One of my most recently completed Angels Infernus and the first memeber of the Devastator Squad to be painted up I present my Devastator Sergeant for comments and critisism, its also the fire set of Decals I've used on my marines so the shine is pretty glaring, but will be dulled with varnish hopefully.
C&C welcome

Thanks, I was pretty happy with how the banner turned out, unfortunately the lettering on it is the smallest transfer lettering I have to hand, so the rest of the squads shoulder pads would have to be done freehand (scary)

Very, very nice model, but I hope for your sake that you aren't using him in a non-fun game...

I realised midway through painting him that I had no room in my 500 point list (semi competitive) for Devastators much less a more expensive Sarge in a Devastator unit. Right now he's demoted to a flavour piece rather than a competitive choice.

The top-knot kind of kills it for me. I would advise a little thinning of the paints, for example on his fore-head the paint could be a little smoother.
Nice mini though!

Cheers guys. I agree the forehead wasn't my finest work, but oddly I like the top knot, not sure why.

We are winged salvation, but we are a terrible, final salvation, and our wings embrace the horizon with fire. We are the Blood Angels. To confront us is to die, and death is my remit, my reality, my unbounded domain. I have known death, and defeated it, claimed it as my own. To my cost, to my strength, death is my one gift to bestow, and I am nothing if not generous. |

Thanks guys, I know he's not perfect but he really works well in my schemes colours and came out far better than I had hoped. Despite the fact he may never see a game on the battlefield, unless I get giddy with power and decide a tooled up Dev sarge isnt a waste of point, but for now he makes a nice showy piece.
I'll do my best to improve my skin texturing on the next barehead.

I like it. I can't see why in heaven or hell you'd upgrade a dev sergeant like that, but I like the piece.

Cheers, sadly I should not be left alone with a bits box and no planned list late at night, else I end up with a model that I feel looks awesomely cool but the reality of having a ranged squads sergeant waving a power weapon is less than optimal. Even switching him out to a tactical Sarge wouldn't make the build all that useful. Still he's cool.

I have also painted up an 8 man tactical squad, whilst not currently game legal due to being missing 2 more bolter marines I am quite happy with those that have been done and based. Two of the marines were more of a chore to paint than others but as a squad they work.
I understand that some people are very picky with wanting to have gun barrels drilled out, however I have ruined a few guns in the past by doing so and am content to lose the realism of undrilled barrels on these guys if it means keeping my models intact.
C&C welcome.

Utilizing Careful Highlighting

Squad looks fantastic.
Re barrels, we all been there, you will go back because it will bug you, just drill a tiny bit, take drill off, then drill in a bit more, that way you will know exactly where the hole will be. You can get consistently where you want it that way.

Cheers guys, I doubtless will eventually revisit the bolters when I feel the unit begins to look incomplete or they stare at me for too long, for now I'm quite happy with the unit and moving onto more devastator painting.

The colorscheme seems like a bit off the ol' Grey Knights....but it still looks original enough. The skin tones look great on the face. No criticism needed, its an above average table top marine....nice work

Thanks, I couldn't help thinking of Grey Knights when the scheme progressed, Silver and red seems to be pretty much their signature colour scheme, though hopefully with a more beaten metal look instead of pristine knights there is enough of a difference to be OK. And given that apparent rarity of the grey knights in the 40K universe I figure that another chapter is bound to have similar colours.

Cheers, I've having alot of fun with the project, I also completed a second member of the Devastator squad though I'm not sure how comfortable I am with this one. He will be counting as a missile launcher devastator, however the appearance just seems a little off to me, cant quite put my finger on it.

Maybe it seems a little off because it is uncharacteristic for the missile launcher to be affixed to a marines backpack. It is definitely different and the heigth of the model standing next to other marines is probably throwing you off. Looks like these missiles would be more ordinance/barrage type....which wouldnt be a thing. As before, nice looking model

Another one bites the dust, one more issile launcher Devastator finished and sitting pretty in the squad, not much room for decals in the model but I might be able to slip them in at some point.

The Launcher represents a proto-type automated launcher currently undergoing rigerous testing on the field, its not really designed to be reloaded in a hurry. The field limitation on single missile fire is only during prototyping, the final model would have the restriction lifted and the Wall Breaker class launcher would be designed to level a wall/building/task force with no survivors, thus negating the need to reload

WOW i really love these Guys ! And i really love that Devastator with huge rack of missiles on his back instantly reminded me of Terminators. but you know what i would do. i would have put that Dev. on a 40mm base and made a Imperial gaurdsman who serves that chapter as a servant . putting his hands on the back pack like he was tweeking it or something.
