Grimtooth Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Other then the horrible kits for EC by GW, I got to thinking about alternate bits to use for EC and came across these, http://media.thewarstore.com/media/ss_size2/B41-0810.jpg Seems like some nipple armor and flexed abs done up with some piercings and/or tattoos could convey some Slanesshy goodness. Anyone used them before with modifications to remove the BA icons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperors Immortals Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Funnily enough I was thinking of a modeling thread based on these and the Dark Eldar range. All of my minis and supplies are currently in HouseMoving Hell, leading to a few failed projects lately but once im settled id like to start up a thread. Im thinking of casting my own sculpts, with voice boxes partially removed and in corporated into weapons, mutilated heads, daemon tongues and heaps of decoration etc. I replace the main torso from the CSm box with the abdomen from either these sang guard parts and keep the chaos top half or use the Dark Eldar torsos with the EC/NM shoulder pads - both give a good look but im still trying to get this aesthetic; http://i46.tinypic.com/wwnkhc.jpg I might be better off using green stuff to get the abs on a blank torso. Let me know how you go, we can get some awesome stuff going with the more established posters on here ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hollow out the cables and a bit to fit in the abs cast with some trimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAR Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Other then the horrible kits for EC by GW, I got to thinking about alternate bits to use for EC and came across these, http://media.thewarstore.com/media/ss_size2/B41-0810.jpg Seems like some nipple armor and flexed abs done up with some piercings and/or tattoos could convey some Slanesshy goodness. Anyone used them before with modifications to remove the BA icons? Actually I used them for my Crimson Fist honor guard for Pedro Kantor. They are not bad and I was thinking of making a squad of chosen using those kits again for the crazy weapons and armour. The icons come off real easy with a hobby knife but be careful not to cut yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kizzdougs Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I've wanted to Slaanesh up the Sanguinary Guard kit for a while. I also want to make a EC lord from the new Apostle and if this ends up happening I could well do the sang guard at the same time. I've used the kit to build a pre-heresy EC but I think it would be much better chaosified up a bit. Removing most of the BA relevant stuff is pretty easy. http://i1122.photobucket.com/albums/l522/kizzdougs/218778_md-EmperorsChildrenPreHeresySpaceMarines.jpg?t=1316692495 Be sure to post pics if you give it a go :D Edit: I just found this EC Lord (not mine), seems to be along the same lines that you're thinking.

Emperors Immortals Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Wow, now that is very close to what im aiming for, just not sure how to work the lines on the torso to make it look more natural. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think the torso needs to be broadened a little. Skinny and lithe fit the Slaanesh image well, but they are still Astartes after all. If I get time tonight, I might give something similar a go. I should be doing my assignments but EC are much more interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
