Sergeants Pandarus and Dar'es

Same for these two guys, I really like them but I feel something is missing, any thoughts?

First Tribune Silvius Alba

I have nearly finsished this guy I need to get some more detail on him but I dont want to over do it, I'am quite pleased how he has turned out but cant help but feel he needs something more.







The heads and shields are from maxmini.eu and the bases are from dragonforge.

Colour Scheme Mk2

Hey guys its been a while since Ive posted, have been busy with work but I have also been busy with the COA, I have finished two Sergeants and my terminator captain, pictures will follow very shortly ( I haven't got a good enough camera, so a friend will be taking some pictures for me). Anyway in the mean time here's an update of my colour scheme, I have ordered the eagle decals in red and I'm hoping they turn up soon. Till the next time.



I really like the white colour scheme, but I'm finding it very hard to paint. I start with a base coat of Calth brown, Fortress grey and Foudation white and then build it up using the white. I'am trying to blend it, althougth I'm either not getting it right or I'm running out of patience, any tips guys?

The First Exodite

Have finally got my ass in gear and started putting these guys together. I received the tribe of the black lotus heads and shields from Maxmini.eu, and these bits are amazing. They fit perfectly for SM head swaps and will only need a little bit of green stuffing to fill in the open face portion of the helms.










I wanted to reposition the legs, so i chopped them up at the joints and drilled through each section before threading fuse wire through and gluing them in place. I am reasonably happy with the pose although the right foot needs a little work. I intend to model some greaves out of plasticard which will cover some of the roughness up, and I will green stuff the links between the armour. Like I said the helm will need a little work, but I'm very pleased with the scale of it. I got the brass rod spears of ebay very cheaply not sure if I'm going to use it on the finished model, I'm going to try some Dark Elf ones first.

As always let me know what you think

Chapter Symbol

Have been looking for a chapter symbol and an easy way of representing it on my models and have found this great historical wargaming website www.3vwargames.co.uk who do lots of historical transfers. I am musing over a few design, but this one I like.


I have asked if they will do it in a dark blue.

The Odyssey begins

After the long and arduous progress of surgery, mental indoctrination and training by the Talon Knights. The Exodites were declared combat effective and were added to the list of active Astartes Chapters on great Terra.
The ceremonial commissioning of the Exodites was conducted on the bridge of the battle barge Propontis. High above Umbriaria, Numikas presented the Great Spear of Illum and the shield of Prophecy to Ascanius, ordaining him as Legate of the Children of Aeneas, Astartes.
On completion of the ceremony, and once the distinguished guests had departed, Ascanius slumped in his command chair, removed his ceremonial open faced helmet and gazed intently at his gauntleted hands, his voice drew out slowly, deep and bold but without anger,
Brothers the time has come, we now have the tools, we are favoured, vengeance shall be ours.
The command team looked at each other expectantly.
He turned his weary gaze to his navigator, his grey-green eyes boring into the man, Set course for Cannakkali.
The Navigator clicked his heels and span to pass the order.

The people of Umbrairia, were confused and outraged they couldnt understand where the Astartes fleet had gone.
Numikas feared he made a most fatal mistake as he watched the Exodite fleet depart from low anchor in the Azure skies. Communications and challenges were dispatched, the only ansewer bieng silence. The planatary defence grid flashed to life, targeting the wayward vessels. But Numikas stayed his hand and let the decendants of Aeneas depart to their destiny.

A tear ran down Ascanius's proud face as his fleet dropped out of reality and away from the light of the Imperium.
