Spacenam conversion idea


  • hey Guys,

    I came up with a simple concept sketch for a Chaos Cult shocktrooper focusing on the raw strength aspect. I plan on using the spacenam figures and the upgrade sprue heads as a Base. The rest will be greenstuff and parts from the bits Box.

    What do you think?



  • Dig it!  Even though Chaos isn't my bag, Chaos players always bring the goods with conversions, since G-Dub doesn't usually have the requisite models (corrupted IG, Dark Mechanicus, etc.).

    Can't wait to see these guys!

    Great concept sketch and great idea.  Those guys are going to be scary.  They have the feel of troops/cultists sworn to Khorne to me.

    How are you adding the spikes?  Green stuff?  


  • @JTam either greenstuff, spikey bits from the bits box or like i recently did on my Primaris Night Lords steel wire

     


  • Something like these might be good for variety. 

    I got some mainly for scratch bashing terrain, but they would probably look the part.

    I've seen some nicely detailed cocktail spears on Amazon before, I should grab some some day. If they aren't good enough for models, they will probably do for terrain or I start drinking.

    I would love a "spikes and Trophy racks" kit like the GW skulls kit.

    The steel wire looks the part.  Might be careful handling the mini though - Khorne does not care from where the blood flows ;)


  • Yeah... I'd have thought you could get the same effect with plastic rod for much less risk to fingers.


  • @Andreas Mayrhofer 

    There's an obvious way to get the spikes you need for this conversion.

    DeChaosify the Traiter Guard from Blackstone Fortress/Kill Team by cutting off all their spikes to make them into Loyal Guardsmen.

    Then Chaosify the Loyal Guardsmen SpaceNam guys with the spikes you took from the Blackstone Fortress/Kill Team guys to make them Traitor Guard.

    Profit!
