Star Phantoms

[Ithmaril]

I'm aware of none, but I'm not too deep into the 40k scene of Munich yet (since I've been studying here, it was mainly busy times), and maybe I can change something about that.

[Ithmaril]

So, I've made up my mind about the HQ choice for the first 1k points, and decided to not go for Androcles because I can't quite make sense of a Captain at this point level. So it'll be a Chaplain for starters, leading an Assault Squad for sure. First thought was that he'd be one of the three or four models I'd have to buy for starters... but then I had a moment of girlfriend-induced enlightment.

her, looking over my shoulder why I browse online stores: "So... it's one of those Space Marine folks, with lots of ornamental detail, a skull head, an eagle club, a skull shoulderpad, and a jump pack."

me, not really listening: "Yeah. Why?"

her: *looks over to the tower of boxes full of plastic Space Marine, Chaos Space Marine, Fantasy and other bits*

me: "Oh."

So, this is what I came up with. If he looks a little bit back-heavy to you, don't worry, he's supposed to stand on a collapsed wall, so it'll be balanced out.



On a different note, a cheaply improvised Multi Melta Marine for one of those squads:



So, costs for the army so far (including models, materials, paint): still at zero. Browsing for cheap Rhinos right now.

I really like those. I love the adventurous conversions people do on here, its a hobby in its self.

i like it the mix of blue and grey gives it a striking image well done

Agreed. Good job, Ithmaril. Nice conversions.

Im curios, what did u use for the head?
Im trying to convert a chaplain to, but i have no idea for the skull helmet.

[Ithmaril]

Thanks a lot for the positive reception, people.

Bung: It's a variant head from the WHFB Chaos Warriors sprue. I also toyed around with the thought of using the variant skull Khorne Berzerker head with the bunny ears off, but it was to recognizable for my taste.

The chappie looks great. My question is where did you get the double headed eagle for his crozius?

[Ithmaril]

My best guess is that it came with a plastic command squad box (standard, apothecary, captain, champion...) , 4th edition- but I'm not so sure anymore, because it's all from one of my unassorted bits boxes now. It definitly was a single piece of accessory detail though, to glue onto the back pack I guess. Hope that helps.

Thx im not so well with the fantasy stuff, im a strictly 40k player

This double Eagle comes in the plastic command squad Box, its one of the tops for the standard or for the Backpack.

I think i will get some fantasy chaoswarriors for conversions.
