Well, after a long long pause I am at the insanity again.

Lets build something unreasonable!

Looks like the server ate my old account in the update but no matter.

My shotgun recon squad is now built. The deathwatch shotguns are a bit massive but at least you’ll be able to see who’s who.

Finished a sneaky little Vigilator for the Night Lords this morning. Now onto either some Recon or Terror troops.

It's part of the Vigilator mini from FW. 

Paintwise It's  eshin grey with a few layers slowly mixing in mechanicus grey before a touch of weathering powders.

Damn I thought it was a conversion you did :D good job bud

Adding another Vigilator to the pile... thoughts on heads? The hooded one is my favorite, but the Dawnbreaker head is growing on me - also might depend on whether I end up painting him as Blood Angels or Dark Angels (or Death Guard?)

[Corswain]

Definitely prefer the hood although the others might suit Blood Angels better.

I've been looking at the eliminator heavy sniper bolt rifles to use for a recon/Mor Deythan squad. Good to see the arms look like they fit almost perfectly to the firstborns.

[sarabando]

Working on some more 1ksons veterans lost the front end off one of my stubby missile launchers so I can't add the 2nd one I have :( 

[tinpact]

@Dont-Be-Haten Sort of - the Praetors are quite large compared to the rest of the models, and the Eliminators have some oddly sculpted parts on some of their parts from the cloaks. But they are very nice.

I just put the final washes on my Invictarii for my Logos Lectora list. 

Up next will be some Fulmentarus and Locutarus!

Let the pinning checks begin!

Finally got around to uploading the pictures to my imgur. I started Ultramarines with the Age of Darkness box

20 Tacticals:

 

Contemptor:

And a Fulmentarus Terminator:

 

This is what they look like presently (airbrushing here, Macragge Blue > Calgar Blue > Fenrisian Grey)

I didn't want to make a whole thread for this but I've noticed a lot of Dark Angels with red shoulder pads lately. Is there any background reason for this? At first I thought Firewing but most people would surely use Stormwing for Tac Squads.

[Warsmith Annüss]

Does anyone have a quick, simple way to make cataphractii terminators a little taller? 

Maybe a bit taller than the new MKVI?

Like a solid red shoulder pad? It''s just an aesthetic thing with 30k Dark Angels. Like how you see Ultramarines with a solidly white pad, Blood Angels with a black pad, etc.

Little bit of greenstuff in the gap in the torso maybe?

[WrathOfTheLion]

With no trim, might be more incentive to emphasize the red shoulderpad on MK VI armour.

Now, why didn't I think of that?

Plastic Card under the feet to look like broken flooring.

Red shoulder pads come from terra, green from caliban.

Spent about 2.5 hours magnetizing and posing my first contempor. Still not 100% on it though.
