Progress report

So Sevatar is coming along nicely. The display base is shaping up well.

I based my recon, heavy support and special weapons squads and they are now ready for priming and basecoating.

On the recon squad, I decided I really dont like the look of those flimsy sniper bolters with their long barrels, so I started switching them out for the Umbra Ferrox pattern bolters with the sniper scopes. They look a little more hefty, as you'd expect from a space marine legion.
You can also pretty clearly see my conversion work on the autocannons - barrel removed, muzzle brake reattached and chaim bayonets added. I also cut the ammo belts into magazines because they didnt fit onto the backpacks properly.
If you look closely enough, you'll also see some repositioning of legs etc.

I have my terror squad on the way - mkii crusader pattern armor with the terror squad chestplates and helmets. 5 of them will be getting volkite chargers which I plan to convert from my remaining 5 calivers. One will have a flamer and the rest will get some nice bits from the mkiii power weapon kit.

After that, I plan to do a total conversion of my storm raven into a fire raptor gunship and requisition a Javelin pattern land speeder.
