chard289 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 well, i've been collecting marines since the 80s. but really haven't played much. since i've been to a couple gamesdays and adepticon in the last year. i thought i might get into it again. so i'm going to do a mantis warrior army using my old rt minis and the forgeworld mk sets. here are some figs i'm using. more to come....

HarasinCreed Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 im pretty sure most of those miniatures are older than i am. But they still look pretty cool. Not to mention the nice airbrushing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sultansean Posted November 16, 2010 Share Posted November 16, 2010 This is awesome, best of luck with your project I really like the history of the old minis. I myself have a Second edition army which I got off ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogus Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 The green is fantastic. It makes me feel so nostalgic to see some of these veterans again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chard289 Posted November 17, 2010 Author Share Posted November 17, 2010 thanks for the comments. i like the old guys. some of the guys i talk to weren't even born yet when i bought these guys. the paint scheme is pretty simple, i prime the fig white, then i airbrush some knarloc green on. then i hand brush the shading with catachan green and charadon granite, which i also use for the chips. i use a wash of camo green here and there to brighten certain areas. the highlights are bleached bone, white mixed in the gnarloc. i would like to find more metal marines someday. i still have about twenty more, four rt land raiders, original dread, and some old bikes. i guess i'll use the newer terms because the old ones are really silly looking.

HarasinCreed Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I agree the old space marine men look pretty cool but the vehicles are not that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drac0 Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 I have one of the old terminators, the power fist is ok at best, but the storm bolter looks like some lego pieces bashed together. nice work on the paint job and, and it is nice to see old minis back on the table.
