we have an ongoing badab campagin going on for the last two years. And I figured it was time for me to pull the trigger and finish these landspeeders I picked up over the past year. I got them on flea markets for like 10 bucks a piece. Now I have some transportation for my scouts and some QRF to intervene against all these tax dodging traitors!
My hottest take is that these 10e terminators are the best Indomitus pattern GW’s ever done.
My novamarines kill team (playing as heretic Astartes so I can use the guardsmen as cultists in the same team)
The first of two tactical squads for my 6th Edition Astral Claws force that are getting used for a local Badab escalation campaign!
I wanted to kind of have the look of Mk7 Marines, but didn't want their old small scale. So I decided to use the Heresy Mk.3 bodies, and gave them the Mk. 7 helmets and arms/ bolters (which surprisingly fit very well!). The belt fed bolters are from the old Chaos Marines, but with the Chaos icons scratched off.
The Lion vambrace is from an AOS kit, and the plan is for all regular Sargeants to have it (along with the gold helmet). While Veterans will get an extra Lion knee pad as well.
The missile launcher I think is my favourite of the bunch. The launcher itself is from the new Scout kit (it had some nicer details), and the backpack was converted. I took the old missile launcher backpack, and cut away the stowed arm and repositioned it to be reloading (while giving it a spare missile I had lying around).
Only thing I wish came out a bit better was the pigments on the legs. But it was first time ever using them, so bit of a learning experience.
Oh... and don't mind the one marine with red eyes... they were the initial test scheme model aha. As much as I liked the red, green definitely was the better choice in my opinion.
For my 6th Ed. Astral Claws force, I built 2 Razorbacks, to drive around my combat squad-ed special weapons. One has Twin-Assault Cannons, and the other with Las-Plasma. Since they both looked nearly Identical (minus the turret, and squadron markings) I combined them into one post.
I decided to go with the Deimos Pattern Rhino for the body, as pretty much every other model in my army is Converted (minus my scout squad). So it just seemed like a bit of a better choice. The turrets are the old Forgeworld ones. I was also very happy to find out that the regular Razorback top hatch fits on the Deimos rhino, made things a lot easier aha.
