I've been on a mission to recreate minis inspired by some of the pieces by John Blanche that as a kid I always wished were minis available off the shelf. Now i have the tools and improved technical skills I'm trying to do what I wanted to do as a 10yr old boy with limited tools and material understanding but with dreams and a love of the weird stuff Blanche was making back in the day.

I'll post a few of my minis - most of which have been made using exclusively 1980's and 1990's parts, or in some cases due to value of donor minis I;ve resorted to taking casts using blue stuff and pressing with milliput to keep the originals pure and undamaged.

1. A bunch of Chaos Renegade Terminators:-

These are really cool, such a creepy vibe and very Blanche in style.

Keep going

Great models, both in erms of conversion and painting; in fact thy look like some old Glamrock band from the 80s, which is very appropriate.

That may be the nicest batch of chaos terminators I've ever seen. I love the subtlety and humanity in all of them. Very nice indeed!

I think you've really caught the "early JB spirit"
Lovely weird helmet.

These are so great, especially taken as a group. Outstanding.

Great stuff and tribute to JB I always meant to try to convert some marines in the style of the JB ones in the modelling guide.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Anyone thinking of doing it should do - doing the oldschool Blanchitsu is so much fun!

Here are some modern cultists, but with the boring heads removed and replaced with some rogue trader era heads...

Oh, without the head and with this painting, it's hard to recognize modern cultists. Good job.

Brilliant stuff all the way, very inspired!
Keep up the good work.

Have you considered classic noise marines? Or a rhino with drummer on top? ...Yeah its a challenge!

Here's a bunch of Rogue Trader Traitor Terminators I painted up using contrast paints for use on expanded first edition Space Hulk - imperial vs chaos and chaos vs GS missions / campaigns.
I only just took a group shot since putting them on some fresh goblin green bases.
