Creating pre-Heresy marines: Part 5b – Mark II power armour
This is the second part of the tutorial for creating Mark II power armour. The first part can be found here.
A Mark II helmet is readily available from the Maxmini Steam Knight set, but I feel this could still use a little customisation to fit with the base model I've used as a guide.
Creating pre-Heresy marines: Part 5 – Mark II power armour
Continuing the guides for producing pre-Heresy armour, next in line we have Mark II: Crusade.
The Crusade armour was the first fully sealed Power Armour used by the Astartes as the Emperor began expanding his control beyond Terra.
Here is one of Games Workshop's classic Mark II Space Marines. The backpack has been removed to show the detail on the pads and legs, the model painted as a Dusk Raider by Whitehorn.
Maxmini Giant Wolf revisited – Painted Thunderwolf
A quick return to the Maxmini Giant Wolf kit that was previously reviewed here, I got round to painting the model (not base!) in pre-Heresy Space Wolf colours. He's lacking insignia and squad markings,making it looks a little monotone with my choice to do the wolf grey too (oops)!
An enjoyable model to paint overall, but I clearly need some practice doing fur and Canids as a whole. I'm determined to get hold of some bike bases and give this little fellow a proper base.
Reinventing the Steel – Sons of Horus Vanguard
To keep my own projects on track I am planning to put the spotlight on a select squad or unit from my collection each week and aim to tidy up and paint them.
The first installment for this 'scrap workshop' are my Vanguard / Assault Marines. These chaps began life as pre-Heresy Salamanders, but a good half of that army became Sons of Horus after a Great Crusade campaign, leaving them unloved and needing a fair bit of attention and paint.
Product review: Maxmini – Giant Wolves
A little box arrived from Poland yesterday. Inside I found this: Maxmini's newly released Giant Wolf set. Here's all the parts available:
- Wolf body
- 3 wolf head variants
- Wolf leg
- Rider legs
- Wolf pelt
Note that you get 1 random head per purchase, selected from one of these 3. Maxmini are more than happy to provide the head of your choice if you include a note.
