About the Project
After getting the family into playing RPGs it was only a matter of time before my son got into 40K. He's collected a small force of Ultramarines and now wants some characters. After seeing how much the characters cost I decided they could be Kitbashed.

This Project is Completed
Finished Kitbashing
Now that the characters are assembled I’m going to try and get some paint on them. Going to aim for a table ready standard but some might just get a base coat and wash. It depends on how much I can do before my son’s birthday. (They are one of his birthday presents) Then once he’s ready / can be bothered. he can finish off the painting.
Once he gets his hands on them I will discover how well I glued and pinned all the bits together!?
I must admit I’m not looking forward to painting space marines. Although it should make them look more complete.
It’s also going to be a bit of a challenge painting them in the car on my lunch break.
Painted one
I just about had time to prime the characters ready for my son’s birthday. I also painted one up to be ‘Table Ready’.
(I kept to my tradition of pebble dashing 10% of the miniatures I primed)
I got to test out painting minis in my car. This was OK except the lighting quality was very poor. Not having a portable lamp is a problem.
It’s been interesting Kitbashing space marines. The size of them really helps. They are alot easier to work with than Halflings!
But I’m probably not going to be doing anymore.
