Shadow War - Armageddon: The Fallen - Chaos Marines

This Kill Team was mainly built from the contents of a 2005 Chaos Space Marine box set.

 As you can see, the box was bought very cheap.

The Kill Team - The Fallen comprises one Aspiring Champion (with bolt pistol and assault blade) and four marines with bolt guns.

I still need to check the numbers and who can get grenades.

The ten Beastmen are now assembled, though they need green stuff and possibly adding some more pouches and combat blades.

Shadow War - Archeology part one

One of the joys of Shadow War - Armageddon is the ability to use all those odd boxes of figures that you bought but never got round to doing anything with.

So I had a look through the boxes in various locations (and reunited the Tau Pathfinder instructions with the kit) and found these.

Though not actually a Kill Team choice in SWA, the renamed Stormtroopers have various uses for Imperial Guard or Inquisitor kill teams.

I knew I had a box of Pathfinders somewhere, and a couple of weeks ago I did find the instructions, and now they are reunited with the kit.

I bought a number of boxes of the 2005 Chaos Marines cheap at Salute one year (what year I do not know). It is the original multi-part figures (two lots of four Chaos Wombles with a Chaos mutation sprue and a Chaos Marine sprue with a Heavy Bolter and Officer bits). They were originally bought to supply bits for Forge World Chaos Marine conversion packs.

Dark Space Pixies (or in this case Maniac Nightmare Pixie Girls - and boys).

 And finally a box of Skitarii (I have an Enginseer as well).

Started with the Chaos Wombles. The plan is a stripped down squad of five, very basic weapons.

So, first the Beastman Leader has had a head transplant. I replaced the previous head with one of the larger heads.

You can see the plastic rods I have fixed to the line of the figures spine before I apply some greenstuff.

The next two are basic Beastman troopers.

I need to clean up the inside of one of the horns.

Another two members of the team.

The unit so far.

Shadow War - Armageddon Beastman Kill team

More years ago than I can remember, Games Workshop had an opening sale at their new shop in Bristol. At that time they would have offers such as three for the price of two. At the Bristol opening, I bought two boxes of plastic Catachan Imperial Guard and a box of three Sentinel walkers.

Over the years I have whittled the forty Imperial Guard down to ten unassembled miniatures. I was not deeply impressed with the over muscled nature of the sculpts (they are bigger than wombles).

I also bought at some time a Warhammer Chaos Beastman Regiment.

At some point on the Lead Adventures Forum someone asked if anyone had a use for the Catachan plastics.

So I dug out the Catachan and Beastman sprues to build a Beastman Kill Team.

This is the Beastman leader. The Catachan legs and arms are as supplied. The neck hole was widened and part of the collar removed to allow the Beastman head to fit.

I will be adding some greenstuff to add some hair to the torso and arms.
