I already have a couple of showcase threads going for my Space Rhinos and Death Guard projects.

Death Guard
https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/713634.page

Unfortunately I have a tendency to paint whatever strikes my fancy whenever my fancy is struck. As a result I kinda paint a disparate array of stuff. This showcase is for the disparate array of stuff I paint but doesn't conform to either project.

Beautiful paint job better then I could do but my god her face is scary.... Did she has a bubble from fine cast on it? She kinda looks like vlad.

Again nothing against your paintjob it is perfect but that model oh my.

It's the metal version, not finecast.

So it is very possible that there is damage.
Or that it's a bad cast.

*shrug* I thought the face turned out alright.

Edit: Y'know, thinking about it, I got this second hand on ebay and it wasn't all that well protected when I received it. So probability of damage is pretty high actually. That said, if memory serves the face of this Celestine sculpt is pretty horrendous naturally too

You might just get that wish - I have been gazing lustily at the Triumvirate of the Imperium for quite a while (mainly for Greyfax) so the new Celestine may well end up being added to my collection.

Even if I don't really want the Archmagos... (one of the nuisances of these damn Triumvirate box sets. I always end up wanting only one of the models. Greyfax in the first box and Yvraine for the impending Eldar one [for my Dark Eldar])

This is a reupload (new photo, older model) - I hadn't noticed but the old photo of my Alpharius miniature garnered a lot of attention. But the photo sucked and was all dark. So here is a better one!

Weapon and head-swaps.
The Pale Spear is converted from the shaft of the Betrayal at Calth Chaplain, part of a Dark Eldar Raider pike and obviously a Custodes sword (gotta use those swords for somethin')
His Plasma Blaster is from the Tartaros Terminators in Burning of Prospero.
His head is about 1/2 of one of the Custodes heads. I had to saw it in half and carve away a significant portion of the back so it would fit but I wanted a more expressive face that suited 40k a little better (if you've seen the original Kabuki mini you'll know what I mean)

I still wasn't too happy with the lighting on the Alpharius photo so here is a photo with more even lighting (along with my other two Primarch minis - Vulkan and my beloved doom of a thousand words)

As an aside, Vulkan may look a bit bettered and bruised - unfortunately the mini sustained significant feline related damage and so I've had to do my best masking said damage (little I can do about the missing finger but I figure Vulkan is the one Primarch who isn't really bothered by missing limbs... or orbital bombardments vaporizing him... or anything really... so I just bloodied up the remaining stump.)

Edit: I have removed and uploaded new photographs of the Primarchs after adding more detail to Mortarion and repainting Vulkan almost entirely. See below.

It's been a while but I'm back with yet another side project of mine. I've been too busy to dedicate time to my Death Guard or any bigger projects but with the release of Shadow War: Armageddon I decided to paint up some Harlequins I've had lying around for the better part of 2 years.


Harlequin Kill Team (Masque of the Veiled Path)

I'll upload better photos in a couple of days.

I might reupload Mortarion with better light. It's a fairly dark paint job, trying to make him look like he's on Prospero fighting against Jaghatai Khan in Scars (where he's described to already look disheveled with a dark aura).

Vulkan is meant to be depicting the last stand at the drop-site massacre as the loyalist space marines who stayed with him die around him and he tries (and fails) to protect them (so no, he isn't killing the Raven Guard behind him, I tried to make it look like he is actually shielding the Raven Guard).

Next project I am probably going to embark on is a Jaghatai Khan kitbash. I will probably start a new blog to document it as he will be my largest kitbash to date. But suffice to say I have some cool ideas! Hopefully I can pull them off!

All good stuff, but Morty takes the cake, there's a wonderful sense of sombre decay to him, you can practically feel the dread those colours evoke. Lovely stuff.

Stuff looks good. Liking the conversions. Those plasma weapons look like they're going to explode with that OOSL though.

I do go a little OTT with OSL haha
In fairness, the reason Kranon's is so bright is that it is also possessed by g-g-g-ghooooosts.

So I'm currently back to the conversions, or more specifically kit bashes. This time my project is an Inquisitorial Shadow War Kill Team which invokes a sort of 80s Sci Fi/Post Apocalyptic style. Think Mad Max, Escape from New York, The Warriors. I'll let you guys be the judge as to whether I'm headed in the right direction (I deliberately went with contrasting neon colours... y'know... 80s theme... everything was neon in the 80s)


Ordo Xenos Inquisitor


Crusader w. Power Maul


Crusader w. Chainsword and Storm Shield


Acolyte Sniper
This one doesn't really fit the same style but he was intended to resemble that trope in 80s movies of the mad inventor, hence the sniper rifle looks self-made with a belt feed, ported barrel, etc. He's kind of intended to be the hero-inventor-nerd-sidekick

I hope you guys like! I'm happy with them so far. Especially the Crusader w. Power Maul.

I'd appreciate it if y'all could come up with some ideas for names, maybe a backstory for each of them

Loving the base on that Chaos Lord. Is that layers of broken miliput or something else?

The warband is coming along nicely. Not big on the neon, but I see what you're going for.

It's a bit of a botched attempt at using cork. I tried to pick up some cork board to find out that it was a small layer of cork with corrugated cardboard underneath, i.e. fairly useless.
In the end I decided to rip it into similar shapes and stack it to get a nice tiered effect. Turned out pretty nice actually!
