A while back I got these in a buy from ebay, and the Volkites had been attached in a wrong way. A few bits of plastic rod, and some spare hands later, and these are almost ready for painting. I do need to add some GS to the right wrists first though.
I intended to print two, but because I had failures, and just chose to reprint the whole file again I got left overs. In turn these racked up, until I have almost enough for a third tank - new hull and one track and we're off. I don't know which armies will get these, one will go to the Blood Pact I'm sure, the others will be split between 30k Militia forces (if we get new rules) or my 40k Lavuran Guard, which I'm thinking about reforming as an force from the 500 worlds - when I sort my fluff/headcanon out I'll post it here.
The 3rd one, it still needs GS work around the fighting compartment roof join.
Another model from Imperium Magazine, the Lord of Ultramar himself. I haven't decided which head to use yet, but we'll see. Apologies for not showing any painted stuff for ages - the painting station is half packed so it's just what I can build at my home work desk during breaks etc. Once the move is completed - more painted stuff.
Just a quick update on these guys, assembled from a mix of GW plastic, Forgeworld and 3d printed parts, here's my Locutarus Storm Squad, less jump packs. I had to relearn that the resin FW legion specific shoulder pads are scaled on the old resin FW plain pads, not the plastic ones of the modern kits, hence they are a touch small.
As 9th seems to have put a big hole in the playability of most of my armies, I've been struggling to do much for 40k other than build stuff I had stashed, or had 3D printed. I am still feeling good about 30k though, as I've currently rereading all the books in the novel series, and missing some of that marine on marine combat. I rebuilt this old Space Crusade Chaos dreadnought to use as an Iron Warriors box-dreadnought, and I do have some other weapon options. The other marines are destined to become an Ultramarine force. The Mark.2 was meant to become a Luna Wolf, but I'll do some more for that (I'm secretly hoping GW will sell a plastic kit for that mark, one day). The others are a mix of FW and 3D printed bits, aiming to become a full squad of Ultramarines Locutarus Storm troops.
