Betrayal at Calth update: Captain in Terminator armour

Hey everybody! It's time for another Betrayal at Calth update. This time I'm going to show you the terminator captain with a little ccw replacement:)

The one to rule them all... but bigger and better!

You may remembermy previous Chaos Lord from Dark Vengeance set. He is the Lord of the Thousand Sons and I named him Kronos the Desecrator. Few weeks ago I bought myself a new Lord - the CSM Lord in Terminator Armour, my first "bigger" independent character.

Change of plans

There was a thing about which I have thought for a long time now - it's my Space Marine Chapter, the Übermarines. I'm not so happy with them, they lack something, they lack lore, originality, their "spirit". They seem a little boring to me and also they are succesors of the Ultramarines - I respect them, but I don't like them too much. And because all of that I've decided to start making another chapter, but I didn't know which one. Well, I didn't know until the release of Skitarii.

Some of you might know already which chapter I've decided to pick - yes, it's the Iron Hands, one of the original twenty legions, the first one to lose the Primarch and one which is most ignored and forgotten among the Space Marine players.

Why them? It's all because of the Adeptus Mechanicus! And now I can have brand new units of Skitarii which will be aided by Iron Hands, Chapter which is in close relations with Ad Mechs!

And here he is, the first of my Iron Hands!

Hellbrute getting dirty

I always have this dilemma - to leave a model perfectly clean, beautiful, fresh without a scratch, or rather make it look like it took a part in a battle... But since Hellbrute is a great killing machine I couldn't leave it in such perfect condition!

Faithful servant of Tzeentch

Since I'm collecting a Thousand Sons warband, Templars of Syrinx, a sorcerer is a must have! I had luck to order metal CSM Sorcerer with Force Sword just before he disappeared from the store. It took me about 6 months to start painting this model, and before that I decided to convert him a bit.

Brute strenght and furious violence

I've been looking forward to this day since I bought the Dark Vengeance starter set - to convert and paint the Hellbrute, the chaotic counterpart of the Imperial Dreadnought or rather something what used to be it in the past.

This model is my first serious conversion - I didn't want this hellbrute to end up as a standard DV Hellbrute with powerfist and multimalta - I really wanted to create something unique and that's why I've changed the head of the Marine inside of this machine and the main weapon.
