August to October is a very busy month in Warhammer Malaysia, with the grand opening celebrations of 2 new stores here and the Anniversary of 2 existing stores.
In conjunction with the anniversary, I started a simple project as a tribute for the celebrations. It is basically an extension of a previous model I did for Warhammer Publika's opening event 2 years back. They had a competition to design a new local chapter which I took part. How it went? I have no idea as it never really did went through.

Photo of the original model |
The scheme is inspired by the colours of the national flag itself.
Sadly no photo of the model was taken previously and I am not sure if the model is still around.
With the recent release of the new Primaris Marines, I decided to recreate the models, not only for Publika but for all the 4 outlets that we have here.

Publika Chapter
Founded 11th Sept 2016
Open 8th Oct 2016 |
A recreation based on the original design, with some small change to make this model uniform with the rest of the models.
|
Velocity Chapter
Founded 20th Jul 2018
Open 25th Aug 2018 |
The Velocity Chapter design is basically a pallet swap of the Publika Chapter since both outlets are in the same state of Kuala Lumpur.
|
Austin Heights Chapter
Founded 18th Aug 2018
Open 15 Sept 2018 |
Austin Heights Chapter, as per previous models, was based on the flag of the state of Johor.
|
Summerton Chapter
Founded 12th Aug 2017
Open 16th Sept 2017 |
Summerton Chapter model is still a work in progress as the blue is still too dark when compared to the colours of the flag of Penang. The backpack is also still incomplete, but it deserves a spot here together with the rest. I will be posting the final version once it is completed.

Abbey road version, without the backdrop |
So once again, Happy Anniversary and Congratulations Warhammer Malaysia! Looking forward to many more years (and many more beautifully sculpted models!)
By the way, the dates were sourced after some research on all the previous post in the each outlet's Facebook page. Hopefully they are all correct! XD
*** Update ***
Finally completed the Summerton Chapter.
