Got my hands on a battered FW Solar Auxilia command squad. After stripping some stray glue and paint, plus filling any scrapes and holes, I've gotten something I'm quite pleased with.
Absolutely adore the Aethon Sentinel, and they work great for Armoured Sentinels, but the roof mounted gun is a bit wonky. Opted for some simple kitbashing to slap them on the side, making room for the chainsaw and hunter killer missiles.
Using a 1/76 Universal Carrier to make a Cyclops demolition vehicle kitbash. Needed a cyclops and found this little vehicle was close to the perfect size.
Adore the new Hippogriff but felt the turret style wouldn't work as well with my Vostroyans. Nabbed a 1/35 FCM turret and slapped the Hippogriff weapons on it.
I love my little pyramid head.
Needed a Primaris Psyker, didn't have one, and now I do. Can't wait to get her painted
Grabbed the Cadian heavy weapons kit for my Vostroyans.
Bought three extra bases, built the tripods to friction fit the three weapon options, allowing me to swap them out. I then bodged together three bipods from plasticard to build my mortars, splitting the figures to have one on each base. I either shaved off or connected the flak armour across the chest to form one plate, sculpted some hats, and gave them a coat of paint.
An incredibly simple model, just some hats sculpted on top of the Rough Riders.
They took an embarrassingly long time to build and paint, so I'll have a go at cleansing my palette with some heavy weapons squads next.

Starting on my first loyalist guard army, figured Vostroyans would be a good place to start.
I picked up a few Dracosans on clearance to kitbash them into other Malcador variants as I play in a casual group that allows legends rules. This first Dracosan has been kitbashed into a WYSIWYG Malcador, and the next will be a Defender.
I figured now would be a good a time as any to get into the best Imperial Guard regiment. And with a local game store looking to shift some heresy vehicles, a good time to kitbash some Legends tanks.
I picked up two Dracosans and began converting this one back into a WYSIWYG Malacador (second will become a Defender). With a little raid of my spare parts and greenstuff for a hat, I reckon we have something rather nice.
Got a lot more Vostroyans to work on.
Slowly but surely work is progressing on Crannog, my OOn3 3ft gauge layout.
I've still got a lot to do, but I'm very happy with the progress thats been made so far and I'm so excited to continue.
I finally got to run my first test train and very fortunately we've had no issues..
