So, it's been a few weeks since my last update but I've got a couple of bits I can show off!

Firstly, the Marines Adamant vehicles are built:

As mentioned previously, the Sicaran is a Gladiator Lancer for rules - I'm assuming the heavy bolters are loaded with Metal Storm ammo to represent the lower strength and higher number of shots of storm bolters/stubber. And the havoc launcher makes for a nice Icarus rocket pod!

The Deimos is a standard Annihilator with HK launcher without any need for quibbling over guns, the dozer blade is an old IG one - I just prefer the look of it.

You might notice they're both on bases - I'm not a tournament player, and I like how a matching base ties a vehicle in with the rest of an army. Plus that extra mm or 2 of height makes the tank more imposing next to infantry! The Knight oval base is just right for the Sicaran, and the slightly smaller 120x92 is perfect for rhino chassis (with the dozer overhanging a touch, but I think that works?)

Anyway, they are both ready for undercoating, although who knows when that will actually happen… I'm UK based, and we're into September, so we may not get a dry day at 18-20 degrees C for another 6 months or so! 

However, I've got plenty of infantry to paint so that's fine. The second squad of counts-as Grey Hunters has most of their base layers on, so progress is being made. No pics of this, they can wait until they're done!

One other thing I'm working on, that I've been meaning to try for years, is scratch building some bits for what will be my 2 Iron Wyrds (Iron Priests). This is what I've got so far:

The claw is made from leftover fingers from a Contemptor dread, but the main structure is plasticard tubes and rods. Really pleased with how the various greebling brings the basic shapes together!

Anyway, that's it for today, C+C are always welcome!
