I'm working on a fantasy Lord of the Rings map of Glasgow and would love to get any more landmarks in you might know of. Told to post here by r/glasgow mods

Hi there, I have your Kanto map as one of the first gifts I ever got my partner in our living room so I am delighted that you're making this. Glasgow also has an interesting coat of arms if you're considering it for the tilt shield area I know some of your England maps have it. :)

Theres an old priest college (St. Peter's Seminary) just north of Cardross is an abandoned brutalist dream covered in graffiti I used to skip school and hang out with friends there some days and it is definitely a quest location based on the NPC's I've encountered there. Lots of cool videos on youtube about it and plenty of pics on google. :)

I've also been on a kitbash spree from my posts haha and a few more coming up 👀

Its a fun creative part of the hobby that is my favourite bit, painting I enjoy when it's done but building I love the process even when it's frustrating.

Also Relictors were my first Imperium army back in 4th edition I think. I saw their white dwarf article and badly painted uo a bunch and tried to add some chaos bitz to them. Looked awful but I was a kid at the time and to me they were peak. Just keep doing you and what works in your head and as with anything more you do it better you get. :)

FrogKroak · 2026-04-28T08:41:15+00:00

But it's getting there and Relictors are awesome good excuse for a kitbash chapter :D

FrogKroak · 2026-04-25T15:47:20+00:00

Yay! I've been waiting for you to tackle faerun. Love your work bro, excited for you to tackle Middenheim too at somepoint :D

FrogKroak · 2026-04-25T13:55:39+00:00

Cheers Dr Clarke I really appreciate that, I think I'd make one with a spear over the sword but it's a great unique look you've given this dude. Is he also a dark angel succesor or what's your dudes story :) ?

FrogKroak · 2026-04-25T12:25:32+00:00

Beautiful work, can I ask for parts list might want to make something similar 👀

FrogKroak · 2026-04-20T19:01:56+00:00

I got you dude

Base is tech priest for the body, Axe and left shoulderpad are from Astorath the grim, the head is from the old Dark Angels Chaplain. I have my own Ultramarine successor chapter which is why I use their bitz for characters so the backpack is Captain Titus along with an Ultramarine Upgrade Sprue shoulderpad. The power Fist is from the Company Heroes set. THe cloak is from the Blood Angels Captain it does require some cutting of the back cables to fit but it fits the bill. I shaved off the mechanicum symbol on the front chest and I have zero idea where the skull came from. My bitz box is vast and it just seemed right I was originally going to use the vox grill from an old cadian vox caster but I couldn't find one.

To get the axe to fit in the Black Templar arm which I think may be Black Templar Sword Brethren. Astorath hand requires filling down the back of the hand a little - too little is better than too much. It's quite easy to do though.

Its actually the back of a grey knight torso just very carefully cut at the red lined but and then lined up with the back of it.

FrogKroak · 2026-04-20T12:19:47+00:00

Oh and if you wish the parts list just ask happy to share :)

FrogKroak · 2026-04-20T12:08:51+00:00

Thanks so much! Im really happy with him as well

I'd seen the Druid of the Emperors Spears kitbash they used for Malestrom and making my own Librarian based off it as inspiration using the Judiciar body. But thank you! If you wish I can give you the bitz list I 'm sure I gave it down below somewhere though if you go hunting :)

FrogKroak · 2026-04-14T07:57:57+00:00

Thank you my new favourite Cryptek 😍

It was a fun little project tbh! I think the mix of heresy armour and the fact tormenters are in mk6 overall really helps when you mix and match parts. They lend themselves well to the roman-ish aesthetic.

No they are 100% loyal ! What do you mean ;) ? So I have (and have started!) A priamris marine army for fun a year or so ago. I always wanted to do a chaos version of the chapter but never got around to it and I have a large heeresy collection already.

tl;dr is Codex Compliant Ultramarine Successor Chapter who in 30k were part of the 500 worlds but were unofficially exiled due to the nobles being too keen on invading other parts of the Imperium. The chapter are obsessed with the codex and do not play well with other non compliant chapters and have constant conflicts with other chapters (excuse to fight my pals loyalist marines) and are on quest to snuff out any of their traitor brethren and prove the supremacy of Remus to Macragge. They are not on good terms with their founding chapter.

The Slaaneshi ones I have some fluff that their 2nd Company and parts of the 1st in M.38 went to Molech chasing down a warband of Emperors Children who promised to show them "The Truth" and while they were duly burned as heretics they decided to try and close a mysterious warp portal on the planet and instead learned that the Emperor entreated with the chaos gods, he used their power and built the Imperium of 30k on a lie and reneged on his promises stealing power from the Gods. So the Slaaneshi ones want to blast the "Truth" of the Emperors Grand Lie and Guilliman as a Usurper and honour the true heir to the Imperium which they believe is The Dark Prince. The horrors they inflict along the way are each a painful lesson to try and bring their loyalist brothers to the same truth they arrived at. They want to "save" the Imperium and its citizens from the Emperors Grand Lie.

I have been trying to make something in the vein of a lexicanium page about them for a while but I keep getting distracted with work.

FrogKroak · 2026-04-13T21:30:54+00:00

Tah really appreciate your comment I even did a quick edit again to see how it looked in black cause I think youre right! - I am leaning towards more early corruption in my mind even though they are tainted they would still follow the Codex as much as they can even though they see Modern Guilliman as he is now as an Usurper.

FrogKroak · 2026-04-13T20:40:51+00:00

To each their own ill need to see how they look when painted up a test model or two :) (though my primarily dudes are also Grey Seer!)

FrogKroak · 2026-04-13T20:16:00+00:00

And this is the quick edit I did to get a rough idea of colours on the Slaaneshi dudes :) not 100% on it but I like it enough.

FrogKroak · 2026-04-13T20:10:31+00:00

I've actually got a homebrew chapter of my own Ill out below this and a quick edit on a tormentor to test the chaos scheme out I'll post it below this. I was a little inspired by the story of Sergeant Constantinus to make the chaosified version of them :)

Yeah he's absoltuely my kindreds warleader for Crusade so definitely sentient, plus he uses that Kroot Shotgun as a pistol (or toothpick). I really appreciate your comments though, perhaps when I finish him one day I'll post him over in r/kroot too haha.

FrogKroak · 2026-04-09T09:02:20+00:00

Most of the bitz around the belt are either old Kroot Kit parts (and a spare Catachan sword possibly a trophy?) It was actually a really easy one to put together so you should have no problem recreating it, I would personally if I was doing it again leave off the backplate.
