Ithmaril's Star Phantoms

To make a very long story very short, I had to sell my pre-heresy World Eaters army to pay some bills, but I'm too much of a plastic crack and hobby addict to give the whole thing up. So I've figured out that with all the leftover Marine stuff and bits I kept, I could build at least 1k points of vanilla Marines- nothing too exciting, except for the fact that there is a scheme I wanted to paint since I saw it for the first time. Eldanesh's BoLS Star Phantoms. Things came together well, and here's how far I've gotten until now: A tactical squad, the next one's heavy weapon and sergeant, and a kitbashed Chaplain.

Glad you guys like. Well, they freehands are not quite same-size or symmetrical, especially the chapter logo varies, but those are gaming pieces and the freehands look good and unifying enough on the table top. Still like it much more than doing printed transfers.

Thanks again for the comments, really appreciating.

 

J-Man, I've done a quick mock-up of the usual freehand steps, hope that helps. I first finish the turquoise on the shoulder pad and then use pure vallejo game color skull white to paint the logo on. It looks crappy because I can't paint with a mouse to save my life, but I think it gets the job done:
