue plastic tube to the neck of the head and file it down so that it fits into the neck of the torso better Step 4: this is my final step. I'm going to add a base that is about 1/8 inches taller. I also add a layer of plasti-card between the back and backpack I also use the Horned Helmet and add Chaosy Icons to the backpacks to further increase the overall height. and there ya go, a genetically enhanced super human What's that tabard on the champion's back from? The cape comes from the Space Marine Commander kit Is the plasticard between the two grips on those bolters necessary or just aesthetic? It's not necessary, but it does cover a join between two bits And finally, can we get a close up on that heavy bolter(?) guy? Yes you may where do you get the skeleton on the back of your chaos lords backpack from? I got the skeleton bits from the Warhammer Fantasy Vampire Counts Skeleton Warrior kit Enjoy!

bc99 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Oh my, so awesome. I love the look of your obliterator, aka Heretek type guy. Grade A+ awesomeness. The white card you are using, "plasticard", where do you buy that, and what's it called in stores? You're a master at using it obviously. Looking for some tips as I start some of my own conversions. Chaos done right with all those awesome conversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos done right with all those awesome conversions. Gracias, Plasti-card is a Brit term we've grown accustomed to from way back in the day when White Dwarf would print articles about how to make conversions. The easiest way to find it in the States or online is to look for - Polystyrene (who wants to call it that?). There are two companies that make a wide range of widths, thinknesses, and lengths. Evergreen Scale Models and Plastruct. There are several places you can get it online: Evergreen Scale Models - HERE Plastruct Inc. - HERE Tower Hobbies - HERE I'm sure if you looked around you could find more. And some hobby/craft shops carry it, I'm lucky there's a craft shop right down the street from me that carries it. As far as being a master, woah, Thanks. I'm actually just now getting into using it. A whole lot of trial and error going on here. Trying to broaden my skill set. But Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt. Lysander Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I LOVE your conversions, with all the authentic bits on the heavy weapons, like the flamer and the heavy bolter. Awesomeness! As I said before, all of them are unique. Thanks for sharing your boot-sole conversion with us :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said before, all of them are unique. Thanks for sharing your boot-sole conversion with us ;) Thank you Too easy. If I’m not mistaken I think I ripped the boot sole idea from my buddy Dan the Daemon. you can visit his thread of Awesomness here at => Night Lords 18th Grand Company<= Excellent job, i love how you made them taller, it works better than any other method ive seen Thank you, I don’t know if my idea works better, I certainly think it’s the easiest (that’s why my lazy ar$e is doing it). wow, thanks for such an in depth response! Now sit back and watch as hundreds of people shamelessly steal your ideas. Except me, I'll ask: May I please shamelessly rip off these ideas of yours? You’re welcome, and my pleasure. steal away, isn’t that what friends are for? Well, they do say imation is the sincerest form of flattery... Trust me, with me – Flattery will get you anywhere, Flattery away. I'll probably "borrow" the ideas on increasing height. By all means. And you can rest easy knowing that I won’t ask for it back. How is that apostle coming? Sslllooooooooooowwwwwww. I have a rare combination of: ADHD - where I’m easily distracted from one project to the other And Obsessive Compulsive Disorder– where I have to go back and redo stuff (that should be done) until I think it’s perfect. Sitting on my shelves I have: The Dark Apostle The Obliterator My second Squad of ten Chaos Space Marines. They used to be assembled models, now they’re not (preparing to undergo genetic enhancement, or just making them taller, adding all of the basic WYSIWYG wargear, and various bionics). A Squad of ten Chosen. Once again, they also used to be whole, now they’re not (same as above). A Squad of four Terminator Champions. One is 90%, the other three are at about 50%. A Squad of six Terminators. They sit at about 75% completely assembled. A Squad of ten Berzerkers. They’re at around 80% complete. Two Land Raiders. The hulls have been assembled, but they still await the proper warp guided chaosy thouch (but I've got tons of ideas). and I've commited to help a friend with one of his ideas. I have vowed not to start any other projects until all of these are 100% completely assembled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
