Greetings Terrans, how goes it? Well, it has been nearly a month, and I’m still plugging away at my Primaris LotD marines… I have 2 new units to share with you today.

First up is a 5 man squad of Intercessors armed with Stalker bolt rifles… That means that these guys have a longer range, an extra pip of armour penetration and an extra point of damage, (yes, I picked up the new codex a few weeks back, so I know all the right numbers and words now!!). In a world where Marines now have 2 wounds each, that extra point of damage is potentially very useful… Anyway, here they are – nothing unusual to report on the painting front:

Next up is a unit of ‘Inceptors’ (I actually only painted four guys, as I had already painted the guy in the middle as part of my POC). These guys have 3 wounds & kick out 6 shots each at Strength 5, can deep strike, and can bounce around at 10” per turn…  Pretty darn good! I could do with one more to max out the squad size, but 5 is a pretty nice number to have. Again, nothing special to report on the painting front, very much business as usual:

Well, that’s it for another post – more of the same to follow I’m afraid, with more Intercessors on the paint station… feel free to unsubscribe for a few months if you’re getting bored of Primaris LotD! Assuming you don’t, I’ll try and catch up with you all before Christmas kicks in – stay safe out there & all the best.

Greetings Terrans, another quick update on my Legion army today – first up, some rather aggressive-looking Aggressors. Before I post my pics, I want to highlight that the base models are goofy as hell imo, and honestly, I’m not a fan. Their ridiculously oversized paws making them look like they permanently skipped Shoulders day at the gym – not a good look! Add in the insanity of a pair of power gloves with flamethrowers strapped on, and we have a pretty meh model as far as I’m concerned:

When I tackled mine, I wanted to visually balance the model a bit better, and still kicking around my idea of these guys having to deal with a lot of Daemonic incursions, I added Bloodletter skulls to the pauldrons… this nicely bulks out the shoulders & makes them more in proportion with their ridiculous bear paws. The horns on the skulls also give a nice bit of height & break up the otherwise smooth outline… They’re still not my favourite minis of all time, but I do like them better now, so overall, I’m calling this a win:

Next up we have a cheeky chappie Chaplain. Similar to the Captain I shared last week, this was one of two identical minis, so I converted this one a bit with a different melee weapon, a head swap, a change of ornamentation and a bit of re-posing – nothing hectic, but enough to set him apart from his twin. The robe was scratched up & painted with multiple washes – I wanted the effect of really old and stained leather:

So that’s it for another week droogs, I hope you’re still enjoying this army take shape – more chipping away at this project in the weeks to come :-)

Greetings Terrans, how goes it? Here we are again with cheeky little LotD post for the weekend. First up is a dude with a Stalker Bolter… i.e. a longer ranged, harder hitting sniper variant, (you can tell by the scope, and by the squared magazine). I imagine this guy will be a Lieutenant, & that he’ll hang with a squad of Stalker guys so he can give them a reroll to, (I think), to wound:

Next up we have a converted Captain – one of two identical models that I ended up with. I’ll play him as per the base model, although his power sword has been swapped for a rather brutal looking Maul. I also re-posed the power glove, and obviously I’ve festooned the guy’s armour with skulls. This nicely changes the outline of the base model, and so does a great job of de-duplication:

In the fluff I have in mind, I imagine that these Primaris had a classic ‘lost in the warp’ experience, and that in their damning, they were beset by Daemonic attack over and over again. As such, Daemons & trophies thereof are going to feature here and there, and this is really the first expression of this idea. Ok, fine, so some of the skulls are Nids, but they can count as Daemons ok? 😉

And that’s it dudes, short but sweet! Stay safe 😊
