I am Legion Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Finally after many months, I have returned to 40k and gotten back into painting. This is still part of that first squad I was working on if anyone remembers. This is Marine 6&7: Hope You like it, and there will be more frequent updates if my life doesn't get in my way too much.

I am Legion Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 This is the extent of my painted sally army so far. Will begin work on 8 in the morning. Still need a cool pose.

Emperor's Scourge Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Looking really good man. You should be proud. Love the combi-flamer since I just finished reading the Sally novel and thats what Sgt Tsu'gan used.

Captain Mike Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 If I may make a crit, that cloaked guy looks too cool. He'd be better suited in a veteran squad, or even as a captain. He overshadows the rest of the squad with his epicness.

I am Legion Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 I wanted to go for a more elite looking marine force this time around. all the bits and bobs to make them look like the marines from the pictures, with all the inscriptions and personalized gear and stuff. I even though to give #8 a chainsword to go with his bolt gun. not that it would count obviously as he has his bolter, but just to give them a bit more umph. I hope that makes sense...

AdeptusDavidus Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 These guys look fabulous. I remember seeing the green of your guns-akimbo marine with his swirling tabard a few months ago - he looks double-plus great with a lick of paint. :D I especially like the "designated marksman" guy, with his scoped bolter with bipod, showing off that enhanced targeting gear on his helmet.

I am Legion Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 Yes! Someone noticed him! Thanks for the kind words and remembering the wip model from february! And Bobmackenzie, I was hoping you'd come to the bunker today to trade bits. I got a vindicator for some grey knights. Then I used it in a game, and discovered that they suck! yay....

Vindicators are alright, just need to use em right. Preferably in multiples. If you dont like it I'm sure we could work out a trade.

Kaldoth Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Excellently painted! Mind throwing out a recipe for your green? The lava effect is nice too :D I like.

I am Legion Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 The green is simple: 1: Starting with a 3 parts dark angels green mixed with 1 part snot green 2: 2 light coats of snot green 3: tharaka green wash 4: scorpian green highlight. Pretty well the way GW does it. The lava needs work and I will be using a different style for the bases starting with the next guy.
