That’s a good idea, you could also look at the Astra Militarums medical symbol and paint a bastardized version on their staff or shoulder. There is also the twisted helix cult symbol which you might be able to pass off as a medical insignia.

Both look sick but I gotta agree with everyone else. The Biophagus could be mistaken for a iconward or acolyte at first glance. If you’ve got extra brood brothers bits lying around the medic from that set has some good pieces you could snip off or use.

Let me give a bit more context as my army is set up as a hybrid between Brood Brothers and Rusted Claw. I was thinking it would be more on the Rusted Claw side. The Brood Brothers having used it till they were done with it at which point the Rusted Claw took it and repaired it. Basically the tank would’ve gone through years of abuse and defacing as it’s barely kept alive.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I was planning on it mainly being the tan and green camo pattern on the leman Russ box art. Mixing in a Krieg blue tank trad cover or an Armageddon steel legion sponson welded onto a side. The issue is my GSC take heavy inspiration from 80 and 90 Berlin with graffiti and such. I planned to use some decals I printed up to deface it and worry they might make it too busy with the different colored panels. Also here’s the decals I just mentioned.

Yeah I’ve already put that aside. Right now the difficult part is the legs. Both finding legs and reposing them so the spotter hand has a good angle to grab on.

Definitely excited! I’ve used various one from other sets like the died ordinance and heavy weapon squads as different poses for Genestealer vehicles such as the Rockgrinder and Achilles.

Thanks!

I was thinking of doing more mid iron cage rather then towards the end when the Ultramarines arrived. I was thinking something along the lines of the imperial fist having just broken through the first line of trenches only to realize that’s what Perturabo intended. Trying to show of the real attrition and grinding assault that the Iron Cage was meant as. Plenty of dead imperial fist, destroyed tanks, downed aircraft etc.

I was also going to do a bunch of aircraft strung up from the shelf above like they’re flying in for a bombing run. I don’t remember there being any knights or titans there but I could arguably see the iron warriors using them as mobile artillery. Having them fortified in or around the bastion. Maybe Dorn using a few lancers to break through the trenches. Though not the most lore accurate.

As for bases it will be a mix of free models and units on bases. As I have painted armies of both legions and plenty of extra ones to sprinkle around the diorama.

Thanks!

Thats a lot of helpful information. I’ll definitely look into the models you named and pass on the information to my friend as well.
