Assault marines are looking capital.

[Augustus b'Raass]

Hurray! Inspiration struck today, after I drove to get a new bottle of plastic glue (I miraculously managed to acually empty an entire bottle of plastic glue without throwing it away because of needle clogage). I also just found out that I forgot to stop my parking app after leaving the hobby shop, and so ended up actually spending €35 to get one bottle of plastic glue. Yay me! 

Anyway, I build ten assault marines today. I got so enthused that I forgot to take pictures of the first batch of five, but did get the next batch.

 

Here´s a snap shot of the first batch, mounted on corks, primered, and ready for paint.

And here are actual good pictures of the next batch.

They´re equiped with MkII jump packs, which to me are even cooler than the MkV packs I used for the first ten.

I hope you like, feedback welcome

Replies!
 

@ Sagentus: Cheers, buddy! The Maulerfiend will be done after March, as my focus right now is on finishing the Skyhammer Annihilation force for the tournament.

 

@ Mechanist: That's nice of you to say, buddy, thanks! The deadline to me is just a motivational factor - the tourny has a 'best painted army' award, which I will definitely try to grab a hold of.

 

@ The Traitor: Thank you! Vexillarii are the cool part of the squad, as far as I'm concerned. I love doing them!

 

@ lionofjudah: If you don't do it for your assault squad, I'm going to kill you, keep a beehive in your carcass, and harvest the honey as revenge.

 

@ Biohazard: Oooooh! HA! Yeah baby! Glad you like him! 

 

@ hushrong: Thanks, mate! And I know right? The Gladius Strike Force is defnitely the strongest and most synchronized of all SM formations. Op as it may be, I really think it is the most fluffy way to play Space Marines. 

 

@ Pearson73: Hey buddy! Glad to see you around these parts again. And thanks!

Yep those assault marines are looking sublime... and I also prefer the double bubble mark 5 jump packs too.

[The Traitor]

This last squad looks very promising, the sergeant with the two handed chainsword is so badass! Also from where is the sword that the last assault marine is wielding? I need that for my own marines, so many SKULLS in such a little weapon!

[Race Bannon]

Forgive me if I lost track, but is that me witht the really big sword?

[Augustus b'Raass]

Well, yes, Race Bannon, that is you! This brings me to yet another request for names for my plastic men:

VII Assault Squad has three battle brothers in need of a name, and they're on the brink of getting painted - so make it quick! 
 

Also, XIV Assault Squad is in need of even more names... but they will take a few days more to paint. Feel free to claim one, even if you already named a (or several) guys in my army. I'm not picky!

@ dantay_xv: ha! Me too, except the double bubble jump packs are MkII. The single bubble packs are MkV....

 

@ The Traitor: Thansk buddy! That chainsword is part of the Vanguard Kit.

[Kizzdougs]

Awesome work on the Assault Marines! They all look fantastic, especially Folker ;)

[The Traitor]

Can I claim the eviscerator guy? He might be an imperialist, but even the most loyal can turn to chaos eventually... :P

[Augustus b'Raass]

@ Kizdougs: thanks bro! Any name tags to go along?

@ The Traitor: a Battle Brother in VII squad you say? Of course! (sorry buddy, the eviscerators are all gone...)

[The Traitor]

Okay no problem!

[DarthPenguin]

Great looking marines! :)

 

Those double handed chainswords, what are they from?

[Augustus b'Raass]

@ The Traitor: alright, buddy! Bring it on then - what will you call him?

@ DarthPenguin: Those double handed chainswords are Eviscerators - the plastic ones are from the latest Assault Squad boxed set and the resin ones are from the FW Legion MkIII and Legion MKIV weapons set. Now that I have answered your question, will you repay me with a name for one of the Battle Brothers in the Assault Squad? :) :D

As for your request; Inigo Vetinari

[lionofjudah]

Lol!! Will do brother Augustus!!

I dub thee( insert random assault marines pauldron under my sword here) assault specialist Stavridis Zepivir

[Augustus b'Raass]

@ DarthPenguin: Awesome name! Welcome to the club! I'll paint your guy before the weekend. :tu:

 

 

@ lionofjudah: Hurray! I'm also glad you got the reference. ;)

[Pearson73]

Eviscerator sergeant looks great, nice choice of head.

 

Really liking the use of the older mark jump packs on these guys too.

[Teetengee]

Eviscerator pose has so much forward movement, lovely!

[The Traitor]

Oh, of course, the actual name! I name the assault marine Adeal Grawert :P.

[Vazzy]

Dude, I always look here but never comment on it. I love all the stuff you work on, so I'm not sure why it's taken me so long. Anyways...I'd be happy to name a simple assault marine. Gregaras Basqess "Ironheart", if that's cool with you? 

 

Question though, are you using Microset/microsol on your decals? I have not seen you mention it but they look great! 

[Dosjetka]

Here's a name for you, Augs: Lyran Roth

[Psykic_scribe]

On the assault marines, I'm lost for words.  I'll make do with one - OUTSTANDING!

Cheers, buddy! Want to name one of the flamer or 'regular' assault marines?

Thanks! It's what I went for, so yay me! Also, the sergeant's eviscerator is magnetied, and he has normal weaponry too :tu:

 

Oh, of course, the actual name! I name the assault marine Adeal Grawert .

Adeal Grawert has reported for duty and his name was added to the roster!

Heyhey! I'm very glad and thankful for the comment - and for the name (which has been added to the roster! Please come back again :)

 

Here's a name for you, Augs: Lyran Roth

Hurray, more names! Thanks, buddy! :) Added to the roster. ;)

Thank you! Your word has been appreciated. Will you add a name to the mix :O

[Pearson73]

It'd be a privilege to name one of your battle brothers; 'Arios Taal' is my choice. Hopefully I can return the favour to you when I next have a project on the go.

[Nemac Vradon]

The assault marines are looking really great Augustus :). I especially like how you use so many different bits and bobs to make each marine truly individual. I would love to see a picture of the entire IF army at some point. It would be pretty cool to see all the marines you have done in close proximity to each other! Also Adolar Notker looks awesome :D

Arios Taal will stand in XIV Assault Squad, thanks!
