I'll do another with Karak stone fatigues sorry for the lack of updates now I'm really torn between schemes. Thanks for all your feedback! Okuma do you mean the arms without the bulky shoulder pads? Those are the eisenkern arms I think the models would have too few GW parts to be allowed to play in store if I did them all like that sadly :(

God, GW are such donkey-caves when it comes to conversions and 3rd parties.

LeCacty I stripped the paint on the new scheme I tried, going to stick with the original scheme I think it will work with the Disciple models Updates coming soon, in the mean time here are my Blight Drones and Conqueror Leman Russ tanks, almost ready for priming, just need to add some etched brass and remove some paint and clean up some of the turrets and waiting for an OOP turret cupola to be delivered (for the rear tank).

Awesome! I'm really glad you decided on the first one. The tanks should look epic in it! Will the blight drones share the scheme or will they be different?

Yeah I think it will look better especially for the tanks. Blight Drones will have the same scheme as the tanks obviously with extra fleshy bits

Cheers I will clean up where the agrax wash has run too far... do you think I should have done stronger drybrush with the Ushabti Bone and Terminatus Stone?

Maybe a bit stronger, yes. You can do a second though, which should make it pop some more

Spoiler:


25 more based... Very slow progress! Elected to choose the small base for my enforcer/disciple Plasma gunslingers.

My decal paper you can see in the background didn't work with my printer, the transfers fell apart as soon as they were soaked (let them a few hours to dry) and I have almost finished paint stripping some of my forgeworld turrets. Some had several layers of paint then prime then paint on them lol. Hopefully the resin won't be damaged, some of them look like recasts or it might just be the resin is stained. Took three buckets of dettol and over two weeks of soaking, with intermittent scrubbing, to get it all off.

Here's me trying to fit the old chimera kit to the chapterhouse studios wheelkit. There's a huge gap at the back and front that needs sorting (used some sprue), the chapterhouse studios kit doesn't fit at all but was easier than trying to fit it to the latest chimera kit:

Spoiler:


Side by side with new chimera (eisenkern arms used on tank gunners):


My two vanquisheres made from paint stripped Leman Russ's and my Conqueror turrets adapted to fit standard Leman Russ kit


Autocannon Gunners ready for greenstuff, priming and painting before being glued into autocannon bases. (poses all should fit nicely)

I didn't add any extra detail I just went straight to weathering, this is my first attempt I have only used GW products.

Looking dang good. Awesome conversions and nice grimy color scheme. Keep it up!

Do you have fluff for the army? (I may have missed it)

Thanks Formerly Wu, I wrote a little piece of background information on one of my army lists, I'll copy and paste it here inside the spoiler.

Spoiler:
They knew the system was called Minerva, but nothing of the unknown forces that overthrew the oppressive regime of the Imperium thousands of years ago. After the revolution an attempt by the Imperium was made to regain the system but their fleet did not arrive intact. Hundreds of years of brutal civil wars ensued. Jealous rivals seeking to take control of the system for themselves, Chaos cults hoping to turn the people to their patron deity; and worse. These wars have made the cultures of the system produce hardened warriors whom respected life but would rather die than be enslaved. The system was finally united when the Prophet Tamika Oni led the peaceful rebellion against the Grey Dragon Dynasty of Minerva IIIa. She and her disciples took control of the Government and ordered immediate elections, where they won an overwhelming majority thus securing control of the both planets. Several years and many tactical nuclear strikes later the entire system was united behind Tamika Oni. Her dreams and visions of a brighter future for its citizens were enough to maintain the peace and form a loyal core of believers that would govern and maintain order on the six worlds. The system was united once again, but no longer subservient to the oppression of the Imperium. Tamika Oni died of a mysterious illness shortly after. The Council of the Five took over: an elected official from each world (Minerva IIIa & IIIb only got one seat) who then elected a Supreme Overlord. With relative peace in the system and everyday problems left to the governing bodies on each world, it was the Supreme Overlords job to organize the defense of the system to external threats. Despite thousands of years of isolation from the oppression of the Imperium, there was still regular warp travel and communication in and out of the system, in small warp-capable vessels. They were as well-prepared, as much as any human force could be, for the horrors of the Galaxy.

Minerva - Red Dwarf
Minerva I - Agriculture World (~2billion population, extreme climate, hot and humid, nuclear fallout) Main Faction: Aurora Dawn
Minerva II - Agriculture World (~5billion population, temperate climate, small oceans, hurricanes, nuclear fallout) Main Faction: Union Militant
Minerva IIIa - Hive World (~150billion population, double planet, vast deserts, little water, freezing poles, high gravity and escape velocity, dense atmosphere, system government centre, nuclear fallout) Main Faction: Grey Dragons
Minerva IIIb - Forge World (~3billion population, double planet, temperate world with small oceans and rich crust, centre of power) Main Faction: Grey Dragons
Minerva IV - Ocean World (~1billion, floating cities, abundant and diverse sea life, frozen polar caps with millions of rocky islands) Main Faction: Aurora Dawn
Minerva V - Hive World (~65billion population, thin atmosphere being terraformed, cold but habitable, small deep seas linked by cracks in the crust, acid rain, nuclear fallout) Main Faction: Union Militant
The Ashen Veil - Debris Belt (tens of thousands of interstellar vessels torn to shreds as they dropped out of the warp near Minerva VI, massive pirate activity in this area)
Minerva VI - Brown Dwarf (retrograde orbit, unnatural orbital velocity, dozens of cold dead moons, pirate bases, deadly radiation)

All the planets apart from Minerva VI orbit closely together just within the habitable zone of their ancient sun. They are similar in size to Holy Terra, apart from Minerva IIIa which is a super-earth. Minerva IIIb is tidally locked to Minerva IIIa. The Ashen Veil is visible on every planet even during daylight hours.

The system has two hive worlds and so there are no shortage of recruits or hardened veterans from the recent civil war to lead the system in its defense against the threats of the Universe. The system is near the Eye of Terror and they have avoided being destroyed by various Chaos Warlords through delicate diplomacy and a tenuous relationship with the Black Legion. Such interstellar diplomacy with Chaos, Xenos and other Renegade Forces is controlled by the Grey Dragon Dynasty. Dangerous rifts and warp-storms and strange gravitational effects around the system have deposited thousands of large interstellar ships into the orbit of the planetary system, so much so that it has formed its own dark asteroid-like belt around the central star. The belt grows every year as ships too large to drop out of the warp in this sector of space meet their fate. The inhabitants of all six planets named their system after it; the Ashen Veil.

Finally finished my Autocannon Support team. I'm going to need a lot more practice to paint better faces that's for sure, but I am happy enough that they are good enough to put on the table for now.

More updates:

Back row: More Lasgun Renegade Infantry/Veterans; WIP.
Middle Row: Support Team Heavy Stubbers; WIP.
Front Row: Marauder Heavy Stubbers, smaller base due to one wound model; WIP (Not decided how to model my Marauders yet, trying to mix in some non-official stuff whilst keeping it 65%+ GW).

Finally finished assembling my Platoon. The entire army is almost fully assembled, I need to make a few more melta infantry, several flamer infantry, some marauders, five Chimera and two Arvus Lighters then I am finished.

Here's a picture of my finished Lasgun Infantry squad (3 Melta's, One Chaos Sigil, One Melta Bomb Champion, 15 Lasgun)



Here's a picture of most of what I have assembled so far. It's really a daunting prospect to finish painting it all, but I want to finish this year. I only have a few more things to assemble.

Here's a better picture of them after some light work on the guns to make them more like lasguns/autoguns/autopistols/laspitsols.


Spoiler:




Do you think they are modified enough to pass and not be confused with Mechanicum weapons? Thanks.
