Lord Asvaldir Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I'm looking to add some more add ons to some of my chaos vehicles, I've seen some really nice conversions of space marine or human bodies handing off the front of rhinos, I'm wondering though which models should be used, and how would such a conversion best be done? For marines of course you need to use marine bodies, but not sure about human bodies, I've seen some models I just can't place where they are from.

Ironheaded Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Beakies... use alot of beakies! There always seems to be more front chest plates to back plates in SM boxes. I've got loads of extras for that. But legs are at a premium. Some old WHFB skeleton could be helpful too. Whatever you can salvage from bits, and discounts at auctions?

Slave to Darkness Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 The Zombe sprue has some good bits, naked torso and the one with the guts hanging out are ok, the rest are a bit meh though. Mix them in with some guard bits and you got a nice victim who has been left to go ripe.

Ironheaded Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Oh i forgot about the guard. Wow.. so many Catachans to zombie-fy Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312723-full-body-trophy-on-vehicles/#findComment-4153284 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dantay VI Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/278092-night-lords-15th-company-bastion-of-heresy-pg58/?p=3431005 I'll just drop this here from Brother Heinrichs, NIght Lords thread. I think he goes into how he did the musculature further on or you could PM him for advice? I also reckon the zombie sprue would be good for your purposes, and the skeleton from the BT venerable dreadnought too Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/312723-full-body-trophy-on-vehicles/#findComment-4153297 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron-Daemon Forge Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 If you check out Forge World - Renegade Militia Icon & Assault weapons pack, you get a torn up body/trophie that you can add onto tanks. I've use this for my Object Marker, Dreadnoughts & a few Rhinos in my own Iron Warriors army.

Canadian_F_H Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Also xenos. Chaos legions hate xenos as much today as they did when they first set out to purging them from the galaxy before Horus betrayed his emperor. So Eldar, tau and ork trophies are just as acceptable.

Ironheaded Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Oh what about the Dark Eldar Wrack's bodies? good tone and definition for "flayed" skin.

Evil Eye Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 The Nurgle icon in the Chaos Space Marines kit has a partial skeleton with strings of gore clinging to it on the top; cut it off and with a bit of cleanup work you should be able to get a servicable trophy out of it.
