Description Well the ball has now starting rolling on my new project with the first two Scarab Occult warriors built. The new tomb kings blades look fantastic and fit on nicely.

I did try to cast the detailed scarabs off the tomb kings stuff but it failed, so I’m going to try creating the scarabs from green stuff and if I’m not happy with that I’ll paint the centre plate gold and paint the details on.

I used the FW Iron Armour and put a piece of plastic tubing where the storm bolter was on the grey knight arms, this will be painted up gold with symbols on I was going to put a gem on it but that made it too bulky. Plus I finally found a part to use for the helmet crest from a dark elf corsair box.

Other details I included was a piece of cloth down the front, which took 3 attempts to get right but I’m confident I’ll get the hang of it. I also converted the back pack into a personal teleporter to represent the deep strike ability, not sure if it works or not so I look forward to your feedback.

This is a brilliant conversion....Not too keen on the personal teleporters, but thats probably due to the model not being painted yet. Would be cool to see one fully painted

no I just order a ton of bits from websites and ebay. If it weren't for those I would have quit the hobby when GW stopped their bits production.

I don't recognise the power armour. Is the armour from an earlier edition?

Elements of Mk. II Crusade armour (early Great Crusade) combined with parts of CSM power armour, it seems. The weapons look like nemesis force weapons with parts from Tomb Kings plastic kits.
