Here's my homebrewed IF Successor Chapter, The Emperor's Musketeers. I decided to go a little crazy on the lining, and I'm working on toning it down a bit, as is maybe a little evident on the Vanguard. Hopefully a little bit above tabletop quality, but I definitely don't have the patience for some of the gorgeousness that other people field. Any tips or tricks, comments and ideas appreciated!

So.. where are the muskets?

They look good, and after some practice you'll be achieving gorgeousness in the time it took those.

Nice tabletop quality. Are you thinning your paints? It looks like it is going on a little thick. Also, I'm not a fan of the name. Perhaps something with bolters in it?

The first batch was not thinned, I'm slowly getting the hang if what thickness and stuff to use. And the name stays! I'm perhaps overly attached to the idea of musketeers! Though I am naming each squad, so sooner or later bolters will be in there as a name.
