Thanks Luther! You mean turn the torso more to the Librarian's right (our left looking at the pic)?

 

Also, once I found out the ETL wasn't going down this year, I decided to go back and repaint everything I've done so far to get it up to my current level of painting.

 

 
The first space marines I painted back when the 2014 BA dex dropped.

Still gotta highlight and touch up some stuff, but I'm pretty happy with how they are looking! 

 

My Libby Dread is being put on hold until I feel like my painting skills are good enough to do him justice.

Gun slinging plasma vets (second squad with with hand flamers incoming. The sgts will have power weapons and Shields):

Anyone have any thoughts about which head looks better on the captain? All of the arms on the vets and the Captain are magnetized, as well.

First 1500pt game was a success!

My list roughly:
-SP with JP and sword
-Chaplain
-5 tac marines 2 HFs on the sgt, 1 heavy flamer in Las/plas razorback
-10 tac marines inferno pistol sgt, 1 heavy flamer, 1 melta gun, rhino
-5 scouts
-10 DC JPs 1 power fist
-10 DC JPs 1 power fist
-Baal pred asscan, heavy bolters
-Tri lascannon pred

My opponent had a bunch of ork stuff...

He conceded at the end of turn two. He was winning on points technically, but it was clear that I was going to table him by turn 4 at the latest...

Thoughts:

This edition has been super fun for me and my opponents regardless of the outcomes.

I'm loving the Baal pred even though taking two razorbacks is the more efficient option.

Hand flamers are still lackluster (as we all probably know), but my dude looks cool with them so he stays.. working on VVs dual wielding flamers because awesomeness (I feel like I have to give props to charlo).

Melta pistol also not great for the cost, but I like using BA specific stuff. Definitely wouldn't use them on my tac sgt in a serious game.

I'm still loving D.C. They seem to put out plenty of hurt on the charge. The fixed 3+ to hit is huge for me at least. I might feel differently about D.C. when/if I play more serious games, but for now they do what I ask of them. Wish I didn't go all out on power fists last edition, I've been rolling poorly on there D3 damage. I really need to make some thunder hammer guys...

Also, I roll terribly anytime a D3 or D6 is involved. I miss templates and my Tri las pred only dished out 3 damage total after two rounds of shooting...

Highlight: scout sgt with chain sword took down a weird boy all by himself in combat after the weird boy blasted 3 scouts and got the 4th in combat.

Well thank you Sgt! I spent way too much time on these guys, so I appreciate it!

 

Minor setback, the squad leader's head prevents a normal JP from being attached... gotta find a replacement head!

 

Also, all arms are magnitized besides the middle guy in second pic.

Thank you!

 

Not sure if it's further back in the thread somewhere, but I literally just prime/spray my models corax white to start and add multiple coats of evil suns scarlet... no other reds (yet, I might start highlighting with wild Ryder red at some point).

 

I think for these guys, I did two coats of evil suns, washed them with nuln oil, and applied two more coats after that (possibly even a 5th coat after I got some other paint on the red armor).

Vow update! Got some work done on my 1st co. Capt.

Not sure what color for the outside of the cape (inside will be white). Any suggestions?

The Captain's LC is perfect for the Artisan of War trait! Also, his right hand and left arm are magnetized. Same goes for the VVs.

Thank you! He is still sitting on my desk... I'm not sure if I'm ready to paint him yet! I think with the recent news I'll have to find some wings for him now! Edited by Brother Lemartes
