Hi all,

This is the 3rd Tactical Squad of my Broken sword chapter 3rd coy.
Just added a few new Pics for you.
Comments welcome.















Thnks for stopping in.

I would try to shine a little less light on them for the picture but for what I can see they look great! I always appreciate custom chapters.

Good job. The chapter symbol looks a little flat.

They look pretty cool. Some bigger pictures would be appreciated. Also, they look pretty close to Dark Angels.

Looks like actual army scheme with red trim. Loving the style.

Real marines, doing work!

Added some extra pics hope they show the details etc better.

I'm also hoping for better pics. These guys look great, I'm just trying to decide if they are black or green!

The paintjobs look really good.

Are they all kneeling for a reason? If your answer is "cover" you will be bordering on "modelling for advantage". Could see some people having a problem with this. Know you are using GW parts and all, but people don't really like to see a whole squad kneeling/laying down. Just throwing that out there.

Cool. My friend is coming to my place today so I can teach him to paint warhammer (SM), and this has given me some ideas.

Nice scheeme, they look great! If you want, try adding just a tiny dot of skull white in the back corners of the eyes, it really really brings the eyes to life, and its quite easy to do without ruining everything! Looking forward to.some vehichal posts!

I have not models them to gain an advantage during games. I based the squad on a old Britiah military tactic. Wear the front rank of a squad took a knee in order for the rear rank to fire over there heads. I just thought it would bring a good themed look. That and noone has complained of such yet.

Thanks for the tip on the eyes will give it a go.

as for vehilces I will soon be putting a thread up for just that, but will be showing the whole army soon.

Thanks for all the comments so far guys.

Oh and the are green! ha ha

Take a knee for the Emperor!

...

Models look good!

I too like a good custom chapter, i started my own too.

I like the colour scheme would like to see a rhino or dred in that scheme.

Keep it up.

Love the stances, your marines look like they are actually in a battle, rather than posing for a camera like most of mine haha.

Keep up the good work brother

Very nice, the only thing that looks off to me is the red trim, it seems a little streaky, and the basecoat is more visible in some places than others.

The solution is either to use a better fed foundation coat for the red, or apply more layers

I think if you painted all of the chest eagles gold like your Sgt. it would really help the squad pop more. Unless your using the gold to denote rank or somesuch, you could do silver? Overall quality work but I think just adding a splash of color on the chest would really make them stand out. Keep up the good work!
