Thanks for the kind words Gobert!
It's been a few months since I did an update but I have not been idle, in fact I have been painting up a storm which means time for another chunky update!
Let's start with some Terminators, first off, someof the new plastic Indomitus guys, great sculpts and much better scaled than the old ones
This is Scopey, the worst shot in the entire legion, hence the 6 scopes in the desperate attempt to help him hit something smaller than a Blackstone Fortress
After a lot of hunting, I finally found some STL's for Gorgon Terminators, completing my armour variant collection for terminator armour!
These guys I printed far too large so my headcannon is that they are Thunder Warriors in custom armour to help contain all their awesomeness
Tried to do a new paint scheme on the shoulderpads, ended up making them the exact colour of the bases, ah well!
Not terminators per-se, but a few Primaris marines did manage to sneak into my army somehow, probably a magic time portal?
Did I say I had every armour variant? Time to make up some new ones, this offshoot of Indomitus armour has segmented knees and weird helmets, feel free to suggest a name for it!
Let's take a quick break from infantry, how about some tanks?
First up, a Rhino variant with a little more headroom for the taller gentlemen
Not enough headroom you say? How about a convertible instead?
Not enough firepower either? Take a Basilisk and that's my final offer
Okay, time to fill those tanks with some troops.
First up, a repainted Pyrae flamer squad
I also repainted the Pavoni terror squad with sweet new purple skin tones
While I was painting them, I did the new Posessed kit as well. Not nearly as good a kit as the old one in my opinion, I am not a fan of the newer monopose kits, makes conversions much harder...
Hey, more Primaris, where are these guys coming from?!
Ah there we go, some classic beakies, much better
Finally got to use up one of the big transfers from the sheet!
And the spotty teenagers of space marine armour variants, MK5 Heresy
Oh gosh, the time portal is going weird again, more Primaris with bug guns
And a rare appearence of some MK8 Errant armour (based off the original Jes Goodwin sketch)
Check out those fancy power fist style gauntlets
To conclude the whacky time loop portion of this adventure, I bring you some MK16 Damocles armour. If Tau inspired Space Marines aren't Heresy, nothing is.
Oh and I repainted some old assault marines as well, they were some of the first models I ever converted for this army back in 2011
Time for another break, let's do some Dreadnoughts this time
Starting off with a Deredeo, all praise the airbrush, glowy plasma has never been so easy!
I finally got the Space Crusade dreads painted after a very long time
Possibly the most uncomfortable dreadnought to be wired into? Assuming the head is at the front and the feet at the back, that's like sleeping facedown for the next 10,000 years
Ugly is a big boy, had to steal Magnus's base as it was the only one large enough
The biggest fella is the Telemon Dreadnought however, guess a Custodes forgot to lock up after battle because my guys snagged it for their own collection
Walking on the ground is so 41st millenium though, how about some things that fly?
I dug out an ancient Landspeeder that was painted up in my old Imperial Guard colours, here's a before and after
Crazy to think it was 13 years sonce I first built this model...
Feeling inspired, I finished another landspeeder in the collection
As they both felt a little to well armoured, I gave the army a nice couch to sit in, complete with powerful engines and assault cannon
In addition to leaving the dreadnought unlocked, the Custodes also parked some jetbikes in a tow-zone so the Thousand Sons snagged those as well
Oops, forgot some infantry, time for a truly weird armour variant, let's call it MK2c Sontar Pattern
Breachers all armed with hot pink Gravity guns? Almost definitely not allowed in-game but I love them
We are reaching the end, time to wrap up with a chef curated selection of Consuls and Chapter Masters
Starting off we have a champion and master of signals
The
MoS clearly did his on the job training with the Ravenguard
Next up, people with too many limbs
Plus an armistos who should probably keep his helmet on based on the radioactive glow of his conversion beamer
Then we have Laudren Thalarn, first Chaplain of the Thousand Sons... plus a random terminator I didn't know what to do with
Now for a couple of Moriats, possibly my favourite type of
HQ, the double pistol is just so fun, add in a jetpack and it's even better
Behold, another champion, a pathfinder, and in the middle, Raptora master sorcerer
Definitely need to add some glow to the base of the sorcerer, it looks very weird without it at the moment.
Yet more Custodes kit falling into the wrong hands, makes for a nice herals and praetor though!
As the 9 Fellowships of the TSons all have a named character leading them, I naturally had to make/print unique models for them
This is Menes Kalliston of the 4th Fellowship
And here we have Baleq Uthizzar of the 5th. Praise Tzeentch for skilled 3D designers who can look at a piece of artwork and create stuff like this
Finally, I present Auramagma of the 8th, cheerfully summoninga Tutelary who wants you to get off his lawn
The army has now surpassed 500 models! I did a photoshoot with them to celebrate 1 year of painting them in the new metallic paint scheme. Much of the stuff above was painted since then so it's even bigger now!
This was after I went on a basing rampage and used up a whole giant tub of crackle paste and breathed in an impressive amount of weathering powder.
Hmm, don't think I showed off the Kratos and Landraiders, here they are!
Including repaints, I have about 150 models left to add, then I think it's time for a break. Maybe back to Titanicus? Or I could dust off my old Mechanicus army?
Thanks for dropping by!
