What a busy summer!

Well, I have not posted all that much to which I apologize. The summer has come and gone (and sadly not much new in the way of painting has been done.

Some HQ units

I have managed to finish 4 HQ options, which did include some conversion work which was fun.

The Chaplain was the special unit from the Dark Vengeance box, but I cut the end off the weapon (it, along with the shoulders and cape had Dark Angels icons) and replaced it with a piece from my standard Primaris Captain (who had it replaced with a skull, and still not done). I used Vallejo Plastic Putty to try and give the shoulder a look of old chipped bone to cover the Dark Angels icon. The cape was just multiple layers of Liquid Green Stuff.

Overall I am happy with how he turned out.

The middle two have been posted here before, but the Librarian has not. He is just a Primaris Librarian, who I felt like should be from the First Company (different shoulder trim and aquila), but wears purple robes since he is with the Seventh Company. I am sure it doesn't fit the lore, but wanted to do something different to break up the purple that would have been on the model.

Nearly finished squad

Next up is a nearly finished squad of Intercessors (minor kit bash on the sergeant with a power sword from the Vanguard Veteren set). I still need to finish the rims on the bases and put static grass and such on them. Overall I am happy with how they are turning out.

On the paint desk at the moment is a squad of Reivers (two sets of easy to build ones chopped up for variety) and then there is a pile of stripped plastic ahead.

The fall should prove interesting for time, as work will slow down a little bit, but my daughter is off to kindergarten (her first day is next week) so that will be a life adjustment.

Anyways, I hope to have more pictures soon, and will detail some battle reports eventually (Death Guard vs. Blood Angels).
