@bocattMade, I agree and i try to incorporate some of it but most monk figures are stereo types or the wrong size, i am still looking for a 40/54mm Buddhist monk figure that i can turn into my primarch.

Wow, this is a great army idea. Like the fluff, and the models are looking good. I wasn't sure about the yellow robes at first, but with the brown shading it works well. And you made a ruddy Rhino out of ruddy card! That's incredible

Thanks for the comment, have to Finish the Terminator Captain, have been working too much on other things

My Buddhist captain is almost finished

It has been a while,

Finally received my scibor miniature and it will become my Primarch, Siddhartha in the armor gifted to him by the emperor.
The miniature comes with a wicked axe but my Buddhist primarch only uses a (force) pole. Added some exhausts to the back to
make it look that the power plant is merged into the suit.

Some base colors added and i received my heavy Valkir and APC!

Valkir are nice and chunky aren't they? Only small next to the terminators and Hero figures

They look small only because 40k have become more chunky over the years, i will make 5 into Honor guard for my 2nd Legion Primarch.

I use the close combat specialists as the platoon command squad, I use the 20 as 2 tactical squads and the heavy weapons as well, heavy weapons! LOL! But they are the troops the Kruegerian Republic calls on for really tough opposition to doing their part for the Khadrovian Union of United Republics to which they belong. Gonna get a 2nd Keilerkopf Hanomag and put the anti-tank cannons on it, will make ammo boxes for the things as I ordered the tripod mounted variety, will glue them in place of the quad HMGs.

Painted the inside of my Dreamforge KeilerKopf APC and the first base color on the outside.



Added some more colors on my Buddhist Primarch and my Valkir (sorry for the blurry pic)

I see that on the Hanomag you are going base coat sand yellow, going for the Green and brick camo? and did you tape the windows of the Hanomag?

So the Valkir have joined the ranks of the Marines.

Nope going for this


Tape windows why?


Yeah off course

The valkir will be lots got twenty of them so conversion time!

Must be a world of rust and oxidized metals and such?

Valkir were worth it! I do like my set of the armored troopers

just found your thread... and at first i thought what a crazy idea....well still thinking so ^^... but i am now hooked....

have you thought about a kharne the betrayer model as a start for the conversion?... or bare arm of catachans?... together with some DA bits... that could look quite good... also bald heads...well... there probably wont be a shortage of these...^^...also...the bretorian set of whafb has a fat brother tuck head... maybe that could be a nice character for your army too?

subbed^^

cheers, vik

Thanks for the sub, Don't want to go overboard with the characters but i am thinking of using infinities shaolin monks as initiates

More work done on the Keilerkopf APC
Camouflage and wheels added, Camo still need som touch ups. the sideskirts were a bitch to get on as they don't have many attach points.

Still, a bold camo scheme!

cool camo scheme... just some patches need a retouch as they are a tad smeared looking... but it is very striking...

Thanks for the comments maybe thinking of adding some slight weathering.

Just rtying to think of what will work? The main base color is bright, maybe metal wear showing through?

More thinking of a wash of brown or sand color

Brown wash would work

Some more marines in the making and some more paint slapped on the primarch and valkir

Good assortment of parts! I like you made one kneeling, will he also be aiming a bolter?

Nothing decided yet

Ah, keeping options open then

Some progress on my Marines

And even with this darn heat i managed to put together all Valkir

Building up into an impressive-looking force.

Nice work on the camo. It's certainly eye-catching
