Relictors Chapter Space Marines - Dreadnought Drop Pod

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. A rather wonderful item scratchbuilt by my mate Goddenzilla (Kaiju County Blog) had this lying around and when I bought 18 Dreadnoughts from him, he also offered up a scratchbuilt Dreadnought Drop Pod! 

Size wise its perfect for my many Castraferrum 'boxnoughts' and even Contemptor Dreadnoughts.

I painted it to match my many Space Marine Drop Pods and based to match my own armies, its a great piece of hardware or terrain. Constructed mainly from plasticard, Goddenzilla has done a superb job recreating the Forge World Dreadnought Drop Pod!

Hazard stripes so they don't charge out and trip over!

Thanks Goddenzilla.

Relictors Chapter Space Marines - Terminator Chaplain w/ Storm Shield

Hello all, thanks for dropping by. After a summer of Titans it seems, a return to my Relictors was needed. The newest version of Terminator Chaplain with a Crozius Arcanum and a Storm Shield, hopefully quite durable!

A lot of detail on the Storm Shield, luckily it could be painted in sub-assemblies and glued together after painting.

I chose Chapter colours for the right grey Pauldron rather than keep pauldrons black. Links to the mainly grey armoured Chapter scheme.

A beefy Crozius Arcanum, with a lot of gold bling and trim. And every Chaplain loves litanies on oaths of moment and purity seals!

I love the skull faced visage, similar to the original metal Terminator Chaplain sculpt of the 1990's.

Squaduary 2026 - COMPLETED - Relictors Chapter Primaris Intercessors

Well, thats another Squaduary February hobby challenge for myself wrapped up. A successful month with a Titan Walk, some titan weapons and more importantly, a Squad of Primaris Intercessors which were languishing around since the release of First Strike boxed game back at the start of Primaris releases!

I removed the Sergeant helmet from the waistband, and added pouches in its place, added a disc to raise the helmet slightly and painted in codex compliant Red to denote his rank.

These two identical Marines (First Strike sprue had 3 different marines only) have had a Reiver arm replacement with combat blade and scabbard, whilst the Auspex holding Marine is box standard. Head placement direction also makes a difference.

These two identical Marines have had different head placement, and a few changes to Purity Seals. Removing one from a Pauldron, adding once to the waist and Bolt Rifle.

Another Primaris Intercessor 5-man Squad to add to the extensive Relictors Battle Companies, and 5 less Marines on the to-do mountain!

Thanks for dropping by, cheers, Siph (5pts)

Relictors Chapter Primaris Space Marines - Gravis Captain

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. This week's addition to the vast Relictors Battle Companies is a character to lead the fledgling Primaris contingent, a Gravis Captain. This is also from the initial release of Primaris Marines way back with the "Dark Imperium" starter set.

Primaris Gravis Armour is a heavy-duty, thick-plated suit of power armour for Primaris Space Marines, designed for frontline, close-quarters combat, offering superior protection over standard Tacticus armor but slightly less than Terminator armour, excelling at holding ground with heavy firepower and resilience, featuring large power plants, chunky designs, and often used by elite units.

I added a tactical rock underfoot, and the sword is a replacement as I did model him with a power scythe at first for a now abandoned Emperor's Scythes force...

The cloak is Karak Stone layered with Ushabti Bone, washed Sepia and highlighted Ushabti Bone. Gives a dirty cotton look.

Not sure what to add next from my Primaris forces, maybe a squad for the annual Squaduary event next month? Maybe Infernus Marines, or looong overdue First Strike minis...

Anyone else participating this old blogger tradition?

Relictors Chapter Space Marines - Primaris Inceptor Squad

Hello all, thanks for dropping by, this week's addition to the mighty Relictors Battle Companies are a squad of Primaris Inceptors armed with Assault Bolters. They were from the initial Primaris release box set "Dark Imperium" a while back! About time I got them finished!

Inceptors fill the role of spearhead troops. They hit the enemy in one sudden and overwhelming blow, leaving them reeling as follow-up waves of Space Marines drive home the attack. Equipped with jump packs and reinforced armour, Inceptors can be dropped from the very edge of a planet’s atmospheric envelope, weaving and twisting through the skies before slamming down into the enemy’s midst

I used metal pin into the foot to mount them on the base as the flying stands are awful and flimsy and put them at a sitting backwards baby-stroller pose, so I chose a more upright pose, coming into land.

And the Sergeant with red helmet, but now thinking a red flash on the outer helmet should be added as when re-entering the atmosphere they have a visor closed. 

Jumpy Dudes, as Winters SEO says...

Relictors Chapter Space Marines - Primaris Hellblasters

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. Long overdue from the Dark Imperium box set, the initial release of Primaris Marines comes the squad of Hellblasters, finally...

These are push fit sculpts, simple 3 designs with differing head direction to make different poses. I opted to paint one of the twin-sculpts as the Sergeant to make them different from the identical twin, using a helmet with a skull motif from the bits box.

Two Hellblaster troopers, not shown is the squad marking on roundel of the Backpack rear.

And their other troopers, 'side skull' Relictors emblem from Fallout Hobbies

And a Sergeant with Index Astartes compliant red helmet and kneepad identifying him as 19th Squad, Devastators Squad.

Relictors Space Marine Chapter - Heavy Intercessor Squad

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. Here is my latest offering for the paint gods. I finally got around to doing the Heavy Intercessors from Strike Force Agastus box set.

The Sergeant with regulation red helmet. My Primaris reinforcements are more regulation than the MkVII 'firstborn' forces I have. Less ornamentation and standard look over the occasional spikes and shiny gubbins the MK7 range had.

I chose drum magazines for all the Heavy Bolt Rifles, in game you can vary what sort of Heavy Bolt Rifle these are between longer range 'sniper' Executor type, standard or assault type 'Hellstorm Bolt Rifle'.

Gravis Armour makes the Primaris Marine 3 Wounds, 3+ save and Toughness 5 making these more survivable and resilient. Gravis Armour is a heavy variant of Primaris Space Marine Mark X Tacticus power armour designed for extreme close-quarters combat and direct assault, sacrificing some mobility for enhanced protection, heavier weaponry, and increased durability comparable to Terminator armour. Though more difficult to produce than standard power armour, it's easier to manufacture and repair than Terminator armour.

Here is the whole Squad, I chose just Heavy Bolt Rifles without a Heavy Bolter option.

Relictors Space Marine Chapter - Castraferrum Dreadnought #23

Thanks for dropping by. This week's addition, another Castraferrum Dreadnought is added to the Relictors Battle Companies, this one is the original metal version with Lascannon and Missile Launcher. My mate Goddenzilla who I purchased it from had converted the front glacis plate to make different from the stock model.

This is now the 16th of many Dreadnought reinforcements I bought from Goddenzilla at Kaiju Country blog. Still 3 more to go. Eventually as they are all updated, they will join my extensive Battle Companies, and as the title says the 23rd of my Relictors Castraferrum Dreadnought varieties! (38th of all Dreadnought Classes and Armies - incl. Grey Knights and Custodes) !!

This will join my 4th Company, the smaller of the two Battle Companies, and displays the company number on a field of green company colour from Index Astartes.

The base is an unusual one for me, a plastic moulded base with Aeldari wreckage and wraithbone 'concrete' detail. I added sand and gravel to match my others.

Also sporting the newer 'side-skull' Relictors badge from Fallout Hobbies.

As was received from Goddenzilla, now repainted.

Thanks Goddenzilla! Cheers, Siph (5pts)

Relictors Chapter Space Marines - Primaris Lieutenant w/ Power Fist

Hello All, thanks for dropping by. Another Primaris reinforcement for my Relictors Chapter Space Marines, another Primaris Lieutenant... yes I know, feed the meme, moar Lieutenants!

I didn't quite like the Powerfist this one came with, so I swapped it for a relic Forge World resin one, and head swapped to a 3rd Party crested helm with laurels.

Here are the four so far, in true meme style I have more Lieutenants to do. The others already completed can be found here: Lt with Power Sword; Lt with Assault Bolt Rifle; and Lt Amulius

Relictors Space Marine Chapter - Castraferrum Venerable Dreadnought #22

Thanks for dropping by. This week's addition, another Castraferrum Dreadnought is added to the Relictors Battle Companies, this one is the push-fit  Dreadnought from the Assault on Black Reach starter boxset, armed with Multi-Melta and Dreadnought CCW with Storm Bolter. My mate Goddenzilla who I purchased it from had converted the front glacis plate to make different from the stock model.

This is now the 15th of many Dreadnought reinforcements I bought from Goddenzilla at Kaiju Country blog. Still 4 more to go. Eventually as they are all updated, they will join my extensive Battle Companies.

I added the spiked halo like my original dreadnoughts from 2009, added some extended exhausts using gun barrels, and a loin cloth from the Chaos Daemon Prince to add more Relictor-ness. A few chains and spikes were also added.

A few bits from Venerable Dreadnought kits adds more flavour and a new side-skull decal from Fallout Hobbies as the Relictors Chapter emblem.
