Lately I've been thinking about making a Tzeench themed Chaos Marine force. I'm thinking about a raiding force of a Sorcerer with sone Thousand Sons and some regular CSMs as apprentices and lackeys.

To make them look more apprentice like I thought of using the robed Dark Angel bodies with CSM arms, heads, and weapons. But when I went on the GW site the Dark Angel sprue for $20 only has three of the robed bodies. As I need around 24 of them this is a bit unfeasable.

The Dark Angel Veteran box has five of them in it and they all seem to be of the robed variety, but the description is a bit lacking. Is it five of the plastic robed bodies which will be easy to convert to my evil purposes or metal and plastic ones that will be a bit tougher? Is anyone familiar with this box set or have a better idea how to do what I'm thinking of doing?

You seem to think I have patience and skill, both of which I'm lacking. Smile

My last attempt at sculpting something will make a good chaos spawn someday.

you'd be surprised. pick up some dentist tools at lee valley and green stuff. look at an already robed figure and try to copy it. I started out sculpting with robes.
