Sector Mechanicus Thermic Plasma Conduit variation

Admittedly, I haven’t been sure what to call this post, as in most ways it’s simply more Thermic Plasma Conduits, or a variation on them at most. I’ve simply assembled the “control panel” pieces using “mirror”-parts rather than the “opposite” side, thought he kits are obviously designed to fit together any way you like. I’ve also used some offcuts from the damaged conduits I created recently, as well as a spare pipe/fan piece from the other kits.

Still, it makes for an interesting enough little variation on the theme, and can be used as a transitional piece to the pipes/conduits I’ll be painting up in a similar cream/white scheme later on. I’m happy with it as it’s diffferent enough to be interesting but still low-key enough to not overwhelm models on the tabletop.

40k "Hero Base" Objective Marker

Another quickie. As with the end of last month, I’m firing off lots of smaller posts rather than one mega-post because:

  1. I prefer smaller posts that can be quickly written, read, etc rather than creating novellas.
  2. More importantly, it makes it much easier for me to locate stuff and reference things in the future.

So anyway, Games Workshop proiduce a pair of kits with rather bombastic hero bases for their 40k and Age of Sigmar games. I’m not super keen on bases that place a model in too much of a particular spot. I prefer “anytime anywhere” bases rather than “specific moment captured in time” bases, and so this destroyed Leman Russ turret doesn’t really work well for me as a model base, but luckily it does work well for me as an Objective Marker. So that’s what I did with this one. That’s also why I’ve left it sans markings, to keep it a more generic piece rather than attached to any specific army. I really need to get my Imperial Guard models out to the War Room, and maybe even post them up here as an army when I get some time. Maybe I’ll have time to do that over the summer break, because I sure as fuck won’t be going to the beach this year!
