Flying bases, yummy

Great marines from a great chapter, really well done

**MajorTom11**

I don't know if this has been asked before, but are you planning on putting the chapter symbol on at any point??

**TheAngrySquig**

He's putting them all on at once for continuity

**Xenocidal Maniac**

Great work! Really nice. They look like true "good guys", and the yellow is beautiful and so perfectly executed. Great work.

**Langston128**

Nice job painting the land speeder

**Zinderneuf**

I love that black and yellow scheme. Very nice.

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

@majortom yep there will indeed be chapter symbols, you can see the tests on the tactical marines earlier on in the thread, I also need to decided on how insignia will work for different troop types ie scouts, veterans etc. Once a full decision is made i'll do my standard warm up on plasti-card before diving deep into getting them all bashed out at once. The end is definately nigh however as I only have two landspeeders and six infantry to bash out before i hit that stage.

Mainly due to me having this at the ready to insignia and tuft up stage

**Velour_Fog**

That is impressive... really nice work.

May I ask how you've done the black? It has an ever so slight blue-ish tinge to it, that I really like.

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

This merely a hoptical illusion the black is simply a mix of chaos black and GW old black ink. Edge highlights are just adept us battle grey -> codex grey -> fortress grey. Simples!

**Imperial Monkey**

stunning. Although a purity seal or two to break up the large expanse of yellow on the otherside or lower part of the body would be good! As a marine you can never have too many purity seals!!

**GaussGuy**

Very nice contemptor, I do really love the model and you have put brush to resin in a very clean crisp way, Can not wait to see more.

**Vulkanshammer**

Solid, clean paint job. This color scheme runs the risk of looking like a bunch of Bumble bees, but you pull it off very well. I also must say your chest eagles are spectacular. Very well done!

**TheAngrySquig**

Will we be seeing those flyers any time soon

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

I'll be starting those after I get back from my brothers wedding in April, going to try and get them primed before I go work and drinking dependant.

**TheAngrySquig**

Awesome

**Shredsmore**

Really cool stuff.

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

A little taste of other things squeezed in during my spare time

more photos on the blog

My favorite chapter for absolutely no reason. Now I'm thinking of not using the scheme because I doubt I'd match your painting.

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

Give it a go it's not that complicated and I'm more than happy to answer any questions

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

Behold progress!

**TheAngrySquig**

Could that be a Land Speeder Tempest?

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

It was but I use them as typhoons

**wizardofgore**

Very cool.

**TheAngrySquig**

Ah, well either way great model,

as usual

**Viersche**

Fine and detailed. Nice work!

**battlematt**

Great stuff, I would be honored to play against such a nicely painted force!

**Spaced**

How have you done the brown/black look of the armour? I love it, really deep...

Well done mate!

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

The black is just black that's been edge highlighted with adeptus, codex, fortress no browns involved at all, guess its just picking bounce back from somewhere?

**Langston128**

Very nice color scheme

**UNCLEBADTOUCH**

Well the second douche canoe is completed so now it's only infantry left to work on plus picked up some ammo feeds from singe industries at salute so I can properly finish of my Kantor stand in.
