First Tactical Squad


Jupiter

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

 

After a 6-week hiatus from making any progress on my DIY Roman-themed chapter, "Sons of Jupiter," I finally managed to finish my first tac squad.

 

My apologies for the poor pics!

And here's a close-up of the chapter crest. It took me 4-5 iterations before I finally got something simple and repeatable enough to look decent on tactical marines without being to plain/bland. I'm really happy with it:

C&C more than welcome!

Thanks for the replies, guys! As for the crests, everything I have read is mixed on the use of crests to indicate rank... you're probably right, WingsoftheFalcon, but I kinda like the overall effect of having crests on every marine.

 

@Kierdale: I prefer to use imageshack because of their image uploader application you can install on your hard drive -- it's insanely easy for forum posting! I'm sure the B&C one is great too, though.

 

As for other ideas for the army, I have quite a few! Namely praetorian cavalry "counts as" bikes and chariots "counts as" attack bikes. Probably light auxilia to count as scout bikers as well. Check out my blog in my signature for more -- there's a list of 10+ ideas I've been tossing around.

 

Also, I just stumbled upon some better pics of the marines. The colors are a lot truer in these:

Do you have a close up of the seargant? Thats a great model.

 

Yup! Sorry for the delay, but here are some (albeit, slightly outdated) close ups from when he was still a WIP. I've since finished him and added squad & chapter badges.

 

Regardless, here ya go:

Thanks for the suggestions and comments! I'll be posting army updates in my blog (see my sig) so feel free to keep tabs on that if you liked the theme!
