Here’s the first model of a batch of Chaos Space Marines I was called to do on a hurry for a big apocalypse event.
This model is slightly converted (weapon swap). Still, it was only the first time I painted the Hellbrute model from the new 40k starter box and I have to echo many of the voices who say that the ‘Eavy Metal paintjob didn’t do the model many favours.
I ended up really liking this model. You get to do lots of armour, some slightly organic looking armour plates, a lot of skin and flesh and so on. Very varied model with lots of interesting surfaces.
So, I hope you like what I made of the model and stay tuned for bigger and nastier Khorne war machines soon!

Thanks a lot, we appreciate any help to continue and grow Tale of Painters 🙂
The weapon swap really makes the gun look a million times better – great job.

Hey, it's CMDante! Hullo, thanks for dropping by and commenting! Didn't do the conversion myself, I'm just the painting monkey, but I certainly will pass on the praise.
Personally, I like the weapon swap as well. I think that it makes the model look more balanced in the way of armour-flesh-ratio.
Looks great, looking forward to more Khorne war machines…
Damn fine conversion there. Nothing screams Khorne like the overkill of a huge plasma cannon 😉
Thanks, guys! Oh yes, especially a plasmacannon with a maw and huge teeth in the front. 😀
I like the plasma cannon conversion. I'd probably trim it down a touch, it looks a bit too long and unbalanced. In fact I might make my own version for my black legion 🙂
Thanks for the inspiration.
The conversion looks great, but I would have used the Forgefiends ectoplasma cannon head instead of one of the arms since it's fairly shorter and results in the arm size remaining about the same as before.
