Haven't really done much on the hobby front the past few weeks due to being bogged down with uni work, but have managed to finish off a squad of renegade Guardsmen from the Blackstone Fortress set after having them on my desk for over a year. Will possibly use these as cultists in my Night Lords kill team for the time being until I get the Rogue Psykers and Beastmen painted up to make them a legal team in their own right. 

 

I was also lucky on eBay and picked up some very cheap Forgeworld Aquilon Custodes that I'll be using to create some truescale NL termies. They're coming from Russia so it might be a while until they're done, so I'll have plenty of time to get the rest of the standard terror marines finished off. 

 

 

 

 

 

I also picked up this navigator mini from eBay, but am unsure of its origins. The mini itself is resin and had Games Workshop printed on the slotta tab but I can't find any others like it online, so if anyone has any idea of where it originally came from I'd be most grateful. 

 

The aquila at the top of the staff was missing a wing and needed replacing but it was easy enough to find a spare in my bits box. Relatively quick paintjob and I've got a cool looking objective marker for some Kill Team games. 

 

 

Next up is to finish my other two Night Lords over the weekend and get started on some terrain. As always, comments and criticism are more than welcome.

 

Cheers!

Thanks very much!

 

Ah, well that makes sense then - an astropath not a navigator. Thanks for helping me out there

Built myself a lightbox and got some photos of past projects. Here's Voren Anchylus, a Sons of Horus Astartes I built last year after reading The Solar War and being inspired to create a small vignette based around the Siege of Terra. He's based on the body of a Chaos Marine from the Shadowspear boxset, with the lower legs and knees of a Word Bearer's Ashen Circle marine from Forgeworld cut up and reposed, plus various MKIII and Sons of Horus bits, along with an Imperial Fist Forgeworld head. I initially planned to do a few more of these in the same style but the effort it took to rework the legs put me off, but if I can find a more streamlined method I'd like to go back to the project in the future.

That mini has a really cool pose and paintjob ! Love the open hand, very striking!

He is really well done, I love that the marine on the ground is an Imperial Fist and you used one of their heads for the main model. Just the right amount of heresy.

Amazing job on that SoH. The head choice works so well.

The traitor guard and the navigator look great. Love them with the khaki fatigues and green armor. I also want some of these guys myself seeing your work on them.

The Sons of Horus is awesome as well! Definitely worth all that work you out into him.

Thanks! The hand is from the Dark Vengeance librarian

Thanks! Needed to rub it in a bit more

Thanks very much, wanted to give him the look of a defiant last stand and thought the expression fit well

Cheers! They're lovely sculpts, I wanted to use the traditional Cadian colour scheme on them with just the rusted spikes and rags setting them apart from loyalist guard.
