Helloween: Lord Of Skulls/ Imperial Knight Kitbash: It's NOT a Kytan damn you!

Look, I already know what you are saying: "TJ shut up, bro, it's a Kytan." and you'd probably be right, which is why I am posting these blue-tac fittings to get some advice from the creative souls on the blogosphere (well, for those of us left).

Mutalith Vortex Beast Converted from a Ghorgon/ Cygor Kit

When I was building my Tzaangor, the Mutalith kit was out of stock at GW, so I made my own out of an old Ghorgon kit from AOS that I had laying in the bits box. Basically, I wanted him to be a big Tzaangor! Let's take a look at him!

We are Back: Alpha Legion Sorcerer and Noise Marines!

Hey guys, I am back from a long break here to begin posting on the blog again. I've been using social media much more in the last two years, but I do miss the long format provided by blog posts. That said, It is time to dig in on what I have been working on.

Alpha Legion Khorne Berzerker Conversions from Primaris Reivers and FW bits

I've made some Khorne Berzerkers for my Alpha Legion. I really liked what I did with my Agressor Conversions so I decided to use Primaris Marine Reivers as a base for my berzerkers. I wanted to add some seriously Khornate stuff, but leave them a little toned down and give them the "behind enemy lines feel," so I left chainswords off the menu and went with only blades (another reason to use the Reivers). I also used the Forge World berzerkers helmets and shaved off the huge crests (bunny ears to the initiated, lol). Let's take a look though ...

Alpha Legion Cultists: First Batch

TJ here with some Alpha Legion Cultists. I assembled these guys three days before a GT, so I didn't get to convert them, so I am using paint to make them just different enough. Fortunatley, AL gives you a selection of color to use to make models a little more unique.

Alpha Legion Obliterator Conversions from Primaris Aggressors!

TJ here with some Alpha Legion Primari ... um I mean Obliterators! In all seriousness, I love the idea of ALpha Legion getting their hands on Primaris Gene Seed and corrupting it! These Aggressor models make great oblits with some slight modifications. Let's see what I did ...

A Typhus Conversion and Dreadnought step forward for Helloween 2017

TJ here to rock some simple starter kit conversions for my Death Guard. Now DG are not a priority army for me right now. I have my Alpha Legion and World Eaters taking most of my attention at the moment. This means that any DG I make are going to come from kits I already own or from the seven, YES seven! Dark Imperium Nurgle sets I have been gifted or discount sold by my friends.

First off is Typhus. Yes, I know, he is another conversion based on the Lord of Contagion, but it's what I have to work with. Hopefully, I have made him unique enought with the addition of some Destroyer Hive flies thanks to the Maggoth kit and a scyth also from the same kit.

Maggoth Foetid Bloat Drone Conversion! Helloween 2017

TJ here with my late entries to the DFG tradition of Helloween! I always create or paint horrific models around this time of year and share them here in celebration of Halloween! Today we will look at one of the few Foetid Bloat Drones I converted with the Maggoth kit! Let's check this gasbag out!

Building a better Chaos Marine Tank! Vehicle Upgrades Done Right by The Dark Works!

 For years, I have wished somebody would make good Chaos gear for Rhinos, Predators, Land Raiders and well everything. Somebody finally made them!

I think the "Just add spikes" approach is lazy. Forge World once had the extra armor kits, but seems to have gotten out of the 40k traitor business, which is a shame.

Nowadays, what's a heretic astartes to do? I know: call the Dark Works and check out their stuff ...

Chaos Space Marine Unit Reviews: 20 games in!

So far, I have 20 games of 8th edition under my belt and I have used quite a few units in my games and have developed some thoughts on those units that I figured I'd share based on experience. I have mostly played Death Guard Detachments, but I have played quite a few other detachments in Chaos as well. I have managed to collect a great winning streak and I feel like I should start tallying all the Storm Ravens I have killed (at least 15 of them). Hopefully, you can glean something from my write-up, especially if you just haven't had as much time to get games in as I have. I will limit this review to only the units I have played.

Dual Wielding Berzerker: Hollywood Zerk #4

TJ here with Hollywood Berzerker number 4. Gris, the dual pistol wielding zerk is a part of the original squad I converted back in 2009 and it feels nice to get some paint on him. Let's take a look at how he turned out.

Alas Sicarius, I knew him well: Hollywood Berzerker #3

TJ here with another of my converted Zerks. This one has some massive bragging rights as he carries the helm of the Ultramarines' second company commander. I will let the reader decide whether that is Sicarius or perhaps some commander from the past. Anyway, let's take a look at the model:

It Came from the Forums: QOrbin's Conversions and alternative paint scheme!

TJ here with another edition of It Came from the Forums. This time we are looking at QOrbin's work from Dakka Dakka!

Garrax, the Crimson Mist, Khorne Berzerker #1 painted

TJ here with the first painted Berzerkers for my World Eaters. Garrax is one of the eight berzerkers I made for the 8 days of Khornemas in Dec. 2009. These guys were all converted to the best of my ability at the time and with a new Khorne-specific codex, I figured I would get them painted up. Let's take a look at the first member of the squad.

It Came from the Forums: Vonkessler and his mind blowing conversions, Titans and Much More!

TJ here with another edition of It Came from the Forums and this one is for the hobbyists that love HUGE, intense conversions and sick paint jobs. This is Vonkessler's expertise and I am about to make your dork endorphins go into overdrive with his incredible work. Let's take a look!

Khorne Berzerker Freehand Armor for World Eaters WIP: Opinions Required!

TJ here to ask for your opinions on a paint scheme I am working on for my World Eaters. I have free handed skulls and Khorne symbols on the larger surfaces. Right now only half the model has the new paint scheme applied to the red parts of the armor and most of the details are better visible in the photos below. 

Glottkin Lamprey Maulerfiend Conversion Painted!

TJ here with another insane conversion monster painted and ready for battle. Today I am showing off the panther (or lamprey) Maulerfiend conversion I made from the Glottkin arms. Let's take a look:

DIY Dreadclaw from a Drop Pod Conversion Tutorial Revisited!

TJ AKA Old School Terminator (I love dropping names I haven't used since 2012) here to talk about converting Dreadclaws for your Chaos or you 30k army using just a single drop pod kit (technically less than the whole kit). I really dig the fact that using units like the Dreadclaw is becoming more widely accepted. Playing with these units shouldn't break a player's budget and it also shouldn't force them to resort to using the dreaded Pepsi Bottle Proxy. I want to revisit this tutorial, brush up the explanations and help distribute it to a whole other generation of players. Let's take a look.

GW Alternative: Affordable Nurgle, Khorne Bikers/ Jetbike from Puppetswar

TJ here to talk about some minis that interested me for two reasons: Price and potential. These Doom Bikers from Puppetswar, a company my friends and I have had some great experiences with, not only blow away the old GW bike sculpts (for Chaos players in this case in particular), but also come in cheaper than the GW plastic bikes. They also have a jet bike! Let's take a look at the bikes, their options and talk price point.

Glottkin Maulerfiend, Spined Beast Conversion Finished and Based! One of my Favorite Works!



TJ here to show off what I would consider one of my best conversions/ kitbashes: The Panther. This project has been a ton of fun and I have challenged myself to try techniques I am unfamiliar with and a gravity defying pose. I am extremely proud to show this off here so let's take a look around this fecund feline!
