Champion of Slaanesh Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Ok, so... I was thinking about kitbashing daemonettes and Chaos Space Marines to create something that just looks different. I've been considering this for a while, and how it looks in my head is pretty interresting, but I'd like to get a second opinion before I hack apart some perfectly good models. Opinions?

Bonzi Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Ok, so... I was thinking about kitbashing daemonettes and Chaos Space Marines to create something that just looks different. I've been considering this for a while, and how it looks in my head is pretty interresting, but I'd like to get a second opinion before I hack apart some perfectly good models. Opinions? I have kitbashed Nettes and Cultists to good effect to create possessed cultists for my CSM/Daemons army. The one problem you run into is the delicacy of the Nette models vs even the smaller cultists. The Nette arms and heads look tiny and out of scale with the larger bodies of the cultists and I can only assume that it would be even worse on the more bulky CSM body. Some of the bigger claws and such turned out really good so you could use those for CCW standins, but I'm not sure how far you will be able to take it.

Champion of Slaanesh Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 Can you show some pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phytoon Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Do you already have the models? Because I took a comparison shot of some arms that will help to show the difference in width if you don't have them. In the above picture, the left arm is from a Khorne Berserker, the middle one is from a Daemonette, and the right one is from a Possessed. The Daemonette arm, apart from being incredibly narrow, is much shorter than the other two. On the body of a marine, this arm would look like a little twig, which could work as sort of a weirdness factor, but might not be what you desire. I can throw together a daemonette arm on a marine body if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion of Slaanesh Posted August 19, 2013 Author Share Posted August 19, 2013 I was thinking about using the upper half of a marine arm (the part covered by the shoulder pad) and the lower arm from the daemonette, and green stuff-ing it to look right. But what about lower bodies and legs? Not just the arms. Making it look like the arm is coming out of the power armor, and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phytoon Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 I suppose what you could do is take some of the larger claws and cut them above the wrist so it would be a larger base, then glue that to a marine arm that's had the hand cut off. Daemonette lower bodies and legs are just as slender, though. Again, perhaps you could use just the foot, cutting below the ankle and gluing it to a power armor leg, but at that point it seems like a lot less trouble just using some possessed parts. Not trying to dissuade you, just offering an alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion of Slaanesh Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Eh. I'll just use pure greenstuff for the look I want then. Thanks a bunch for all the imput! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cptn. Palladorus Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Is this the sort of thing you were looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion of Slaanesh Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Actually, that's almost exactly what I'm looking for. I want some more diversity in there, and that looks pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkMark Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 You'd be better off looking at the fantasy Hell striders in the Warriors of Chaos range. The crab claw arms are far more in scale, torsos too, and the heads are great for EC. A much 'better' idea I reckon. 'Nette faces look great melted into shoulder pads or sides of vehicles etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion of Slaanesh Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Hellstriders aren't the same. The torso's are bare. I want that buckle and corset look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Targetlock Posted September 1, 2013 Share Posted September 1, 2013 looking forward to seeing what comes of this, this is why chaos is awesome, the conversion possibilities are endless :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champion of Slaanesh Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 I agree. Chaos is certainly the best. On a different note, dosn't mark of Slaanesh make the units fearless, and give them feel no pain? A part from the +1 initiative, of course.

On a different note, dosn't mark of Slaanesh make the units fearless, and give them feel no pain? A part from the +1 initiative, of course. No on the fearless. Noise Marines have it, but it does not get applied to regular CSM units that take the mark, unless they take the Icon of Vengence or are accompanied by a Lord or Dark Apostle. Units with the Mark (both regular CSM and Noise Marines) may buy the Icon of Excess, which gives the unit FNP, but neither comes with it intrinsic to the unit.
