Hello hobbyists!

Welcome to my P&M thread, where I'll be building a custom chapter of Space Marines I call the Iron Reapers. It's going to be a long time to finish off the full 2000pts, so buckle up buckaroos.

For me, I've been in the hobby on and off for about 18 years, and I've always wanted to convert up a real nice looking army to use on the table. Now that I have a career, I'm confident we can accomplish this.

To start things off, I'd just like to showcase a few bits I've accumulated from PopGoesTheMonkey and Liber Daemonica.
In a few days from now I should be getting a paint order from Reaper, so until then I don't have much in the way of painted pieces.

Cheers!

First are these hooded skull helmets from Pop. The website doesn't do the bits justice.

Scythe and Arakha weapons also from Pop. I like the Arakha because it looks like a sickle.

Shields for the Bladeguard veterans. Or in my head canon, "Graveguard" veterans.

Sorry for the poor lighting, these shoulder pads from LD are incredible. I also have the MORTIS heads from LD, but the lighting is god awful.

Small little update. Had a great career change and was actually able to afford a model. Picked up the newer Captain in Gravis Armour. With a little dremel work and a couple beers I was able to get the scythe hand from PopGoestheMonkey onto the arm.

Anyways, I've already started the painting process so once I've done at least the armour I'll post an update.

Cheers!

Another small update on the chapter master. Done a ton of work on the armor overall. Still so much left to go....
Also finished the helmet, but were gonna save that for the finished piece.

Can't quite see the armor much, but it's not even done. Polished off the power scythe though!

The scythe is looking great! Good luck with the project.

Been doubling down on some minis lately. Trying to find motivation can be difficult, especially when life keeps throwing curveballs your way.

General question to readers, how do you motivate yourself to paint?

Anyways, cheers!

Another update on the first portion of my Iron Reapers chapter. This time we have highlights and a few heads going, plus minor details like the purity seals, leather pouches, and a bit of basing.

Since the models I have are second hand, unfortunately there is no grenadier model. So now he is. Painted this head almost a year ago, thought it was a good time to use it.

Mostly finished intercessor. Was going to go unhooded for basic marines, but the hoods don't fit in Gravis Armour. So here we are. Love it

Capt. Hodgeheg

"I have seen war in all its forms. I have seen feral world savages braining each other with stones, and I have monitored the death of a whole planet at the hands of a virus bomb. I have seen Space Marines drop to certain death, and win. I have seen Titans crush whole platoons underfoot. But there is no more stirring sight in war than the charge of massed cavalry." - Dravin Gratz, 14th Tharinga Regiment.

This weekend I was able to sit down and polish off most of the sergeant for my Intercession Killteam. At this point I can confidently get out and play some games finally. Well after some basing later tonight.

Also have the cape and potentially a banner on the Chapter Master to work on, so updates on that later too.

Thanks for stopping by!

Edit, having technical difficulties with the photos on the website, they only seem to post upsidedown. We'll be back.
