Greetings Terrans, I have more progress to share on my Mordion project – my first tank (ok, APC) for this army!

I used a 1/35 Tamiya M113 as a Rhino-esque proxy – it’s about right in terms of footprint, but it is a little tall… Still, I think it looks the part & I’ve left it alone other than changing the pintle weapon for a heavy something from the OohRa sprue.

I painted it with the grey same urban camo as the troops themselves, weathered it a bit & stencilled on a few markings here and there. Nothing too fancy – I still have 4 more to do & I genuinely don’t enjoy painting tanks!

That’s all for now folks, more of the sane for the next while 😫

Greetings Terrans, been quite a while since I last posted, but I have been busy building tanks for 1st Platoon to tool around in… They took bloody ages, but are now primed and ready to paint up – more on them in the coming weeks. Meanwhile, I have also been working on some OG AdMech and the Servitors that allow Rogue Trader IG armies to access all the toys…

First up, two of Bob Olley’s Adeptus Mechanicus tech priests, dating back to 1989:

As with all Olley sculpts, these guys are very wibbly and fun to paint – just look at that robed guy!! I probably didn’t do them justice really, opting for a quick paint job rather than picking out all the detail & fancy highlighing, but still pretty effective I think.

Next we have five Stargrave ‘Automatons’ – a very nice plastic kit available by the sprue for a very reasonable amount. These make for great Servitors & are really nice minis in and of themselves! Plenty of spares as well, so I have a nice windfall of bionics added to the bitz-box.

I painted these to look well used & a bit ramshackle… While the 7th Mordion might be newly raised, their AdMech contingent is anything but!

And here they are together – funny how the new and the old work so well together:

Anyway, that’s it for now folks – time to get focused on some tanks!!

Greetings Terrans, and wonder of wonders – a second post from me in less than a week! Last time I mentioned that there were a couple of models missing from 1 Platoon – a Commissar and a Sanctioned Psyker. Well, I had some models in mind, so I got on with prepping and painting them on Sunday:

The Commissar is a 1989 sculpt by Mark Copplestone – I stuck a magazine on to his lasgun and modified the barrel to look more like a Bolter, and I added the sheathed sword to match the list. The painting was pretty straight forward, being mostly black (with a light drybrush of grey for highlights). I painted the trousers tan just to break up the mini a bit, and to reference the Blanche artwork I have been using as inspiration.

The Psyker is also from 1989, sculpted by Alan Perry. This guy was designed to have separate plastic IG arms back in the day, but I used some trimmed down spare arms from the OohRah set for continuity, with the addition of a pistol & sword. I went for green on this guy, mainly because we haven’t had much green so far in this project and I fancied a pop of colour, (plus green just seems right for these 40k psychic types). I had fun with the skin tone, making him look just a little bit unusual – appropriate for a sanctioned mutant.

Here’s a few more pics:

And here is the whole Platoon packed in their tray, ready for battle on the weekend :-)

That’s all for now folks, onwards and upwards!
