Hey there! After reviewing my posts and the comments within combined with some deep thought and shared thoughts with the other Tech Priests, I've decided to make another post in this series before progress shots start coming out. This post will be a review of previous articles in this series and the corrections/changes I've made to the plan that's in place so far. So let's get to it!
First up is the very first post in the series where I go over my list. Since that posting I've been debating just keeping this a 1000pt list and not expanding since there are so.. many.. other.. things.. I want to make. So, assuming this is the direction I'm going, my list would be changed to something like this to get the troops in there that I need:
1x Chaos Lord, P.Fist, P.Sword, MoS
10x Chaos Cultists
5x Noise Marines, CCWs, Doom Siren, melta bomb, Rhino
5x Noise Marines, CCWs, Doom Siren, melta bomb, Rhino
5x Chosen, 2x meltagun, 2x plasmagun, 1x combi-plasma, melta bomb, Rhino
5x Chaos Spawn, MoS
5x Havocs, 2x meltagun, 2x plasmagun, 1x combi-plasma, melta bomb, Rhino
Total = 1000pts
Basically I'm replacing one unit of Spawn with another Troop (Noise Marines), taking away the Blastmaster(s) since I have more of a push-forward Rhino-wall and every Character gets melta bombs (except the Lord since he has a Power Fist). I haven't decided if this is the direction I'm going as I really like two units of Spawn, but I'm thinking about it.
Next up is the second article in this series where I talk about the different parts and pieces I'll be using for my CSM Lord. First and foremost, I didn't really link a body I'd be using as I didn't really have one in mind at the time. At this point I'll either be using spare bits or, depending on how my budget looks this guy (the one on the left) with some green stuff:
Secondly, his weapon was still up in the air, but I think I found a solution. I still want either a scythe or sword (preferably a scythe). The other day I was paroozing my RSS feeds and found this from The Forge:
Which has given me some inspiration to make my own scythe. And, if all else fails and it turns out horrible while I'm in the corner, a broken man, I'll just purchase one of the flame swords from the Empire Battle Wizards kits and run a conversion much like my buddy at TVT has done here:
Next is my fourth post in the series covering the units of Spawn. First I'd like to thank follower Tylermenz who brought something very obvious to light for me. I was so excited to get so many different models going for the Spawn units that I hadn't considered that they might not fit well together; a blind spot if you will. On top of that, Tylermenz suggested (and fellow author/good friend The Eye Of Error reminded me earlier this week) this amazing conversion from Dave Taylor's blog. I love this conversion so much I'll be doing my own version of it for my Spawn:
The next change is a minor one, but important. In the fifth and sixth posts of this series I showed the meltaguns I'd be using for the Chosen and Havocs. I'll make short mention that Spell Crow just came out with these little gems, so I'm making the switch as for some reason this style appeals more to me (probably because they have more of an assault-style to them):
The last change I want to mention today comes from follower cpyke in my sixth post for this series who brought up the Kakophoni Noise Marines (thanks to Apocalypse 40k for the pic). Being a follower of Apocalypse 40k, I did technically know about this leak from Forge World, but being an avid forgetter of...pretty much everything, I did forget about it and also hadn't come up with some of the ideas I have now on the first viewing:

And for those wondering, if I do go through route of two units of Noise Marines, I'm thinking one would be using these bodies as an older-style Noise Marine and the other would use the items I posted in this article keeping the "timeline theme" going.
I think that's about it for now. Once again thanks to our followers for their suggestions throughout this series, it's very much appreciated.
