Chaos (She) Space Marines! [After, Part 1]

Since I have some of them painted, here they are for your enjoyment. :D 4/6 are painted, with the Icon Bearer and Aspiring Champion still pending. (My boyfriend was supposed to paint the Icon Bearer at my request because he modeled her at my request.) Sadly, that will not be possible.

She doesn't have a nickname, nor has she been given a regular name. And her chestplate is flat because otherwise it would get in the way of the gun.


Sorry the back image is a little fuzzy.


This Front image is a little fuzzy, but it's "Mohawk"!


The back image is a little better, maybe.


They're pretty, aren't they? The colors used are Liche Purple, Scorpion Green, Dark Angels Green, and Tin Bitz for the metal stuff.

Chaos (She) Space Marines! [Before]

I only have green-stuff work on 4/6 of my first squad, as the other two have their chests blocked by large armaments. So I only have pictures of 4/6 of the squad prior to paint.

Here they are:

Nicknamed "Mohawk" for the time being, for obvious reasons:


Nicknamed "Samurai" for not as obvious reasons:


Icon Bearer:


Last, but not least, the Aspiring Champion:


The tiny ring on the Aspiring Champion's left breast was ridiculously difficult to make out of green stuff. However, on that chest plate there had been a ring in exactly the same place and I wanted to preserve that detail.

The Beginning

Since I first pondered getting into Warhammer 40,000 I wanted to make She Marines. And it seemed to me that the only way to do that without being asked to explain by every single person who saw them was to make them Chaos Marines.

I practiced my painting (and tested out paint schemes) on a box of Sisters, (I had originally intended to practice on a full army of Dark Eldar but with a pending [update?] I was out of luck.)





(Obviously the center one was not a successful combination if I want them to be Chaos Space Marines.)

After the experiments, I threw myself headfirst into my she-marines.
