Melee done.
3 Broods, 15 Warriors total.
Now to get them primed.
When I built my Primes I wanted them to be mini Tyrants. I added ankle claws to show the connection.
Little conversions like these really make an army unique.

Getting some work done on individual miniatures now. Built the squad last summer, painting them now.
Not going to win any awards, but it's fun.
Lots of custom printed parts here.

Tournament Buildings done. They're not going to win me painting awards, but it beats the hell out of MDF wood color.
I need to finish up the scatter terrain, then I'll truly be finished.
It's been a rewarding project, and I've never completed a good set of terrain before.

It's got pedigree but the limited number of episodes hurt its impact.
It felt like they wrapped up with the intent we now have the teams backstory, let's tell the actual story.
Like a really long setup for a show we don't have yet.
Good music and fights.
Needed more time.

6x4 under 2" scatter terrain.
I made 6 of them, for some variety.
One step closer to the 2025 Tournament Table.

Terrain is getting built.
Test color scheme. I wanted something not grey, so it stands out.
The interior will be grey, so color outside, grey inside. Easy to tell what you're looking at.
No wash here, just a base coat. It will get washed and a light dry brush.

After waiting 30 years, we finally have plastic Noise Marines!
This kit is great!
I don't need an entire force, this squad finishes the squads aligned to the major #chaosgods
Plague Marines
Khorne Berserkers
Rubric Marines

WarLayer: Titanic Terrain
We just unlocked a whole new series of walls, so the part count just got nuts.
If you play in the Grim Dark Future this set is a must have.
Head over to Kickstarter, search for the above.
I need more filament.

Finally got the Brutalis built.
Come at me bro!
Talons have a better profile, but I can't let wrist mounted boltrifles go, to cool.
Used Storm Shields on the shoulder armor, both sides.
He still needs purity seals applied.
Here he is with his brothers.

Company Heros (Repurposed)
Built a companion Lt. to go with the squad. Waiting on eBay for the Ancient, he'll get here Monday.
Then Veteran Eradicators, I use no helmet heads on my Gravis Vets.
Hoping to prime this group Sunday.

AC Data Book, another added to the collection.
The design language of this series has left an indelible mark on my mech preferences.
I might finally stop looking for AC art books.

Assume bespoke unit, no customization.
Baking Workflow vs FWN ?
Texture set per location, with mirroring?

What's cooler than a Helbrute? How about 3 of them.
Pack complete.
Each will have a god aligned squad to support.
Meta busting, nope.
Cool, yep.

Now for something completely different.
Just banged out the Dark Apostle.
He's got two subtle conversions. Head swap, cake. I like helmets on Heretics.
Second cursed crozius head from the Apostle from the Dark Vengeance box set.

1775pt's Vanguard Spearhead
All but 10 scouts have the Phobos keyword.
Still need to base and prime the new recruits, it's winter here so that will wait.
I'm a narrative player, not a winning player. I love the idea of this force but have no delusions it will win.

Finished two squads of Reivers.
1 Melee with grapnel launchers.
1 Bolter Carbine with Grav-shutes.
Both led by Lieutenants.
It's not an optimal build, but it is thematic as hell.
