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.
Dark Angels painting tutorial
I noticed in the painting poll that Dark Angels got quite a few votes and having recently started an army I thought I'd put a little tutorial together. Much as Whitehorn/Rusty Dice did with the Space Wolves, this is a 'ready for tabletop' standard painting guide, but I think they look quite good and am pleased with the overall effect that my army is starting to take on in squads. If you are looking for display standard painting tips, I'm afraid you'll need to wait for Kidjal to do a tutorial 
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.
Creating pre-Heresy weapons: Mk 1 Bolter
This is a simple tutorial showing you how to create a pre-heresy boltgun using a modern model. The end model reflects those as used by Space Marines in Mark I power armour:
Model copyright Games Workshop
Items required:
A very sharp craft knife
Glue
A regular Space Marine bolt gun
Optional:
Plastic rod or plasticard and a variable sized hole puncher
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.
