Wait what? Progress?

Wow I forgot.

Well I have been on vacation and I finished harker awhile ago and posted it up on the 40k form. I have just been busy with other stuff and duplicate posting here was just too much. I did snag the new codex about a week early and got to work making my lists I have 4 2000 point lists all running many chimeras and I got a huge Vallajo paint set for graduation from my fiancee's family and I have been painting as soon as a I got back from my vacation. Its fair because she got Sims 3 about 3 hours after we got back. And started on her crafting projects too.

May 9th,

This morning I managed to put together the heavy bolter. All I need to do now is greenstuff it and put my seal of approval on it.



I took the lasgun arm and hacked off the las gun. Then I placed the stubber  receiver in the arm.


I made the gas return out of the tubes of the flamer. Then i drilled out the top tube so the barrel can fit through.


The barrel is a vox caster antenna with the tip cut off and the barrel drilled.


The barrel and the gas return together.


The gun assembled.


The magazine is a simple grenade launcher mag with around 1/4 cut out of it.


Right side.


Left side.


The heavy weapon backpack has basically 2 packs. I made it so the bottom pack is the spare magazine for the heavy bolter.





--- Parts ---
- Metal Cadian sentinel head
- IG body with legs
- Base
- Catchan sentinel left arm
- Catchan lasgun right arm
- Grenade launcher mag with water bottle
- Heavy Weapon Pack
- Bed roll
- Back end of a Heavy Stubber
- Holstered Laspistol
- Purity Seal (Harker's botched Payback Heavy Bolter has to get approved)
- Heavy bolter belt
- Front half of a Grenade launcher
- 2x Front half of flamers.
- 5x Vox Aerials
- Green stuff
- Plastic card

My idea for Harker is to make him look like Animal Mother from full metal jacket. I never thought I would make a Baldwin for 40k.


My idea is to use some flamer parts to make the gas return for the bolter with an areal barrel. The body will be the heavy stubber with a grenade launcher drum mag and this will all be put into the lasgun right arm. The rest will be Catchaned all up.
