I need more chest pouches for my Raptors, and the old Deathwatch parts are starting to get hard to find, so I'm playing around with Green Stuff and Oyumaru! They're not perfect by any means, but as a "proof of concept" I see this as a success!
Looking for basing ideas? Strip the plastic coating off of 1mm paper clips and cut them to the length of a standard bolter case.

Little by little my goal of an entire Company gets closer. Not quite half way yet, but this is a long term project.
Another Reiver for my Raptors 9th Squad, 3rd Company and Phobos KT. Finally found a use for the super tiny Aquilas and Skulls on the Space Marine Infantry transfer sheet. Giving my Raptors some head tattoos.
Had a lot of fun doing this one. Customizing a 32mm base was a little tricky. You don't have much room to work with, and trying to keep it from looking busy or boring is a pretty fine line. I feel like his might be a little too far back on the base though. Additionally I inadvertently created a gun barrel heat map.
I've been letting this one simmer in the back of my head for a while. Today's the day I kitbash Lias Issadon. He starts with the Captain in Phobos armor and a Sternguard head (the one with 3 service studs), the left arm and a Mk VI pauldron will need a little customization with the Fanttik Pro.
Decided not to go all black armor, like your typical chaplain. Basilicanum Grey gives a very dark iron quality to the metallic accents.
Had this Reivers Lt sitting on the desk, mostly complete, for a while. Then I remembered the spare grav chutes from the Death Watch sprue.
I'm seeing a lot of Tor Garradon in Raptors' livery lately so here's mine from a few months ago. He's got a few good techy greebles built into his kit that seems to fit the Raptors' "tacti-cool" aesthetic.
It's amazing the difference one year of practice makes.
On the left is the Helix Adept from the Phobos Killteam I started last year in April when I got back into the hobby. The right is the Helix Adept from the Vanguard box I finished a few days ago.
It's nice to have a good reference for growth.
