I built 6 thalax

Honestly, it's simultaniously a great and horrendous kit. Which is hilariously fitting since that is the same in regards to capabilities and pts in the army on the field.

Family photo, minus two.

You may refer to me as Doctor Chipping

There are 15 done now







The evening sun wasn't kind to white balance, they're actually significantly warmer.

Got 5 to go but won't be able to finish them here as I ran out of the paint I use for soil and I can't put the shields on until bases are finished.

But, where's the warcrimes?
No Gas? Not Tox flamers? Why even play death guard without them?

Thanks for your concern! Here they are, bringing up the rear in the last batch

I am now pacified....

or was.

I just built 15 techthralls.... what an asinine kit. Thalax are already complex. Yet i yearn to build thalax compared to the realisation that i will need to build another 20 techthralls.

I haven't built anything in a while, and I needed to break the boredom of painting 15 Destroyers, so I've pulled out the Bitz Box and some Black Reach Marines I got in a bundle a while back to go back to the very beginning of my HH days.

Look upon my works, ye who have only known plastic Heresy kits and despair:

Spoiler:

I dunno, Gert - that looks pretty good to me. A whole unit like this would be cool.

Converted castelax. Does anybody know why GW decided to add in 6 possible arm poses, but not 2 of each weapon option?

Having returned home and replenished his paints at the FLGS, our hero finishes the full unit of 20 Breachers

The last two Tacticals are mostly done, sans boltgun casings.

Centurion. Worried this one might be a bit too 40k, since I used the Ennox Sorrlock body for it, but it's built and painted now so...

It's got robot parts and sculpted cogs, it's the dream base for a character conversion.

Went back and freehanded a cog on the shoulderpad.

Oh they are a handsome bunch of boys!

Just recently finished my Dark Age Fellblade, moved onto a Land Raider and proxy Sabre Tank

The other big 40k forum is doing their famous Call to Arms painting drive, so here are 3 Indomitus Terminators. Yes, I am ripping off the 7th Legion's IP. No, they have not successfully apprehended me. I will not be taking further questions at this time.

I printed a pair of Xiphons a fair while back but the wings came out warped, so today I decided to redo them, and I took the opportunity to add some poison emitters, as a treat.

Managed to kitbash and paint four Black Reach Tacticals to bulk out one of my IVth Legion Tactical squads. Need to wait til the new Mk2 comes out so I can pillage the kit for Bolters, helms and anything else that I can cram on the remaining models to get to the full 20.

Working on my now many Rapiers.

Rapier Carriers are a really nice design, and easy to put together. Just make sure you’ve got the armament pointing the right direction.

The Crew have a really interesting sprue full of all sorts of bits and gubbins, including holstered Boltguns (Tigrus pattern, going off the straight mags) and Bolt Pistols for each.

I would suggest nipping off the locator nubs on the torsos though. They prevent a free choice in arms. Or at least I couldn’t get the arms I used to line up properly.
