greatcrusade08 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Hi guys, i used to be a frequent poster a couple years ago, then largely left 40k, but im back with a new project, and not a scout in sight this time. heres my current progress. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/sm1_zpsiat9hyg2.jpg http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/sm2_zpshoybbxb0.jpg my tactical sergeant, i used the upgrade pack from GW and am very impressed with the parts. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/sm1_zpsxrqqjhkm.jpg I need to source a decent head for Cassius, its the deathwatch mini with a different shoulder pad. Not sure if the old cassius head is available on bits sites, but will settle for a suitably mangled face/head if anyone has any suggestions? http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/sm2_zpsqee12rbk.jpg im using sculpey for my bases, a £2 block from ebay (free p+p) has made 35 bases, roll it out bake it and snap bits off. Im very impressed with it. http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww87/greatcrusade08/sm1_zpsjqx1lmvz.jpg My finished tactical squad. as always C+C welcome, i am very happy with the new base sizes, works really well for SMs, worry about IG or tau getting lost on their bases, but time will tell.

Jonny Roxtar Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 The Sculpey is a great idea for bases and the Tacticals look great too. Id go down the sternguard for tacticals route myself if i didnt have like a million spare normal ones. Love the upgrade sprue bts too, they are a must have.

Soric Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Looking good so far mate. If you want a suggestion for a suitable head for Cassius you could always try the older tactical bionic head. You'll probably be able to find one of these easily enough. http://www.inhumanbitzbox.com/images/cache/SM_UP_02_450x450.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrotherCaptainArkhan Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Great depth of blue there. Also like the NMM gold. Really cool XIII Legion ( ;) ) warrior, love the basing effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notts Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 I didn't even notice the gold was NMM! it's the best NMM i've seen. Great blue as well, and great freehand on the base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Roxtar Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Awesome Ultras the sternguard models suit the overall look of any Ultramarine and your painting does them justice, more than that they look sublime.Cant wait to see this army grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
