Kitbashing Chaos Warbands of the Abyssal Crusade | Warhammer 40k Obscure Lore

Ойын-сауық

Once proud warriors of the Imperium, these Astartes were ravaged by a warp storm of unprecedented magnitude. Now with their bodies corrupted, chapters of The Judged are sent on a penitent crusade in the Eye of Terror to regain The Emperor's favor. However, none could see the hand of the Ruinous Powers manipulating the pieces on the board behind closed doors...
Enjoy the latest showcase for victims of Warhammer 40k's most ill-fated crusades! These minis are meant as a starting point for other conversions in the army. They can either be downscaled into regular troops or upgraded into HQ units, allowing you to make your own warband!

    I LOVED the grey death mini. The colors made me think about what a frozen corpse may look like. With making non, deathguard nurgle marines, it can be hard to think of color schemes that fit other than straight green. The idea of basing them on different types of decay is awesome. Great vid, subbed.

    All five of these guys came out really well. Just superb work. The Abyssal Crusade sounds rad as heck. I wish GW gave more love to these variant CSM warbands. For those looking for more parts for these kinds of conversions, Spellcrow has a bunch of them. Both for regular Space Marines and Chaos ones. They've got fur-covered wolf parts that would look great on Magma Hounds, robes for the Death Shadows, etc.

    Came here from the Mythos Angelica Mortis video - I actually paused it when you brought this video up because I have such a fondness for lesser-known Chaos Warbands. Painted my first Chaos Space Marines in a variety of Warband colors, even. It was less about "Oh, which Warband do I like the lore of the most?" I just went through the wikia's "Pictorial Lists of Traitor Legions & Renegade Space Marine Warbands" pages and went with what caught my eye. ...And then I learned about some Khorne Daemonkin Warbands and got attached to them. So it goes. I did try painting up one of them as an Invocator but I'd ended up frustrated trying to get the blends right and just went for a Sons of Vengeance scheme instead. Anyways! Great video.

    Cool kitbash ideas for each warband: Magma hounds: maybe the leader of their warband has either a dog head, or has 3 separate heads extending from his neck Oracles of change: I think it was nailed by adding thousand sons bits, maybe add some other tzeentchian deamon bits for their special troops like a guy riding on top of a screamer of tzeentch or something Death shadows: they seem pretty sneaky, I would suggest some raven guard bits actually, that or maybe some grim reaper aesthetics what with those robes Invocators: maybe some word bearer or thousand sons sorcery bits, I also personally really like the idea of making them more deamon-y The grey death: I’m thinking an iron warrior aesthetic but nurgle-fied what with the 100 years siege and all, maybe bring the fungus theme back with some more nature-y bits

    Of course mate, I love doing these little dives into obscure factions. Funnily enough the Brotherhood of Darkness was slated for my other obscure Chaos Warbands video but they were bumped out by another warband. I don't quite remember the reason though, think it was for color variety maybe? They're still on the radar though so I wont forget em 😁 Also if you're looking for more obscure factions, I'd comb through the oldest codices you can find or just fall down the 40k wikipedia rabbit holes. With both the fandom wiki and Lexicanum there's a lot to sift through

    I love the Invocators’ odd gradient, personally. It matches so many descriptions of Slaaneshi marines painting their own armor however they find pleasing, instead of just pink and black. If you stuck to the color palette, each marine looking different because you bulk painted them would fit the lore.

    The Grey Death are my favorite just to due to how much better they are than the current Nurgle Marines, really got the crusty fungus infected nurgle aestetic that was in the first WD I read right. My favorite sculpts of Death Guard/Nurgle Marines are probably the early 00s ones, shame I have only seen one box of them for sale for an acceptable price.

A few years ago when I was setting the standard I opted for audio on the quieter end since everyone's audio setups are so vastly different. The logic was that I'd rather have to turn up a video rather than have my ears explode two seconds in, but given your feedback I may have to try elevating the audio for a video or two and finding a good balance for everyone.

    I really liked your Invocator kitbash, so a fun idea for melee weapons for them would be to take the handle of a chainsword and the claw of a deamonet or Tyronid and a little greenstuff and have a weird fleshy sword like object for them to wield... bonus points if you have a greenstuff cable coming out of their flesh to connect to the weapon.

    @@TheLichsLaboratory If I did that it would be with the chainsword blade, similarly to chainsaw man, would work very well for a Slaanesh chaos marine, go with one of the world eater double bladed chainsword blades and then cut off an open hand cut it in half and then putty the blade in between the two haves and the whole thing onto the wrist stump, maybe greenstuff on a larger codpiece along with your crop top and some kind of a messed up head.

    I really do like your videos a lot. I think more people should do deep dives in on weird obscure factions and how to paint them. I do intend to one day have a small army/kill team thats based on either one of your videos or something youd focus on, but havent found the right one just yet. your videos are inspiring, keep up the good work

    Hi! Just wanted to say thank you: I just finished building my my first gunpla (it's an Aerial Rebuild) while watching (well, rather listening to) your videos on kitbashing space marines. I certainly haven't learned a lot of lore or techniques (I'm also not really into tabletop gaming), but it was a very nice, even kind of meditative experience! You style of narration is very relaxing.

    The Grey Death mini is actually pretty lore accurate to the Death Guard, like there's passages and descriptions of them being CAKED in putrid rotting filth and then the actual minis are all very clean and covered in bloated meat/tentacles/horns but nothing that would even vaguely describe 'literally bathed in lakes of congealing waste and rot slop'.

Gonna do either The Tainted or The Purge next. I have not painted a single miniature for the last ten years before picking up those Chaos Marines. I'm still a terribly slow painter but the results look pretty neat.

The Astral Serpents; live on a jungle planet with a red dwarf sun causing plant life to be blue. They have a flaw which will sometimes give them serpentine eyes or tongues, and occasionally patches of scales. Their color scheme is a green-teal with bright red highlights in the pauldrons and the hands. Their planet has a extremely large population if snakes, big shocker, and one of their initiation rituals is for aspirants to enter a pit containing the most venomous serpent on their planet and survive being bitten by it.
