Lord_Hail Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I threw the idea around and because i have a fantesy army collecting dust i though i would try to convert them to choas space marines. sorry about photos i have a camcorder that takes better photos then my wife's camrea. (front) (side with lots o glue) (back) He is the first and really rough. please be brutaly honest in your opinion, and say if you would allow some one to use this a base for a choas army. Also any opinion on what i should change or do better is welcome. Thanks for your time and energy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminatorinhell Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 nah, its very nice, just cut out the chest plate and give a chaos one and it would look fine, if your skills are up to it, try sculpting greaves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_forgefather Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I like it, my problem with it is that the right arm looks too long, it should be shortened and the left arm extended; if you can. I agree with Terminatorinhell, but if you can't just try adding some Chaos icons/imagery, it would be much better :tu: Also do you have a picture of the left side of the model? I'd like to see the other side so I could get a better understanding of how you converted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Replica Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 i agree with the_forgefather and Terminatorinhell, but you also need a back pack! :tu: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Hail Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 As asked, the left side. I cut the left arm to short, so i added a whole arm to the wrist on top of what was already attached holding the bolter on the right. Like i said he is my rough draft, i agree he needs a pack, but i only have loyaltists pack (no old ones ethier) so i am waiting till i can get in touch with friends for the pack. i am going to attempt to sculp the greeves, but at a latter date. thanks to all for your feed back!

the_forgefather Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 No problem! Can't wait to see how they look when you get all the bits you need, then I'm sure these guys will look great! There's a guy in my LFGS who uses Chaos Warriors as his 40k Chosen, and they look decent, but he didn't go as far as having Marine arms and heads (much less backpack).

CaptainForge Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Looks good. I'm doing the same thing. Getting the arms is tricky. Your work is much better than mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioannou Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I have some leftover chaosy bits on sprues (arms etc) i may be able to post em over if they are needed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Hail Posted July 24, 2010 Author Share Posted July 24, 2010 As asked and agred with back pack, sorry friend i have had no choasy packs hence back banner! and for the front view with a bad attempt with green stuff i will get this bad boy primed and painted, but the rest of my 35 boys will have to wait as i have no more bolters, back packs. aioannou, i thank the offer of bits.

CaptainForge Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I would dry brush the pelt with some bleach bone. Looks good. I'm using the chaos bits for my Space Wolves. Maybe do some highlighting on the bolter also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manofmanynames Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 I think he looks good. On the backpacks you could say they only recently turned chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Normish Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Very good concept, I certainly would not have thought of it. I guess it could also work for some Loyalist Chapters as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aioannou Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 well id say they could pull off "fallen" space wolves very well with the whole demeanour and appearance, especially the pelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blckbuster Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I've liked this for a long time, I just wish there were alittle more variety in the poses, otherwise you end up with a crew of clones like the old starter 3 part marines Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Kovash Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 First guy looks great. There should be plenty of marine players at your LGS to score some bits from, we always have parts lying around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
