A little more…

A little more arm work on the Sternguard this morning. Finishing off a hand… still needs a thumb:

Getting A-Head

Put the finishing touches on the Sternguards’ head this morning: I’m sending these off to have enough for the squad cast up in resin, to save a bit of work on trying to get a squad of them all looking the same. Updates as I get them :)

Heavies, forward!

I’ve been intending to update the Marines for a week now, but wound up working longer hours than usual at both of my other jobs, so only just got caught up… I performed an arm swap on the first Heavy Bolter marine, to bring the weapon up into more of a ‘bringing to bear’ pose, [...]

Marching on with the Sternguard

The Vox-pack is made from a Cadian backpack, with the bottom and sides trimmed down and the bottom and vents from a Marine backpack added on. The auspex is a regular auspex top and base [...]

The inset is after a little photoshopping to try to show how it will look finished off, as it has [...]

‘Arm’ing the troops…

Got a little more work done on the True-scale Sternguard… Started with sanding down the torsos to get them nice and smooth and armour-ish.
