Forgeworld Kataigida Secutarii Axiarch
As part of my doubles tournament army I wanted to use some Secutarii. I got a unit of Hoplites done (they are very nearly finished and will be shared soon) and to give them a boost I wanted them to be led by an Axiarch. As there isn’t currently a miniature available for this character I converted one from Inquisitor Greyfax which provided the perfect base due to her long coat. I used a Secutarii head and backpack and now she fits in perfectly.

Forgeworld Kataigida Arch Magos Prime
I hadn’t yet painted an HQ choice for my Horus Heresy Mechanicum Taghmata army and I needed one for the doubles tournament. I’ve always been a fan of the Myrmidon models so I thought one would make the perfect base to build on. I then just needed to convert it to make it look suitably imposing and different from the normal models in the unit. I’m really pleased with the end result which stands out well.

Terrax Pattern Termite Assault Drill
Last week I finished my Termite, ready for the Horus Heresy Doubles Tournament at Warhammer World. I’ve loved this model from the moment I saw it and picked it up earlier this year. It was a pleasure to build and I enjoyed every moment of painting it. I played with the textured technical paints for the first time and used a lot of weathering powder to try and give it a well-used appearance.

Mechanicum Indentured Knight Magaera - Astrapis
It has taken five months worth of my spare time, but I have finally finished my Knight Magaera! I bought this as the Lord of War for my Horus Heresy Mechanicum Taghmata army at Christmas. I’m now taking it to the 40K Doubles Tournament at Warhammer World next month - it was a perfect excuse to get me to finish it.
It was a mammoth project compared to any miniatures I have ever painted before and there were times when it seemed like it would never end. It was magical when it all started coming together though and I really enjoyed trying out some new techniques. I’m more pleased with it then I expected I would be.
With the Knight out of the way my next project is to paint my small Skitarii detachment - which means I will finally be starting the tutorial I promised.
