  • Space Marine Techmarine (Command Group)

    Space Marine Techmarine (Command Group)

    This Games Workshop Warhammer 40K Techmarine was released as part of the Company Command box set a month before 3rd edition hit, give or take – which would put him at being released in late 1998. Still using the same metal backpack as the older 2nd Ed. Techmarines, his sculpt is a mirror of the Captain with Terminator Honours and various others. It’s a 1998 Jes Goodwin sculpt.

    In the 2004 US catalogue this miniature is part number 010110305 with backpack 010107503 and axe/hand 010110306.

    A 360 degree video:

    Painted around October 2021. I was painting the metal guys up as a Raven Guard successor when I got him, so he has been stripped for repainting in blue. The RG successor scheme:

    All painted using Scale75 with the exception of some washes and a contrast – in the scheme of a Raven Guard sucessor that is as yet unnamed. Back when I was playing 2nd. Ed I called them the Harbingers, but that name is actually a canon chapter now (perhaps it was then too) so I need to find another.

  • Spider Tyranid aka Big Squig 2

    Spider Tyranid aka Big Squig 2

    This was a 1990 Kev Adams sculpt and has “Spider Tyranid” on the tab. It can be found in the 1992 catalogue under “Big Squig 2”.

    I think this is the first Tyranid I have ever painted. It looks as though it appears twice in the Advanced Space Crusade rulebook (1990) – once on p.35 (left):

    On p.57 there is some fluff text which seems like it describes the critter, along with another drawing of one that’s quite similar:

    Painted 4th May 2026:

    • Undercoat: Vallejo Grey Primer
    • Skin: Kimera’s Ivory Light, Shiny Skintone, Middle Brown, Pale Carmine Red, Pumpskin
