Kitbashed Crazies 1-3

This is a new feature that resulted in me being inspired by a multitude of folks online. I decided to start mutilating some of my standing miniatures and building them anew. 

Here is a Lord of Don Hel, the God of Death in Tralan.

And a bird-faced mutant and below a regal creature of some kind. I may use him as a guardian or a sage in our RPG sessions.

Cleaver the Choppa

Cleaver the Choppa and his entourage are up for sale on eBay.

Badass tournament winners, these guys may now be moving onto another home.

Orktober Lay Dee Boyz: The Viking

With Halloween and Orktober both within the month I decided to work on my Shadespire team. Like many I get a little tired of GWs lack of female models, so for fun I have turned my Shadespire war band into an all female cast. These Lay Dee Boyz appreciate human beauty and aspire to mix their alluring visage with sheer brutal force. 

Vigga Thomine is the fearsome leader of a ruthless warband in the arctic wastes of Tralan. Her flaming axes keep her warm even in the harshest nights.

Orktober Lay Dee Boyz: The Pirate

With Halloween and Orktober both within the month I decided to work on my Shadespire team. Like many I get a little tired of GWs lack of female models, so for fun I have turned my Shadespire war band into an all female cast. These Lay Dee Boyz appreciate human beauty and aspire to mix their alluring visage with sheer brutal force. 

Roxi "Da Bomb" Tush, was once one of the most cutthroat pirates of Santi. When the Royal Fleet came to stamp out corruption in the merchant kingdom, Roxi fled and left her crew to take the fall. Now she roams the open seas around the seven isles looking for worthy allies and to sink anyone else.

The Strongman

Another entry to the slowly expanding freak show.

Kaiba Au

I received a War Machine miniature as a stocking filler and in my frustration of gluing it, I decided  to just give her new hands. One is a zombie hand and the other a lizardman's. She stands almost double the height of a standard heroic scale figure.

Creating Chaos Spawn

Illustration from the Chaos Space Marine codex

"A Chaos Spawn is a mindless mutant creature who once belonged to one of the intelligent races of the galaxy and who has become so mutated through his or her servitude to Chaos that he or she has devolved into a twisted and insane abomination. Those seeking immortality and power through the ultimate attainment of daemonhood in service to the Ruinous Powers face the constant possibility of being reduced to Chaos Spawn, either by accumulating too many mutations or being cast aside by their Chaos patrons as unworthy of further advancement because of their consistent failure to serve the will of the Chaos Gods. More simply, they may lack the inherent qualities required for successful leadership of other Chaotic servants and thus be of no further use to their patrons. Chaos warband members who are transformed into Chaos Spawn will either be abandoned by their former comrades or kept as pets or as cannon fodder, to be herded into battle along with the rest of the Lost and the Damned." - Warhammer Wiki

Stepping into the world of Chaos with my Space Marine army I was expecting Chaos Spawn to look like a mix of the Thing and Tetsuo in Akira. Instead we are faced with this:

Rather than investing in these PG certificate daemons, I decided to make my own out of spare bits and greenstuff. this is the result.

In making this chaos spawn I wanted to get across the hopelessness of the champion that has been corrupted.  Cursed for being unworthy of the power that they could not comprehend.  I intend to make another five in time, but for now this little chap should do.

Obliterators

In my pursuit of making a Chaos army on the cheap I have decided to make obliterators and maulers from bits of old marines that I had lying around. These are my first big conversions that I have attempted.

So far I have finished three obliterators and started on one mauler.  I remembered to take some progress shots this time. They have not only performed incredibly well on the table but also received a lot of compliments during games.

A Heretic and the Loyalists

With my games expanding I am allying with different factions.  this means that my heretical Canis Aureus cannot hack it anymore, I need some loyalists to ally with Imperial factions.

The Loyalists

Today I painted some loyalist marines and also one of my head heretics: Ferenus Gothchannius Biobelis
