Adeptus Astartes - Blog Posts

Part of the 501st legion's Clastartes, Alad is a high ranking clastartes and part of the required cataphractii guard for their jedi general, Anakin Skywalker. Wearing cataphractii Commando armor, Alad wields a terrifying Grevious Claw and a single hand Heavy Boltblaster. Alad is silent, deadly, and has faced various foes in service of the Republic.

Yup yup! Each Jedi general in this au have a group of cataphractii guards and this is a member of Anakin Skywalker's. Having a very small bit of Naboo-inspired decor and demeanor, these lads are just as unorthodox as their general lol.

Ah yes. I come out of stasis to yeet you... the Clastartes! (name is still a work in progress htf does one mix CLONE TROOPERS with ADEPTUS ASTARTES?) Essentially, they're my take on a 40k Star Was Crossover. Pls take this with a grain of silliness. This is all in good fun.

Any type of Astartes Armor

Dreadnoughts are voluntary services and come in all Frames

Weapons are called Bolt Blasters (Heavy Boltblaster for example)

Geneseed is derived from their Jedi Generals

Jedi’s personality and culture rubs off on the Clastartes

Clastartes make up about ⅓ of every Clone Trooper force

Clastartes are made from an early cadet

Grown Clones can’t become Clastartes due to the enhanced aging

Clastartes organs and modifications slow down aging and shut down the Inhibitor chips

Honor Guards are built for each Jedi General

Coruscant Guard are more connected to the Jedi due to the rules of the Geneseed, thus are connected to Cin Drallig

Order 66 fails solely because of the Clastartes, who stop the Jedi Massacre all over the galaxy and at the Temple. 

Palpatine is butchered by the Clastartes 501st and Coruscant Guard 

Wild Space includes planets/characters from 40k (because I said so)

The Inquisitors are a mix of what they are in 40k as well as Star Wars

Other species from other franchises could make an appearance (Halo, 40k, Predators, Xenomorphs, etc etc)

Republic does its own “Great Crusade”

Battle Droids are converted into security forces

Dreadnoughts are essentially mobile bacta-tanks

Clastartes that become force sensitive are trained by their generals

Quick sketch of one of my UltraMOOrines oc's "Maevius Themus"

I do love him and I plan on giving him a sister!

Also decided Juno's(fem Guilliman) monster girl form will be bovine in nature

Salamander

Menacing Astartes and Ork

This is really the single most beautiful Space Marine I've ever drawn, I love him

Really need to finish off this Purple Templars Bladeguard sergeant, did his first highlight on his tabard last week and haven't touched him since.

In my chapter lore, I'm thinking of making each Bladeguard sergeant a relic bearer, or something along those lines. Any ideas let me know.

It's bring your kid to work day for my Black Templars veterans.

Like three years ago @dammitkat1e gave me a bunch of random 90s metal terminator bits that I left in a jar of IPA and forgot about until about a month ago.

Decided to finally get more painting done and made the best squad that I could, there's a few space wolf's bits in there but that's because they beat up a space wolf and stole his armour and took his lunch money. (deal with it)

Basing left to finish off and highlights to come!

Some stuff I've painted recently

5 x Battle ready Terminators, I need to highlight them and then base them

1 x Fully highlighted Spartan pattern land raider, I need to stop being lazy and her the weathering done 😵‍💫🫠

Excited to get them looking brighter soon! I'm glad my Veterans have the typical white helmet to denote their veterancy.

I wanted Rick Danger (Tank commander) to have a little servo-skull controlled multi melta

Introducing my new Land Raider commander - Rick Danger! He's equipped with the latest in grimdark iPad technologies to guide his shots.

He's joined by his battle brother and actual brother.. Buck Danger! He's catching a ride on the crusade.

Still got highlights to do on Rick, let me know if you think they look similar enough :)

More painting! This time, here's two members of my Blood Angels chapter, a Mk VI tactical marine as pictured below..

And he's got backup! Here's a Cataphractii pattern Terminator..

I'm planning to get a squad done of each (eventually) for use as NPCs in narrative games, always loved the chapter for it's rich backstory and lore.

Just the base to drybrush and the rim to paint in black. One highlighted printed Black Templar (my own colours.. yeah yeah black I know I'm a heretic etc) ready to support his chapters battle coffins into battle.

My first 3d resin print courtesy of @dammitkat1e, painted in my black Templar colours. Slowly finishing off the highlights before basing.

Every good space marine chapter needs some spiritual guidance, and to keep an eye out for chaos.. keeping the Kregan Bears in line is Reclusiarch Von-galen!

He's from the Indomitus box (9th Edition) and is one of my favourite models, his banner came from the blade guard ancient of that same box, with a tiny bit of modification so he wasn't silly tall!

One of the Kregan Bears most renowned battle brothers, carrying on the legacy of Sigismund for my black templars crusade fleet

Lets go 10th!
