For Holy Terra Because space is scary

Whoa, I have a blog here!

Apparently I haven’t updated in a while, which sucks a bunch because I’ve been doing a lot of work (mainly on my Salamanders) and haven’t bothered to take pictures.  I really should rectify that, because here’s what I’ve been up to:

1) A squad of 10 Sternguard complete with combi-weapons (flamers and meltas).  I started with a tac squad box and tossed in Terminator Honour shoulder pads, and then converted the weapons.  They look pretty awesome!  Two of them even have heavy flamers, which are also conversions.

2) A Rhino chassis with a bunch of upgrades.  Initially it was intended to be the Sterguard’s chariot (which it will still likely be at some point).  I used a Vindicator box for the chassis and extra armour (I still need to build the rest of the Vindi), and grabbed a spare Heavy Bolter turret to give it a Razorback option. I’m pretty happy with the paint job, and there’s some freehanding on the back.

4) Assault marines!  I’ve got a 5-man squad of them built and primed, and another waiting to come out of the box.  The sarge has a Thunder Hammer that I made using the power axe they come with and the head of one of the hammer from the Death Company box.

5) Scouts! One squad built, primed and basecoated, and another squad half built.  Did a custom conversion on the sarge to allow him to count as Telion – even used some plasticard and green stuff!

6) Land Raider – completely built and ready to prime.  Well, completely built as a Crusader.  The Redeemer/Godhammer sponson is still in process.   With this one and the Rhino, I decided to just seal them up.  I could have spent the time to paint the interior, but (like a Drop Pod) the door actually gets in the way when playing, and I have built two Land Raiders already with the moving door, and I can’t get it right.  It always winds up off-kilter, and for that money, I wanted a really good looking tank.

7) On the Blood Angels front, I’ve actually worked on painting an assault squad!  I’ve also got another Land Raider in the box, and the Adeptus Mechanus says it’s going to them.
