Made a few changes to our good friend Ivanus Enkomi...

I think I'll probably magnetise his left arm so he can count as a normal chaplain too.

First of all, there are so many awesome minis on this page.

 

And now, some of us will soon be starting a Tale of X hobbyist based on the Badab War. The general idea would be to have each member represent a single chapter, creating their own characters and story focusing on the smaller or lesser known engagements during the war (as in, making your own). We are looking for members interested and willing to start either a Mantis Warriors, Executioners or Lamenters force. If you are interested you can send a private message to men, Dosjetka or Stoneheart and we will add you to the chat we are having regarding the project so you can get some more information.

 

Sorry for hijacking the topic a bit ;)

Nothing too exciting here, just the initial work on a Tactical Squad; I made use of several shoulder pads from the Sternguard kit just to add a bit of extra detail. This is one of four Tactical Squads i'll be adding to my army in the near future. I'm intending to mix parts between a normal 40k squad and two of the Betrayal at Calth MKIV squads to add a bit of armour variety in to the army.

I live! After the announcement of BaC, I've fully shaken off my burnout and have come back around to working on some more of my 40k projects. I'll be starting in on my SoM Tactical squad again. Hopefully I can get some WiP pics up soon.

Whoops, got distracted by another unnecessary character model. This time it's a Badab crossover; my Minotaurs version of Pellas Mir'San! Still needs some work to fill in the U symbols on the helm crest and gladius, and the XX markings on his left kneepad, as well as adding a strap to the combi-flamer.

Halandaar, your cross over is very eye-catching! Cannot wait to see it completed.

 

Thanks! I had this bizarre notion of making my own version of every Space Marine named character there is (with rules at least) in case I ever wanted to play them. Pellas is a particular favourite!

 

In other news, reinforcements have arrived...

Yay! More or less finished my Tactical Squad; just need to tidy up the bases, touch up a couple of errant brush strokes and then apply decals. I haven't actually attempted to use decals before; any handy tips?

Then I can begin the fun task of cracking out some of the MKIV from the Calth boxes for my next squads. :)

And now, we are only looking for enthusiastic Mantis Warrior and Lamenter Frater smile.png

My 2k Mantis Warriors army is in progress currently.

Here's my Ahazra Redth, for a taste. Would you guys be interested in seeing more?

Yes, please.

Okay!

I have to apologize as it has been quite some time since I posted anything for my Astral Claws here. So I thought I would post the meager amount of work I have done and also ask for help.

 

Some time ago I drybrushed my minis to bring the metallic color back out and then more recently I found my backbone and picked up a brush once more. So far I have only done this *remember, I did say "meager amoung of work" just a paragraph ago.

What I want to ask is what color should paint the shields? I am thinking it will stay mostly metallic but I want some other color in there. I had painted blue but I quickly started to dislike it. I am wondering if black would look good? So any suggestions and examples would be greatly appreciated.

 

Also, what color should I do the base. I want something that will not blend in the with mini but would also look fitting for Badab Primis' surface. Any thoughts?
