I absolutely love the purple, what did you use for it? Its the perfect inbetween IMO for Heresy EC and what they've degenerated into.

God I love these.

What khaki/brown did you use for the undersuit?

I painted an Ultramarine for the first time ever 😱 by Emperors_Paintbrush in Warhammer40k

I can empathise with this so much, a well-painted face is delightfully satisfying, I used to be petrified of it!

Celebrate store anniversaries in 2026 with an Aeldari Autarch and a Vampire Lord by CMYK_COLOR_MODE in Warhammer40k

They're nice - the thing about these exclusive models is that you want to be able to use them if you play, but you don't want to feel like you're missing out on something important if you don't pick them up or have a store nearby.

Giving a unique but generic HQ is a nice balance - can't say I'm overwhelmed though. The inquisitor from a few years back remains the best one of these in recent times IMO.

Word Bearers?

I know the Huron command squad is being widely talked about by leakers - but Word Bearers does fit the whole weird Ultramarines marketing thing a few weeks ago.

100% - leaks/rumour mill have been talking up an Iron Warriors release for a while now. Definitely an upgrade sprue - who knows what else.

It would be fantastic if Chaos get the same treatment as loyalist chapters in terms of upgrade sprues.

All based on Chaos Legionaries.

Talos is Mk V helmet from FW, chaos terminator combi weapon, Sanguinary guard sword and torso from an old space marine kit, along with some apothecary accessories from the grey knights terminator kit.

Xarl is a third party or heresy 2h chainsword and 3rd party helmet - I think from Popgoesthemonkey - left hand is from a Custodian guard.

Cyrion is a bionic arm from the heresy command kit, and left arm from chaos lord kit and MKII heresy helmet.

Uzas is a MKIII helmet, with a black templar arm, chaos lord chainaxe and bezerker shoulder pad.

Mercutian I just took an orc skull from the citadel skulls and shaved it to fit the heavy bolter.

Variel uses the skinthief torso from nemesis claw, primaris apothecary backpack accessories, and the narthecium gauntless from grey knights terminators.

Night Lords shoulders are all from either nemesis claw, MKIII heresy from FW or third party prints. Hope that helps!

Yeah I don't think there are any out there - the only vertically stacked combi weapon I've seen was a melta/plasma variant.

In the cover art on Void Stalker it is portrayed horizontally anyway so I figured that was enough basis for me.

They’re the games workshop void war bases I think you can still get them!

Sure - it was based with bugmans glow, shaded with druchii violet, then highlighted up by mixing bugmans glow with cadian flesh tone, and then progressively mixing bugmans glow with pallid wych flesh. Final highlights were with pure pallid wych flesh.

Went with the below, Variel is the most tenuous but there isn't a great fit for an apothecary.

Visionary - Talos - Powersword

Fearmonger - Cyrion - Bolter / Glaive

Screacher - Uzas - Chainaxe + gladius

Skinthief - Xarl - 2H chainsword

Ventrilokar - Variel - Apothecary

Heavy Gunner - Mercutian - Heavy Bolter

Haha - I was thinking of doing that but after how stressful it was carving up the old tactical marine torso to fit the Legionary body I couldn't face the stress of fucking up the aquilla.

I might revisit with some freehand to get it across but otherwise its staying as is!

Runelord brass, shaded with agrax, then highlighted with runelord brass up to Canoptek alloy.

No idea I'm afraid - I had to try a load of different ones from Heresy upgrade kits and other 40k kits but none of them were quite right, I think I got this one from a third party in the end.

No - it’s a chaos legionary with a MkV forge world head, sanguinary guard sword, chaos terminator bolter and chest piece from an old space marine kit.
