Bruder Heinz of the 3rd Gruppe, 2nd Gefechtskompanie, Galactic Knights space marines

This is the next member of the 3rd Gruppe lead by Komtur ( sergeant) Karl. He is wearing MK III armor. The Mark III was never intended to replace the Mark II armour but instead was a specialised suit to provide heavier protection than the normal Mark II suit when fighting in conditions similar to that found on the Squat homeworlds, in mines, subterranean complexes or the tight corridors of a spacecraft. It has more frontal protection than the Mark II Armour, but the weight of the rear armour was lessened to compensate. The suit uses a heavy armoured helmet with sloping plates designed to deflect shots to the left and right, thus inspiring its name as the Iron Armour pattern. The helmet inspired the Mark IV and VI helmet designs. The wedge-shaped helmet (designed to deflect incoming fire from the front) formed the basis for the later distinctive Corvus Beak helmet of the Mark VI pattern. Iron Armour clanks and grinds with the slightest movement, making it all but useless in stealth operations. However, the presence of such an imposing and ancient suit of Power Armour is a great honour for all Space Marines and can greatly boost unit morale in combat. ( warhammer 40k wiki)

Here is the first member of the 2nd Gruppe 1st Kompanie ( Mondkrieger) of the Galactic Knights space marine chapter. This is as in every space marine chapter the elite company of the Ordo Teutonicus. They are called Mondkrieger ( Moonwarriors) as they claimed the Moon Münster for their chapter as a new base after the first Homeworld of the chapter was lost to an Ork attack. More on the history of the Galactic knights here.

So here is Bruder Aron in Terminator armor:

Here is the next Space Marine of the 2nd Gefechtskompanie 3rd Gruppe, Bruder Johann. This is the first beaky marine i did for the Galactic Knights. I will do a few more in older armor as it is the habit of the ordo teutonicus ,aka the Galactic Knights, to pass on old armor to new marines . So there will be ,eventually, all kinds of tactical and terminator armor in the chapter.

When I went to Crisis 2017 I came across the company Macrocosm and their Scifi range. They do quite nice space Orks , a bit like the 80th stuff from GW/Citadel. They are a bit bigger then the GW plastic Orks , but they can be used together. I liked them a lot so that I bought some. Now I started building and painting them up . So here is the first of Wughaz Ironsnaggahs Killaboyz: His name is Uzmogg

I hope you like him. There will be nine more Figures in this unit including a weird boy and Kapitan Ironsnaggah himself .
