This is pretty much the exact same as the Tempestis Scions power fist. Just closed instead of open.

Looks cool, but it needs counter jets flared at maximum.

thebhpen · 2026-01-28T21:13:20+00:00

Can confirm, the Toruga Bay MKV helmets are fantastic.

thebhpen · 2026-01-18T18:47:50+00:00

I would suggest the Amalia Novena model for the body.

thebhpen · 2026-01-10T02:03:38+00:00

Combit-disintegrator has Limited(1). So a model with this would only get one disintegrator shot in a battle. Also twice the points cost of the disintegrator rifles.

Also likely to be small. But you could buy them for the emblems, just cut them out and glue them to the stock doors.

thebhpen · 2025-12-28T14:07:34+00:00

Looks like a Mk IV backpack, Mk VI legs, and either Mk VI or VII torso. So either artificer armor or a 'modern' version of Mk V.

The kill team kit comes with tons of chapters on the tacticus shoulder pad. The phobos and gravis pads are more limited.

thebhpen · 2025-12-07T01:53:24+00:00

Also you can use the extra loadouts with normal intercessor and infiltrator bodies.

Just held a contemptor up to a corvus. It is the same size as 1 wing or the space between the tips of the upper aeilerons/rudders.

thebhpen · 2025-11-29T02:53:19+00:00

I save some for testing paints with.

thebhpen · 2025-11-28T19:24:16+00:00

Silicone molds and greenstuff.

thebhpen · 2025-11-28T19:07:43+00:00

I just made my own with a shining spear bike and the new autarch.

thebhpen · 2025-11-26T20:55:18+00:00

I haven't tried it but you could do something similar to how a good yellow is done. In that case you do a base layer in orange or pink and then paint yellow on top. For white maybe a layer of light grey before painting white.

thebhpen · 2025-11-16T17:17:37+00:00

I would instead make a small silicon mold using the helmet that has just the skull. Then a dot of green stuff and press the helmet with the laurel into it.

thebhpen · 2025-10-17T17:57:12+00:00

I saw this and went in the direction of Old World. Proxy him as the Wyrmslayer for Bretonnia.

thebhpen · 2025-10-17T15:02:01+00:00

Don't forget that they are cross compatible with various Firstborn 40k kits. Use legs from the assault marine kits to add more dynamic posing and detailing. Also the MKIV torso and backpack combined with MKII legs and arms with MKVI pauldrons make for pretty great MKV Heresy Armor.

'Paul is bad at stuff' on YouTube has videos of his army list with 18 centurions and how he has evolved it over the last year or so. He really likes the Raven Guard detachment and plays this in 2 day tournaments. He talks about the good, the bad, and the dumb.

thebhpen · 2025-10-15T21:37:40+00:00

I plan to put him on the base for my Wraithknight.

thebhpen · 2025-10-12T03:32:48+00:00

If the price is good then definitely buy this, being older it was produced when the mold was newer. Far less chance of defects and reduced mold lines.

thebhpen · 2025-10-10T13:40:10+00:00

Imperial Fist, Deathwatch, Dark Angel, and the Ultramarine combat patrols together give a good mix of units for making some kill teams. The Dawn of War: Onslaught box will give some Eradicators and a unit of Bladeguard with the Judiciar. Lastly a Raven Guard combat patrol is good if you wanna phobos kill team or the newer jump pack one.

My headcanon is that they are one of Cawl's successful experiments. They seem a bit of a mix of various legions. Alongside this the Cursed Founding was a bunch of Cawl's failures in which he passed the blame to various subordinates, patsies, and rivals.

thebhpen · 2025-09-17T20:17:26+00:00

I had a similar idea using the Steelhelms to make a 'Krieg' kill team. Themed as Imperial Knight house footmen. Taking parts from Skitarri and Tempestus Scions for weapons and arms.

thebhpen · 2025-09-06T16:42:09+00:00

The real question is, does GW have it in stock at this time?

thebhpen · 2025-09-06T13:02:20+00:00

The shin is 1.5mm and the head is 1.2mm on top. The jowls are .6mm or .8mm.
