Tyrant’s Legion and Salvagers

 I managed to add a few more units to the Tyrant’s Legion. As mentioned before, the more elite units are called Armsmen and their rules a quite flexible. They can be upgraded with carapace armour and an assortment of special and heavy weapons. They basically operate as Imperial Guard stormtroopers. Several years ago I managed to snag a pile of the old metal storm troopers from 3rd edition. I had no viable plan for them, but they’re some of my favourite gw sculpts. With my Tyrants legion project they finally found a purpose. I painted enough for two full squads with a few extra to round out the squads with heavy bolters and auto cannons. The heavy weapon troopers are from Mad Robot Miniatures who made a fairly faithful representation of the original models.

Next up is a group of space salvage workers from Anvil Industry. These are 3d prints in 28mm scale. Curt demonstrates the came scrap jacks at Prairiecon and I decided to pick up my own crew shortly after. Crew members can have different trades which I represented with different colours. Blue for medical, ochre for mechanics, purple for electronics and green for security.

The rest of my submissions to the painting challenge

 Here are the rest of the submissions I made to the painting challenge which ended March 21st at midnight. I painted a few more units for the Tyrant’s Legion, but there are a few other random bits for 40k guard and some vehicle for Xenos Rampant.

Astral Claws Retaliators

Tyrant’s Legion Hellhound

Brotherhood of Steel Vertibird

3d print - Transport truck for New California Republic 

3d print - Tank for NCR

40k Officer of the Fleet

Command Squad Standard Bearer

40k Guard Ordnance Officer

This is one of the better outings I’ve had for the annual painting challenge. I made a real dent in the Tyrant’s Legion and only have a few more human units to finish before I dig into the Astral Claws. However, I will probably finish the rest of the vehicles I collected for the Executioners first.

Submissions for the Painting Challenge

 Here are my submissions for the 16th Analogue Hobbies Painting Contest. Most of my entries have been for my Badab War Tyrant's Guard army project. Enjoy!

Legion Auxilia

Turrets to swap out my steel legion chimeras

2 Leman Russ and a Thunderer tank.

I did a brief detour into another project of mine related to the fallout games. Using Horus Heresy models and some appropriate bits on Etsy and elsewhere, I've recreated/reinterpreted T-51b power armour from the Fallout video games.
