Modelling a Chaos Cult Army |
Priests: Use a Mordheim
Possessed Magister (110100101). Clip off his raised axe, and replace it with the
weapon your Priest is carrying. Other suitable models that take a minimum of
converting include:
Magus: Use the Necromunda Wyrd Telepath (059905201), as is. His staff already has a Chaos star complete with the Eye of Horus on his staff. Possessed Cultists: Use Chaos Cultist models, with small mutations (skull heads, tentacles in place of arms, etc.). Beastmen: Use Beastmen from any Chaos Beastmen range, and simply add any weapons you wish (such as autopistol). Cultists: Use Chaos Cultist models, available from Games Workshop Mail Order. Some minor converting may be needed to give them assault or heavy weapons. You can also mix in some Imperial Guard figures, Catachans work best. You can also use Imperial Preachers (010802201, 010802202, and 010802203) as Demagogues. Other models that work for Chaos Cultists include:
Truck Assault Squad: Use normal Chaos Cultist models. You can add in some of the same models as a Cultist squad for Demagogues, etc. Cultist Bikers: Use Ork Warbikes. Leave off the twin-linked big shootas and file off the Evil Sunz symbol. Replace the Ork torso and head with either Catachan or Goliath (Necromunda) torsos and heads. Trucks: Use the GorkaMorka Digga Trukk (978953). Clip off the barrel of the heavy bolter and replace it with a long thin plastic tube for a barrel. Gun Trucks: Use the GorkaMorka Digga Trukk (978953). Add on three autocannons in suitable locations. Heavy Weapon Squad: Use normal Chaos Cultist models. You'll need to do some minor converting for heavy and assault weapons. You can also mix in some Imperial Guard figures, Catachans work best. Captured Vehicles: Use the normal vehicle kit, modifying it to have Chaos symbols attached and nailed-on armour plates. Paint the vehicle in a suitable colour scheme. A nice touch for the painting is to make it appear as if the vehicle was hastily repainted from its original colours, with some of the old paint job showing through the new paint job. |
