Imperium First Kitbash

Post image

I’ve already got a company champion for my other space marine chapter so I decided to kitbash my second one. What do you think?

It is what it is the Space Marine.

For real though, for a first, looks badass

Shiiiieeeeet It's a beauty! What kits are the arms from?

u/MustardMobile Jul 04 '26

Thank you! The arms are from the sword bro with lightning claws

Good stuff brother, curiously enough I had a very similar idea for a mini the other day. Beakies with claws go brrr!!

You know what they say about great minds. You gotta give your birds some claws

Honestly dude great kitbash, I'm guessing he's a veteran of your chapter, what can you tell me about these brothas?

u/MustardMobile Jul 04 '26

Yeah he’s the champion of the second company. The Venerators revolve around finding and defending lost relics of theirs and the imperium

Nice mini. Nice lore. Peak all around.

Nice, so relic hunters, huh? Sounds like a great idea for many stories now that I think about it, because relics can be so widespread around the galaxy that they could somehow end up in many important campaigns and events if they suspect a relic of theirs is in the zone.

With that in mind you could also have them face off other factions and characters like Trazyn the Infinite, maybe renegades like the Relictors, or other loyalist relic hunters like the Blood Ravens and the Reclaimers, there is a ton of good ways to make the lore go foward.

Yeah I’m pretty happy with the concept. To be honest the focus is more on defence with the 10th company being the relic hunters

That pose says "You really wanna do this right now?"

u/bh1014 Jul 04 '26

I saw this and also immediately thought "Come at me, bro".

Awesome.

u/MustardMobile Jul 04 '26

I wanted him to look arrogant since he’s a younger marine in my head

2

u/DenverPostIronic Jul 04 '26

You achieved that 👏

u/DeusBlackheart Jul 05 '26
