Back again... Desert Eagles wip and finished minis

[Desert Eagle]

Hi everybody! It's been like over a decade since i was a frequent poster here. Glad to find out my account was still around. Thanks for not deleting it! So, short story,  i kind of had fallout with everything Games Workshop and got into other games like Infinity and above all a game called Bushido by GCT Studios.

 

Anyway, one of my sons, whom now have turned 13, wanted to give miniature gaming a go and had his sights set on 40k. So i guess i'm back!  

 

We decided kill team is a proper size to start with. He opted for the Space Marines and left me with the Plague Marines... I'm shooting for a sort of rusty and worn look. Was really fun painting this guy.

 

The one posted here is done, but i have 6 guys left to paint... And i also bought a box of ork kommandos + i have such an itch to get a kill team of Desert Eagles, so i will probably end up buying a team of space marines for myself too. I figurered the wip section makes sense, otherwise a moderator can move this thread to the kill team section.

 

My son is doing Imperial fists and i also got him the new raveners box btw.

 

I really like the new scale even if it means all my old minis are junk now. For fun i attached some of my Desert Eagles that i had collecting dust in a box. Maybe a blast from the past for someone with good memory. 

 

Hope you like them. Cheers! /Martin

Jealous of your Dreadnoughts. Absolutely beautiful stuff. Both paint schemes are great. I love seeing White Ceramite and the classic style Plague Marine colours. 

 

What bits did you use for the backpack antenna on the Marine next to the standard bearer? How did you pull off that white scheme?

Thanks mate! I have no idea really to be honest. I painted the white guys like 12-15-ish years ago. Just put them in there as a nod to the past when i last hung around here at the bolter&chainsword.
