@Malika I feel like some dozer blade or similar options for tanks that don't have them could be cool for various tanks in the same way they are at 28mm. The kratos are one of the few until recently that come with dozer blades.

Do you play 30k? It'd be a lot cooler if you did.

Just been down to pick up me Spartans and Cards. Also added a third box of Legion Support
Once I can get my hands on another Infantry set, I should be able to field fairly three fairly chunky Detachments (Demi Company, Garrison and Armoured Company).
In two minds on the Spartans though, armament wise. Between the Quad Lascannons and Laser Destroyers are 7” of range, and an extra pip of AP.
High AP is nice of course. But not if I rarely find myself in range to make use of it.
Hmmm.

Be very very careful when clipping the Lascannon arrays off your sprue, folks. I knackered one of the barrels good and proper.
Second build I started the clipping at the business end of the barrel, which worked much better.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Oooh! Nifty!
Each Spartan sprue has a two pintel Multi-Meltas. Which solves one scarcity problem for Rhinos.

Fed up of Scalpers? But still want your Exclusives? Why not join us?
Quick and rough paintjob on the Hierodule because I'm too lazy to take the time to make him look good...
Sneaky Alpha Legion for scale! (not sure why I chose this model to show scale given that it's also 3D printed and about 5-10% bigger than GW's models ).

But yeah, flesh is just a wash of agrax over white primer, the carapace is just 2 or 3 layers of contrast/speed paint over white. But the result isn’t terrible for a couple of hours work I guess.
I think my problem with it is that the blue came out a bit too blue, need to be greyed down as I think it's makes it look smaller than it is.
This maybe gives a better idea of scale:

Think thats a great colour combination Skink, the blue looks beautiful (if you're allowed to say that about such a beast!)
I've finished off some Terminators for my Night Lords. Went with the Vanguard Miniatures Renegade heavy armour guys, as firstly I've not been able to get hold of the official ones, but also thought these suited the character of the NL a bit better as a bit less 'clean cut' looking. I removed some of the spikey bits to tone them down a little bit.
My Death Guard gave the Iron Warriors a thorough trouncing, trampling them into the dust of the city crumbling around them. As is a time-honoured tradition in Epic, things are getting wild when the skies start raining Thunderhawks full of terminators
I have already said on another forum, but there is a strong possibility that the Quran was mistanslated from ancient Arabic, and what actually awaits us in heaven is the table of SherryPie's above
Somewhat smaller in scope, here are some air support that I am using as 'counts as' Xiphon Interceptors. These are Renegade Interceptor minis from Vanguard Miniatures - I thought the style of these fitted better with the Night Lords than the official mini, as being a bit more Edge-Lord
Love it, will it have the ability to have external bomb payloads? Even just being able to alternate missile/bomb loads would be awesome. If possible some subtle or smallish turrets, possibly underslung, that look like their traverse could be rear, or just some rear facing weaponry.
Reason being, they'd be great count as solar aux bombers/fighters for LI.
