To demonstrate my complete inability to complete any project, I present my 40K (and later 30K) work in progress.

First, a bit of background. When Rogue Trader came out I bought the box set RTB01 and split it with a friend (not sure if it was supposed to have a Cyberman and dalek sprue in the box).

I was not impressed with the hunched pose and strange short barreled guns so they got put to one side. I also bought the triple box of Rhinos and the Land Raider (that is still not assembled).

Interest in 40K was rekindled in the mid '90s with the new plastics but the original Womble helmet still appealed, so my Ultramarines have the now Mark VI helmet. I am still using the helmets off the RTB01 sprues (I picked up a number at Vapnatak in the late '90s).

So, first an Assault Womble Sergeant.

This was dug out of the figure box now over five years ago, after being photographed it went back and has not had the shoulder pad tidied.

I used an original RTB01 power glove for that retro look.

I do like the mk6 helmet. Nice take on the classic LotD paint scheme too. :)

The Venerable Bede.




Built from the basic plastic Dreadnought with bits from the Black Templar vehicle sprue including the sarcophagus cover and that sword/icon combo.

This was before the Venerable Dreadnought kit was available.

Ultramarine Commander.


Starting with a Space Marine Commander, I used a chest piece from a Tactical Marine and a Womble head from the same source. I smoothed off the centre of the chest piece and added a etched brass Ultramarine logo. The right handed  power sword from the assault marine set and a left handed pistol arm provided the arms, the Storm Bolter replaced the pistol for that extra firepower. The commander backpack was topped with the Ultramarine icon. A set of pouches and a purity seal finished off the figure.

One day I will get round to finishing this.

Ultramarine box



After nearly thirty years, it is not much to show...

The top five on the left are Forgeworld mark VI, the two bottom right are RTB01 torsos on the second batch of plastic marines (torsos with fixed helmets).
