OJSClatchford: No problem on the bits, I'm surpring myself sometimes...
Thanks for the suggestion for the pouches, but I don't have much interest in Space Marines so the sprues I have are hidden in the bottom of a not so easy to access box...
Gobert: Thanks, it was indeed super satisfying when I got them to a good point.

Hi all, Meant to post last week but this just means I have more to post...
It's pretty much all Beorht stuff at the moment, still can't come up with a good name for Beorht Delta, most of my naming at the moment are coming from Old English words and I'm leaning towards Onginnan (to begin) or Acennan (to give birth).
Beorht Epsilon is provisionally Sweostor (Sister).
Anyways, put together some Kriedians:
The pouches went quite smoothly, I found some that I liked glued them together in a trio and then made a Blue Stuff mold of it:
(I used the pouches in the right, no idea where they're from, they had cylinders next to them, I'm sure OSJC will know
)
This I then filled with sprue goo and let dry, less is more it seems. This gave me a thin shell that was easy to trim down to the right size. I also did some pouches with
GS and Miliput as a test
First issue I had was that there weren't enough Kantrael style lasguns in the box, so I have to put some special weapons in for now or wait until I grab another nucadian box...
It seemed appropriate to use the krieg sniper rifle as it looks more bolt action and I added a
GSC shotgun as well:
The next issue was the heads not being compatible at all. I solved this with filing the top smooth, reducing the height of the collars in the process, and the drilling a 5mm neck hole. This was then cleaned up with a knife:
Then the neck of the cadian head was trimmed to fit. A bit of sprue goo in the neck hole helped fill the gaps:
Another problem was the back of the Krieger torso, I didn't want to use the backpacks as these guys are supposed to be on base so "might as well take dope and beer instead."
This left a gap that I have since filled with a Miliput/
GS mix.
At some point, I will make some
GS up to finish the webbing straps.
I am currently putting that off as I type...

Also for Beorht, I started on some of the Noble class:
Commodore Saehulf (Left) and Lord General Field Marshall Hereward (Right).
Commodore Saehulf, Commander of Fleet Beorht. Responsible for four picket ships and 2 troop carriers as well associated landing craft and voidsmen. His orders come primarily from Battlefleet Nephilim which, despite being a cousin of the governor, he takes great delight in reminding the govening body when conflicts of interest arise.
He does however regularly favour his home system in secret...
Lord General Field Marshall Hereward, commander of the PDF.
A vain and corrupt man who is close friends with the governor. Regularly underfunds and sells off PDF assets. The Departmento Exacta sends an agent to monitor his activities during the tithe.
He views himself as the pinicle of armed warfare and hates the fact that the Psyker Deupavor has more military experience than him and so he ensures that he personally executes enemies of the state in an attempt to inflate his kill count.

Lastly some more Trash Wastes Bandits:
The Heavy started out as an exoskeleton suit for Hereward before I decided to try and keep the nobles dressed as if they're going to a party.
