New Chaos Traitor Guard and cultist army - Chaos Squats!

[Surreal Cruelty]

That yellow makes those pox walkers look absolutely toxic.  They look great.  Also love the "clean-cut" traitors further up the thread.

 

Edit - Your sculpting skills are excellent too!

Thanks Surreal Cruelty. I used GW Plaguebearer Flesh Contrast over a white undercoat and I'm really happy with how they turned out.

 

 

I have painted around 100+ models since I last posted daily a few months ago but also built around another 150. My plan is to start showing a number of painted models each day and also 1 new model I've finished but as yet, not painted.

 

Update time:

 

 

 

I've tried to make each model as individual as possible, so any duplicates have been converted - a weapon swop or a head swop etc. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And here's one of my newest WIP...

 

 

The torso is from Black Scorpion Miniatures. They are 28mm and not the heroic 28mm GW use, so I needed to change the legs. I ended up using the legs from an old RT Imperial Human Bomb (I used the torso in another conversion which I'll show in the future). As I explained previously, my intention is to start zenithal priming on these new ones. I'll post some pics in the near future. 

 

Any questions regarding parts/bits etc., just ask. Phil.

And here's one of my newer models....

 

 

This is one of my new Penal troopers. He has armoured himself in a Prison Guard's body armour and is armed to the teeth! He has a Mad Robot Miniatures cultist head, a mould from a Necromunda Enforcer torso, an Anvil Industries right arm, a Catachan left arm, a mould of a Victoria Miniatures penal legs and a mould of a Blackstone Fortress Traitor Guard boots and shins. I've really enjoyed making these penal cultists

 

Any questions, just ask. Phil.

And one from my workbench .....

 

 

Apologies but I can't remember where the head is from. I used a mould of a Victoria Miniatures Penal torso and legs with Anvil Industries arms. I used an Esher lasgun to finish. I'm looking forward to getting the orange paint on their penal jumpsuits!!!!

 

Don't be afraid to ask if you have any questions. Phil.

[Brother Carpenter]

OOH these are so characterfull.

Love em. Scrolled the entire thread yesterday.

Beautifull!!!

[Khornestar]

Solid work, I particularly like the guy about to give someone a pointer with his bayonet.

Thanks Khornestar. I like too many to be able to choose one as my favourite!

And from my workbench.....

 

 

This model is primarily made from Victoria Miniatures bits (Torso, legs and arms). Again, I'm not sure if it is an Anvil Industries, Mad Robot Miniatures or Victoria Miniatures head. As the barrel of the las gun was thin and warped, I decided to swop it with one from an old Catachan Las gun instead. Milliput was used to cover any gaps between the arms and torso. I would love to have made a mould of the legs but the chains were in the way and I didn't want to break them. Since this was made, I have made moulds of some Warcry models bare feet and have added those to a number of penal troopers - I'll show you those in the future.

 

Any questions, feel free to ask. Phil.

This Penal Trooper has repurposed the Prison Guards armour for his own use. I used a Necromunda Enforcer Helmet, Torso, arms and pistol. I used a Victoria Miniatures mould of a Penal Trooper legs. I chopped off the milliput legs below the knee and after using a razor saw, added some Necromunda Enforcer Knees, shins and feet. I added a Chaos Star as a belt buckle to show his loyalty. I plan on painting the armour all in black gloss (an intimidating look for a prison guard) with a splash of orange on his thighs from his prison jumpsuit.

 

As usual, feel free to ask any questions. Phil.

My Chaos Traitor Guard 37th JonLuc Jannissaries. What beats 1 axe? 2 axes!!! I made sure multiple copies of the BSF Traitor Guard I had all had a conversion to make them look different.

 

This is my Chaos Traitor Guard 55th Lanzine Skull Takers. It's based on an Orlock body with a mould of a BSF Traitor Guard helmet. I used a mould of a FW Chaos Renegade for the chaos insignia on the chest plate. Some spikes were also added to the shoulder pads. A mould of a BSF Traitor Guard chains were also added to the back.

 

This Chaos Pit Slave has a Goliath body, with a mould of a Dark Vengeance cultists head and is armed with some AOS Dwarf axes. A Necromunda Enforcer holstered pistol was added and again, a mould of the BSF Traitor Guard chains were also added to his back.

 

And from my workbench.......

 

This penal trooper was made from moulds from Victoria Miniatures torso and legs. His feet were from a mould of a BSF Traitor Guard. The arms were from Anvil Industries with a Catachan Lasgun.

I really dig that guy with the double-barrelled shotgun. Reminds me of accounts of soldiers in WW1 augmenting their kit with hunting shotguns to fend off trench raids. Suits the gritty aesthetic.

Thanks Urauloth for your kind comments. I've tried to use historical pictures as inspiration as well as modern and scifi themes when I'm building and painting my models.

 

Update time:

 

For a change, I thought I'd start by showing a few WIP models before showing some completed models:

 

 

I wanted to make a "cossack" like cultist/traitor guard after seeing the heads from Mad Robot miniatures. I also used a Chaos Heavily Armoured torso from Mad Robot and added this to a DKoK legs and arms. Milliput was used to make some fur around his sleeve and ankles. The sword was taken from an AoS Skeleton with the laspistol from the DKoK. Spikes were added to the shoulder pads to reinforce his love for Chaos!

 

 

This Traitor Guard started as a Necromunda Outcast. I was really impressed with the Outcast models and have made good use to make a load of Chaos models. I added an Imperial Guard head from the Baneblade kit with a milliput Chaos star taken from a mould.

 

 

I wanted to make a WW2 British Commando like model and used historic photo's to ensure it looked semi-realistic. The model has an Anvil Industries beanie hat. The torso and legs were from moulds and the boots were taken from a Necromunda Orlock. DKoK arms with spikes on the shoulder pads were added. To make the DKoK lasgun look more like a Sten gun, I added an Adeptus Mechanicus gun barrel to make a silencer and the magazine was added to the side. I added a Chaos star on his belt buckle. Large Space Marine packs were added to front of his harness to look like the British in WW2.

 

 

This model has a Chaos icon scarred torso (I made a mould of a Mad Robot Miniature bare torso and added a Chaos icon taken from the FW Renegade torso). Anvil Industries head and arms were added to a Dark Vengeance cultist legs. He's armed with a shotgun from the Genestealer Cult.

 

 

And finally, here's a finished Necromunda Goliath Ganger. I added an Adeptus Soriotos head as I really liked the scar.

 

Till next time, Phil.

Thanks Augustus b'raass. Your conversions are pretty inspiring as well.

Big update for today:

This has a Necromunda Outcast torso with a Genestealer Cult legs and an Anvil Industries Bulletproof mask. Empire Pistoliers arms were also added which will look cool when painted. A chaos icon was added to the front so show his allegiance.

This Penal Trooper has a Mad Robot Miniatures bare torso, with moulds from Victoria Miniatures for his legs and a mould of a BSF Traitor guard 
boots/shin guards. Catachan arms were added with a Genestealer Cult shotgun. Milliput was used to blend the joins between everything.

This Penal Trooper has a Mad Robot Miniatures bare torso with a Chaos Icon cut into his chest (taken from a mould from the FW Chaos Renegade set). I used moulds from Victoria Miniatures for his legs and a mould of a BSF Traitor guard for his boots/shin guards. Arms were from Anvil Industries.

I wanted to make a Valhallan like Snow Trooper. The legs and arms were taken from a DKoK guard (and a mould of a DKoK backpack) with milliput fur sculpted around his wrists. An Anvil Industries head and torso were also added to give a cold weather loving trooper. A Chaos Icon belt buckle was also added to complete.

This Romanesque trooper has a head from Mad Robot Miniatures. The torso was taken from a mould of the original 1980/1990 Imperial Guard. The arms are moulds from Catachan arms with DKoK weapons and I added plasticard "leather straps" with rivets. His bare legs are taken from a Warcy model.

This Chaos Militia has Anvil Industries head, torso and legs with Necromunda Esher arms and weapons.

This one has a Drop Trooper vibe. I'm not sure where the head came from (maybe a Sentinel?). The torso comes from a Necromunda Outcast with arms and legs from the Genestealer Cult range. A milliput Chaos Icon was added to finish.

This model has an Anvil Industries head with a Mad Robot Miniature torso. A DKoK right arm and legs with some spikes added to the shoulder pad. To finish, there is a milliput mould of a left arm (Spellcrow) and a Catachan backpack.

I wanted to make this model look like a Confederate soldier. He has a Mad Robot Miniatures head. The torso and legs were moulds from Cadian's with the boots from a Necromunda Orlock. I used DKoK arms and a shoulder pad with spikes. I made a mould from a metal Valhallan to make the blanket roll around his shoulders.

This model is from Black Scorpion Miniatures. The feet were to thin for 40k so I swopped them with a mould from Cadian boots. I added some swords from the AOS Skeletons and a DKoK lasgun was slung on his back.

This started out as an Empire Flagellant. I used an Anvil Industries head and arms to make him more 40k.

This model has a Mad Robot Miniatures head and torso with a Necromunda Outcast legs. DKoK arms were added with spikes on the shoulder pads. Just to make sure everyone know he loves Chaos, I added a Chaos icon on his belt.

And a finished model...

This Chaos Cultist is from BSF. They are really good models with lots of bits I have taken moulds from.

After seeing the recent release from Anvil Industries of "Space Cowboys", I thought I'd try and make one myself. The majority of it comes from a Necromunda Orlock model. Milliput was used to fill in gaps after I removed his tabard and didn't use his shoulder pads. I also used milliput to sculpt some empty holsters. The hat came from a mould of Sheriff model I bought from Black Scorpion Miniatures. I had to remove quite a bit of the Orlocks head to get the hat to fit. A Chaos Icon belt buckle was also added to finish this model.

This was a simple conversion from one of the BSF Chaos Traitor Guard. Instead of the lasgun and knife combo on the original model (bit has been used on another converted model), I used some DKoK arms and weapons. Milliput was then used to fill the gaps between the joins and to rebuild part of the left shoulder pad.

This conversion has a FW Chaos Renegade torso (his Chaos symbol on the front armour has been moulded and I've used it in countless places elsewhere) with a Necromunda Outcast legs. The arms are from the Genestealer Cult with the mace from the Necromunda Outcast set. Milliput was again used to fill gaps. I think this will look really cool once painted.

This conversion has multiple sources - Anvil Industries zombie head and bare arms, DKoK legs, Genestealer Cult weapon with a Catachan knife/bayonet. A Necromunda Orlock scabbard was also used alongside a mould of a DKoK backpack.

This is a 3D modern Russian soldier from Etsy. I swopped out his weapon for an AK-47 like weapon from Anvil Industries. A spare right and left hand was used and milliput was then used to smooth everything out. 

This Son of Sek conversion has a Mad Robot Miniatures head and torso with Anvil Industries renegade arms.  A Catachan lasgun was added to a mould of some Catachan legs and a mould of some Necromunda Orlock boots. Milliput again fills all the gaps.

This Chaos Traitor 267th Dutch Dragoons was based on a BSF Traitor Guard with a head taken from a mould of another BSF Chaos Traitor Guard and a Genestealer Cult weapon added. I painted him with an Orange jacket as he is from the Dutch Dragoons. I tried to make the cloak look like flesh taken from his many victims. I may add some tattoos to the cloak at some point in the future when I improve my painting skills.
 

This model has a Mad Robot Miniatures torso with DKoK arms and grenade launcher (the backpack is a mould from DKoK as well). The German gasmask wearing head is from Bitzbox. The legs are from moulds of a pair of Cadian legs with the boots from a Necromunda Orlock mould.

This model is from Black Scorpion Miniatures. The feet were replaced with some Cadian boots as the original were too thin for 40k. A pair of Necromunda Enforcer pistols were added to finish this model.

This model has mostly Necromunda Cawdor ganger bits. His head is from Mad Robot Miniatures.

This model has a Victoria Miniatures Scottish Highlanders torso which was paired with a Warhammer Empire head. Necromunda Orlock arms were used (with milliput to fill the gap) with a DKoK laspistol and an AOS Skeleton sword. The legs are taken from a mould (not sure what the source is) and I added a stripe down the side. The boots are taken from a mould of a Necromunda Orlock. A Chaos icon belt buckle was added to finish.

This model source is from a Cypher Lords from Warcry. I removed the tabard dangling between the legs and used milliput to fill the gap. A head from Mad Robot Miniatures was also used.

I wanted to make a Spanish Conquistador and used a head from Bitzbox which had the right look. I used Warhammer Empire Pistollier torso and arms but swopped the pistols for a pair of Necromunda Esher laspistols. The legs were from a Warhammer Empire Great Sword - as they were a little short, I swopped the legs for a pair of Necromunda Orlock boots from a mould. I added a small Chaos Icon to the pad on his right thigh.

 

 

This Chaos Cultist is from BSF. I didn't do any conversions on this one as it looked really great.

This model has a Warhammer Empire Flagellant body with Necromunda Outcast arms and head. Milliput was used to rebuild his waistcoat.

The inspiration for this comes from the British Para's. He has a Scion head, with a scratch build torso. He has Cadian and DKoK arms with converted Cadian legs to make him appear as he's running. I added an Elysian Lasgun to finish the drop troop look.

This model has DKoK arms and legs with an Anvil Industries head and torso.

This is another Spanish Conquistador/Swiss guard conversion. I used a head from Bitzbox with a Warhammer Empire torso, legs and the top of each arm. The lower part of each arm comes from a Catachan. The feet were taken from a mould from a BSF Traitor Guard. The breast plate was taken from a mould from a FW Chaos renegade.

This is a heavily modified Necromunda Redemptionist. I added a bare torso with a Chaos brand across his chest. Milliput was used to sculpt on the muscles, joining the Redemptionist arms to the bare torso. I chose a suitably wil looking Warhammer Empire Flagellant head and used milliput to scult neck muscles and extra hair. I removed the flamer from the chainsaw and used milliput to fill in the chain saw. This model will be drenched in painted blood!!!

This is a BSF Chaos Cultist converted to hold a Lasgun instead of the normal autogun. He has had a BSF Traitor Guard head (taken from a mould) added, alongside a Catachan sword across his back, a Scion knife and a Dwarf axe.

I wanted to make a Steel Legion Chaos Traitor Guard to make sure all of the famous regiments have at least one "bad egg"!! I bought an old metal Steel Legion trooper and made a mould of his head. I added a mould of an Imperial Guard torso and added some plasticard webbing. Anvil Industries leg were used and Cadian arms (with the shoulder pads removed). Milliput was used to join/smooth out the gaps. The gauntlets were taken from a mould of an old Warhammer Chaos Warrior. A Chaos Icon belt buckle was added and the lasgun was taken from the Imperial Armour sprue. I think this came out well - I just need to do a good paint job on this.

I wanted a WW1 German like model with this one. I used a freebie head I received from Spellcrow when I ordered some legs and arms. The German head with gasmask was added to a Cadian torso and DKoK legs. DKoK arms were added with some spikes attached. I used a Necromunda knife as a bayonet and a Chaos Icon belt buckle to finish this one.

I wanted to make another chainsaw wielding berserker using a Necromunda Redemptionist as a base. I removed the flamer from the chainsaw and used milliput to fill in the gap. I added a Chaos Icon breastplate (taken from a mould from a FW Chaos Renegade) and an Anvil Industries head.

I wanted to make a Scuba/Deep Sea themed model for this one. I used a Cadian torso, arms and legs and removed all the folds and excess material. Milliput was used to fill/smooth the gaps. A bald head from Anvil was used and milliput was used to make a "rubber balaclava". A Cadian rebreather mould was used for the face mask and a Green Stuff World tentacle maker was used to make the hose pipes to the Air tank (a re-purposed flamer tank).  A Genestealer Cult shotgun was converted to a spear gun by adding a spike from the Chaos vehicle sprue with some spares attached to his right thigh. A knife was attached to his left ankle with some plasticard straps. I added some belt weights from some sprue and plasticard and a Chaos Icon belt buckle to finish.

This model comes from the Bloodbowl Reikland Reavers team. I added lots of spikes to make him "chaosified". I added a Chaos Icon breastplate from a mould of a FW Chaos Renegade. A laspistol was added to the hip and I armed him with a sword from an AOS Skeleton.

I love this female BSF Chaos Cultist as she has a great pose.

This human Bloodbowl figure has been made into a Chaos warrior by adding a sword and a GS autopistol. Spikes were also added on the shoulder pad from some Empire flagellants flails.

I believe this is a Warcry model which I've added a Chaos Warrior sword and axe. Milliput was used to fill the gaps and a mould of a Necromunda Goliath head was chosen.

This human Bloodbowl player has had a Catachan laspistol added alongside a Chaos Warrior axe. He was also kitted out with a mould of a holster, grenades and a knife.

The head and torso comes from a 3d resin print of a Scottish highlander. He was 32mm's so a bit too big, so I swopped his kilt for a Warcry pair of legs. Warcry axes were added alongside a mould of a Chaos Icon belt buckle and a mould of a holstered laspistol.

I wanted to make an American WW2 as I was given a free Spellcrow head of an American GI head. I paired it with a Mad Robot Miniatures torso   with a mould of Spellcrow arms. The Thompson machine gun came from Zinge Industries with equipment from GW kits. The legs came from a Cadian leg mould alongside a mould of a pair of Necromunda Orlock feet. To ensure his loyalty, I added a Chaos Icon belt buckle.

I converted this human Bloodbowl Thrower?? by swopping his right arm with a Genestealer Cult shotgun and by replacing his head with an Anvil Industries Bulletproof mask. Chaos icons were added by milliput on his left shoulder pad and chest armour. Frag grenades and a pistol holster were added to finish this one.

This "fallen scion" has a scion head, backpack and arms with a Cadian torso and Catachan legs. Milliput was used to fill/smooth the gaps. Spikes were added to his shoulder pads with a Chaos Icon belt buckle to finish.

This cultist has an Empire Flagellant body, with a SOB Novitiate arms and weapon and a Necromunda Outcast head.

This Chaos DKoK like trooper uses the legs from DKoK, but with Anvil Industries Winter Greatcoat torso and Zombie head. A pair of Cadian arms were used (with the right shoulder pad removed) with spikes added to the left shoulder pad.

I plan on painting this trooper in a pastel Hussar like uniform. He has a Mad Robot Miniatures torso with a Warhammer Empire Outrider head. He has gloved hands (mould from a Chaos Warrior), Cadian legs (from a mould) with Necromunda Jack boots (mould from a Necromundan Orlock). He is armed with a DKoK laspistol and an AOS Skeleton sword. A Chaos Icon belt buckle was used to finish this one.

I saw this model on Etsy and had to have it. It's a Russian sniper which I converted by swopping the feet (the existing model has small feet and not "heroic" enough). His existing sniper rifle was removed and a DKoK lasgun was added with an Adeptus Mechanicus silencer. I used the telescopic scope from the existing model to finish.

This model has the torso from an Empire flagellant. I added an AK47 and bare arms from Anvil Industries and the head is either from the Necromunda Outcasts or the Cadian upgrade sprue - sorry I can't remember!!

This model has a DKoK torso. The head and arms are from Anvil Industries whilst the boots are a mould from a Necromunda Orlock. The epaulettes are from a mould from a Mordian. The lasgun is from a Necromunda Escher.

This model has the torso from an Empire flagellant. The arms and lasgun are from a Necromunda Escher. I think the head comes from a Necromunda Outcast.

I wanted the biggest range of different uniforms. Once I saw this from Black Scorpion Miniatures, I knew I had to convert it to Chaos. I swopped the feet (the existing ones here not heroic scale) with some from a mould from a BSF Traitor Guard. I gave him a GS Cult autogun and added a Chaos icon to reflect his beliefs.

 

This model comes from Black Scorpion Miniatures. It's a 28mm model and isn't the same size as the normal "heroic" scale, but it was such a cool piece, I had to get him. I added a Necromunda Enforcer pistol and chainsword to bring this trooper into the 40k world.

I used to have a few of the old human bombs when they first came out, but then sold them all on ebay! I then bought one recently as I had the idea of converting one to look like they are running towards their target. I chopped the legs off (I hate lead models!) and swopped them for a pair of legs from one of the Chaos cultists from BSF. I added Catachan arms with milliput to fill the gaps.

This gnarly penal trooper was made entirely out of milliput from moulds (apart from the Necromunda Outcast knife and pistol). I've basecoated a couple of penal trooper using Army Painter Fur Brown spray. I plan on using Vince V's (Youtuber) idea to then use Barbarian flesh (drybrushed rather than sprayed) followed by a zenital white drybrush to hopefully make painting the flesh and orange jumpsuits easier. I'll show some updates when I get them.

This trooper is the first of 5 Vietnam themed models I've made. His head, torso and feet are from Mad Robot Miniatures (the torso and feet are taken from moulds). The legs are from a Catachan mould (I think) and his arms and M16 (?) are from Anvil Industries. I've also kitted him out with a Catachan backpack (mould) with grenades, knife and pistol. I really like how this turned out and one day, I may make a few more of these.

This model has a Mad Robot Miniatures head (very Teutonic I thought) with a mould of an officers torso and Cadian legs (with a side stripe added). His feet come from a mould of a Chaos Traitor Guard BSF trooper and arms and weapon from the Adeptus Mechanicus. Moulds of Space Marine pouches were added alongside a holster. A Chaos Icon belt buckle was used to finish.

This is a Black Scorpion Miniatures Scottish Highlander. I removed his dinky legs and replaced them with moulds from a Victoria Miniatures Kilted legs. Milliput was then used to sculpt a knee and leg muscles etc. I added a laspistol and Catachan sword across his back to finish.
 

I wanted to do a homage to the SAS in the Iran Embassy era. The head, arms and Heckler & Koch came from Anvil Industries (with the legs from a mould of an Anvil Industries). The torso and feet are from a mould from Mad Robot Miniatures. As usual, a Chaos Icon belt buckle was added to show loyalty.

This 3d resin print had a laspistol and sword added to bring him into the 40k universe.

My wife has been watching a lot of Outlander and it seems to have rubbed off on me! This Scottish Highlander comes from Black Scorpion Miniatures. The feet and sword were too thin for the heroic scale the 40k universe is set in, so I swopped the feet with a pair of moulded gaiters and boots from a Victoria Miniatures kilt wearing pair of legs and the sword with an AOS skeleton. A Chaos Icon was also added to his belt.

This hussar was made from multiple moulds (Mad Robot Miniature torso, Anvil Industries arms, Catachan legs and Necromunda Orlock boots). A laspistol and Deathrattle skeleton sword were added to a Warhammer head (can't remember which kit this came from).

This cultist has managed to get his hand on some good riot kit. The head is from Anvil Industries alongside a mould of one of their cowboy space arms. A Necromunda Outcast torso mould was used due to it's funky frontal armour with (I think) a Victoria Miniatures leg mould (with plasticard hoops added) and a mould of some lace up boots from Mad Robot Miniatures. He has a DKoK lasgun with some milliput to fill some gaps and a flail from the Necromunda Outcast set.   
 

This model has a FW Chaos Renegade torso with some DKoK arms. The legs/robes come from a mould of a Dark Vengeance cultist with the feet from moulds of a Warcry model.

This Tallarn like  model has a head from a mould from Spellcrow, with the torso from a Mad Robot Miniatures mould. The arms are from the SoB with DKoK legs and feet from a Mad Robot Miniatures mould.

This French Foreign Legionnaire has a head from Mad Robot Miniatures with the torso and feet from a Mad Robot Miniatures mould. The legs and right arm are from a mould from Anvil Industries, The epaulettes are from a mould from a Mordian Guard. The front pouches are from a mould of a SM pouch.

This Renegade Officer has the coat and left hand from the Scions box. The head is a mould from the BSF Chaos Traitor Guardsman with a torso from Mad Robot Miniatures. The legs are from a mould from a Victoria Miniatures model with legs from a mould from the Necromunda Orlock range.

The head comes from Mad Robot Miniatures with the torso from a mould (also from Mad Robot Miniatures). The arms are from a Necromunda Outcast with moulded epaulettes (from a Mordian Guard). The legs are from a mould of a Cadian legs with a converted milliput stripe added. The feet are from moulds of a BSF Chaos Traitor Guard.

This prisoner has Victoria Miniatures torso and legs from moulds. I added Warcry bare feet from moulds and finished with Necromunda Outcast arms and a DKoK bayonet.

This Hazmat guy again comes from a 3D print from ebay. As he was 32mm, I chopped his legs of at the shins and removed a few millimetres. Milliput was used to fill the gaps.

This Highlander comes from Black Scorpion Miniatures. As he was not "heroic" scale, he was a bit small. I chopped his feet off and added some shin/boots from a Victoria Miniatures mould. I added a Chaos Icon onto his shield from a mould from a Chaos Rhino hatch part.

I bought a Solar Auxilia FW model from ebay and made a few moulds of his helmet and legs. I used these on an Anvil Industries torso with a FW Chaos Renegade Chaos Icon added to his chest. His legs are a mould from a Cadian pair of legs with a milliput stripe down the centre of each leg and some small buckles from a Necromunda Goliath mould. Scion arms were added to finish.

And finally .....

I wanted to make a British WW2 Desert Rat, so started with an Anvil head, arms and Bren Gun. The legs are from a Catachan pair chopped off at the knees. I had to resculpt a pair of bare knees with milliput and then added them to a pair of socks and boots from a 3D resin print from a Scottish Bloodbowl model. Plasticard strips were used to make webbing and a Catachan backpack from a mould was also added to reinforce the WW2 feel.

Update time:

I really liked the Bulletproof masks from Anvil Industries. They make cheap, excellent quality bits for conversions. I used arms and an AK-47 from Anvil with a Genestealer Cult torso on a GW Empire Great Sword legs. The boots were from a mould taken from a BSF Blackstone Traitor Guardsman.

This model has a Solar Auxilia head (taken from a mould) on a Necromunda Outcast torso and legs. I removed all of the ribs off the shin guards and used milliput to make them smooth. Anvil Industries bare arms and a Cadian lasgun were used to finish.

This Drookian Fenguard has a GS Cult head on a Victoria Miniatures torso and legs. I added a tube from the rebreather from Greenstuff World's tentacle maker. Anvil Industries arms and weapon were used. I added an extra magazine taped to the other for quick mag changes.

I wanted to make a Vietnam era Navy SEAL. I used a Mad Robot Miniatures Beanie Hat head with a DaNamian torso. Anvil Industries arms and M16 were added. A mould taken from a pair of Cadian legs was used alongside a mould of BSF Traitor Guardsman boots. A mould of a Catachan backpack was added alongside a Chaos Icon belt buckle to finish.

And finally ....

After seeing the Roman Heads from Mad Robot Miniatures, I knew I had to make a Roman Centurion. I added the head to an original Imperial Guard torso (from a mould). Anvil Industries bare arms with a DKoK lasgun was added. I added "Lorica Manica" from thin strips of plasticard and a rivet and then attached them to the bottom of the shoulder pads. I added some Warcry legs as they were wearing leather sandals. I then attached a large shield (I think from Bitzbox) with a plasticard strap. I finished with a Chaos belt buckle and a large Chaos Icon on the shield.

Till next time, Phil.

Update time:

I loved this Sheriff from Black Scorpion Miniatures and wanted it. I removed his tiny feet and replaced them with some boots I had made from a mould. Milliput was then used to resculpt the trousers. I finished painting this one recently and will start showing some of my newest zenithal primer pieces in the near future.

This was a simple conversion. I got the Elysian trooper bits from various bits suppliers. He had a hunched appearance, so I used a razor saw to give him a more laid back look and used milliput to fill in the gap. A Chaos Icon belt buckle was used to show his fall from the Emperor's light!

This 3D resin print I got on Etsy. I removed his halberd and added a DKoK lasgun with a Catachan knive/bayonet. Milliput was used to make a glove and a Necromunda Orlock boot mould was used. I added a holstered pistol and a Chaos Icon to finish. 

This Traitor Guard has DKoK legs and arms. The head and torso are from Mad Robot Miniatures. Spikes were added to the shoulder pads. A Chaos Icon was added to the belt buckle with an empty holster. I got the mace head from an old Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist.

And finally.....

I've always wanted a Solar Auxilia squad, but the cost was too prohibitive so I bought 1 from a bits supplier. I made moulds of his feet and head to use in future conversions. I added a Chaos Icon on his front breastplate from a mould from a FW Chaos Renegade. 

Till next time, Phil.

You’ve added a heck of a lot of models! How many traitor guard do you have now? I’d be interested in seeing a group shot. 

[Rusted Boltgun]

Wow! So many creations and all so different (but tied in when painted, really cool).

You must have a lot of moulds?! Do you store them with a photo or description of the output?

Give  your output, there any reason why you use Milliput over something you could buy in larger quantities like Apoxie Sculpt?

Not sure I can pick a favourite but I'm looking forward to seeing the running Vietnam character painted up.

It's on my list of things to do Shovellovin. Some are boxed away already finished with lots more dotted around various parts of the house. When I feel up to it, I'll take some group shots. I think it is pushing 300 models at the moment. With the arrival of the new GW Chaos Traitor Guard and Cultists (I bought £30 worth of bits a few weeks ago only to find I could have bought the whole Traitor Guard kit for £40 - annoying!!) I'm sure I will breakout the silicon putty again and make lots more conversions.

To be honest Rusted Boltgun, I have them in themes e.g. boots etc and try and keep at least one milliput copy in the same bag so I know what each mould is. Sometimes that doesn't work and I'm not sure what the mould is for - I just put some milliput in and once hardened, I remove the milliput and see what it is. I then have a continuous stream of ready bits for use in future conversions.

 

With regards to Apoxie Sculpt, it's not something I've ever used nor has it been in any model shops I've visited. I've seen others use it online, but I feel comfortable with milliput - it holds detail really well and it can be sanded. It's surprising how long one box of milliput lasts and I normally go on ebay and bulk buy,  finding the cheapest price (normally less than £10 for 3 boxes)

With regards to the Vietnam character you refer to .....

Update time:

I wanted to make a small Vietnam squad after seeing heads, torsos and legs from Mad Robot Miniatures and arms and weapons from Anvil Industries. After making various moulds and lots of conversions, I made these:

After a black primer, I drybrushed a light grey all over followed by another drybrush of white to get zenithal like shading. I then went to work with the Contrasts and Speed Paints .....

I've read about the Green Berets supposedly wearing denim jeans rather than combat fatigues in Vietnam (but in a recent podcast I listened to, the guy said that never happened). Hey ho, rule of cool wins and I painted this trooper with some jeans. 

And a group shot:

I used a brushed on matt varnish to protect them BUT I think this has caused the Speed Paint I used on the fatigues and helmets to reactivate and made the white undercoat visible. You live and learn.

If anybody has any questions, feel free to ask.

Update time:

I wanted to have an American Civil War Union soldier, so I bought some brilliant heads from Mad Robot Miniatures and added this to one of their torso's. I used a mould of Cadian legs with a mould of Necromunda Orlock. Anvil Industries arms were used with a Necromunda Escher lasgun.

This Chaos Traitor Shock Trooper has a Mad Robot Miniature head and torso with a Necromunda Outcast legs and DKoK arms. I added a DKoK lasgun across his back with a thin plasticard strap (with a mould taken from a DKoK clasp). The usual spikes were added to the shoulder pads.

This Napoleonic British Chaos Traitor Guard has an Anvil Industries head with a Mad Robot Miniatures torso on a Victoria Miniatures kilted legs. DKoK arms were chosen with a backpack with added plasticard straps. A Chaos Icon belt buckle and holster were added to finish.

And finally ....

Here's one of my 3D resin Hazmat guys. I added an autopistol and a Warcry knife. Lots of blood was added to give a grimy chaos feel.

I added Dark Vengeance Chaos Cultist autopistol and knife to this model.

And this is a group shot of the Hazmat squad.

Till next time, Phil.

Thanks for the insights, much appreciated. I like the idea of producing small extras to individualise (can't think of a better term) models. 

I like the denim clad guy, a shame about the speedpaint issue.

That Shock Trooper in the recent updates looks...shocking!

Thank you for your comments. Individualise/personalise, take your pick Rusted Boltgun :) I was aware of the Speed Paint re-activation issue but hoped the brush on varnish wouldn't have an effect - I'll need to spray it on in future. 

Update time:

I wanted to use some of the Anvil Industries (not) Valhallan heads. I paired it with an Anvil Industries Winter Greatcoat and arms. The legs and Melta gun are from the DKoK range. Milliput was used to fill any gaps.

I wanted to make a kilted barbarian, so I used a bare chest mould (from Mad Robot Miniatures) on a kilt (mould from Victoria Miniatures) on Warcry sandals (again from a mould). Bare arms were from Anvil Industries with a head from a Warhammer Empire Flagellant (I think) and an autogun from the SoB.

This mainly comes from a Bloodbowl figure, I added a Chaos Marauder axe and a new head (not sure where that came from - Necromunda Goliath?)

This Warcry model has had a small axe added, but otherwise is stock.

This swashbuckler comes from Black Scorpion Miniatures. I swopped the miniscule sword with a Deathrattle Skeleton sword and the tiny flint-lock with a DKoK laspistol.

And finally ...

Here's one of my Penal troopers. I added a Chaos icon upon his chest. It's from mould of Victoria Miniature bits (head? and legs) and a Mad Robot Miniatures bare torso with Anvil Industry arms. The feet are from a BSF Chaos Traitor Guard mould.

 

This Penal trooper has a bare chest from Mad Robot Miniatures. It has moulds of Victoria Miniature bits (head? and legs) and Catachan arms. The feet are from a BSF Chaos Traitor Guard mould and a GSC shotgun.

Please feel to ask any questions. Regards, Phil.
