I've reworked my Naval Rifles infantry paint a little bit, hoping it's better now than it was. The uniforms are based on the US Navy's new "Navy Working Uniform" and the concept came from that asinine 'Naval Infantry' idea that was kicked around a few years ago. The fluff for this unit is that since the Imperial Navy can't technically have an army these troops are used by the fleet strictly for ship-board fighting, Naval facility security... and securing drop zones. It's in the wording, no one says you can't claim the entire planet as the fleet's drop zone / supply point. It's purely a defenseive unit. That Shadowsword? For Self Defense Only.

The thing on the left paldron is rank insignia, in the case of these troops since they've experienced enough to be trusted with flamers and heavy bolters are all Petty Officer Third Cla.

Here's the paints I used-
Uniform
dry-brush Space Wolves Grey
camo strips of Codex Grey, Regal Blue and Black

Armor
Regal Blue
dry brush Codex Grey
Codex Grey insidnia
Boltgun Metal specks to represent paint chips

Weapons
Black with Codex Grey dry brush

Quick note-

The Desert Yellow on the flamer strap and on the edges of pouches is supposed to give it a used leather look.

Look good..Nice job.

Looks good... some touch ups on the paint are required though.

One problem though...... MOULD LINES!!! Haha, just file them off

Nice job otherwise.

Cheers,

Jack.

I would have to agree with Blightdron on this one, nice work (except for the mould lines) Other than that everything looks really good.

Thanks, where do you see touch ups needed?

I'd like to file the mould lines off but unfortunately I have nothing t file with.

I just use an exacto knife, and scrape the end along the mould line. Basically take the sharp edge, make it perpendicular with the mould line, and move it sideways. Don't cut it off or you'll cut a huge chunk out. Just scrape sideways. It works like a charm on plastic.
