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.

  1. For some reason I missed the last few posts. I'm going to blame pillars of eternity. Sevatar is looking beyond epic. Holy moly!

    1. Ha! Pillars of Eternity will do that to you! He's almost finished now, I've just been catching up on some other stuff. Squads and a vehicle and such.
