Recently got a friend into 40k, he likes SM's so I thought I would look through my old and unused models to see what I could find for him to start out. I had to strip some models but found enough for 2 tactical squads, an assault squad and a devastator squad. Also found 3 bikes, 6 terminators and an Emperors Champion to use as a commander. I have to do some more searching but I am almost sure I have some bits for a command squad as well. I need to buy a few bits to complete some of these models but have most of what I need already.

Here is the color scheme I came up with, something really simple but looks good. left to right- tactical, assault and devastator- veteran- command.


Still working with him on a Chapter name, but we may leave it open so he can use them as DA's or Salamanders.

Here is what I got so far, reasembled the first tac squad last night. On the paper beneath the models you can see some of the squad markings I was thinking about using. Thanks to my daughter for letting me borrow her crayons.

I fail to understand the purpose of this post? are you asking opinion of color scheme? are you seeking some cudos for giving away models?

If you are asking about the color scheme, it looks good I prefer a simple color scheme that you can paint quickly and easily then go back to and add more detail later

If you are seeking cudos for giving away your models, Congrats well done you I like that after infecting your friend with this atrociously expensive hobby your willing to help him out with some mini's
