Warhammer 40K: Chaos Daemons Tzeentch Pink Horror Conversions

Presenting my Warhammer 40K Chaos Daemons Tzeentch Pink Horror Conversions.

Modeling the Tzeentch pink horrors was the best part of making this army. Every model is unique.

With the plenty of Chaos spawn and space marine parts at my disposal, along with plenty of green stuff, I let my imagination run wild. Wherever possible, I tried to emphasize how this weird, chaotic flesh was bursting out of the space marines. The best part is, no matter how crazy the conversion, it felt right at home in a Chaos Daemons army. I had a lot a fun making these guys.

Warhammer 40K: Chaos Daemons Tzeentch Herald Conversions

Presenting my Warhammer 40K Chaos Daemons Tzeentch Herald Conversions.

With the chaotic nature of a Chaos Daemons army, it’s hard to go wrong with something absolutely crazy. My Tzeentch heralds are no exception to this. Two of the heralds are basically a lot of spare bits stuck into a central glob of green stuff. Really, nothing too special there in terms of modeling. However, Smiley is a different story.

In order to make Smiley, I started with a rough frame built from pieces of sprue. I then began layering green stuff on top of that until I had the outline of a very chaotic face. Since this is a Tzeentch herald, I decided to add plenty of guns to the model to represent the model’s arcane firepower. It’s teeth are bolters, and its eyes are lascannon barrels. The weapons on the sides came from a dreadnought.
If nothing else, he/she/it certainly gets a lot of comments from my fellow gamers.

Warhammer 40K: Chaos Daemons Army

Presenting my Warhammer 40K “count as” Chaos Daemons Tzeentch army, with 95% conversions.

My Chaos Daemons army is easily the craziest modeling project I’ve ever embarked upon. All but one model in the entire army have some sort of conversion work, and many involved extensive conversions. The theme behind the army is a space marine force gone horribly wrong. It’s what happens to space marines when they pass their expiration dates. I wanted the chaotic elements to look like they were exploding out of space marine armor, which involved a lot of Chaos spawn kits, as well as a friend’s Dark Angels army.
Yes, that’s right. I purchased a friend’s Dark Angels army for the sole purpose of mutilating them beyond recognition. After dunking them in Pine-Sol, I began plucking off limbs and cutting them up with a hobby saw. Mix in copious amounts of green stuff, and you can clearly see the results.

chaos daemon count as khorne bloodletters 2 — We are well armed!

I purchased 3 daemon princes for this army. The wings went to my Tyranids so that I could have flying hive tyrants. That left me with a lot of spare daemon arms with really cool weapons. But what to do with them? I decided to use them as Khorne bloodletters. The imagery of these giant arms growing out of space marine halves is pretty ridiculous, so it suits me just fine.

chaos daemon count as nurgle plaguebearers — Count as Nurgle Plaguebearers

The Nurgle plaguebearers were the simpliest conversions. I used mostly-whole space marines with some green slimy tendrils coming out and green fluid leaking out of the armor. And there they were. A pack of plaguebearers. Nothing to it.

chaos daemon count as tzeentch flamers — Count as Tzeentch Flamers

With all the Chaos spawn kits I went through, I had a lot of spawn torsos I wasn’t using. I put the torsos on top of inverted Space Marine jump packs and build them into my Tzeentch flamers. Ridiculous, I know, but that’s just how I roll with this army.

chaos daemon count as tzeentch screamers — Count as Tzeentch Screamers

My Tzeentch screamers were made with the stock Tzeentch pink horror kits, minus the arms and legs. The only tricky parts here were drilling the holes for the flying bases and filing down a few knobs on the models where the legs are supposed to attach.
But, my favorite parts of the army are the Tzeentch Heralds and the Tzeentch Pink Horrors. I had a lot of fun coming up with some really crazy conversions.
