Here's my kitbashed Rogal Dorn in Black Templars armor. He's really old so insert boilerplate "I like this kitbash but the paintjob is atrocious." His body is based on Guilliman from Forgeworld.

If you're interested, you can check out the lore I've been writing for them. But today I'm talking about my Grimdark Techmarines. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6lbPzyDzkRo I wanted this first one to come... Continue Reading →
