I'm building the noobs fairly close to standard - a few extra pouches/bits to reflect that they area little better kitted out, but otherwise, they are Scouts. As Sons of Medusa, all heads will be bionic/cybernetic, but only the Sarge has additional bionics, to reflect his rank. I have decided to go with the Desert Support camouflage, as my dooders are on desert bases (which, let's face it, works REALLY well with Armageddon - happy accident - I didn't plan on it... 😁) The hard armour will have the proper striped camo pattern, but I am looking for help determining what colour the fatigues should be. DuskTilDawnMiniatures on YouTube has a great tutorial for power armour, but ive never seen and example of the Scout armour. Any help appreciated! Thanks as ever, community! Have a great one!

The biggest kitbash I've attempted, and my first Dreadnought. Lots of firsts with my chonky boy, here, actually... First kit I started specifically with 3D printed bits, first extensive use of pigments and major weathering, and some off-the-cuff posing, as well as sponge painting oil washing. Took forever as he was daunting from the start. But I trusted the process, and here we are. Couple things I'd do differently, if I were to do again (HA! NO!...), but otherwise, I'm so proud of ma boy! All grown up and off ta smash threats to the Imperium. 😢 *sniff*

So my current projects of kitbashed Assault Intercessors and Scouts have been paused indefinitely, as I wait for them to emerge from the Warp Storm that is the Canadian Postal Service! 🤬 Lol. Not really that bad, but definitely has put a crimp in the plan... Anywho. I had found a Bladeguard body in ye olde bitz box, and was considering to fill time with...something. He'd originally been a Deathwatch Marine, so I had to edit that before anything else. Shoulder pauldron (and shoulders) were removed, as was some heinous looking green stuff work (to be fair, it WAS one of my first attempts using the stuff... 🤪) Knocked off a third party shin emblem as well. So there i was with a disarmed Bladeguard, with no ideas for the next step... Until BIG SHOUT OUT AND THANK YOU to Radjel40K for their post that inspired me to work on the above!!! Now, i just need to get him into the queue for paint... I have an overall plan, but if anyone has any idea for the shield, I'd love to hear it. I'm a Warclan Mageara guy; the default is SoM Green and Emerald Green, but as a long term vet, I'm thinking something more...Epic. Maybe a classic Greek hoplite colour? I've decided to leave the shield as is, no bits or ribbons. At most, dents and dings via weathering... Otherwise, any input is always appreciated! Cheers! 🍻

Just gotta do some touch ups and add a base!

So here's the thing: We all know that the Sons of Medusa are a Successor Chapter of the Iron Hands, created by Imperial Edict, rather than true inheritors of the Chapter, to ward off civil war following the Moirae Schism. All cool. Great lore.

However.

Given that we know the Sons are possessed of the same cold logical rage as possessed by Hands, and believe in the purity of Steel over weak Flesh, does ANYONE know where a guy can find some good options for Gravis-scaled/Gravis-themed Bionic bits? I have found multiple sources for Primaris stuff and LOVE that I can make those more in keeping with the Flesh is Weak! Theme for our Boys in Green. But I'd love some more options for arms and hands. GeeDubs has a couple cool options, but you can only have 1 or 2 of the same arm pose... I want MORE, dammit!!!! 😁 Any ideas are appreciated!

Got my Terminators Squad completeled and made them a little more "Sons of Medusa-y." I REALLY love how the Sarge came out.

Also finished decorating my Saturnine Terminator Captain.

And had some parts arrive unexpectedly early, so got my Saturnine Librarian Termie mostly done as well.

Now for a little finishing work and tidy up, and I can start priming and painting!

Overall, a damn good hobby day!

Purge the Weak, indeed! 😆

So the Sons of Medusa Desert World Support Squad Camo has come up frequently in the last few days. As a future project, I'm thinking I might do up some Infiltrators in the scheme, just to add a hint of new to the sea of green. The question i have is, do any of you Schismatics with an eye for colour theory know what paints would be used in the scheme? I see Abbadon Black and Phalanx Yellow for the vertical tiger stripes, but what about the base Armour? XV-88 basecoat? Tau Light Ochre highlight? Maybe a Fuegan orange wash? Any help is appreciated. Cheers! 🍻
