Nice models overall. the new Warp Spider Phoenix Lord may be the best of the bunch. Notably absent is Kharandras....and a Shining Spears Phoenix Lord. Two models to go, plus any of the Craftworld specific characters to be redone in plastic.

"NYAAAH!!! Quit dancing about, you fool! I need to put you to the question using...The BLADES OF REASON!!!" - Asmodai (as voiced by Frank Todaro [i.e. Cobra Commander]) The Blades of Reason don't need rules. At all.

What "a lot of buffs?" Units get OC 1 instead of 0. Nothing else is mentioned. Am I missing something? We also have access to the Gladius Task Force Doctrine/stratagems though.

Because aircraft systems are more fragile than those of an equivalently-sized floaty tank. Who else is just pleased as punch that our Taskforce rule has gone back to being not just a reactionary rule, but a situationally reactive rule in response to our units having had their arses handed to them and then failing a Battle Shock test?

Which actor should play The Lion? Why, the greatest actor of all time of course - Kirk Lazarus! Even his last name more than implies rising from the dead!

I've included a Dreadnought in nearly every army list I have have made since 1988. Why? Because of imagining things like this stomping through the smoke of battle and murdilating stuff a' la Dawn of War 1 opening animation scene.

Lovely stuff as usual. I like the traditional decals on the white background. Provides some nice contrast, and makes the Chapter badge "pop." Some inspiration to get stuck in on the decal application:

Quad roastin' followed by the gatler to gib the roasty bits into proper serving sizes. Very considerate.

Agrax Earthshade here too, as I prefer a bit more contrast.

Thanks for the info all! I thought the doors must be Forgeworld, but I didn't see them on their website (OOP apparently). As for the front icon, I will unabashedly steal that idea from you, as I finish up my own tanks!

Very nice Bevulf! Where did you get the DA Chapter icons for the side doors and the smaller one on the front glacis from?

Bevulf [paraphrased/made up maybe just a lil' bit]: "Well, shucks! Thanks, guys! The models are really well sculpted. All I did was put paint on them." Yes, they are amazing sculpts, and I can truly say that without any bias. They are among the best, maybe even THE best, Horus Heresy models yet produced. But you just plain killed it. Fantastic work.

Very nice Apothecary! Are you working up to a 50 Power Point Crusade Force for 9E by chance?

Well, I have put some paint on some Necromunda Goliaths (I'd say they are 80% done), and on some Black Legion...things (long way from being done). Tons of Orks sitting around awaiting paint (that's Orks for you). But...I keep looking at the Primaris Space Marines, the "Ashen Angels." They are all ready to go. All 46 of them (22 from Dark Imperium, 19 from Shadowspear, Zakariah, Lazarus, and 3 Aggressors). I think that is it. Of course I will definitely be getting a Dreadnought to go with them, and a few of the new tanks, but there is no pressing reason to do so at this point. The 46 models are not just built though. Any extra filled in detail (due to the limitations of metal molds) on these somewhat simpler starter set models was carved away to look proper. The left shoulder pads were also carefully carved away and replaced with Dark Angels Primaris shoulder pads (yes, my miniatures are multi-layered tapestries upon which I texture themes and subject matter, which...uh...quite frankly would be too strong for your hobbyist modeler ). I am thankful that Vanguard models did not need their shoulder pads replaced. There. Now I've done it. GW will no doubt shortly release a Chapter-specific Vanguard should pad sprue, and make me eat my words (and make more work for me). I just noticed I have never posted a project thread of anything here. I will have to remedy that. Enough hijacking though. We now return you to the Interrogator Stobz channel.

I wish. The COVID and all. Been building many models, up to the point I have no excuse not to be painting now. I have many Ashen Angels (un-primered), Onyx Angels (primered black), and...uh...Snow Angels (primered white)! Excitement! Glad to see you continue to bang away at things. You have an awesome collection.
