Grimdarkness- I went with the color scheme from the IA article in White Dwarf. I had read somewhere that the original chapter badge was red. I may make the command squad and the vets with red chapter badges.

 

According to this pic, it seems you're right about the red chapter badge... ;)

Actually, if one goes by the current version of the Heresy, as detailed in 'Index Astartes', the DAs are black, with white badges and gunmetal bolters - the temptation is to use RT Marines as pre-Heresy Marines, when in actual fact they're just a phased-out earlier version of 'contemporary' Marines. My rule is this: if in doubt, go with Index Astartes, since it tallies with the current miniature range (for instance, you can't say that the old-style Land Speeders were pre-Heresy models, since Land Speeders weren't used pre-Heresy! Have you ever seen a Chaos Speeder?).

 

As for those minis, they're about as spot-on as pre-H Marines can get - a mix of armour variants right up to the current ones, but generally plainer (not so many purity seals and religious iconography), with no Codex Astartes markings (hadn't been written yet!), and some details that predate the look of the Chaos Marines. I'm dead impressed - nice work, Lord Magyar! :tu:

 

I particularly like this one:

See, this is why the Emperor's biologists developed the oolitic kidney - he's going to have one hell of a hangover...

 

 

Again, nicely done, and awesome paint job, too - ever thought about trying your hand at the other Legions?

Pics are not the best I'm going to try and get some better one latter.

Doghouse, it is infact based on the BT Marshal, just a head and weapon swap and a little grinding with the Dremel.

Thanks to everyone for all of the positive feedback it really helps to keep me motivated. I should be posting four more tactical marines in the next day or so just need to finish the chapter icons and a few other details.

What is the head from. Looks familiar, but I can't place it.

Well as promised here are the other four tactical marines of squad one, and a not so great group shot. I really need to get a better set up for groups.

Those are really nice. I especially love seeing (well done) studs on power-armor. My only real beef is with the bolters. I guess calling it a beef is overstating it, but they are such a modern designs compared with the pre-heresy work I've seen, which is mostly oldschool stuff... like the dark angels pictured above... but the art of 40k has departed so far from their roots that marines don't even look human anymore... like voodoo dolls with 2x4s for weapons.
