Charter Master for my Prospectors gang is complete- introducing Commander Cold: Equipped with a power hammer (and a stone saw from his power pack), Commander Cold is converted with an AOS dwarf head, to better fit into Necromunda with having the biggest Mohawk around! (+2 to all cool checks) He is also magnetized so I can swap his weapons out in the future (currently have a power-fist ready to go for his right arm) Cut through the heart, cold and clear Strike for love and strike for fear There's beauty and there's danger here Split the ice apart Beware the frozen heart... - Squat Ice-Shanty

Another kill-team of marines inspired by the War of the False Primarch project. Jade Talons, 8th Company Kyndred, Endurance Cadre. Led by Veteran Noor, the Jade Touched. Leading endurance cadre against the Red Talons. Jade Talons engaging the Death Eagles (II?)- Saphrax IX orbital defense ring: Jade Talon Sniper <//IDENTITY REDACTED>, Saphrax campaign. ( I must know more! ) Jade Talons- original chapter by @adams_james_creates, recently featured in White Dwarf 515!!!

Thanks all! It has been fun to paint these Iron Hands/proto-Sons of Medusa. Still have plenty more to work on (been distracted by the War of the False Primarch and a new Necromunda project recently). Realized I never posted a few pictures! ******** As the call of the Gorgon’s death played across all channels and multiple company warships were gunned down by the guns of the traitor fleets, it was Centurion Kubra who signaled the retreat of his company into the void high above the ravaged skies of Istvaan. Organizing the fleeing ships, his own vessel was, though damaged, able to screen several craft through to their jump points before it too made the jump to Kelsbad to regroup, then on to the rendezvous with the rest of the survivors. Never one who demanded nor expected recognition for his actions, Kubra remained an ally of Selok and his faction during the restructuring of Clan Clotho in the aftermath, and was instrumental in coordinating the Reclamation of Taelus. Centurion Kubra, Master of Signals: The conversion based on an awesome piece from Legio Traitoris, happy with how mine turned out even if my version is a bit jenky. Never posted pics of the completed command squad for legion tac-squad #2, so here they are! Sergeant Kanuur, his standard bearer and a few mixed-mark VI marines. Really enjoyed this batch of marines. Had fun painting the Gorgon heraldry again too, I did the same for the Master of Signals but need to take a better picture.

It has been a few years! Time to journey back to this thread, specifically, to the cold, frozen North Pole of Necromunda... ...in those days we ranged as far as the stars would take us! There was no nebula unexplored, no asteroid belt unmined, no murky hyperlane uncharted. Our ancestor-kyn came to this world, ranged far and delved deep. Across the frozen northlands they went, cutting into the icy-heart of this world to find its lost forgotten riches. Barely a fraction has been unearthed, boundless more riches are sure to find the hardy kyn with the grit and beard to discover it! - Snorri Snorrison, Drill-kyn storyteller Heavy stubber? and meltagun above. Long untouched project from my pile of shame finally taking shape! Been planning to paint these guys this way ever since the minis came out. A couple other folks have done the lego Ice Planet 2002 theme by now too! Gunslinger dwarf with double pistols: Once again, GW contrast paints for this ice-blue are my favorite, that is all I did for the base on top of some sand/rocks painted white. Great look! And the board these guys are sitting on for the picture are the same thing just with an extra white drybrush. Boltgunner and mining-laser dwarf: I also painted these two as test minis! They will be regular gangers or juves with autoguns most likely.

There are no female space marines. Nor have there ever been female space marines. [-+- quote: Inquisitor Peragrin Mox Belkin Voss XIX, conducting actions in accordance with the Edict of Obliteration following the Saphrax War -+-} This project was meant as a small test for a planned future Vigilator for Horus Heresy. Wanted to try my hand at converting up a servo-skull/targeting-assistant, plus a longer gun made from a reiver bolt rifle, and try some wires. Really wish I had done the wires closer to her eye/core as they stick out a bit, but turned out ok. I had to go back yesterday and repaint the cloak because Adam made a fantastic camo cloak recently that I have (poorly) attempted to emulate. Also gave me another attempt to sculpt some dreadlocks again!

+ Balohai + Saphrax War/Myrean Shieldworlds Campaign + War of the False Primarch + <//Veteran Noor at the twilight assault at Jezad Oasis on Balohai, Saphrax War//> Location: Balohai [Saphrax Mons 7.23], semi-habitable moon of the Saphrax VII [grade: gas giant]. During the Saphrax Campaign, endurance cadres of the Jade Talons chapter conducted lethal strikes and raids on and above the desert moon against the Pentarchy Forces during their invasion of the system, bleeding many support elements dry. Little evidence existed of their communication with the rest of the Partisan forces and Iron Guard defending the system as a whole, pursuing their own agendas and engaging Imperium forces in a seemingly random fashion, focused on engaging Pentarchy chapters and claiming trophies as they went. <//Jade Talons/Endurance Cadre members lying in ambush. Balohai, Saphrax War//> Evidence points to the Jade Talons withdrawing from the system on their own terms, two years after the system war began in earnest, and after amassing a considerable reputation for disruption and sabotage. Official records conclude their resistance was ultimately broken by a task force of Flesh Eaters, whom eliminated the cadres after cutting off their void support and conducted sweeping search-and-destroy raids across the moon's habitable zones. ++++++ “It will bring joy to cross blades with you, bloodson.” “Cease your hiding and surrender, Jade Talon, that we may administer you an execution worthy of traitors.” His response was met with laughter cackling over the vox channel. Gritting his teeth, the Flesh Eater terminated the comm-link and continued the search through the desert.” ++++++ <//Jade Talons (8th Kyndred) and the Death Eagles (presumed Death Eagles II, unspecified company) conduct a running skirmish across the rings of Saphrax IX shieldworld orbittal defense rings//> ++++++++++

Amazing work as always! Your green stuff work is really impressive, love your take on Grimaldus!

+++ Some Things are Best Left Forgotten +++ The Jade Talons, 8th Company Kyndred, Endurance Cadre. ...Remember kyndred, remove the skull and excise all brain matter. It is the only way we can hope to not encounter these walking metal corpses again on another battlefield. Look to our own dead as well. While we have won this battle, I fear for the future if we do not win this war and these abominations go home to roost. The thought makes my smile go thin. [//Veteran Noor, the Jade-Touched, 8th Company Kyndred, Saphrax War+] This squad was painted slightly differently than Veteran Noor; I wasn't happy with the shade of his armor so I tried to make them slightly more "white-tan" than the "tan-white" he had. The results are more obvious in person, these pictures I can't even tell the difference That being said while Veteran Noor turned out a bit more "Predator" looking, the rest of the marines look more "Stormtrooper on Tatooine" which I am very happy with, especially the dudes with the Infiltrator helmets. I almost considered painting their shoulderpads orange... but the purple looks so good! Kudos to @adams_james_creates for such a great looking color scheme! For this squad I bought x5 extra Reiver bodies online, and source the rest of the bits from leftover Infiltrator/Reiver/Incursor bits from my Deathwatch project. Very happy with the use of bits lying around. Also of note, this is one of the first times I have played around with some editing software on my phone. Because I use a paper background for a lot of my pics, there is usually an ugly "seam" in the picture background if you look closely. This week I figured out a way to erase it! Will be experimenting more with this in the future. Undisciplined.... Reivers... Savages.... Consumed by the thrill of the hunt, that was their ultimate undoing under the baleful gaze of a false idol. [//Jade Talons. War of the False Primarch.//]

Very nice! I like the conversions you have put together for some very uniquely armored Wormwood Sons, looking forward to seeing them painted up!

Thank you @MoriyaSchism! I really like the Mark 5 look... used it for this next guy! ++++++++++ Veteran Noor, the Jade-Touched. 8th Company Kyndred. Led hunting raids of Pentarchy garrisons across the bleached sands of Balohai during the Saphrax War. He and his endurance cadre operators hid from interdiction forces for almost two years of the war with no void support. Harrowed the armory forges through unrelenting attacks and sabotage while surviving three coordinated efforts to eliminate them, including at leads one led by kill-teams of the Red Talons. Ultimately driven off by a targeted assault force of the Flesh Eaters (11th Company). …and we shall hunt them through the jagged rocks of Kantar and round the moons of Nibias and through the gates of Hades itself before we give them up!

@Sherrypie that is some awesome stuff @Monstra Sumus Love your work! ... I have been super inspired by the War of the False Primarch project for the better part of two years now, but only in the last month decided to paint up some stuff! Flesh Eaters Kill Team (Pentarchy of Blood) Iron Guard (Partisans) 212th Genswick Rifles Squad Link to more pics of these teams, still working on finishing one now for the Jade Talons!

Last Stand of the 212th Genswick Rifes Regiment +++++++++++ Order of Battle The 212th Genswick Rifles were a light infantry regiment believed to be over 200,000 strong prior to arrival in the Heliopolis sector. Low on Chimeras, armored assets, or other vehicles in general, the regiment by tradition preferred heavy use of horses bred on their home system; this included the majority of ranking officers and support staff spread throughout the regiment. Beyond the scout and shock cavalry companies, logistics companies, and single artillery battalion (only a small portion of the regiment as a whole) the vast majority of regimental manpower included high numbers of (expendable) trencher-infantry and engineers equipped to create fortified trench-lines across a wide stretch of warfront. Examples of 212th Genswick Rifles in field equipment, including guardsman-portable barrier-shields. Battalion/Company designation unspecified. Flamer weapons were widely distributed across the line companies, along with some rarer armaments such as the plasma pistol, here wielded by the platoon sergeant. +++++++++ The Imperium is a vast place, and communication is never a sure thing. Transmissions are not fool-proof and often intercepted, garbled, jammed, or disrupted. And that is even before the potential for mistakes to be made or a simple misunderstanding to occur. The 212th Genswick Rifles were never supposed to fight on the side of the Partisans. Dispatched early in the war to Ceto, backwater planet just outside the Myrean League, in transit the planetary governor (and rest of the League) declared for the False Primach. Completely oblivious to this fact, the Rifles reported to the aforementioned governor as previously ordered and took up their place in the defensive trenchworks, fortifying themselves for several months before reassignment to the Neris system. Later requisitioned by the Iron Guard (who in an ironic twist of fate had also fallen in line with the Partisan cause by this point), the Genswick Rifles were present during the ultimate destruction of the chapter’s 7th Company on the mud-flats of northern Saphrax VII at the hands of the Flesh Eaters. ++++++++++ Partisan pic-captures of the stalwart Iron Guard bolstering the line against the ravenous forces of the Flesh Eaters. No members of the remnant Iron Guard 7th company were known to survive the attack, nor the entirety of the 212th regiment. ++++++++++ +…and another thing!
