Bare Armed marines

[Taikisama]

Im in the process of starting a khorne army, the voices have been getting too loud and i just cant resist the blood gods call especially with the awesome sculpts from forge world.

Im going to make myself a representation of Kharn in all his glory, as i really dislike the model GW have out for him atm but i was wondering what arms to use for the unarmoured one. was also contemplating sticking him with a squad of bezerkers and hoping he dosnt hack too many of them down in the blood gods name, so was thinking about giving them atleast one bare arm each too.

any help will be great, im looking for an arm that should be a straight swap as my sculpting skills are pretty much non-existant. also wondering what guage chain to use for the wrapping on his arm.

cheers for any help you can give me,
Dan

maybe catachan arms would be compatable as for chain i dunno

i'd try out ork arms. overly muscled.

Chaos marauder arms are a good alternative. They come with a suitable array of axes and stuff. Plus in the marauder box you get tons of useful bits to make your marines look like tribal nutters.Use the finest guage chain for body adornement. It looks small in you hands but huge on your 28mm figs. http://www.scalelink.co.uk/acatalog/Sundries__Lead_foil__Chain__Adhesives.html Fine or very fine would be the best (on this site)

Thanks for all the help people, i was thinking catchan arms too but was unsure if they'd look abit too thin or not... now ork arms that could be a winner... i've got some marurder and ork arms lying about so i'll give it a test tif and see

laters,

Been thinking about an army of khorne and was considering having a possessed dreadnought of khorne and thought it would be pretty cool if one of the demons arms had twisted and changed one of the dreads arms into a bit of an oversized organic looking arm either with a kind of taloned hand or wielding a big axe... been trying to think how to make the head a bit more demon looking as well. am hoping to get the FW World Eaters dread soon so would appreciate any pointers, again Im pretty useless at sculpting but I suppose now is as good of a time as ever;

cheers for all the help so far, as soon as i get some mini's on the table to tweak and paint i'll post a WIP,

actually, thinking about it, i think i have used ork arms in the past. they seem a little long but the massive musculature looks good. have heard about beastman arms working too but not sure if that was with space marines
