    World Eaters : Troopers!

    Hello folks! Quick update to show some Marines I painted last weeks. I added these new lads to complete my collection, no specific gaming needs. You probably recognize those sculpted by Dave Andrews, a bit bigger than classic RT Chaos Marines. I slightly re-oriented and/or changed arms to get out of "in the plan" position. 

    I also relooked some slaaneshy Marines in True Chaos Marines of Khorne :) basique heads swap, nothing more. To finish, I gratified these minis by a couple of WE metal shoulder pads I founds on eBay last years at a decent price, still possible for patient people.

    I made 3 objectives markers with  several pieces which remain in my bit box, last parts of the projet recycled! I seeking on eBay (again!) to find some dead Marines from RT range in order to made more markers but prices are too extravagant... I give up!

    2. Great reinforcements for the Khone hosts! Unfortunately Ebay can make great promises and then put disproportionate prices between you and the object of your desires ...
      The markers are very effective, and the poses in which you have placed the corpses of the marines are really realistic. Also due to the cost of the miniatures on Ebay, we have scruples in trying to modify the old metal miniatures, for fear of making a mess. Any tip before picking up the cutter?

      1. Ahoy Rodor! If you want to mark your difference on the Oldschool miniature scene, a good way is to modify your minis, definitely :) Start with small conversions. My best advise is to use a blunt scalpel to scratch you models.

    6. I really enjoy seeing how you blend the early and the later Rogue Trader Troopers together in your projects. It's a real joy seeing a vintage force that unusually extends the ingredient ranges just so slightly past the RoC books to things like the Dave Andrews Worldeaters.

      1. Hey Curis,Dave's sculptures are the marks of a new era, definitely out of Rogue Trader spirit but significative in the WE models history. I can't build a WE army without them :) Even if they're not my favorites models! Cheers!

    7. Encore bravo Nico, et merci d'avoir exhumé ces figurines d'anthologie, pour qu'on les découvre ou redécouvre. Je lis dans ton dernier com que tu vas nous emmener faire un tour dans les donjons ?...me dis pas que tu vas nous sortir des figus Citadel de la série AD&D ? Là, il y a de sacrés raretés aussi.
