I managed to pick up some really cheap CSM reinforcements from eBay, including a set of the old metal Havoc parts consisting of an Autocannon, heavy Bolter, Lascannon and missile launcher. Now the aim is to have two havoc squads, each six strong (slaaneshe's holy number) one kitted out for anti tank with triple Lascannon and a missile launcher, and this one built for anti personnel.
An aspiring champion with a plasma pistol, a plasma gun, two heavy bolters and an Autocannon mean they should be reasonably effective against light to medium infantry with the plasma weapons enabling them to have a fighting chance against heavier stuff and light vehicles.
the aspiring champion was built from my old multimelta havoc, which was a particularly crude conversion, even by my standards, not to mention a illegal weapon choice. Instead he recieved an ornate plasma pistol from the SM commander sprue and a loyalist chainsword. The regular Bolter havoc remains pretty much unchanged, apart from a bit of extra detail and paint touch ups. The back banner is there so I can chose to run the squad with or without an icon bearer.
Plasma and Autocannon Havocs, whilst the Autocannon havoc was built stock, the plasma havoc had some minor conversion work, I had had the old plasma gun / cannon knocking around in my bits box for years waiting for a suitable recipient, I've no idea what's it's from (it's lead) but I'm quite pleased with the end result. Some very crude green stuffed tentacles and a skull helmet make him look quite menacing IMHO.
Lastly are the two heavy Bolter Havocs, one is just a standard heavy Bolter mini, whilst the second (seen in earlier post) has some necromunda orlock bit thrown into the mix.
Throughout the squad I've tried to mix in some regular space marine parts, arms backpacks etc to try and add a variety and make the chaos dudes look less uniform in appearance.
The second squad is now half finished, so more updates soon....
