Thanks. Still a lot of work to do. Lots of transfers, details to pick out, basing to finish. But they're just about acceptable for the table as they are.

I think Russ is keen to run another Heresy event in the near future so hopefully that'll be a weekend you can make it.

As you're just using them for basing I'd say you're probably good with using whatever bits TBH. But I'm more about getting the feel right rather than being a total stickler for details.

It sorta depends. A few Legions started to get a bit weird pre-Istvaan III. Some didn't show any corruption until after Istvaan V and some weren't spikey until in to the Long War. And then there's the Night Lords...

Thanks, I try my best to take some nice pictures. We're quite lucky that the crowd that turns up to these events all seem to have fantastic armies.
January 18, 2026 at 7:51 PM
And some army parade snaps. Only one new unit here. But a lot of the other units are more complete than last time I took them out.

And part 2.

Yeah I'm currently thinking these and the new Emperor's Children minis mashed together along with some other odds and ends would make some cool Emperor's Children for Siege of Terra.

They're going to be really useful for Heresy too. Great for traitor Legions later in the Heresy, chaosy but not too chaosy.

Space pirate with a space peg leg is definitely a cool mini.

I'm a fan of the design for sure. I've even built the classic version from the White Dwarf templates for my Novamarines. Here pictured with @wib.bsky.social 's lovely Lamenters version (lovely in that its well painted. Lamenters aren't lovely. Boo Badab secessionist)

Also I totally called it right three months ago when this was sneakily put in the new Legions Imperialis book 😂 Not even subtly it's a whole page image.

Fulmentarus terminators. Which lore wise are Guilliman's improved version of the Tyrant Siege terminators so kinda? 😄

The new legs and bodies but a lot of 3D printed parts as well.

Thanks. I'm busy trying to get it a bit more finished before the weekend for some more games so should be taking more pictures soon.

Yeah Ultras are a bit unique for a loyalist Legion that made changes to their iconography as the Heresy goes on.

But it's the biggest Legion and despite being very regimented probably has a huge amount of variation so do what you feel looks cool.

These are my 4th Chapter Aurorians.

Red heads for sgts is a post Calth thing. And potentially only for Chapters that were at Calth.

White can be used as a veteran colour but doesn't seem all that universally used. Does look cool though.

Unlike a lot of other Legions black seems to be mostly used for Destroyers.

They're the new MkII plastics with some 3D printed heads.
