Badab War
Sharknado!
It wouldn’t be the Badab War without the Carcharodon Astra, or Space Sharks in low Gothic. This is the sergeant of an assault squad currently being painted. The mini itself is from 1993/94, 2nd edition era, and is all lead, except for the claw that I added in place of the original power fist. I remember painting him up originally as a Blood Angel, but I think he has now found his true calling. The scale is well off current minis, but I have given him a bigger base and raised him up a bit to try and hide it. It’s not like GW scale is consistent anyway. I will be using Primaris Marines in this project alongside old lead minis. They won’t be Primaris in my games, but as the minis are as big as Space Marines should have been anyway, I am just going to mix it all together.
Great stuff. I am a big fan of the Badab War, especially the tragic conflict between the Minotaurs and Lamenters. I painted up a small vingette of the struggle on board the Mater Lacrimarum in the Optera V quadrant. Keep it up. I’m really enjoying the work here.
Thanks! There’s a lot of scope to the project which I hope will keep me interested.
