Here's a piece of information that will interest no one at all. This is the second-longest streak of models for a single force in the Combat Patrol magazine series so far!
Told you.
Anyway, some more chaos stuff.
This is, apparently, a Helbrute. Why is there only one L in the name? I don't know.
It's basically a chaos dreadnought, and indeed for my 5th edition purposes, that's what it'll be used as. The difference seems to be entirely in the background and is to do with the corrupting power of the warp fusing the flesh of the interred marine with the machine body of the dreadnought. All of which is fine, but it also seems to suggest that because the pilots go insane, the sarcophagus is dragged away from the body when it's not in combat. So... the marine is dragged away from his own flesh, I guess.
Whatever. I thought the fleshy bits looked a bit weird, so I went with grey to downplay them a bit.
I'd also had to decide on how to arm the thing. Pondering the various options and tactical flexibility I could achieve, I went for multimelta and power fist... exactly the same as with my Imperial dreadnought.
I assume that first time I use this, it'll go insane and wipe out half of my own force, and then get destroyed.
I also have these...
Havocs! Here I was mostly influenced by the chaos autocannon models looking cool, and then figured a lascannon and a missile launcher might be a good idea.
Also the aspiring champion is pretty close-combat-focused, which is weird for a heavy weapons squad, but who knows what might happen.
Anyway, it's all progress. Let's not worry about how far behind the deliveries I am now, partly because I've lost track myself.
