Hi everyone! In my hobby "career" I've had two main loves, painting 40k models and building Gundam kits. I thought it would be super cool to combine the two and repaint Gundam kits based on 40k legions. I decided to start out with traitor legions because I think they allow more flexibility in painting style, and decided on the Iron Blooded Orphans anime because that's the only anime I've seen. So, in this blog, I plan on posting regular updates on my work building and painting IBO Gundam kits to reflect Chaos marines. Please let me know what you think of the idea, and I plan on sharing kits I plan on using for certain legions. If you have an idea, let me know! This is purely for fun and I'd love to get suggestions and feedback.

So, heres the first model I'm working on. I'm repainting a Graze kit as an Alpha Legion soldier. I went for a pearl blue/green and a dull orange metallic frame and it worked out as well as I'd hoped. This is a WiP, and I'm not set on whether i want to make the models look clean or battle damaged, so give me your opinions!
