Those of you long in the tooth know that during the Horus Heresy both sides had access to armies of robotic soldiers, and while the concept was cool the GW models were pretty poor, so I've decided to reinvent the look of the robots using GW parts. Well, since the Heresy the knowledge has been lost to men, but certain first founding legions, such as the Dark Angels, still maintain limited stores of these irreplaceable artifacts from a lost age, and in times of dire need, the Chapter's ForgeFather will lead these constructs to war. This army uses the Deathwing Rules from the Dark Angels Codex. The Forgefather model counts as Belial, while the robots count as squads of Terminators. The Robots are built using the toes from a Sentinel, the legs from a stealth suit, terminator arms, and the torso from an Epic 40K Knight from the Epic 40K starter box set (which has been out of print for a decade, so getting 30 of thoe together was no small task) Right now I've got Belial and one squad assembled. When I'm done there will be six squads of terminator robots. Enjoy

Something you don't always see...

Often times the sported two heavy weapons and a power fist type wepon. There were 5 classes and each had a slightly different weapons fit. I remeber the Catphract and the Collossus fairly clearly. I have the Red Compendium book, so I can research more carefully if anyone is interested in knowing more. Otherwise, carry on. I think the models you put together look pretty sweet.
