Hello everyone,
For this 10th Edition, we’re stepping into the realm of legends with the Chaos Lord in Terminator Armour, a model that has disappeared from the codex but remains perfectly playable in 10th Edition outside of the competitive scene. As no official miniature was ever released, we decided to create a conversion in order to include this character in our army.
The Chaos Terminator Lord from the old Chaos range was already clearly showing its age, and we didn’t want to invest in a model that no longer matched our tastes or the current level of detail of the army.
The conversion was built using bits from Chaos Terminators, Blightlord Terminators, and the Forge World conversion kit. The assembly turned out to be rather amusing, as the Forge World kit was slightly smaller than the more recent Death Guard resculpts. The result is there, although it’s true that the model looks a bit small compared to the rest of the army.
We mitigated this effect by adding a nice, chunky Nurgling boss to the base, which helps rebalance the overall look and makes the Lord himself appear less stubby. In the end, the model still finds its place on the tabletop and retains a certain charm, a reminder of a time when conversions were an integral part of the hobby.
Unfortunately, his flamer is no longer really useful, as combi-weapons have since been merged into a single profile. It now remains mostly a visual element, a relic of older weapon options.
We did not pursue the idea of building a full squad using the Forge World kit, as the size differences were simply too jarring when compared to the Blightlord Terminators. The visual mismatch was too significant to create a coherent unit on the tabletop, which ultimately convinced us to limit the project to this single character.
