Genestealer Cult - Brood Brother Heavy Weapons Squad - WIP

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. A random departure from what I was intending to paint, but oh well, paint when you want and enjoy it I say. Got an eBay rescue squad of Heavy Weapons in a similar scheme, even had same squad number as my original Brood Brothers Squad, however wrong shoulder and wrong shade of red armour - so repaint initiated!
As can be seen in the photo, I kept the fatigues, everything else was repainted and I even drilled the Lascannon barrel and added some basing material where it was thinning.
The camouflage fatigues were the only thing to stay, I repainted the armour and metals and base and everything really - but it was a good price for three Lascannon Teams and some Mortar Teams too.
Added a Cult Knife to the Brood Brother to make less Imperial Guard and more tainted. The shoulder flashes were given a new squad/company number from my foot troops and the other shoulder a cult insignia where there should be an Aquila.
A nice little addition to the insidious Cult, two more bases to go.
Whilst I was at it I looked in the Codex and saw that the Brood Brothers as well as a Heavy Weapons Team attached could have 2 special weapons, and my Original Squad only had a single Flamer, so I wrenched off this chaps arms and added a Flamer from my Bitz...
The scheme was easy to replicate
Sometimes you just have to paint what you want... not the to-do pile scheduled Custodes...

Cheers, Siph

Deathwatch WIP

 Afternoon All,

Work is getting in the way of a full post, thus here is a quick post of my current WIP for the Deathwatch force. These have had 3D printed shoulder pads added to add more character to the units. I've also had to hack some of the original guards out to allow the Deathwatch left pauldron. 








Thanks for popping by! LH

Imperial Knights - Vassal Knights of Legio Astorum - Knight Errant

Hello Readers, thanks for dropping by. I've added another Imperial Knight to my Vassal Knights of Legio Astorum, this one is Lady Natanya riding Questoris Errant "Gloria Fury". An Errant class Questoris chasis armed with Thermal Cannon, Reaper Chainsword and a Heavy Stubber. My first Vassal Knight Errant, the other two Errant's are a Freeblade (Gerantius) and a Custodes Indetured Knight.
The Vassal Knights of Legio Astorum have a blue and gold livery similar to their Legio Astorum Titans, an adapted scheme from the Terryn Knights scheme, the yellow head of the Titans is reflected in armour panels and head.
The right shoulder Pauldron has the personal heraldry of the Knight Scion, this one being Lady Natanya, who has risen up from the ranks of Armigers to pilot a Questoris. 
I add some slate chips to the bases of large models to add interest and some nice weight for better centre of gravity too. The reactor housing has the characteristic brass casing found on all my Knights and the rear shoulder Pauldrons display their allegiance to the Imperium.
That's now 18 Knights and Armigers... still have an entire box of Renegade to start and that Knight Preceptor to complete...

Knight Seneschal: High King Lucius Darius riding Dominus Castellan 'Adamant Wrath'
Knight Baron: Baron Tybalt riding Questoris Warden 'Triumphal'

Chaos Altar Terrain - complete!

Hello All,

A few weeks has past since my last post.. sorry! There will be a battle rep post soon, Me and Siph caught up for a ding donger of a battle! 

Up this week is a completed terrain piece - the Chaos Altar, this piece I've had for ages, thus I wanted to get this off my pile of shame!

I've based this with a grey primer, then several coats of 2 diffeent brown sprays, then added some colour to highlight the skulls. 

The entire piece was then washed in Agrax to add some depth, then some blood for the blood god around the Chaos Icon. 

Happy with the results, and the piece looks good with the infamous Daemon Princess monument!

 

 Thanks for Stopping by! LH (5pts)
