It has been a long time since I have updated and really had no interest outside of Stormtrooper company but outside of Terminators and  Sisters of Battle, tanks are my next favorite thing about 40k.  When it comes to 30k, so much more stuff has me interested. Almost to the point I'm not really into 40k at all. 

 

Horus Heresy Projects:

  • XIVth Legion -Death Guard - 9th Company "Reapers of Souls"- On hold, other HH projects taking precedent. 
    • Knight House Makabius- Death Guard Knight House Allies. Stalled with Death Guard Project.
  • XIXth Legion- Raven Guard- Multiple Companies- 707th Expeditionary Fleet- In Progress, huge army.
    • Sisters of Silence- Was always planned as Allies for Raven Guard, slowed due to reduction on units (for now) available.
  • Legiones Auxilia- Therion Velites-  Was going to be an Allied to Raven Guard but that has spiraled out of control. I want to do my Velites armored Company but I think I will be mechanized vanguard heavy.  I will probably still do it as armored company.
    • XIXth Legion- Allied Raven Guard Recon Company Led by Overseer and Vigilator, consists of sabre tanks, Recon Squads and Mor Dethyan. 

Some upgrades coming for my Therion Velites

Really like the tank customisations! Like you I find them a really fascinating subject, and one thing that has always been missing from official kits is accessories & stowage!

If you look at WW2 (or even modern) tanks they are usually covered in supplies, replacement track pieces/wheels, especially when moving between war zones. So have always found 40k (and 30k) tanks very bare-looking. So really cool to see this sort of thing!

I agree 100% never enough gear on tanks especially Solar Auxilia/ Astra Militarum. Adeptus Astartes and for the most part Adepta Sororitas I get, with the rapid deployment and their tactics would not be loaded with gear. Unless you are Raptors Chapters than Camo and Gear up.  Like I did for this Predator For my Raptors a few years ago

I am planning on gearing up my Solar Auxila Tanks with stowage, sandbags, camo netting, comms, fuel cans, to give them a lived in feel.  I have decided not to do Therion Velites for my Solar Auxilia but doing them as the Tallarn Reborn

My Infantry will probably be done up in either grey, tans, browns schemes. 

 

My League game has been delayed until next Friday.

Need to do Metallics on Weapons, the bases then washes, highlights, glows, and decals on the assault marines. Centurion needs his base done and decals. 

Would love to say I painted today….but I didn’t. 
Would love to say I started to build my Solar Auxilia Armored company…but I didn’t. 
 

But I did start building a Praetor…for the VIth Legion….

Saturnine Praetor! 

Well, weekend has come and gone and I have 4 days until my league game, Friday which is the last day we can play. So I have to have models done and story read to go. My Pre order of HH stuff was been delayed so I should be able to pick up Friday hopefully during my league game.  

 

Raven Guard

 

 

 

What did I get done.....not much

 

large.IMG_6200.jpeg.a7e027b18f8a9c57cf9674ea302005c2.jpeg

 

First 5 need grey on bases and next 5 are getting browns and metals done.

 

Need to do all 11 bases, Decals, and weathering in 4 days and one of those days I won't be home. :wacko:

 

Space Wolves

 

So more building was done on my Space Wolves Praetor.  I am almost to the "Fur Sculpting Phase" for him. This would include gap filling some of the other spots (Belt, Knee, beard on neck collar of suit, and necklace)

He's so massive...:drool:

 

The plan for my other Space Wolves Characters:

  •  Mk2 Praetor/ Ulrik the Slayer- Speaker of the Dead
  • Mk6 Axe Praetor/ Wolf Guard Battle Leader- Centurion
  • Mk6 Praetor/ Njal Stormcaller- Castor of Runes

Solar Auxilia

 

No Updates

 

 

 

2 more day until the League game.  No or little hobby time today, as I have to drive around one of the kids right after work and wont be home for a few hours. I was able to finish metallics, browns, and put base coat of grey on basing.  Once dried I gave them an all over wash dark wash. After dinner I was able to gloss coat the shoulder pads for Raven Guard Logo Decal and spots for the Raptor Imperialis and Assault marking decals.  Once that is done, I'll apply the drybrush to bases, matt coat, and then weather the models.

My 1000 pt Raven Guard

Seekers, Praetor (Corvid Jump pack Ravens claws), Assault Squad (Master Sgt with Lightning Claws, 2 plasma pistols, and 2 power mauls), Centurion (Corvid Jump pack Ravens claws), Assault Squad (Lightning claws, 2 power mauls), and Sicaran

 

I have my next league game Friday and I am adding 10 Dark Furys and 5 Destroyer Assault Squad.
