Here's a few of my completed models. Most are all me, 2 were converted and modelled by me, then passed off to someone else to be airbrushed.

Macharius Vulcan, painted for a friend.



An Orky Skullhamma for Gamesday I modelled in a day, painted by someone else.


My favorite tank conversion I've ever done, Huron Blackheart's personal HellHammer. Painted by the same guy that did up the skullhamma.





A non chapter specific Chaplain dread, on the best base I've done so far imo.




Terminator chaplain



Azrael with the Lion Helmet on. My most indepth conversion of an infantry figure.





And that's it for now, lots more to come when I get all the pics taken.
Thanks for taking the time to look through them.

Loving the colours on Azrael and the chaplain dread is fantastic.

This is truly awesome. Great job putting this together! I just wonder if it's spikey enough.

Thanks a lot guys, definitely appreciate the feedback.

@kamakazepanda Thanks, the intent of Azrael's scheme was definitely to achieve a throwback look to older Black armor.

@Moltar Haha, I didn't think it was spikey enough until I added the side rails with razor wire to help prevent boarding attempts. And thanks about Azrael, I'd never done such a large amount of conversion work on a 40mm model before, very proud of it.

@Jones96 Thanks, that skullhamma made me laugh quite a bit, I wish I had the rest of the photos to show how much work went into every other angle as well. And that guy has mad talent, he goes by 'The Inquisitor' over on Warseer, tons of talent, and is always trying to better his skills on random ideas as well. I still wish that he would've painted the face white though, and left the nose and eyebrows red

Well, I finally got through a bunch of projects, some mine and some commissions, and wanted to get back to posting a hobby thread. Mostly to help motivate myself, but also partly due to prodding from friends.

So, first up, the Legio Crucius warhound titan I did. The scheme was decided upon by a friend for his warhound basically because it mirrors his personal approach to 40K. Basic. Businesslike. Not flashy or flamboyant. So, black and white it was. The only big issue was that he didn't like the curvy appearance of the Mars pattern warhound, so he picked a Lucius Pattern (Jackal trim) to start. I had a long love hate relationship trying to magnetize the weapons and waist, because the only ones I had done before and have seen in person had used too big of magnets, that lift the model and create unnecessary jarring to the $600 model when they connect.

His scheme ended up white mask, stripes on left shin guard, simple markings on shoulder, legio symbol on outside right shin guard.

Here's the Legio Crucius symbol shin guard. It was a complete pain to paint that over an angle shift in the armor, but I'm very happy with how it turned out. Definitely the hardest freehand design I've ever painted.


Inside the cockpit. Tried to go for a different feel on the screens than I've done before. I assume that the weapons would have different displays, and painted them accordingly.
I also wanted a touch of Legio flair inside the cockpit, so I painted the doors black and white. The hole in the door is for the steel rod that attaches to the magnets in the torso, allowing free tilt dynamic posing.
The ceiling quote is a favorite of the owner, "Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead."

I'll update for the final pictures in the light box(including piston close ups and back detail, which I cleverly didn't upload to the PC yet.

I appreciate any comments, and can answer any questions also. Thanks for reading!
