Burnguard Veterans

Howdy all! I finally got round to building something "salamander" for my army!

I've never really been a fan of the kit or the way the squad is set up? So I decided to give them a heavy member and a sergeant more in line with intercessors. I'm really happy with how they turned out build and paint wise!

The name was suggested by a friend because they look so different from standard Infernus marines haha

Any questions or C&C welcome as always!

Tanky Prismatic Icefall Titan build advice

Hi all, I've been playing D2 since the Red War and never really gotten too involved with proper builds. Over the last couple of weeks I thought I'd mess around and try out my first.

I'll admit, I don't have a lot of the prismatic fragments unlocked and I never really got too hands on with it (or stasis) outside of their respective campaigns but I did sort of stumble into this build and it's been quite fun.

The idea of it is that it's a gun focused build that generates stacks of frost armour and makes it more survivable for me as the gameplay goes on. Icefalls felt like a good exotic to mix into this for both instant frost armour if weapon kills have become a struggle and for freezing enemies in the immediate area.

Not sure if it's clear from the images provided but I'm using the Iron Panoply armour set.

Any questions or advice would be appreciated! Many thanks in advance! (also sorry about the stretch on the images, they're straight grabs and I wasn't sure how to fix it!)

Fresh from Armageddon!

The only unit I wanted from the new box was those beautiful new Eradicators!

I've got plans for other units but these were such a good foundation! Got far too excited to wait until I've painted these up but oh well, here they are!

Hope 11th is treating everyone well so far!

The Chaplain's Surge

Apologies these took so long, the heat in the UK is kicking my ass so these weren't as quick a turnaround as I'd hoped, but here we go!

I don't know if we have our own name for Chaplain's but it felt good to get both the standard and the terminators sorted! I have plans for a Jump Chaplain but that'll be somewhere down the road!

(Please don't look at the "floor" too much, I spilt my glue recently 🙃 I'm still recovering from the emotional damage)

Rise of the Wavecaller

So I've not long finished my Wavecaller and Wavecaller in Terminator Armour (Phobos is planned for somewhere along the line of 11th) and I am really rather excited to share!

​

I really enjoy the unique style we're allowed to give our specialists by only changing the purple colouring and I also had a tonne of fun doing some trial and error with the psycher lense and force weapon effects!

​

Any questions or C&c welcome!

Final reenforcments before 11th

I've been in a bit of a mad rush getting through as much of my army as possible before 11th "officially" arrived. At the time of writing/posting I have 10 minutes left before the great day arrives so I wanted to share the final fruits of my labour!

​

In the past 3 days I've finished 5 Terminators, 10 Intercessors, 3 members of the company heroes unit (left the ancient for now), 2 lieutenants and a captain. I've also managed to add in some tribal/armour markings for my Sternguard I posted forever ago.

​

Happy new edition everyone, hope those who wanted the new box got it and that everyone is looking forward to all the new things coming our way! Looking forward to seeing it through with all of you ☺️

Kustom Eliminators

Other than their final wash I managed to finish up a squad of Eliminators today. Really happy with how they came together!

​

The way I see Eliminators is they're the most elite hunters within the chapter. After years of training they eventually are promoted to this prestigious role, often being sent solo on missions from scouting areas that require a more delicate touch or even hunting down a particular foe.

Armed with their own artificer armour, weaponry they feel most comfortable with and a modified servo-skulls for in field aid, these marines are the best The Krakens have to offer.

Some brothers ready for battle

Got final coats on my lightning claw assault terminators, hellblasters and apothecary biologis so I had to share!

​

Hope y'all enjoy what I've built and painted, any c&c always welcome

Champion of The Chapter

Built this guy up based on the Crucible of Champions rules - had a tonne of fun actually making a playable character with tonnes of character!

​

Hope y'all enjoy!

Finished Tyrannic War Veterans

Okay, they're not 100% finished but they're about 97% there so I had to share!

Shared the built version with y'all recently but after a random spurt of batch painting my whole army I got these done today. Really happy with how they've come together!

Any questions or C&C welcome as always

Help with colours

Hey y'all!

I'm working through my army right now and I've realised I have no idea what colour to the feathers I have on my army.

With purple armour, red eyes, orange helmets for sergeants, blue helmets for veterans, does anyone have any suggestions?

(I have a plan to use a certain chapter master as a jump chaplain down the line so eventually this will be fairly bold)

Any help will be greatly appreciated 🙏

Tyrannic War (Sternguard) Veterans

A while back I asked what unit would work for a modern "Tyrannic War veterans" squad. With a mix of help from you guys and going through wahapedia I worked out that Sternguard would be the best unit!

After Instagram served up some pictures of a Danish Naval Special Unit I couldn't help but make these guys out of some left over pieces in my bits box.

The bases are drying currently but I'm really happy with how insane looking they've come out so I had to share with y'all!

Is anti-grav a specific colour?

I'm going to be working on my Storm Speeders soon and wanted to give the anti-grave plating a glow effect almost to show they're working but does this have a colour?

I know things like plasma the colours can change but grav weaponry has only ever been green (as far as I've seen) so I wanted to know if it's a fixed colour or I have free rein - or even if it doesn't emit any kind of field? I don't know, I'm not that well educated on space marine vehicles haha

Army showcase(?)

I've seen a few people sharing updates of their beautiful armies recently so I thought I'd join in!

This was the first time I've had all of my models in one place so it was really a pretty cool feeling! I know there's a great sea of unpainted models but I am working through them!

Terminator Captain inspired by The Tyrant of Cthonia

I really fell in love with the Heresy model "The Tyrant of Cthonia" and wanted to have something similar for my Dark Krakens army.

I had an awful lot of fun putting him together and I can't wait to get him painted up!

For the glory of Vulkan!

Brothers, I need to hold myself accountable and the easiest way I could think to do it was to post it on here!

My army is growing and I am really happy about that! But I am running into old habits and not getting my army painted up...so I've made a list of where everything is right now so air my shame haha

So far I've fully painted: a Judiciar, 10 heavy Intercessors, 6 Bladeguard, 6 Eradicators and 5 Terminators.

On the painting table right now I have: An Apothecary, a Terminator Captain, a Lieutenant, 5 hellblasters, 10 Sternguard and 10 Assault Terminators.

Currently primed I have: Vulkan He'stan, a Captain, a lieutenant, a Chaplain, a Terminator Chaplain, a Librarian, a Terminator Librarian, an Apothecary Biologis, 2 Techmarines, a Champion of the Chapter, 10 Intercessors, 10 Assault Intercessors, a squad of Eliminators, Company Heroes, 2 Invictor Warsuits, a Hammerstrike speeder and a Ballistus Dreadnought

Models that need basing: Thunderstrike speeder, a Brutalis Dreadnought and Redemptor Dreadnought

I am very aware there's a lot going on here...but now I've got no choice but to get them painted up! Thank you all for your understandable judgement and for making me actually engage in a whole quarter of the hobby haha

Is there a "canon" hair colour for Krakens?

I've seen plenty of discussions about eye and skin colour as sons of Vulkan but I'm curious if there's any answer about hair colour? With Salamanders usually being bald I didn't have anything to work from haha.

If there isn't one colour then awesome, gives me some freedom when it comes to painting!

I was working on Techmarine to use as basing for a Dreadnought and accidentally cooked too hard and now have a pseudo-octopus inspired Techmarine to add to my forces instead!

Hope everyone's had some hobby time this weekend, would love to see what people are working on!

Do you ever start building a model for a more scenic dreadnought base and cooked too hard and now I have a new techmarine I love...so I wanted to share him here haha

u/K1ng0fR4mm — 2 months ago

Not sure if this has already been shared already but just come across this! Nice to see us in any form!
