Occasionally I get the urge to assemble and paint space marines, and whilst due to past painting mishaps I can fight the urge there I times that I succumb. Having failed to finish my land speeder storm in the past and have aquired a few other marine bits in my time I wanted to kit bash a more rugged looking marine model. The main basis of the model was to be the scout body, but adding in the larger pads and backpack of a power armoured marine to bulk him out into a more low-tech chapter surviving on relics. Currently I have Sergeant Lorexan completed:

That's a really cool looking model. The scout legs actually look pretty good with the power-armor torso.

Cheers, I've got two more kitbashed but with no paint on atm sat on my desk, kneeling beaky I like but the other one reminds me of a small Marneus Calgar for some reason.

I totally see Calgar in the center marine

they look awesome BTW

Thanks I'm really happy with how they're turning out, do they look suitably power armoured at this stage or should I still consider these a "light" option

yeah i would still call them power armoured...and i really like the one on the right, great mix of bits, looks awesome

Thanks, I've put down some paint on the model in question, and whilst not exactly near finishing the colour scheme seems to be easily replicatable across the models (my main concern when doing a test is always having the scheme impossible to copy).

And to compare colour scheme continuity:
