Teetengee Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 TENTACLES! Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322418-turning-tactic-marines-to-chaos-marines/#findComment-4395150 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlson793 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Maybe some bits from Reaper Miniatures Conversions line Use Liquid Green Stuff to grubby them up a bit. And yes, as Teetengee says, tentacles.

Teetengee Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 do you think using that green stuff method on just the feet and bottoms of the legs would work for making a model look more in the trenches?

MosesGunn Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 What kind of army are you going for? Are they recently turned renegades? Veterans of the Long War? Dedicated to a single god? If they're recently turned then that's pretty easy. You probably don't need to mess with the Tac kit that much. Whatever your theme though, checking out some of the Chaos fantasy range is a good bet if you've got cash to buy both. Bloodreavers are a decent deal as you can probably proxy them as Cultists while making use of any helmeted or armoured bits to Chaos the tactical squad sprue up a bit. For Cult Marines obviously Nurgle and Khorne have the most options, but the Hellstriders give you some interesting bits for any Slaanesh themed marines. Maybe even use the Steeds as proxy bikes. Tzeentch has had the least love in plastic until now, but I have no idea how easy the new models in the Warhammer Quest box will be to mix and match.

Rasclomalum Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 If your Chaos Space Marines are Alpha Legion or Emperor's Children, you don't even have to bother removing the aquilas. Heck, adding chaosy bits at all is optional really. Alpha Legion cells obviously look Imperial because they are the ultimate trolls of the universe, and I could very well imagine the sons of Fulgrim wearing the Imperial eagle out of pride (hey, they got it first for being the best marines around) or sheer spite - indeed, I've contemplated making a Slaaneshi warband by using the loyalist range exclusively!

Tyberos the Red Wake Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Has anyone tried to do this? I really can't be bothered to buy the old csm kit and I much Prefere the looks of the tactical marine kit Paint red X over chapter symbols on pauldrons. Use hobby knife or red paint to scratch an X over the chest aquila. Bam, CSM. GW themselves even did this in an old WD.

Teetengee Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 In the old codex actually. That was a common scheme for Red Corsairs. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/322418-turning-tactic-marines-to-chaos-marines/#findComment-4395626 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grotsmasha Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Depends on how "chaosy" you want them, buy some shoulder pads and helmets on eBay/whatever and mix them into the squad.

CovertToaster Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Yeah, anything really. You can mix up marks of armour, deface imperial symbols, add spikes, or tentacles, or chaos weaponry from 40k or fantasy, even beastman legs if you like. Or you can paint them in chaos colours and say they just turned! Honestly I was tempted to chaos the whole DV box set as nurgle. That would give you plenty of material for a lord, sorcerer, champions, terms, marines, bikes, 2 helbrutes, meat shields or whatever you like to run. Two sets would give you a 2k kit bashed chaos force easy.
