Sons of the Phoenix
Saving a post by Saby on reddit: It should be noted that there are MANY instances of chapters going against their general culture or otherwise using iconography of different parents. But they are Sons of the Phoenix. Additionally, there is a whole argument between Cawl and Gulliman in the Great Work (I think) that debates the…
Up next, Genestealers
So next up, I have to decide on the Genestealer color scheme. I already have 3 other color schemes: Last year’s Cthulhu stealers. 11 Stealers with the Ygmirl heads. The stealers from a few years ago. Not sure what I was thinking. I had been painting right on the plastic. I must have read that…
Basing for the Terminators
Decided to do the basing the way I did it last time. Plasticard and plastic tubes/pipes painted up. The big question is what colors and aging do I do. And do I have to match the boarding actions. I decided I don’t, as they won’t match all maps, just to go with it. To that…

Update on Imperial Fists
The base colors are down. I got the look I am going for, and I sealed them with varnish. I haven’t done any highlights, and I need to go back and touch up spots. Drill out barrels and apply the metalics on weapons, but I have made some progress. The Librarian I am still trying…
