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.

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
