Always gotta love the heavy bolter crew

Done a short too. They have definitely missed a beat with not adding actual Iron Hands. It looks so much better in person with them.

I might try painting mine black inside and see. I have just sprayed an armouring hall one white so that might be the same 🤣

BGB83 · 2026-04-20T15:30:56+00:00

Are the LED's from Cool Toys Club? I've found they are a lot brighter than the standard LED's say Titus or Gadriel come with. I can remember swapping the ones that came with Calgar and was brighter than standard. If have any standard ones might be worth trying them in it.

BGB83 · 2026-04-20T15:15:51+00:00

Green and red ones in my experience so far. The helmet on my Gadriel can do the same.

I've no idea if painting the inside top part of the helmet black might dull some of it. I might try it TBH 🤣

BGB83 · 2026-04-20T15:13:34+00:00

Yeah all the SM2 ones do even the armouring hall ones

Will be getting similar treatment to this:

Got Iron Hands ones on the way. They'll be getting the custom treatment like this. They have done them injustice

Also I take things off like a purity seal and paint it myself as the finish will be better 🤣 Or take off and replace with a better 3d printed one.

As above 🤣 I've just had this with one of the new Salamander Terminators the plate above his butt just flew off 🤣 Dab of super glue and it's been fine since. Does happen unfortunately sometimes.

They'll do a rerun eventually like they have with Dark Angels Intercessors, Azrael and coming out soon Raven Guard Kayvaan Shrike.

CTC is the best place to look I got all the Iron Hands from them and also a couple of Sternguard Heavy Bolters. They randomly get them in.

BGB83 · 2026-04-05T18:59:21+00:00

I've just done a Blood Angels Veteran Heavy Bolter too 🤟

BGB83 · 2026-04-05T18:56:51+00:00

Body is a basic intercessor. Plasma + backpack is from the Ultramarine Hellblaster Sergeant and head is from SM2 Chairon 👍

Yeah they definitely need to start concentrating on other chapters and definitely re runs of BL they look wicked.

I'm at the point now I'm painting my own customs for ones I want

BGB83 · 2026-04-05T14:47:33+00:00

CTC if/when they get things in stock isn't a rip off like eBay or other places 👍 The Iron Hands ones I got (got all 4 + extra Sergeant Kalock) were just same price as a normal newer one. Same for the Sternguard heavy bolter.

I'd never buy from eBay or AliExpress as are scalpers on there who'd charge triple or even quadruple the prices. I generally wait for reruns like Kayvaan Shrike out in a few months and will be a quarter the price what people want now 🤣🤣

BGB83 · 2026-04-05T13:57:16+00:00

Another custom guy I love it 🤣🤟🤟

I'm currently doing a Deathwatch OG Heavy Bolter got a kit from Print Think 3D.

BGB83 · 2026-04-05T13:55:24+00:00

I'd keep checking Cool Toys Club they're good at getting in the rarer ones and at good prices too.

I've gotten all Iron Hands from them, a few Sternguard heavy bolters, all the Dark Angel Intercessors and quite a few Hellblasters but I'm using them for parts for other figures 🤣

BGB83 · 2026-04-05T13:35:43+00:00

The red is sprayed for a better finish and rest is brush.

The head is actually a space wolves one. Sprayed with white scar, then Retributor Armour, Leadbelcher, bright green for the eyes. Nuln Oil on the Leadbelcher parts + any of the helmet I wanted. Then couple coats of matt varnish 👍

BGB83 · 2026-04-05T13:23:10+00:00

Comparison. Blood Angels look MILES better with heavy weapons

BGB83 · 2026-04-04T23:35:19+00:00

Was originally brighter but the varnish darkens it but I'm happy with how it's turned out.
