Thanks guys

I hope to continue improving my technique and refining their aesthetic as I go to create better and better models.

This is where I currently am! It's my forth model of the group and the Sgt(Character)Wolf Guard Pack Leader)).
His backpack is different to the rest, I decided to give him one of my original prototype backpacks just to mix it up a bit. I also want to do up his helmet and/or crest to help set him apart from the rest of the squad.
Apologies about the photo quality in this upload. It is currently night time and this is the best I can do

Aaaand here's a group shot

You may notice that I have demoted the fellow on the left. He was a WGPL but now he is a simple GH.

I have one more GH to put together and it will be time to base and paint them. I am committed to fully completing every 5 models to prevent a buildup of half-finished models

I have a pretty good idea of how I want to paint them, but if anyone has any ideas on how I could base them I'm all ears! I want to, in some way or another, give a japanese/general oriental feeling to the scenery so as to accentuate the style of my marines.

Thanks for popping in!

Post no.666!!! That's some kind of a milestone, right?
