Pretty sweet. It's funny what a difference a head swap makes.

Where are the heads from?

Puppetswar.eu, they make a lot of great resin bits

Damn, those are sexy.

Looking good, what's next on the paint bench?

I’m working on two squads of kitbashed assault squad marines with jump packs, I’ve got two of them painted out of 10 so far.
I need to also post my finished Indomitus Captain and Lieutenant.

I love the scheme, it's very "reverse Flesh Tearers". The helmets are fantastic as well! My only critical comment is that having the Sarges with black helmets make the Sarges fade a bit into the background, rather than stand out.

Yeah, this is something I've been thinking about since I completed the second one.
Any color you'd recommend for the sarge helmets?

Maybe something metallic? Like a dark metallic red?

That could work. Possibly a white-grey also?

Wow, some really cool stuff in here! Very creative custom chapter. I really love your Kill Team, every Marine is different, the loadouts are very cool conversions and each one has so much character Also, props for the puppetswar heads! Wouldn't have thought of using them on Space Marines, but it looks great!

Maybe the normal red but with a black stripe? Then you can do a white stripe within the black stripe for Lieutenants.

Great looking stuff. The head swap is very effective. The 2-fisted Sergeant is all kinds of cool.

Ooo I that could be real good and not too hard to fix up on my current sergeants.

Thanks! He's probably my favorite one so far.

Progress on my Gorgon Gaze Terminators

Huh, the stormcast mask works great with the termies, really eerie & fitting for the "Gorgon Gaze" unit name ...

Thank you. I think they fit too. In the lore of my chapter, they have a potential gene seed mutation they call the Stone Blight. It’s a black carapace mutation in which turns the individuals skin a grey color and can fuse their armor to their skin, making it extremely difficult to remove the armor without surgical intervention. It affects the mental state of the marines, making them more automaton in nature. The mutation can result in petrification over many years. The marines who are effected the worst by the Stone Blight are usually encased in terminator armor and fight until they are killed in battle or the stone blight takes over. Those are the Gorgon Gaze Terminators. They fight in silence and serve until they can no longer.

Gorgon Gaze Terminators are done!

Those inceptors look great! You did an AMAZING job painting those smoke plumes.

Thank you! I dislike those original flying stands so when I saw those smoke plumes I knew I had to go for it.

Those termies look sweet! Very cool to have an alternative scheme for terminators.

Also, those inceptors are awesome, as are the plumes. I'll have to get a friend of mine to print some off for me.

I’m a big fan of the alternate scheme for the terminators.

I’d recommend the plumes. I think I linked the store page in a previous post. They are resin, so they will need the cleaned. I had to sand the bottom down on mine to get them to fit on the base evenly as well, so just a heads up.

Felt I needed some more troops, here’s my intercessors
