I managed to snag a load of the new mk III marines, which I’ve fallen in love with. They don’t really fit in with the Thousand Sons I’ve already painted so I decided to start a second proper Legion with them. I've always been a big fan of the VIIth legion, so decided to do a Terran themed force (I’ll be adding some Custodes and Solar Auxilia in time to come). I’ll get round to figuring out some fluff but decided to add as much Templar themed iconography as possible as I love them in 40k Here’s a tester I’ve done for a Tactical Sergeant. He started off with a yellow chest plate and helmet, but felt it needed something to make it pop a little more, so painted the torso black instead. I’m unsure whether to do this for the entire force or just Sergeants and Veterans, maybe just do some vambraces or greaves black, will see how I get on as I go along. I’m also in the process of finishing up Fafnir Rann (because why not) and just started the first 5 tactical marines to go with my Sergant. Also, to finish the figure off I bought a load of Unreal Wargaming Sacred Ruins bases. They’re absolutely gorgeous, so will defo be getting some more soon. So yeah, here’s a pic of the sergeant before I changed the torso, and him completely finished. And c&c’s are most welcome!

I know I'm relatively new around here, but I've been trying to branch out, so I suppose I'll show off my Fists. Here's the method to my madness. Spray Tamiya Camel Yellow PS-19 over unprimed model. This can take SEVERAL, VERY light coats as it can slide over the plastic, but white and black undercoats didn't get the desired effect. Spray with purity seal, testors dullcoat, matte finish whatever. Selective wash of equal-parts Gryphonne Sepia, Devlad Mud and water. VERY light drybrush of golden yellow to bring the colour up. Do metal/shoulders/Aquila as desired. Drybrush 50/50 Golden Yellow/Skull White for small edge highlights. Anyway, I've used more than a full Tactical Squad in finding this method, and this is what turned out DECENT. There are four more that were aborted very early on in painting due to wash issues, wrong colour entirely etc. http://i.imgur.com/fw2jbGu.jpg On the left we have my test mini, in the center the second one done. The second one done really bothered me and had me learn the hard way how difficult it is to get that consistency with yellow. Towards the right, Mr. Melty-face. A better attempt at consistency, but not as bright as the test mini. http://i.imgur.com/4PAzwGR.jpg Mr. Melty-face on the left. In the center, someone I was finally satisfied with, but still no measure of consistency. On the right, my first done tit-for-tat with kingmong's method. It just looked too orange for me, he's clearly better with his spray and wash than I am, so I took the easy way out. http://i.imgur.com/vxoHmm7.jpg Finally, the final model I'm satisfied with. I love it. Perfect yellow, smooth coverage, easy detail, simple blacklining. Love it. I can see how to do vehicles and squads from this method - like I said to him though, I can see why he sprays without the arms on! Can't wait to get started with more!
