Space Hulk: Flesh Tearers

So I have managed to blu tack together most of the minatures. I’ve gone for the same weapon loadouts  as the miniatures are equipped with in the box. What’s left to do are the two sergeants and the librarian. It may take me a bit of time to sort these out as I want to look around for what character models equipped with cataphractii armour are available with the potential to convert.

I’ve also got flesh tearer cataphractii shoulder pads from shapeways and some other ones on order to kit them out.

I will need to sort out poses and clean all the mold lines etc up but I think I’m going to paint them in bits and them assemble them after.

I got hold of a copy of the re-release in 2014 (I think?) and despite playing it I’ve never got around to painting any of the minatures. I’ve been playing it a bit more recently and thought it would be cool to have a 3D board to play with. That’s a bit too big of a project to take on at the moment so I decided to re-create the Space Marine miniatures in my favourite ‘Red Thirst’ suffering chapter, the Flesh Tearers.

I’m a big fan of the cataphractii armour so have decided to field them in this. To recreate the squads I need to build and paint minatures armed in the following way;

storm bolter and chainfist x 1 Terminator

storm bolter and power fist x 5 Terminator

heavy flamer and power fist x 1 Terminator

assault cannon and power fist x 1 Terminator

twin lightning claws x 1 Terminator

sgt storm bolter and power sword x 1

sgt thunderhammer and storm shield

Librarian force axe and storm bolter
