@Casey - Birthdate estimated at 14th Aug, so 3 days away. I had a look in my bits and sadly I don't have any nurgle guys, I have a few Slaanesh and Khorne guys and 1 or 2 Tzeentch guys so those will have to wet your appetite in the mean time.

@Nash - You are far to kind mate, I am really happy with Fulgrim and this felblade will be an interesting project indeed!

Update: lets get some highlights on that grey!

Whoa, talk about good timing, didn't realise it was quite as soon as that when I asked. Excited much?

Make sure and tell the missus that you know how she feels after your big miniatures push.

@Daxx - I'll do you one better in the link is a picture to what my one will be based off of
Spoiler:



@Graven - Hahahah I see what you did there, brilliant I said it to the Mrs, she was not impressed by our humour

@Casey - Very, but also nervous, I had wanted to get the felblade done by this time but doing the bathroom up got in the way.

So I have now entered into fatherhood, my little son has been born, 8.8 pounds/3.860kg 53cm long. Mum and Baby are doing very well

@Nash - It'd be the banners I bet, adds a bit more height to them

@Daxx - Yeah, I got the idea from my GMS with Ice, I used it as a psychic hood, because its a hood. get it

@Casey - you'll have to tell me tomorrow when I post the combined army shot

Update: Took some squad photos
Completed models

Now that I can share out the psycannons the other squad gets one and I swap one other guy in.
Squad 1 Adjusted


Squad 2 Adjusted

@Graven - Hopefully you've seen the pic I shared on Facebook of my little guy? if not let me know and I'll send it through to you

@Gits - Thanks

@Casey - Yeah putting them all out it was quite an eye opener, it was interesting as I keep them all in travel cases and it sneaks up on you how much plastic crack you have got sitting around

@Miss Dee - Yep, I have 5 scouts I plan on making up, Hope to make the Sgt as a Telion counts as

Update: so I'm not dead, but I am rather tired, my little guy is quite vocal when he is hungry, and he is hungry a lot! I did manage to get about 3 hours to myself while he was asleep taking off mould lines and taking stock of what I'm going to try slap on this Felblade
So first up is the hull, there are three things I'd like to do, change the demolisher cannon for a more Spacemarine one, the turret on the left I want to replace it with a Razorback Turret with Psycannon upgrade. At the rear I want to put in the Vindicator fan accessory in place of IG version


Second up is the parts I got from Machinator over a year ago so they got cleaned up (after the pic was taken)


Last up is the main turret and possible ideas, Now I was thinking a TL Gatling Psylincer, having Chronus as the tank commander and plenty of missiles!


I am very open to ideas about conversion ideas, fire away!

Looks good and yeah, saw the little guy how about sponsors with flamestorm cannons as heavy incinerators? Maybe replace the ig demolisher with a vindicator cannon? Also how about a whacking great plough on the thing? Like 3 Chimera ploughs lined up?
...
You wanted ideas!

Ah... the joys of daddyhood. (don't get me started... Thing 1 had colic)

I like the plow idea... or how about some kind of mechanical battering ram built into the hull?
