Happy to help, I think that is the most common thing people like about my stuff, that particular green!

More conversions time. The new Astra Militarum / Imperial Guard codex changed the way command squads work. Previously I had 12 veteran plasma gunners for my Astra Militarum and 12 converted classic stormtrooper plasma guns for the Tempestus Scions side of things. Rest In Peace to them…

New command squads have things like banners, voxes, and medics. So here’s me trying to make my guys work again:

2 Tempestus Scion command squad “regimental standard” bearers and one medic so far:






Then a Steel Legion medic:






And two Steel Legion regimental standard bearers:








Phew! Converting metal models is always a bit of a pain. Still going to be more fun than rebasing 15 heavy weapons teams onto 50mm bases.

Nothing too fancy. Here's an almost complete sergeant, just needs a chainsword on his back or waist.



Another very basic conversion of a company commander leading a command squad, with power sword and bolter:





This next one was just cutting down one of the same old cadian sergeant bolter arms and removing a pouch from the back of the steel legion commander to give him a slung bolter:





And one nearly correct command squad. The medic guy needs some more sculpting and fixing to make his hands more natural.

Ho ho ho Merry Christmas!

The old terminator warsmith finally got an axe to replace his old lightning claw. His shoulder pads are correct now too, before they were missing one layer of cataphractii shoulder plating.



Counts-as Abbaddon for… why not I guess? Supposedly you can ally him into any legion without messing things up. He’s my Iron Warrior ranking warsmith, probably answers to Perturabo, that sort of thing.

All the terminators have been primed, some have been washed, all have been put up on a bit of putty to create a more lumpy terrain shape.

Oh, wow. I came for the Skaven Tau, but stayed for all the other stuff. Your conversions are on point!
I'm an absolute fan of the green and red on your ad mech everything. An excellent contrast to the sand of Mars.
The Tau are a perfect bend of Tau bits and Skaven bits.
Well done all around.

Thanks DJ! With the Skaven Tau I wanted to make sure they had a lot of Tau bits on them so they'd be easy for an opponent to understand/identify. Less creative than classic Skaven Tau armies where every weapon is custom.

My new Chosen Aspiring Champion with combi-melta and accursed weapon, to replace this one with the Axe who should really be an Exalted Chamoion. This new guy needs a Chaos Icon on his backpack though, forgot to do that before the picture.






These guys are Tempestor Primes and can no longer take chainswords or really any melee weapon at all. Wack. They need to be redone to be legal.




Other things from old projects that need finishing/fixing, my Ironstrider Ballistarii. I'm not happy how the gun mounts worked out so I need to make a new gun mount from the ground up. Left arm tendril is just for show.

Excellent updates Ph34r! Love the Steel Legion guys, the red power sword is really, really cool. That red with the muted scheme is a great touch.

Thanks yeah, I like red as a glowy color contrasting lighter colors.

In building all my old partial sprues of skitarii, I have finally addressed my age-old annoyance with not really being able to tell my skitarii Ranger Alpha apart from the regular rangers. Just repeating a method I've done before in taking some cog halo type bits from electropriests and putting them on other stuff.







Doing the same thing about chaos cultists, the old type ones from the chaos vs dark angels (?) starter set.
My first squad has kind of medieval kettle helmets/hard hats look going on, this squad will have more tech cultisty hoods, this way I can tell them apart if I put the two units next to each other in a game ever.



And iron warrior Abaddon getting his axe closer to being ready, chopped it off to extend it so he isn't short-hafting it so extremely much, removed the old hand and prepared the pinning.

Abaddon conversion basically done, I probably copied this axe conversion from someone else on the internet but I can't find an example.



Two more vox casters with non-repeated poses, fixed medic 1's hands being awkward, need to bridge the gap. Made a second medic by just slapping a medic bag in place of a bed roll on a lasgunner. Sculpted gloves (roughly) on all the cadian arm parts on all the sergeants and other arm swaps, so their hands match one another.




Put painted circles of thin cardstock (?) on the 4 turrets because, I guess their kinda imperfect lumpy tops bugged me, I never could get them flat without taking out the magnets and redoing that it seemed.



Also drilling two holes for magnets in the bottom so they can go in my cases:

Cool stuff on here ph34r. Some really imaginative conversion work. The pastel minty green is a really effective colour you’ve developed, and it works strongly with the red earth too. Loving where the Abaddon conversion is heading too, the mod to the axe works really well.

Thanks, yeah I love that sorta green. Pastels in general really.

A solid chunk more updates, firstly Abaddon has all the basic paints on just about:






He can also go without the cape too, currently it just kinda fits on:



He is one of the last models I needed to get from partially done/bits to painted, the Iron Warriors project is nearly at a more or less "complete" stage.

The formerly highest ranking Warsmith in my force is done being rearmed with an axe in place of a power claw, because the special axe is just way better the way they've decided to do the Chaos Lord right now.



Chaos chosen champion also nearly complete.


Here's a balefire tome guy, I'm happy with the modeling though the picture makes the painting look a bit ass right now. Okay actually it looks a bit rough in real life right now too but whatever, he will get a better face and flame and some details and be fine eventually.


For the Mechanicus, I have about ~15 or so work in progress vanguard and rangers from one whole box plus some random bodies. Here's three of special weapons for the rangers and vanguard each:


Skitarii Vanguard and Ranger Alphas now have a free special melee weapon, so I have basically immediately turned around my nearly done Alphas and re-armed them:



That's a bunch of stuff out of the way or nearly out of the way for now.
I also spray primed black:
-10 horus heresy mechanicum tech thralls
-3 mechanicum thallax
-3 chimera turret heavy bolters and 2 hull heavy bolters
-some servo skulls that my mechanicus tech priest dominuses are supposed to have attached to them
-3 mechanicus serberys raiders

The chaos guys look very cool as do your admech. The cog halo on the Skitarii is such a bloody good idea. I'm afraid I might have to nick that from you in the future when I next return to my admech if that's okay?

Thank you both, the color on the Imperial Guard tanks is Ionrach Skin. Great color.

I am currently working on 50mm scenic bases for my Imperial Guard heavy weapons teams. I have 5 teams using this old OOP lascannon carriage that will form most of my heavies besides mortars.
