I hope you had a nice holiday season and a great start in the new year! I wasn't home for two weeks and I'm finally back at my hobby desk. This model is the last one I've finished in 2019 and also the start of my next warband.

It's basicly a Primaris Reiver with a Grey Knight torso and a custom SMG styled Bolter.
I really had a blast building and painting this model. I wanted something like a truescale marine and combined it with a tactical dreadnougt armour. The pose works quite well and it corrects the shoulder problem slightly. For the colour scheme I wanted to go for the classic one and tried some new techniques like creating texture with stippling.

Rock on guys and stay tuned! The Emperor protects.

Back to the Future!

This model is based on a Hasslefree Miniature, which is a bit smaller, than the typical GW sculpt. I was looking for a mini that fits the Forge World Escher heads and this one caught my attention. I removed her head, added an additional strap with 0.2mm plastic-card on her front and added a 40K-styled backback. This is a very simple conversion, as shown on the following WIP pictures.

This was surprisingly fast intermezzo from start to finish. I build and paint her in less than a day. The basing includes some of the gained experience from my recent diorama project. I also used AK's ultra matte varnish, which I can't recommend enough ;-).

I'll leave with a short teaser of things to come...

Thank you very much for your visit and stay tuned! As always, I'm looking forward to your feedback.
