I've been absent. We got images of the multi-part Outriders. I had an entire extra set waiting for this reveal. Each model got converted. Sgt gets a power axe. Both riders get a different arm from the Assault Intercessors sprue. With the bike chaplain and go cart I'm looking good.

Trim placed for both melee versions. From here it's a damage pass and metal surfaces. I might leave a clean version for both in the set, for those that want to damage things on their own.

Melee weapon time. In the OG kit this weapon had a unique shoulder design, depending on which side it was on. I look forward to the extra sculpting. Bout 50% there on the basics.

Bild

Missile launcher is ready for the bolt and trim pass. May go through and unify some details across all the weapons. The trim pass will be done entirely inside Zbrush.

Tube time. getting the final details in before sculpting. These all start life as splines, and using the modifier stack allows for interaction as changes populate up the stack. People bag on Max, which I get, but my experience has not been Terribad™ .

Twin Heavy Bolter WIP Design no one will likely use, but for completeness sake it must get done. Least views of this thing online, again looking for 20 year old pictures is a chore. The barrel size to ammo discrepancy is crazy bad, but that's how it was designed, I didn't come up with it.

Tournament Buildings done. They're not going to win me painting awards, but it beats the hell out of MDF wood color. I need to finish up the scatter terrain, then I'll truly be finished. It's been a rewarding project, and I've never completed a good set of terrain before. #warlayer #wh40k

#lazarus It's got pedigree but the limited number of episodes hurt its impact. It felt like they wrapped up with the intent we now have the teams backstory, let's tell the actual story. Like a really long setup for a show we don't have yet. Good music and fights. Needed more time.

Bild

Terrain is getting built. Test color scheme. I wanted something not grey, so it stands out. The interior will be grey, so color outside, grey inside. Easy to tell what you're looking at. No wash here, just a base coat. It will get washed and a light dry brush. #warlayer #wh40k

Finally got the Brutalis built. Come at me bro! Talons have a better profile, but I can't let wrist mounted boltrifles go, to cool. Used Storm Shields on the shoulder armor, both sides. He still needs purity seals applied. Here he is with his brothers.

Company Heros (Repurposed) Built a companion Lt. to go with the squad. Waiting on eBay for the Ancient, he'll get here Monday. Then Veteran Eradicators, I use no helmet heads on my Gravis Vets. Hoping to prime this group Sunday.

AC Data Book, another added to the collection. The design language of this series has left an indelible mark on my mech preferences. I might finally stop looking for AC art books. Share your collection, I'd love to see what you've got. #armoredcore #fromsoft

What's cooler than a Helbrute? How about 3 of them. Pack complete. Each will have a god aligned squad to support. Meta busting, nope. Cool, yep.

Bild

#alphalegion Now for something completely different. Just banged out the Dark Apostle. He's got two subtle conversions. Head swap, cake. I like helmets on Heretics. Second cursed crozius head from the Apostle from the Dark Vengeance box set. I Am Alpharius!

#Phobos 1775pt's Vanguard Spearhead All but 10 scouts have the Phobos keyword. Still need to base and prime the new recruits, it's winter here so that will wait. I'm a narrative player, not a winning player. I love the idea of this force but have no delusions it will win.
