**Mad..**

Scouts are coming along nicely. Do they have any buddies sporting sniper rifles somewhere, or are they hiding under camo cloaks?

**Knightley**

@Mad - Ask and ye shall receive - completed back in 2012 would you believe it!

Spoiler:

Update: White and blacks applied, just faces left to do now

**Knightley**

Update: some quick and dirty faces for the scouts (to be fair I dislike the design of their faces it doesn't lend well to good defined lines.

**Knightley**

Update: Scouts done

**ZergSmasher**

Scouts look great! Is the one with the mohawk a Space Wolves head?

**inmygravenimage**

You're a freaking machine dude. Paintasaurus Rex!

**Mad..**

Woohoo sniper scouts... love the giant rifles hehe.

Bolter scouts look good, I especially like the guy rocking the mo, is that the grizzled veteran sergeant of the squad perhaps?

**Camkierhi**

Beautiful as usual, nice crisp paint work, great models.

The shot above with just the heads got me thinking you had some sacrificial objective marker thing going on!

**Knightley**

@Zerg - Yep! I wanted the Sargent to stand out from the rest of the rabble and I really like the look of the Space Wolves heads for that grizzled looks

@Graven - Haha, you're far to kind sir!

@Mad - You nailed it, in our next marine game you may see them fielded

@Cam - Its not far off, I will need to see if I can find a mess of skulls and I'll make an objective marker along the same lines (but it will be a while away no doubt)

Update: After a very busy weekend with my sons 4th! birthday party and all the associated work with that, all I managed to look at was two TL las turrets for Razorbacks

**inmygravenimage**

Crisp and colourful!
Yeah, where does time go eh? When I joined dakka I had one kid, not 3...
Still, the older you get, the closer you get to retirement and actually getting TIME

**Gitsplitta**

I love the old wolf head on the scouts. Really gives some character to the unit.

**WarbossDakka**

Razorbacks are looking really good this edition. Those Las turrets are going to be very useful!

**Knightley**

@Graven - Man, way to make me feel even older and you more virile, 3 kids is nothing to sneeze at

@Gits - Agreed, I have two more 5 man groups to build/paint and I have another two SW heads to add to the Sgt's, gotta follow the theme eh?

@WarbossDakka - Heck yes! After reading the changes to how TL works I instantly found some turrets that were put away in storage.

Update: washes applied

**Mad..**

So much potential damage in that one picture.

Looking nice, my big bugs not looking forward to seeing this on other side of battlefield haha.

**evildrcheese**

Top work on the Bolter Scouts, dude.

EDC

**Knightley**

@Mad - Hahah, I am looking forward to taking them out for a run soon

@EDC - Thanks mate!

Update: edge highlighting the grey and the blues

**ZergSmasher**

Those Lascannons should serve you well in 8th edition! They're looking great too!

**inmygravenimage**

I'm looking forward to the glowy and the squiggly...

**Knightley**

@Zerg - So I hear, 2 shots per razorback at a high strength and high damage, thank you very much I'll take that.

@Graven - Heh, I still don't have glowy down right just yet, squiggly on the other hand, I have that in the bag

Update: Reds and silvers done, now to assemble and squiggle

**Knightley**

Update: Turrets done

**inmygravenimage**

Very snazzy. I still think we need more glow though.

**WarbossDakka**

To be honest, I think the amount of glow is just right, but I guess it is down to personal preference. Oh, and the lens look great as well, you've chosen a very nice blue for it.

**Sepherato**

Nice, clean look with your marines.
And fairly impressing you're painting your stuff in such small building groups, very cool

Regards,
Seph

**Knightley**

@Graven - Ehhh, I would like to, but the back catalogue of glowy puts me off it.

@WarbossDakka - Thanks

@Sepherato - Thanks for stopping by, what would be your favourite model I've painted

Update: some base colours applied to a Chaplain

**Knightley**

Update: washes applied

**Gitsplitta**

It's so hard for me to say anything intelligent about your work when it's in pieces. All I know is that it'll be bloody fantastic when it's done.

**Knightley**

@Gits - Haha, I know the feeling, there are a bunch of blogs I follow that I know the final product will look amazing, but until that point I can't really add anything comment wise, don't worry I appreciate any comments made on the blog

Update: Highlights on the black done

**Knightley**

Update: skulls and scrolls done

**inmygravenimage**

It's very skully. I approve.

**Knightley**

@Graven - Any chaplain worth his salt would load up on extra skulls eh

Update: reds and metals done!
