My sons' Marines

Yep, passing on the torch. Both my sons have started their own Marine armies and officially have their first units painted:


Lieutenants (That I converted and painted for them as inspiration with their initials):


WIP video game playing Marines. As my boys a big into video games, I was inspired to convert this:

Chaos Predator and Terminators

Black Legion Predator/Rhino:


Terminators from all 5 Space Marine Codices, all with iconic wargear
--Salamander Fire Drake from the main Space Marine Codex
--Deathwing from Dark Angels Codex
--Flesh Tearer successor from Blood Andels Codex
--Wolfguard/Lonewolf from the Space Wolf Codex
and a Grey Knight Terminator

And for Chaos I now have 1 from each codex and 1 from each god-aligned Legion:
--Black Legion, Emperor's Children & World Eater from the main Chaos Marine Codex
--Occult from Thousand Sons Codex
--Blightlord from Death Guard Codex

Armies on Parade entry 2018

Decided to entry my 40K Chess set in this year's Armies on Parade.
I also wanted to showcase some of my "All Legions/Chapters Marines" so I built a 2'x2' display for the Chess board and some additional pieces:


Close up of each side:


Close up of the statue and the Daemons vs GKs:


Bonus: I was goofing around with my camera and Microsoft paint and came up with this:

This is how I might have done this chess project if it didn't first stem from my All Legions project.

UPDATE: Armies on Parade was a success! I won the gold medallion:

Necron Monolith with internal lighting

All Chapters Marines Updated...again

I just can't seem to "finish" this project. Always some new models I want to add.

Salamanders & UltraMarines, now with Landspeeder & Terminator:


Predator and Typhoon alternative builds:


Irons Hands, Imperial Fists (now with missile), Black Templae and Crimson Fist:


Space Wolves (now with Wolf Guard Terminator & Long Fang) and Grey Knights (now with Power Armour Marine)


Blood Angels (now with Death Company Marine) and
Dark Angels with Veteran, Guardian of the Covenant successor, Ravenwing and Deathwing:


I'll also be getting a full group picture of the collection, but until them, here's a update Chess lineup:

Containers, Barrels and Crates

Finished my Munitorum Armoured Containers:


I was actually able to get 4 containers instead of 3 by selectively omitting 1 bottom from 2 of them, and leaving off 1 side from the other 2:


And I put the Barrels and Crates on home-made Pallets:

Necrons - Small "Classic" force

I decided to get a small force of "Classic" Necron models, both as a homage to the Necron armies I once had and as small force to play with my son at home.

Entire Force:


Lych Guard/Overlord and Warriors:


Destoyers. I magnetized the blue one to be either a Heavy or a Destroyer Lord:


And as a special treat, I put together some Destroyers/Tomb Blades made out of some spare bits for my son to paint. I also put together a Canoptek Cryptek as a leader for his models. I've never posted someone else's work, but I am proud to introduce some of the first models my son has ever painted:

Chaos Daemons for my CSM project

I finally got some Daemons to not only add to my CSM project, but also as an homage to my previous Daemon army.

Daemons:


Bloodletter and Daemonette:


Plaguebearer and Horrors:


EDIT: Daemon Prince:

Corsair "tanks" and a few additions for 8th edition

Fire Prisms (top left)and Wave Serpents:

These are converted from the Hornet chasis to represent either Fire Prisms or Wave Serpents (maybe Ravagers too). My Corsairs (originally from Saim-Hann and still closely tied to Craftworld tactics) use less heavy tanks, but have found ways to simulate similar affects as the Fire Prism and Wave serpent by using force shields and web way portal devices.

The Aether sails (probably traded for with their Dark Eldar cousins) project a field around the lighter chasis to give additional protection, essentially making them as tough as the true Craftworld counterparts. When used as a transport, a Web Way device (likely also taken from the Dark Kin) is attached to the lower hull. In this way the vehicle can drop off troops without risking them until needed.

War Walkers & Weapon Platforms:

I finally got a Guardian weapon platform I've been playing for almost a decade without one. I also use some extra bits to scratch build a D-cannon plafrom too.

Autarch Skyrunners w/ Laser lances, Reaper launchers and Banshee masks:
The jetbike Autarch has always been my favorite Eldar HQ. 8th edition finally make them a top choice.

Since I needed Troops for 8th (because my jetbikes no longer fill the role, I'm not bitter), I've started making some Rangers as they fit my "Outcast" theme a bit better.
