Terimus

So I recently found this picture online, and I am intrigued by what model is used as the base for this. I have some conversion ideas, but have no clue where to find this model. Anyone know what it is? Sorry for the huge pic, Its not mine so I couldn't shrink it.

So I'm running a Heresy Era RPG for some friends based off the Deathwatch RPG rules. Just for the sake of accuracy, is there such a thing as hologram communication, similar to the handheld devices used in Star Wars? Is that a thing, or do they only have vox communication?

So I'm playing as an Assault Marine in a Rogue Trader campaign, and I'm about to be able to select a new talent/feat or whatever you want to call them. So far, I have weapon master, giving my opponents disadvantage in close combat against me, and as well I have parry, allowing for me to strike when they miss me. I'm trying to decide what would be most useful now. My first thoughts are maybe something like dual weapon fighting or something, but I'm open to ideas. What Talents have you guys found useful?

From the models incoming, I will be using them to make: -5 man Havoc Squad -10 man Chaos space marine squad -5 man Chosen/Fallen squad -10 man Berserker conversion for the Doomed Ones. -Brother Invictus (joining the Doomed Ones) -5 man Terminator squad -5 man Possessed Squad -Daemon Prince (converted from one of the Gal Vorbak, who I will replace in the squad with the Blade Slave model seen above) -Hellforged Contemptor. As well, I do have a few models I'm working on right now, doing some fun conversion work, so with those, I will also have an additional: -Chaos Spined beast (converted from a DnD dragon miniature, the wings of which I will use for my daemon prince) -Kathel (who is almost finished being built) -5 man Raptors -Sorcerer on Disk/jump pack -Chaos Lord in Terminator Armor -5 or 6 additional Possessed (from the original GW possessed models with conversions) -Silas Alec, Red Scorpion assault marine turned Champion of Malal (my character from Rogue trader that brought me into finding Malice in the first place. He's becoming quite powerful, and I've been modifying his original loyalist model to now have some chaos symbols and scrolls and I'll soon be painting him in the Sons of Malice colors). -undecided, but I may convert a few obliterators out of some old models. I feel like that will be a pretty solid start to build off! I should have a good mix of units in there. Thoughts?

Wow, just wow. This is incredible work! I love the amount of effort you put into not only converting but also painting these models with such excellence! Truly inspiring! I'd love to see your take on a custom built daemon prince!

Thanks! Soooo... I caved and also just ordered the Mhara Gal tainted contemptor dread for my forces as well haha Most of my stuff will be arriving Next Wednesday. IN the mean time, I'll be working on my current models I do have and I'll hopefully get the new thread started soon with what I've got so far.

Alright, so I have decided on Going with a mix of the Mk IV and III armors for my main units. I found some great buys on Ebay for pretty cheap, so I have 2 sets of Mk IVs, one set of MK IIIs, Tartaros Terminators, Kurtha Sedd (for Invictus of the Doomed ones), and a set of Gal Vorbak possessed. Most of them should be here in the next two weeks, so I'll get building and start up a post in the WIP forums as soon as I get them! I'm excited everyone! I appreciate all the support!

Holy cow, this is impressive! I really love what you guys have going here! I was planning on building some Thunder Warriors myself using Tartaros as the base, but your guys are HUGE!

Thanks! The plan is to eventually get a set of gal vorbak for the army, such beautiful models!

Thank you all for your thoughts and advice! I've been working on a few test minis and some concept art as well. For the mini, I've found a very difficult time working with straight black, so I've opted for a Leadbelcher with a coat or two of Nuln oil. This model is not yet finished being painted, I still need to add more details and highlights. Let me know what you think! conept art

Thanks man, Glad I'm not the only follower of Malal here! Once I get around to working on it, I'll be sure to start posting here. I'm starting to lean more towards the Calth set. I really like the idea of making them taller, I think I'll be doing that. My friend and I have been working on some homebrew rules for them as well, and one of the squads will be converted into my idea of Brother Invictus and the Doomed ones, which I'm pretty excited about!

A friend and I have been wanting to start a Sons of Malice/other Malice following army for a little while now. With some paychecks and probably some Christmas money coming up, I'm thinking about finally starting it up. As for building the army, I have a few ideas about how to get started, depending on the look I want ot go for, and was hoping ot get some ideas and opinions from you all. Option number one: Dark Imperium box set. Pros:This would allow me to go for the True Scale look with the force, which is awesome and intimidating. This would give me lots to work with as far as different units and some standard marines and some mutated marines. Different than just the models, I would also be able to get my own rulebook, which would be handy. I could sell off the poxwalkers, drone, and anything too nurgly to convert. As well, I could snag a few intercessors for my regular primaris force Cons: There would be a lot of conversion and greenstuff work to do here. It would take a lot of time to make this tabletop ready. If I did go this route, I would be modifying and reworking the primaris armor to look like MK IV armor to have the older look to it and differentiate it from the Primaris. This would be really cool, but will take a lot of time and effort. Option number two: Betrayal at Calth box set. Pros: Tons of great models and weapon options to work with here. The MK IV armor and Cataphractii terminators look great all the time, so this would be a good place to start. There are enough marine models that I can make some standard marines as well as convert some for special units. As well, contemptor dreadnought, 'nuff said. Cons: First off, no true scale marines, which is a bit of a downer. My only other concern is that it might be a little too easy, but thats not too big a deal. Really the only problem is the not having true scale stuff. It seems like Calth would be a bit better choice, but the true scale size and the rulebook are my main points for still wanting to go with Dark Imperium. I'm still undecided, but what are your thoughts here? Thanks in advance.

A friend of mine is working a loyalist World Eaters force for 30k, and wanted something unique for his leader, so I helped him out. I'm loving how this guy turned out!

Okay, so I have a dilemma. I'm working on a Primaris marine force, and I really want to include a librarian in my army. I really really love the official model from GW (which I would of course make a few modifications to), but I also am pretty good at conversions, so converting my own out of a standard primaris is also a possibility. What do you guys think?
