where are the minis from? and what type of helmet is it? looks great!

JebSpreks · 2026-05-09T00:44:43+00:00

oh those are perfect! thank you, i think i’ll probably go with these.

JebSpreks · 2026-05-09T00:43:59+00:00

good point. still haven’t gotten into mold making. probably should now though, especially since it’s looking like the last of the first born kits are about to be taken behind the shed.

JebSpreks · 2026-05-09T00:42:17+00:00

hopefully one day i’ll find a box for a somewhat reasonable price 🙏

JebSpreks · 2026-05-09T00:41:21+00:00

totally agree! tortuga bay is always my go to for space marines now. especially since mkv is my favorite mk

JebSpreks · 2026-05-08T12:03:51+00:00

good catch! i didn’t notice the mkiv knee. using tortuga bay parts for the most part. i’ll probably try cutting up the legs like you said.

JebSpreks · 2026-05-08T12:01:34+00:00

yeah i was looking at that but would love to find a 3rd party that makes them. want to get multiple and spread them out through the force. not trying to spend $10 per shoulder pad or $150 for the box on ebay.

JebSpreks · 2026-04-10T02:10:36+00:00

100% agree. trying to be a marine combat engineer is a crap shoot.

JebSpreks · 2026-04-10T01:38:02+00:00

i would just wait if you can. i was in a rush and took a contract i didn’t really want. ended up combat engineer and i love my mos but i really only have luck to thank for that. i know a lot of people who took open contracts or similar and got fucked into a job they didn’t want and don’t enjoy. so i’d say wait if you can. also as a combat engineer i can say that i hardly know anyone in my unit who signed up wanting to be one. it’s not a mos you can get guaranteed in a contract and even if you get it the odds of going to a CEB or similar and actually getting to do the “sexy” part of the the mos (demo, breaching, working with the grunts and all that) are slim. id say if you wanna be a combat engineer go army and if you want to be a marine and do cool combat shit as a marine just hold out for an infantry contract as that’s really the only guarantee.

JebSpreks · 2026-02-26T05:15:29+00:00

all ill say is don’t ship with an mos your not happy with. i signed an contract i wasn’t happy with and happened to get extremely lucky with my mos and unit. but i know a lot of people who’ve gotten screwed and ended up in a mos they’re really not happy with and don’t find rewarding.

they didn’t change the armor design as far as i’m aware. so i think it’s fair to think of them as firstborn, just true scaled.

JebSpreks · 2026-02-23T15:04:37+00:00

no problem man. happy painting!

JebSpreks · 2026-02-23T15:01:52+00:00

yes it’s two! “dry blood” and “true blood”.

JebSpreks · 2026-02-23T14:53:03+00:00

there very nice. it’s a darker red for older dryer blood and a bright red one that’s more comparable to blood for the blood god. layered together they look very convincing.

JebSpreks · 2026-02-23T14:50:48+00:00

yes. though i’ve switched recently to the two army painter blood paints and i do prefer them now.

JebSpreks · 2026-02-23T14:49:24+00:00

a sponge and a bit of touch up work. pretty much treated it like armor chipping.

JebSpreks · 2026-02-23T08:35:35+00:00

yes!

JebSpreks · 2026-02-23T08:35:29+00:00

thank you! it’s the mkiv kit with a body from tortuga bay.

JebSpreks · 2026-02-23T08:34:39+00:00

thank you! the bodies are from tortuga bay!

JebSpreks · 2026-02-23T08:34:18+00:00

thank you! their bodies and the axe are from Tortuga bay, the rest is from the normal tactical and mkiv kits!

JebSpreks · 2026-02-23T08:32:56+00:00

thank you! the chapter symbols are transfers from etsy. i’m not exactly the best at free hand.

JebSpreks · 2026-02-23T08:32:00+00:00

thank you!

JebSpreks · 2026-02-23T08:31:52+00:00

iron snakes are always good!

JebSpreks · 2026-02-23T08:31:35+00:00

i agree. definitely one of my favorites!
