They can be quite easily made using Citadel's wide range of plastic models, a few additional bits and pieces and a little imagination. Here is a guide to how we made ours.

We used a mixture of parts, mainly leftover bits from the Orc, Chaos Warrior, Mutation and Marauder plastic kits. These were assembled from the feet up into basic human forms, using the Orc legs, torsos and arms as the basis, and ensuring that they all had spikes or claws for hands. They were then finished off with lengths of chain bundled behind them.

HEADS

The bare heads are a couple of the less decayed examples from the Zombie sprue. The helmeted heads are spares from the Chaos Warriors sprue. The third example has had its horns removed.

CLAWS

The hands were cut from the muscular Orc arms and clawed weapons fitted the stumps. The arms that were used usually featured metal greaves or bandages, so the clawed weapons blended in naturally.

The claws are cut from the banner top from the Chaos Marauder sprue. A little plastic rod was cut to size and glued in place to represent bolts holding the claws in place.

This warrior's weapons are from the other Chaos Marauder banner top.

The horns from spare Chaos Warriors heads replaced the hands on this Flayerkin model.

The horns were from the banner pole on the Warhammer Orc Command sprue. They are positioned so they curved inwards.

Inspired by the fighting claws on the Skaven Nightrunners sprue, these claws are cut from the spiked prodder on the Orc Chariot driver.

CHAINS

A small hole was cut in each models back into which a length of chain was secured. The chain was cut to length and a spiked ball, cut from a flail off the Chaos Marauder sprue, was glued in place. The chain was then bunched together and soaked in superglue to keep it in place.

MORE IDEAS FOR COMPONENTS

The great thing about these models is that they look deadly and muscular but are all made from nothing more than leftover parts. They are so simple to assemble that, with a little imagination, you can easily come up with plenty of unusual combinations of your own.

To help get your creative juices flowing, here's a list of metal parts and plastic sprues with parts on them that you can potentially use…

Dark Eldar: plenty of spikes/blades
Tyranids: Gaunts and a variety of pointed metal components
Chaos Accessory Sprue: spikes, hooks, chain and skulls
Beastmen Chariot: Tuskgor horns
Chaos Marauders: banner tops, flails, horns and weaponry
Dark Elves: plenty of cruel-looking blades
Chaos Warriors: horns, blades and spikes
Plastic Orc Chariot: arms, bodies, legs and spiked prodder
Zombies: heads, weapons and body parts
