Because GW did my poor Repulsor Executioner dirty, I decided to make a swap-out turret so I can also use it as a regular Repulsor.
I consolidated the weapons a bit into "bullets/ missiles/lasers", because frankly, no one can remember them all anyways.

Much better looking with the weapons on the turret!

I am loving these conversions still, such a cool army concept. The new Librarian you’ve done looks ace, the pose is mint af. And the Tech Marine Mr. Handy suits the theme perfectly.

I'll add my voice in praise of your modelling skills but also I love the fluff you came up with. Primaris controlled by ad-mech is a neat idea, and gives them an excuse to fight anybody

I love the Librarian's pose and the extra apparatus on his back. The "techmarine" is very thematic!

Thanks guys!
It sure is, though it's got some extra gubbins from other kits slapped on. And the lascannons are from Puppets War.
I got through my five man Blade(taser?)Guard squad. Obviously the blinged out stock versions weren't going to fit with my army's clean sci-fi theme, so I went for a pretty straightforward "breaching team" look instead. The shields are from the Necromunda Subjugator kit and worked out perfectly.

Those are awesome man, really.
And the way you've gotten the rims to fit seamlessly to the marine torsos is excellent! Bravo.

Excellent Excellent work. The whole army has such character and the lore is Excellent as well! I particularly love the doctpus and Mr. Handy. Keep up the great work.

The helmets actually come with pewter collars they fit into, so it's not actually too much hassle. I just have to cut off the existing gorget on the armour and sometimes trim down the cableing on the side of the pewter collar (the starterset intercessors with attached shoulderpads are a tight fit)

Dread looks great, and it really fits perfectly with the rest of the army. Cannot wait to see some gunship or speeder conversion!

Well that's just fantastic!
And as you mentioned, I do love it when random bits from other kits just fit with little effort. Saves time and somehow makes you feel like you did something clever (maybe that's just me)
That KO dome just fitting on the Redempter body feels like when I put a Magmadroth head on a Trygon. May have clipped a bit here and there, but I really thought it would take ages to make it look right!

That dread is fantastic! It reminds me a little of Mike Wazowski, or a Beholder.

These bubble heads look absolutely amazing! Very unique with one of their most key features replaced, yet instantly recognizable as Space Marines. Exalted.

You've just made a much cooler version of an AdMech Kastelan Robot! Much more imposing scale. Superb
All in all, this is such a piece of work, one of the coolest Primaris armies ever

What a unique concept. Ive seen bubble marines before but never so well implemented.
You paint jobs are stunning and the robot helpers are great conversions.
Brilliant stuff.

These are all raddd. Especially like the pred turret swap for the repulsor. I'll have to keep that one in my back pocket for a future conversion.
