53rd Army Group

A very brief update (no photos sadly). I have primed and begun painting both my latest Kasrkin squad and the command squad from Cadia Stands, which will lead "B" Company (the veteran company). Progress pictures to follow shortly. I have also assembled another infantry squad for the 119th Steel Legion, though they are still in need of priming.

Using a leftover chimera chassis from the basilisk kit I have started a Command Salamander for the Cadian 223rd Artillery. It's early days but coming along well. The Sloped armour pieces are the top plates from the Leman Russ sponsons while the long pieces with the dip are the spare plates that come in every chimera chassis vehicle kit that sit on the back of the platform.

I have made some more progress on the Salamander Command vehicle:

The top heavy bolter is from the old heavy weapons squad while the hull heavy flamer is from the chimera chassis vehicles. 

 

The plasticard in the back is a platform so that the crew can access the heavy bolter.

Some more Krieg additions, I kitbashed a command squad out of the box.

And a Master of Ordnance:

These guys plus the earlier gun crew used up 8 of the 10 bodies so I still have two spare guardsmen, not sure what to do with them though.

A very brief update (The Old World has been taking most of my attention). 

 

I got some psykers and servitors stripped of their old paintjobs and ready for cleaning.

The psykers will be used as primaris psykers or astropaths as needed, I've not got enough to field the psyker battle squad. 

 

The gun servitors will be added to inquisitorial retinues while the tech servitors will accompany the enginseer.

A brief update, I have completed building the mini for Lord General Matthias Fischer, the commander of the 53rd Army Group:

Parts wise he is mostly the standard Castellan with the sheathed power sword from the Cadian Command Squad and the addition of a patrician cloak from Anvil Industry's regiments range. I just need to decide on a paint scheme and build a command squad to accompany him (possibly based on the rogue trader voidsmen).
