Bunch of stuff about to get primed. Workin on some 30k models, also going to use the skitarii as count as cultists. The dude missing the hand is my moritat, kept the other hand magnetized so I'd have some options. The dude with the fist will likely be a warsmith. The techpriest is, well, a techpriest. Always good to have another. The guy with the sword and shield will likely be used as either a praetor or librarian. The guard model is my count as commissar yarrick. I'll be posting more pics as I get them done.
Got some stuff painted tonight. Finished up my second count as spawn, they're basically tyranid combat servitors. Also finished up my deimos vindicator laser destroyers, basically magnetized mega lascannons. It's a bit of a lazy conversion but I like the ability to use them as either.
Painted up a bunker. I added a lot of extra bits, especially around the rubble. The massive quantity of skulls was distractingly high. I added a command console and like a giant marine battery/mini reactor thing plugged into it. Also added a comms relay.
I wanted to make an interesting plasma destroyer predator turret. It deviates from the usual pred turret vibe, I wanted it to look experimental. Like a proof of concept before integration into a more armored housing.
More shtuff. Made 5 more volkite dudes for 30k. Also made another tech priest. I needed one more bare bones sgt, happy with how he turned out. Another pic of my count as perturabo model. Last but certainly not least my new librarian. Wanted one with a bit more of a 30k vibe, Also really wanted to make a count as savrin loth. I'm quite stoked with how he turned out, thoroughly stoked in fact. The best psykers all have sigillite bling.
Fun Fact: The libby can also be a chaplain as their crozius just says "Crozius Arcanum - power weapon (type as shown on model)" under their wargear; the skull pad helps the vibe too
Finally got this guy painted. Happy with how he came out, should be a good count as for perturabo, also works well as a forge lord. Played around with the lighting a lot, nice to have the led's
I just wanted to drop in and say you have some wonderfully characterful conversions here. Everything is just so "40k" with all the mixed marks of armor and bits. The usage of Admech bits is really great, and a solid use of them after building the Rangers.

Wow, these are fantastic. Can't believe it hadn't occurred to me yet to use admech parts with marines. makes for some lovely Iron hands as well I'd imagine.

First up is a count as medusa for 30k. Lutnit built the super structure with plasticard and I ended up buying it off him and converting up the rest. The vibe I was going for is basically a plasma artillery piece with lotsa piping and power packs and shtuff. Pretty stoked with how it turned out, I love that I was able to make use of plastic "lord of the rings" rings for the main gun. I wanted it to be cartoonishly ridiculous, I succeeded .
Next up is a rebase project for my once count as chaos spawn now count as assault centurions. I commissioned an00bis to whip up some nice 50mm's to put them on, he did awesome work. The way I had them on the 40mm, 2 of the 3 were just leaning way too much.
Then we've got my count as deredeo dreadnought. This used to be used as a contemptor but I've augmented it a little bit, added a twin linked heavy bolter and re-based it on the 80mm that the deredeo comes with. Totally stoked I was able to re-purpose it and put a fresh coat of paint on the parts that needed it.
And finally, 6 marines with grav cannons. Not much special there, made 2 of'm techpriests just for some diversity since they're fairly mono pose due to their large size.
So basically it's another count as model for when I run my deathwatch as count as chaos. The combat servitor to end all combat servitors. Gonna run this guy as a maulerfiend/blood slaughterer. Really stoked with how this turned out, I'm actually excited by the prospect of painting this guy.
Here's my count as tormentor, perturabo's personal transport. It's based off the old armorcast shadowsword. Added a armoured section on the back for perturabo to stand on, also added an access hatch at the back as it has a transport capacity of 15. Really happy with how this turned out, can't see using it much but it sure is pretty.
Did some modifications to the deredeo dread. I wanted to be able to run it as a contemptor/leviathan dreadnought. If you haven't seen the experimental forgeworld rules for the leviathan dreadnought it's definitely worth a look.
I never really liked the gw cyclone launcher, so the idea of doing tyrant siege terminators for my count as iron warriors wasn't terribly appealing. Recently while browsing anvil industry's site I saw some missile launcher bits that I really liked. I retrofitted my old termites with the anvil cyclone's. Decided to stick with just one chainfist, makes the unit an even 300 and they'll likely be shooting more than charging.
Really stoked with how they turned out. Maybe one day I'll actually get to play 30k
So I made a count as nathaniel garro. Used kurtha sedd, chopped off the plasma gun and converted the mace into a sword from the legion tac sprue. Head also came from the tac. I tossed a couple etched brass inquisition symbols. His rules are interesting: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/resources/PDF/Datasheets/Nathaniel-Garro-Rules.pdf
There's a lot to like about the fw model but I wasn't really feeling the bolter or chest piece. It's my first marine on a 32
Whipped up an archmagos prime, really stoked with how this guy turned out. I'm nicknaming him cthulu Basically the gun arm is two photon thrusters with an infravisor on top, he's rocking a paragon blade and his servo arm will count as a chainfist.
Made a hellfire plasma cannonade for my deredeo. Also made an atomantic pavaise, crazy shiled generator thingy. Alternatively magged up a big banner.
Hopefully I'll have an update soon with actually painted stuff.

Bunch of wip stuff. Made some iron havocs with autocannons, props to stricken1 for hookin me up with the autocannons . After that we got a new sgt with power fist and megnetized arm. FW apothecary and a cyber skull to help remember augery scanner. Next up is a castellax with darkfire, still waiting on another one of those and a pravaen. Then we've got a conversion I'm very stoked on, wanted to make an evil looking combat servitor and succeeded, he's rockin a nanyte baster and phase walker. He's probably not as armored as he should be but I didn't want to cover up all the flesh so I added a shield servitor to help explain his invul save/armour save. After that we got a terminator sgt with combibolter and power sword. Last but certainly not least my praetor on scimitar jetbike. Made the bike from a crapload of bitz, quite content with the end result. Went for a techpriestish vibe, servo arm counts as a powerfist.

Still got some work to go but it's gettin there. The terminators still need the most work. The contemptor is almost done, still have to clean it up a bit and finalize the details. "The Krang" is also gettin there, still have lot of cleanup work to do and gotta finish the skin. Hoping to finish the army soon so I can get in a batrep with it finally
The Tyranid thing isn't part of the tournament army, it's likely going to be a count as thanatar.
That's what I'm thinkin, only issue is it's a bit big for a bike base so I'll probably have to use the base it came with. At least the precedent has been sorta set by the deathwatch release. I can't see anyone taking too much of an exception due to the size being a pretty big downer in terms of los/cover.

Here's hoping.
So I added a bit to the gun, put a litte screen on the drachon's back similar to marine bikes. Changed his pistol holster to a chaos one and added some kroot pulse rounds to the leg. Should have'm based soon.
So I got a stormraven off of sallieman and converted it into a fire raptor. I had to put glue old metal predator sponsons to the center because it ended up being so back heavy but it balances now. It's not as long as the actual fire raptor but the gun mounts are the same arc. Pretty stoked with how it came out, unfortunately the cockpit plastic is all fogged up, I've soaked it in isopropyl and tried my best to clean up but no good. If anyone's got an extra one, I'll be forever greatful
Also got my lord celestant on dracoth conversion all primed up.
More wip shtuff. Starting off I converted up a model for the nemean reaver. I believe his ccw is supposed to be a sword but I just prefer the look of the two handed axe. The fluff said he had a hood so I gave him one. He's got a pistol holstered and as well as his paragon bolter on his back. I added an inquisition symbol to his left shoulder. If you haven't checked out the rule for the nemean reaver, they're in books 6. Tylos rubio looks really interesting too.
Also built narik dreygur and changed the chainfist arm on my erasmus golg model.
Made a new praetor in cataphractii rockin a powerfist and paragon blade. Also built a unit of cataphractii terminators. 4 chain fists, 1 power fist and I converted up a plasma blaster using some necron bits. I also built all of them without part of the shoulder pads to lower them a bit. I prefer the look.
I loved this model from the moment I set eyes on it. Decided I wanted one as my master of signal. I've modified his telescope slightly adding a servo skull.
Modified the new techpriest model, added a magnet hard point to his backpack that can attach a servo arm or other weapons. Going to use him as a techmarine likely. I love how his pose mirrors the nemean reaver's.
Last but certainly not least. The piece de resistance, my count as thanatar siege automata. It's basically a combat servitor built off a tyranid. Armoured up the thorax and installed robotic limbs. On it's back I've magged up the plasma mortar. An00bis was kind enough to give me that awesome plasma explosion thing you're seeing. I've magnetized it for games so I can remember if I've fired it yet by marking it with the plasma, The twin-linked mauler bolt cannon is made from iradiation engine from the myrmidon destructors. It's very close in height in to the thanatar, just pointing towards the short end of the base. As it's an mc, it doesn't really matter as unlike a vehicle it won't affect fire arcs. I'm pretty stoked on it, now I just have to finish painting it. As well as everything else
So I converted up another navigator. Used the genestealer cult patriarch duder. Workin on scimitar jetbikes at the moment. I've added a combi melta from the old apoc vehicle sprue. Made a second contemptor mortis with twin kheres, wanted it to look a bit different than my other one so I didn't put on the armoured shell on the front, also added a big inquisition symbol from the deathwatch sprue. Next up is a breacher sgt with power axe, mostly deathwatch bits. Also whipped up a dude with one of the new giant ass hammers from dw kill team box. Next up is my new vigilator consul, used the new stalker bolter from dw kit. Built artemis but swapped out the head for one from the dev centurion box. Looks better. Made two new arms for dreadnought, powerfist with plasma blaster and chainfist with plasma blaster. Same point cost as the contemptor mortis but can really bring it in the plasma department. I finally got my catellax with darkfire cannons and narik dreygur painted. Still need to a do a few touch ups and clean some highlights on them but they're about 90% done.
Another update. Picked up a box of the new gw bases. The detail isn't great but they're decent. Built some deathwatch guys with power swords, probably going to run them as veterans. Converted the fw luft huron into terminator praetor. Made 5 more cataphractii terminators, this time 5 volkite chargers and 5 chain fists.
Cataphractii termies with chain fists, workin on another contemptor mortis with twin kheres. Gonna try running the corvus blackstar as a caestus assault ram, I added a magna melta to the front. Some random pics of wip stuff. 5 man recon squad, probably a waste of points but we'll see. 10 breachers with 2 graviton guns. Made an alternate sgt with power axe rocking the new deathwatch shield. Hoping to paint my autocannon dudes pretty soon. Various sgts with combi meltas.
Thanks guy, I definitely gotta get some more paint time in.
Update
Built 30 propsero mk3 marines. Also built some marines with shotguns from the deathwatch box. And a sgt with melta bomb and combi-melta in artificer. Thinkin bout runnin them as volkite chargers.
Still workin away, got the javelins and the scorpius primed now, the pics are a bit old. I added hunter killers to all three jevelins. Got all the prospero tactical marines primed and based, almost done the assault ram. Should have a bigger update with more pics soon,
So I finally put the finishing touches on my 30k tournament army the "sons of the Sigillite" using Iron warriors legion rules.
Lead by a warsmith and a chaplain. Warsmith's got a cool cyber buzzard. Chaplain's an old favorite. Cleaned his paint job up a bit.
The corvus is converted to be used as a caestus assault ram.
The bulk of the army is made up of prospero mk3 tactical marines.
I had to cannibalize a few models to give the javelins multi-meltas.
Managed to get 6 hunter killers that looked reasonable.
Gave my second vindicator a 30k crewman.
Got two mortis-contemptors. I left the chest armour off the second one to make it look a bit different since they're both base off the calth contemptor.

Thankee, I hould have more updates over the holidays
So I've been working on this thing for a couple months. Long story short I wanted to make a larger model for perturabo. One that's closer to the real models actual size. It's based off of ghazzi's body, lotta chopping and gap filling. I wanted it to look like huge terminator armour. The feet are still a bit cartoonishly boxy. The thunderhammer is a mix of the dreadknight's one and the deathatch mega thunderhammer thing. No matter what head I tried to go with, they all looked too small so I went with more of a magos/mechanicus vibe. Tonnes of cables and lenses, the main face is culexus assassin.
Spoiler:
The calth termintor guy I'll likely run as either a praetor or possible count as erasmud golg. I kept the pads off to use for the perturabo conversion. Make it consistent with my other cataphractii termies. I Added some skulls and gear around the waist. I think the bits on the left are anvil industry. The iron halo I think is the top of warding stave.
Basing conversions on ork models is always difficult because of their very recognizable looks, but damn, did you succeed with your Perturabo conversion. This is gorgeous, and you managed to completely remove the Orkish vibe. The foot indeed still shows, but they make me think of the old school obliterators, and as such are perfectly in line with the model.
Keep it up ! Now where is this ghazgul model I think I have lying around.....

Converted up a new librarian from the prospero box ahriman. Gave him a head from the raptors box I believe. Added some inquisition symbols. Also replaced his base with a different one. I also picked up a box of deathwatch terminators, it comes with 3 deathwatch sprues and somehow costs the same as the normal marine one. I'll take that gave 4 of'm combi-meltas, 1 combi-plasma, 3 got chainfists, 1 normal fist, 2 power swords and a converted count as plasma blaster, the bit is from the mechanicus magos model. I armoured up the sgt a bit, also added a servo skull and inquisition symbol. Last but not least is my new command squad. Basically bare bones 3 man all with fists and combat shields. Gave the banner bearer ahrima's backpack/cape. I wanted a knight vibe so I gave both normal guys the cool gladiator heads from the deathwatch sprue. Banner bearer got a modified grey knight helm. I've also got the bearer standing on the body from ahriman's base.
So I've been slowly but surely building out the mechanicum side of things. Just built up a new arch margos prime and some servitors. Really stoked with how he turned out. I wanted him to look very close combat oriented but still have a nice big gun arm and some servo arm lookin thing with a flamer and melta bits attached to work as a machinator array. The gun arm is going to be a photon thruster Used the mechandrites that come wth the myrmidon destructors to fill out the tentacle vibe. The tentacle arm is from the maulerfiend kt. For his head I wanted to add a targeter/infravisor so i cut off one from the head of a necron destroyer. I had to whip up some servo arms for a couple of the servitors. I did magnets hard points so I can swap out for ranged weapon later on.
Painting as always is a slow but I'm make some progress as you can see. Gonna likely use the cyber mastifs as cyber oculari. The dude on the dracoth and the dude on the chair are both gonna count as being on abeyants. I'm also about 60-70% done painting my knight.
Made anpther contemptor, this one's rockin a kheres assault cannon and chainfist with in built plasma blaster. Added some custode bits to make it look a bit more unique. Also tossed on some inquisition symbols from the deathwatch sprue. Added a chaos smoke launcher to round out the top. Also whipped up some sisters of silence, was debating doing the sword but the bolters just look the coolest. Built the rest of my admech dudes, likely gonna use them for 30k. I used 30k plasmaguns for 3 of them in case I run them in 40k. as Converted up little familiar out of the little dude from the chaos terminator lord box. Went for a mix of cthulu meets googly eyes, really stoked with how it came out. There's also a servo skull rising out of his claok.
So haven't posted since april, plenty of stuff in the works. I can safely say the best thing about 8th has been the objective box. So many cool bits
Whipped up a watch master for deathwatch, used the super thunder hammer from the deathwatch box mixed with the custodes spear. Whipped up some frag duders. Also made an "imperial space marine" with a cool combi weapon made out of some admech bits. The objectives steal the show, so much cool. Basically got a vox relay with some scattered munitions around it, escape pod with dude carrying gene seed ( or with a little imagination some cold ones to enjoy with the boys) command cogitator, with operator (used a knight pilot) and ofcourse the alien bug collection. Who knew woold elves would be a great bits source for 40k?
2 more sector imperialis objectives ready for priming. First up is the medicae servitor getting ready to install a bionic hand. Second is the huge bomb they're calling the exterminatus device, managed to work it into an existing objective.
Kit bash with some genestealer cult neophytes and admech heads. Also used some guard shoulder pads on a lot of them. With the extra autogun arms I also kitbashed some more using forgeworld tech thralls. I added some bits to a daemonhost model and mounted him on a 50mm, gonna use him as a count as patrach. Made a count as primus, wanted him took like a rogue trader type, used the power sabre from the baneblade commander. Swapped out the magus's head to make it look more human, also cut off the gs cult symbols on his robes. Kept his staff cuz it looks cool. Gonna use the little familiar from the chaos lord in termi box as the "crouchling", relic familiar that lets the magus take an extra psychic power. Still able to take him and 2 other familiars, one is a cyber mastif, the other is a rat mixed with some cables and a head from the libby dread box, grim dark as it comes. Also in the final stage of putting together a goliath rock grinder. Gonna run them mostly as an alliied force. They're basically count as genestealer cult. Militia/mercenaries/rogue trader house guard. Magus is a navigator with serious warp talent and the patriarch is a daemonhost under control of the rogue trader.
So here's my guard army. Mostly veterans and convicts, an elite force. A lot of different bits. Wanted an urban vibe but still have some guys more geared toward temperate camo. Some vehicle conversion, the bombard is kit bash. The centaur is a converted bren gun carrier. I converted the taurox into a half track. Made a custom model for iron hand straken, went for an m bison vibe. His dual pistol wielding bodyguard and master of the fleet are both converted from valk crew. Nork deddog is an old metal ogryn with an ogre kingdoms head. Custom sgt harker conversion, wanted him to look more weighed down with gear.
So I put together a model for anacharis scoria in his xanathite abeyant. For the vodian sceptre I wanted something less mechanicus looking and more just like a relic hence the faceplate on it. Top of it is from the escher sprue. I think its like a chem flamer or something. I kept the little puff of gas/flame but I might trim it off later if I can't paint it well. Got a photon thruster on the left side, one of his archaeotech pistols is also the plasma pistol from the escher sprue. One arm I believe if from a dark eldar talos. The base I got from skimask mohawk, I believe it's sevetar's scenic base. I modified it to look like some kind of shield emiter with a command console. If you look close, the marine is trying to cut the power cord with his combat knife but he's pinned by abeyant's scything talons. I also have one of the mechandrites out of the back of the abeyant sorta tapping into the power grid. The main model is from the new necromunda terrain. It was too cool to pass up and way too cool to leave as a glorified crane, also helps that the promethium refinery came with two
Fluff wise I basically view it as less an abeyant and more of a combat shell/exo suit for scoria.
Next step is figuering out how to build the homonculex, scoria's personal experimental arlatax cyber automata
I don't usually got for anything major when it comes to basing, rarely anything aproaching scenic style. But when a model is on a big base like a 60mm and he happens to be a badass of almost primarch level notoriety I felt like it would work. I love all his titles too, "Anacharis Scoria, the xanophane tryrant, the fallen master, lord of the nine cohorts, the apostate magister"
Gotta say, these models are looking awesome!
