Who better to lead my Strike Force of the Scythes of the Emperor than the head honcho himself: Chapter Master Thracian (or Thrasius as he is known in older sources)! This particular conversion was mainly inspired by an old piece of artwork from Advanced Space Crusade/Tyranid Attack depicting an Officer of the Chapter and this was mainly accomplished by combining two of my favorite old sculpts (the Veteran Captain and Ultramarine Captain) together along side some other bits (such as a Clanrat spear for the blade of the Power Falx). Overall I am super proud with how he turned out and can't wait to field him on the tabletop. For Sotha!

Got my second squad of my retro Scythes Army project completed this morning. Had a lot of fun painting the whole squad although the metal devastator marines with their metal weapons did have me worried that they would break during the painting process. The Veteran Sergeant is probably my favorite out of the squad with his MK5 Armor and his sick powerfist.

The first tactical (combat) squad I've painted up for my retro Scythes of the Emperor army project I've started recently. Felt awesome painting these old models and I'm really proud with how the banner and the NMM gold turned out! More to come soon. For Sotha!
