Blog Entries: 4 |  Chosen Yeah, I'm trying to convert a space marine command squad into a retinue of five chosen. The pictures below are examples. They're not glued together just yet but some pieces were undercoated and/or painted before I had a use for them. I have two side views of each but I'm not sure how you can see...         I'm also aware that the weapon choices don't reflect what they can use in game, but model-wise I'm just trying to see if I'm on to something or just wasting my time.

   | They're really good. I like all of the positions. I supose the 4th one down could e changed slightly. Maybe move his sword arm so its pointing down. Makes him look like he is simply holding it while he takes a shot with the melta. it will be nice to see them painted.

Blog Entries: 4 | Yeah, I see what you mean. I was also thinking of letting the standard act as an icon of chaos undivided... I reckon I'll leave them on for now, though if i ever get some green stuff i mightcover some with spikes...

| In all honesty... THe idea is great, but i'm not sure how I feel about the models over all. I can't enlarge them, and with my monitor res, they are a bit pinched. Do you have linkes to where I could see them better? I have the feeling I am missing out on some nice conversions. |

Blog Entries: 4 | I was considering that, but I used both Icons on my Rhino, and I'm trying to save what's left on the sprue for converting a space marine dreadnought... Besides, I've already used the standard so I may as well let it stand for something... I can't do much with the pictures, but I suppose I could take larger pics for more detail...         It doesn't help that I use darker colours... I feel like I should name them...

| Some nice work there! The guy holding the banner looks sufficiently evil, and that crouched guy with what looks like a plasma pistol (the pics are a bit small) looks great. As Erus said, it would be great if you could enlarge them for us, so we could grab a better look at them!
