Heraclite's Hobby Thread

[Heraclite]

I received the old ancient yesterday and just had to complete the terminator ancient. Most of the details on the banner were filed away with a Dremel to leave room for a freehand of my first company emblem already featured on my terminator captain which is the emblem of the french first regiment of cuirassiers 

 

 

The donor ancient was then turned into a regular intercessor with auxiliary grenade launcher 

 

The bolt rifle is the one removed from the armageddon sergeant with a bit of plastic surgery involving the grenade launcher part taken from the regular intercessor kit. It's not seamless (it's actually cleaner on the hidden side...) but once painted should look just fine

The combat patrol magazine is great in that regard as it supplies me with a lot of different projects to switch to if I ever get bored of my marines.

 

I kind of regret that Combat Patrol isn't available in Poland. I think I would've loved to subscribe. It seems decently priced and offers a nice variety of minis.

I miss the times that we had banners without sculpted heraldry. Removing these and attempting to get a flat surface is a pain in the neck.

And this guy is great. Looking at him, he gives off some serious Space Marine 2 vibes - I immediately think of the the animation when squad members shout "For the Emperor" during an Operation. I wouldn't worry too much about the slightly messy bit - as you said, it should be fine with some paint on. Alternatively, you can try using some putty to fix it but I'd say it's not worth the extra effort.

I haven’t subscribed to the magazine but I always have 3 projects on the go at a time!

Nice kitbash there! that banner will be something! I love doing a bit of freehand, but sometimes with GW models, its so hard to find the space to do it.
