Pandoras Bitz Box Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Hey guys, I just wanted to share some pics with you guys to see what you think. Ages ago I acquired some second hand Possessed Space Marines and as a Dedicated Thousand Sons/Tzeentch Daemons player I thought it would be good to get some decent melee troops into my army. Well I never got around to it. They have never seen the tabletop. Their rules were ok but I think they were overpriced at the time and also... I wasn't sure I liked how the models looked. Even thought there were a bunch of different bits in the kit, there were a load of reoccurring parts I kept noticing and it bugged me. One Idea I had to make them look a bit different was justification to have them in my army... Unwilling Volunteers. My Thousand Sons would capture the enemy and them perform rituals to bind daemons into their bodies, rather than my Sorcerers giving up their own minds to the denizens of the warp. The different colour schemes then would help break up the patterns in the models. I also started to do things like, give one a new sword arm I took from a Grey Knight and serrated its edge. Different... but that wasnt enough. All those infinite varieties of warp entity swirling around the warp and the Possessed end up looking this similar? I'm not buying it. So I started the unit for real, converting the models into more and more elaborate forms. This post I'll be updating with my progress painting them as I've nearly finished converting them all, just a few finishing touches to go. Rather than painting them in passes, as they all have different colour schemes I'll be doing them one at a time, perfect for this WIP. I hope you like them! (I'll be posting more info and pics on our blog www.Krakendoomcool.wordpress.com Imperial fists: Imperial... Tentacle Mace 30k World Eaters: Mini Thirster Just these two for now, more to follow soon...

N1SB Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I love both the idea and the execution, great job, looking forward to any more you may come up with.

Re'Koleq't Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Cool idea! Fits very well. I know what you mean by lack of variety on the possessed. Often thought the same (I don't own any though). I love the sprint on the mini Thirster. I look forward to seeing what else you come up with.

Pandoras Bitz Box Posted May 5, 2018 Author Share Posted May 5, 2018 Here are another 2 possessed, with plenty more to come. Predzerker and Beaky McRavenguard! There are a few more angles of photos on the blog if you want to see them. Hopefully it wont be long before I have some more Possessed up! I hope these arent disappointing for those of you that enjoyed my other ones. I do have some much more elaborate conversions to come. These are all still from the few that I was not that confident modifying. Next up to paint is an Ultra Marine and Dark Angel, and I'm working on converting an Iron Hands and a Salamander.

The Nephilim Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 I love the Slaanesh Ultra. The eyes on the Dark Angel creep me the :cuss out. So good job.

Pandoras Bitz Box Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 Oh cool, thanks. I second guessed posting the ultra matine because i hwve done so little to him, just modified his head a touch. Went with slaaneshbecause of the fencing style pose (all the original models were second hand and pre built). Im prett happy with the Dark Angel, ive never sxulpted a cloak before. And yeah... The syes sre not meant to make you feel warm and fuzzy. :D Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346579-volunteers-for-the-ranks-possessed-space-marines/#findComment-5080750 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Are Verlo Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I’m really impressed with your work. It is a great idea and I love both the story behind them and your models.
