Another week, another batch of miniatures! Good thing about the Carcharodons is that I can almost build them as fast as I can paint them.

One of the principles I've been trying to stick to with regard to how I've been assembling the Space Sharks is that they use older equipment that's been mashed together with other stuff. Which strangely has had the consequence of making them look like non-mutated Chaos Space Marines.
Look at this Terminator to the left for example. The arms were taken from the Cataphractii Terminator kit because I felt the lightning claws from that kit gave the model a much more menacing look. He also resembles something you'd see in a renegade Astartes chapter. It surprised me how well the Cataphractii arms work with the Tartaros body.

There's two other kitbashes I'd like to mention: the Chaplain and the
Captain. The Chaplain was made from a variety of sources, but it
started with a metal Space Marine arm that was pointing and evolved from
there. There's not many parts on that model that come from the same
kit as it turns out.
The Captain was primarily made from
the Death Watch Kill Team kit, as I felt the Mk VIII armor was
reinforced enough to be artificer armor. The arms are spare Tartaros
Terminator arms, with a Mk IV plasma pistol hand. I don't recall where
the head was from at this point, but the iron halo is composed of parts
from a Drop Pod and a Venerable Dreadnought. I haven't decided what
chapter his latest kill is from yet. Probably Astral Claws or
Lamenters.
As you can see from the photos, nearly the entire tactical squad is
done, with the exception of the poor guy who's being used to create the
How To Paint guide. I've got some scouts to paint as well, which will be the first largish batch of Carcharodons who're showing skin. There's the rest of the Tartaros Terminator squad as well, but they need some additional basing elements.
