Do You Want To Build A Repulsor?

Started the Repulsor this morning, the next one I'm skipping the first step, leave the central antigrav mounting points off, everything else goes together well up to this point, before I add those plates I'm planning to paint and dry brush those mounts before fitting the plates.

Not The WIP I'd Been Planning On

I had planned to have been building a new bed this weekend, but a lack of screws supplied with it means I'm currently sleeping in a single bed till they arrive, another downer was running out of black spray paint, leaving one face still blue on the Repulsor sprues. On a plus note the dead Knights are super easy to put together, these things are great, literally a snip and push, both minis ready for painting in a minute. Just need to check the other Night Haunt so I can get a colour match.

Good News, Everyone!

I May Have Got A Bit Carried Away

Yesterday I stumbled across a tweet from the Warhammer Community team asking for pics of our dreads. I regret nothing what so ever about the number of replies I put on their post. Lots and lots of replies... Fingers crossed here's a link to the tweet. https://twitter.com/WarComTeam/status/1254697792595001344?s=19

5th Company Master

I got most of the heavy work on this one done yesterday, and then called it a night when I saw the shoulder pad details and the tired eyes were not up to it. Tonight my focus was on those 2 paldrons and cooking a joint of beef for the day walkers. I'm not happy with the bolter arm, it just doesn't do anything for me, I think I will have a root through the bits to see if I can find a plasma pistol and arm that will look good on there.

Another Company Master And A Start On This Year's Vow

And now to the target for this year, demi company of Primaris, using the red cowling and different belt colour as the 2 main differences between the 2 halves of the Company. I'll be throwing a squad in with a bronze aquila because when I started painting Primaris for this army I hadn't looked at it in a while and so did what I wanted when I went back and found some of the old marines had a bone aquila, short back story involved for that, so when I got going again I went back to bone, as a recruite the marines are told the tales of betrayal, write them out on parchment, burn them, and mix the ashes into paint, the colour is associated with grief and morning on one of the recruitment worlds, so a marine is armoured against the lies of his enemies. The bronze aquila denotes an Indomitus Crusade veteran, a bone aquila denotes a raised Lion's Blades marine.

And company master with monster hunter. The helmet is in honour of a great warrior from one of the recruitment worlds of the Lion's Blades who, a warrior wronged by his king and left to die, after a tail of bloody revenge, the warrior took the Kings head and burned the Palace to the ground, leaving no one alive. No one remembers the wronged warriors name, just that from the night forward he was called Death's Head.

Finished The Chaplain Dreadnought

Was digging in the Lion's Blades Dreadnought box today looking for the lost thumb for this dread, when I came across the missing shin plate, I ended up doing a swop from the 3rd dread as it had 2 thumbs, a bit of glue and an edge highlight later and it was ready to smite the Fallen and point out just how naught you are.

The Warden of the Lion's Blades Rites was just glued together today.

Eventually I also dragged out number 3, the Ancient One, Herald Of The On Coming Storm, The One Winged Angel, legend has it that the marine that pilots this venerable Dreadnought fought beside those who fought with The Lion.

To have all 3 of these ancient machines on the field of battle is an I'll omened time for the Chapter.
