ive been collecting chaos space marines for about 10 years (word bearers) and i adore the classic sculpts with the over the top horns and tusks. quick maths informs me youve got about 940 points. not including the 6th terminator.

[@Grymbaldknight]

Fellow Chaos collector here. Although the 3.5 Codex was the best Chaos Codex in terms of army-building, I do think 6th edition was the peak of the Chaos "aesthetic", as is shown here. Hard to believe that those days were 20 and 10 years ago, respectively. Wow.

Current points are 940, so you could easilly run this as a strike force with an extra character.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

It would be a mammoth project but if I make it I will upload it.

[@sevenproxies4255]

I remember trying to make a traitor guard army (using an Imperial Guard Codex, but making the minis look like they're aligned to chaos). Those cultist models would've certainly come in handy for that, but they were released much later than my little project. So i had to make a rag-tag looking armed mob to represent my traitor guardsmen. I used a lot of heads, arms and bodies from the plastic flagellants set from WHFB. I also remember using torsos and heads from the plastic ghouls set from WHFB snd combining them with Catachan Jungle fighter legs to create a kind of hump backed, mutant look for some of them. Kitbashing is a lot of fun 😄

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

That sounds like a great project

[@Bluecho4]

Funny. I was just today considering grabbing a few Raptors from the secondary market, to paint as Night Lords. Not to start a whole army, I don't think. Not yet, anyway. But just for the sake of having another warband for skirmish games, like Grimdark Future: Firefight. A mobile contingent of melee troops would contrast well against my Fallen, Drukhari Kabalites, and Tzeentch Horrors.

[@Miniscape-wh40k]

That's a warband to be proud of, great work - and you've definitely got my attention with that tease of a pukka oldhammer warband. I'd suggest 'a heresy of chaos space marines' for the collective noun, not very creative, but the classics are classic because they work. As you often do, besides showcasing your minis, you really take me back to the old days, poring over those Eavy Metal pages in the old codices and White Dwarf - I remember well those photos you featured. I just picked up the new Tyranid codex and, like the 9th edition ones I have, the showcase pages just don't seem as attention-grabbing as the old ones - all those staged 'battle' shots taking up half of every page, when all I really want is a Brady Bunch looking grid of individual minis, to really study each one and get ideas from, with plenty of varied colour schemes and conversions like the used to do; not a conversion in sight with the new Nids, and only a couple of bugs in a different colour scheme to the Leviathan one (I kind of suspect just because they didn't have newly-painted examples of those miniatures so they went back to old ones kept in storage from when Behemoth was the 'standard' colours). I'm still taking inspiration from the 2nd and 3rd edition chaos codices today for conversions, whether directly, or just the impression they left that chaos warbands are an open invitation to go to town on your minis. I'm sure you don't have to worry about that Slaaneshi chap in the ranks, it just means he really enjoys being a Night Lord - I've actually got a former Night Lord in my own warband, with a armour on their assault cannon still blue with lighting bolts, so they balance out.

Awesome night lords Matthew! I actually don't collect chaos marines but through job lots i also have ended up with a handful or two of them....and lo and behold....they have made excellent little projects to de-chaos-ify for lack of a better term.....and use them in my dark angels. For example, an old pewter ahriman and another chaos sorcerer became librarians after some head swaps and some cutting and filing....and i have a chaplain converted from a pewter kharn the betrayer.....and there's a couple of pewter chaos terminators and plastic marines bits to work with still.....among a few others....but all that cool trim on the armour and unique backpacks and even their weapons become quite useful when trying to kitbash veterans or techmarines or lieutenants and whatnot. Great work and here's to seeing more of it in the future! Cheers!
