10. Lions Sanguine Reclusiarch

Lord Deimos, Reclusiarch of the Blood Lions. This ol' Blood Lion has faithfully served the Emperor for the past 200 years as a chaplain and the last 40 years as Reclusiarch. His Crozius Arcanum has crushed the heads and chests of uncounted xenos, mutants and heretics deep within the Auston Segmentum.

The Blood Lions have such faith in the Emperor that they are considered near zealots by some. Lord Deimos has been known to visit nearby star systems to ensure their devotion to the Emperor has not faltered.

Deimos is a 3D printed model from ThatEvilOne, another fine designer from the Maker's Cult. I support both his and TMC on Patreon.

The Blood Lions shoulder pad was a separate print. I knocked off his sigimarine looking pad on the left and replaced it with this one. I love the look of both on opposite sides.

9. Felghast 8th Siege Regiment "The Mighty 8th"

I bought the generic headless Astra Militarum army files from Brexit (of The Maker's Cult fame) over on CGTrader.com. I also used a head from his free files of Imperial Heads on Thingiverse. The result was this wicked looking guardsman. I debated for several days over the name of the regiment and arrived at the "Felghast 8th Siege Regiment, "The Mighty 8th"."

I have more models to printed and assembled ready for priming. I don't know just yet how big I want the force to be but I doubt it will exceed 1,500 points, if that.

 

8. 40K Wall Diorama & Space Marine Poster

The inspiration for this project was born from the Adeptus Astartes poster that I have had for a decade and finally had mounted on blackboard and hung on my wall (see below). Now unlike that poster my wall diorama will not be limited to just the Astartes but will feature models from the different part of the 40K lore that I like and enjoy.

The models stands and background tokens are all 3Dprinted along with some of the models.
