Steel Legion Stormblade

 Over the painting challenge I finished that last units for my Steel Legion Imperial Guard. The crown jewel of the challenge was supposed to be the Stormblade. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to complete it in time, but better late than never. This model isn't actually the Forgewrold one. I found a file on Thingverse for a plasma blastgun and mount to go with the GW stormshadow kit. It took some work to make it fit, but it came out better than I expected it would. The model also includes a few engine pieces and generators from Blood & Skulls Industry. The plasma blastgun probably draws a lot of power so I upgraded the engine to look like some sort of sketchy nuclear engine with associated dynamos. Blood &Skulls bitz fit pretty, but do need some clean up and green stuff work.




I went with yellow lights as it suggests the reactor is heating up, but we're not sure by how much. It'll probably be fin.


Below are the other Steel Legion models I did manage to complete for the painting challenge.

  1. Great work on that tank Mike! I love the third-party bits...makes the weapon look even more unstable and dangerous - and thus, fit even more into the setting.
