Modelling chaos stars

[Dr_Ruminahui]

I've posted this in tutorials and my own project thread on the chaos space marine board, but then I thought it might be the most useful here.

 

Here's a simple tutorial for making chaos 8-pointed stars out of plasticard.  The same technique would likely work for cardbaord if you wanted stars on a curved surface (like a space marine shoulder pad).

 

 

1.   Make squares from thin plasticard.  Mine were 5mm, though after gluing them to the models (see below) I wish I had made them a little smaller, though at 5mm they were fiddly enough already.  

 

2.  Cut triangles out of each side.

 

 

3.  You should now have 2 pointy little crosses:

 

 

4.  Glue the crosses together.

 

 

And here they are in use on some models - genestealer cultists are that are now chaos cultists:

I like the slightly different take on the SOC, keep posting!!

Thanks!  I don't have any other conversions relevant to this board to post at this time, but if you want to check out my other chaos related conversions and minis, check out my army thread here: http://www.bolterandchainsword.com/topic/346143-the-judgment-on-kadeth-dr-ruminahuis-emperors-children/

Just remember, Doctor R, if you wanna show off some specific cool conversions of yours (renegades and heretics ofc) we have a pinned thread at the top. :)

For those who are interested, I have now painted up 4 of these minis.
