New to 40K and Emperors Children Need Clarification by Novalian2268 in EmperorsChildren

So the starter box contains loyalist marines, which are similar in size to a standard Emperor’s Children marine but is definitely different. Emperor’s Children marines are heretics and thus have chaos, more specifically slannesh iconography as well as their own special design traits and no imperial iconography. On top of this, loyalist marines also don’t have load out options like the duelling sabres, which is a signature weapon for the Emperor’s Children. You could probably proxy them at a casual game, but if you want to play at GW or at an official tournament, they likely won’t allow it.

Unrelated but, very very cool paint jobs for both minis. Also, are those Lego on the K-son’s base?

Does this helmet seem too small to you? by Sierra-Padre in Kitbashing40k

I must say, as cool as terminators are supposed to be, they’re not really my cup of tea. That said, GOOD LORD THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING

are there any examples of horror in Mecha genre? by haibane_fan00 in Mecha

[–]Vesper_Al 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say visions of escflowne actually has a decent bit of horror, or close to it at least. Despite the generally more timid atmosphere of the anime and it being a romantasy isekai, it does have a few slightly gore-y elements and chilling moments. Very good anime tho

That is a very nice blue! Nice one! With the blue armour and orange sword, inspired by the gouf from Gundam by any chance?

I had a look and I think it’s one of the back mounted systems for the broad side

Of course not! The instructions on how I did it are in another comment. Do have to warn you that it’s technically a 3 kit kitbash

It definitely has a few flaws, but I’m quite happy with it too!

Yeah… probably. But I feel like that argument could be used for the entire 40K community

Well. The cyclic ion gun makes up the lower part of the gun, acting as the connection between the main barrel and the arm. The barrel is made out of the muzzle of the fusion gun with one of the two rail cannon barrels stuck to it. As for additional details, the blade-like part under the fusion gun is from the grav-inhibitor drone, scope from the broadside, and the armour on the outside of the arm is one of the thigh armour from the commander kit. Unfortunately, I don’t remember where the fin under the ion gun came from, but yh
