These last ten Seekers complete the squad and the last of the White Scars. What a journey!
This was a nice, large project featuring a variety of figures and lots of unique bits. I got to paint Horus Heresy vehicles, flyers, and a completely themed Space Marine army that I got to see through from start to end. And let’s not forget the Orks and Mechanicum who got some love in this commission as well.
The next commission is Harelquins and their diamond patterns.
Update: all the Destroyers now have at least a pair of grenades. Some are painted like the Rad grenades a couple Seekers have.

The first half of the Seekers are done. I think these are the only true infantry I’ve done for the White Scars. Everyone else has been either on a bike, with a jump pack, or was a robot. Some daggers, pistols, and grenades have been added as well. They are looking quite formidable. 10 more to go.

The other 5 models in this units are done. One of them is the sergeant with a power halberd. The body was originally an Imperial Fist torso with an insignia. I filed it off and sculpted on the Roman numeral instead. I think it blends in well and looks great.
All that’s left is a block of 20 Seekers.

First batch of Destroyers done. Double pistols are alternate bolt pistols with drum magazines and plasma pistols. Alternate jump packs and melta bombs attached, they are ready for some pew pew.

A couple of fine looking Leviathan Dreadnoughts are done! These particular vehicles, like the Xiphons, get some simple tribal markings all over the hull. Naturally, I also cover it all up in weathering. However, I decided to try something new this time and one of the Dreadnoughts doesn’t have as much mud splattering as the other.
Narratively, I think the dirtier Leviathan is piloted by a Space Marine who preferred to frolic in mud more than the cleaner one. Or maybe the dirtier one just happens to be further ahead in the chaos during this battle in the trenches and mud.
Lastly, there is a small update on the Apothecaries. I repainted the loincloths red instead of the cool blue.

There are two Apothecaries that are assigned to the army. Naturally, they get jump packs for more efficient door-to-door surgery. They also get fancy squiggly spears. I think the next White Scars minis will be the dreadnoughts.

These were a relatively fast batch. Only 9 in this unit. The Ursarax are done! I really like the saturated yellow on these. It’s so vibrant and eye-catching. There is plenty of blood splatter to imply how many infantry they turned to paste.

I did a batch of these with pointy claws in the last Mechanicum commission and now more are needed, but with power paws. Hazard yellow with black accents and a good amount of iron and brass. You can tell they’ve gone to work already due to the blood splatters. I’m told a squad of these are a terror on the battlefield.
For the first time in forever, I have recorded my painting on one of the Ursarax. Over the next little while, I will be editing that video and posting it on Youtube. Hopefully, my new desk setup and lighting work out so the footage is usable.

With the completion of the bolter bikes, the Outriders are now complete. They all have some sort of power weapon, I think they are going to be used as some sort of special weapons unit.
Included is also the Warlord on bike. He is the one doing a wheelie and has a glaive. I was also asked to paint some eagles and one of them is attached to a base. It looks like it’s going to be some kind of marker during the game.
The next batch for this commission will be some Mechanicum models, but they are getting prepped for painting, so I will be painting more Harlequins right now.

The next few bikes are done. They’re the first of the bolter bikers and are equipped with fancy weapons.
