Currently working on my Primaris Librarian - same as Ishagu, I'll post pictures once he's done. Should be in about 2 weeks, I guess. Just need to finish the force sword, face and base. But current temperatures let the paint dry on the brushtip, before I can even touch the model with it.

Neverending: Dude! Pure awesome! I love these from the conversion work to the paint job!

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

Those are the best smurfs I’ve seen in a long time !

[mel_danes]

So I'm blending Multipart kits with the Indomitus box, I've got 2 sets of the Primaris half to work with. Having bought a set of Eradicators I wanted to use the MM, but not eat one of the bodies in the box. So enter snap fit Eradicator. I picked the wrong base body, which caused problems but he turned out all right.

Used the heavy pauldrons from the Aggressor kit, and a blast shield from the Inceptors to add additional bulk.

He is a beefy dude.

I'll have 9 Eradicators built, then on to 10 Heavy Intercessors. Combined with my Gravis Cpt, 7 Inceptors, 6 Agressors I'll be well on my way to the Gravis Wall.

Good times.

So aside from mounting a base on this (which I'm working on, simply for consistency's sake), drilling out a few bolters and an Ultramarine logo on a pauldron, converting this bad boy is done.  I based their helmets off of the pre heresy Ultras helmets and historical roman cavalry helms, suggested by grailkeeper in my WIP Plog. Any thoughts?

Very noice ! Love the work on the driver’s helmet.

[Captain Idaho]

Cor you don't muck about mate. That's stunning.

[space wolf]

finished it up...More on my plog in the WIP forum

 

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

Well done - reminds me of a Roman chariot.

latest intercessor centurion

 

[Redrandy93]

Well done everyone.  Wish i could paint as well as many of you folks.     Oh well I finally went back and did my standard bearers for the UM 4th and 5th companies.     I just have to add ammo pouches, grenades and pistol holsters.     Then work on Veteran sgt. for each command squad and the Chaplains.  I also will finally build and paint Uriel Ventris  for the 4th company.   

A question for the group,  are folks putting banners on the sgts these days?   

[space wolf]

I'm obviously not, but I do like the old school asthetic. Reminds me of when I first started playing 40k

[space wolf]

And now for a little teaser, I'm like 90% done with converting this latest project.  I promise I'll get images up as soon as I take them.  In the mean time....

 

The War Lion

Covered in the effigy of his namesake,

He strode atop the dusty mire.

Every footstep an earthquake,

The fate of his foes, truly dire.

 

None dare seek to challenge him,

peerless, his fighting ability.

The adversary's sight grows dim,

As his roar rages with finality.

 

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

OOOOOOOOH SNAP !!!!!!

Brother Agrippa -- The Lion of Nemia

 

 

Dropped behind enemy lines, Ultramarine Eliminators specialize in assassinating enemy generals and key personnel, without being spotted.  Such missions were routine for Brother Agrippa, until he and Squad Festuca (Splinter) dropped onto Heracles Prime.  A feudal agriworld, Heracles Prime held no strategic value.  The orks in the system had been slowly amassing, the infant steps before an inevitable WAAAAAGH! would be formed.  Their first conquest would have been Heracles Prime, which would allow the orks to gain momentum, and their leader to consolidate his hold over the fractious greenskins. The Ultramarines of The Aquilla Umbra, would not allow that to happen.

 

Festuca was tasked with inserting onto the eastern end of the Brachium subcontinent: whereby they would elimate the ork Warboss (Boss Skaggrak); while the rest of The Umbra’s forces engaged the greenskins from the western end.  This would allow for the remaining ork forces to be mopped up as they fall to leaderless infighting.  Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan.  Unbeknownst to them, Festuca’s drop insertion was picked up by an unusually sophisticated ork AA detection grid.  When the dust had cleared, and Festuca had hit planetside, only Agrippa was alive.   To make matters worse, all communications seemed to be cut off.

 

Agrippa made his way westward, hoping to make his way through enemy lines, perhaps complete his mission, and link back up with his brothers in the west…he would never make it.  As it happened, he came upon one last holdout city.  The town was located on an island in the middle of the wide, Anguis River.  A trading hub for the entire subcontinent, the town was called Nemia.  The local townsfolk, had managed to stave off the green tide advance through a little luck, a lot of bravery, and natural topography of their location.  But they were losing, and they knew it.

 

Agrippa vowed to do what he could to help these people.  For a score of days he harried the ork forces around the town.  Picking off Nobs with a single shot, from the Ecclesiarchal bell tower, or setting off improvised explosives on the roads near the river to ambush ork supply vehicles.  By day two, he was out of ammunition for his rifle, and had over three hundred notches on his barrel.  By day twelve, almost a thousand greenskins lay dead on the banks of the Anguis, due to IED’s or Agrippa’s sharpshooter’s eye.  By day twenty, Skaggrak dedicated a full quarter of his forces to level the town, and ease the pressure on his supply chains.

 

More than three thousand orks stood on the banks of the river, bracketing the town.  Low on ammunition (even for the boltgun, that he had requisitioned from the Nemian Armory) Agrippa knew the Nemian defenders would need to make every shot count.  During the night, the defenders opened the gates to the westward bridge, and left it clear.  Seeking to take advantage of the “Humee’s stupidity,” the green tide swept forward…into a bottleneck.  There, each bolter round could take the head of at least three orks.  Agrippa, and a few defenders, led a slow retreat into the center of the city.  Retreating from defensive position to defensive position, Agrippa and the defenders punished the orks, mercilessly, for every meter of Nemian soil they trod on.  By day break, the rest of the Ultramarines arrived.  The war was over.  Skaggrak’s forces had been crushed, and the forces of the Umbra, had heard the tales of the little city that refused to fall. 

 

When they arrived at Nemia, they saw a hellscape.  The majority of the town’s non-combatants had been sequestered in the Munistorum fortress in the center of the city.  Nemia’s defenders were dead: only the lucky few who were chosen to be the last line inside the fortress had survived.  What remained of the Orks forces had fled, back across the river only to be mopped up by the advancing forces of the XIIIth.  The streets were stained with the brackish green fluid of ork blood. Piles of corpses littered the winding narrow streets, toward the city center.  At the center, in the town square, in front of the Munistorum building, was the largest pile of all.  And atop it was Agrippa, critically injured.  His armor cracked, his left arm gone, and the right half of his face torn away, he was no longer breathing. 

 

The Nemian’s cheered as they saw their saviors arrive.  Calls of “LEO, LEO, LEO, LEO,” could be heard from the rooftops of the Munistorum building.  The Sons of Guilleman, didn’t understand the purpose of these cheers, until they were greeted by the Mayor.  He told them, of the battle, and how it was Agrippa, who had fought like a lion, and rallied them to win the battle. The Apothecary, Brother Malcus, did what he could, to stabilize Agrippa, but he knew he would not recover.  There was only one way to keep a fighter such as this, alive.

Well, I'm pretty satisfied with this guy. I admit, in the photos, when looking at the Gatling Cannon, the greenstuff transition, isn't soooo smooth.  I didn't really notice it with the naked eye...but you know how pics can be, lol. Anyway I had to revisit Atullus, (and make him "fancier") so that he would fit well right next to this guy.  What do you guys think?  C&C Welcome, Thanks for stopping by.

[BLACK BLΠFLY]

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!!!!!!!

 

Now that I am older projects like these are what I enjoy the most about our hobby.

[space wolf]

Thank you brother. Your kind words humble me.

[mel_danes]

Space Wolf you amaze me.

This conversion is wonderful.

So much visual flavor, storied tales of valor gloriously rendered on every surface.

I fail in my duty in that I can only thumb up your post once.

[space wolf]

Wow! Thank you so much! Im actually blushing, lol. Thank you sir.

[space wolf]

Posted this on my Plog, but I figured you guys would be interested in this...

 

It's been about 10 months since I've started this project....and here is what I have to show for it.  About 2600 points.
