Rogue Trader 8th Edition?

So, along with many many other started and in progress projects, I've decided to dust off more 10,000 year old Rogue Trader Traitor Marines to get started on.  With the new Thousand Sons having access to lots of flamers, I thought a whole unit of them would work, and look cool.

These have the lower bodies of old Tzeentch Flamers, even the champion's power fist will actually be somewhat useful now.  The old descriptions of Flamers have them bounding around on their flaming fungus bodies, so I have tried to mimic that with raising them off the base a little with posts.



I'm also trying out some new basing methods with these guys.  They are on 32mm laser cut mdf basses with cork that I am going to carve some more detail into.  I added some old GW resin basing pieces that I will try to blend into the rest of the base with some sand and paste.




Now to let the glue dry and start another project......

Slaaneshy Rhino Start

Even with 8th Edition dropping in a few weeks, I've decided to keep plowing on with my Chaos Space Marines that I've been kicking around since 2nd Edition.  My Noise Marines have never had a dedicated Rhino before, so I got started on one.





The side doors and front plate are from Kromlech. I really like them, but they do take a bit of finagling to get into place.  I had to shave a bit off the bottom of the side doors with a hobby knife and I was to worried to put the front plate on without some support under it.  The gaps I've tried to fill with green stuff and put a partial skin on the top...that will be getting some more attention before the priming commences.

Hellbrutes

I've been working on these Hellbrutes for a minute.  I grabbed a bunch off of Ebay when everyone was getting rid of their Dark Vengeance and kit bashed a couple of them with some extra bits.  Three are modded a little, one has an extra power fist and one has three magnetized weapon options just in case.





Still have some layers of paint to go and the bases to finish.
