Nice and different, love it!

Thanks mate !

Ha-ha great great job, toss something out to the Purists that say "You cant do that"! Lol. I am creating my own chapter that is a expeditionary task force with barrowed vehicles from other chapters and even have a detachment of Tau to boot. I find it funny that the ones that say you cant do this you cant do that usually don't follow there own words when it comes to there army lol. Great job Huzah huzah

im liking the green energy effects, they go along with the color scheme but stand out with just the right amount.

Thanks buddy, I was a little scarred I'd gone too far at first as this is the first army I'd really done any OSL type effects on , but now I'm quite liking it !
Thanks for taking the time to comment !

Love it! I think I might paint my next army in the same style.

Ok , ladies and gentlemen , I have been waylaid with the camo marines lately.

But now and for the first time on the tinternet I introduce you to the works of Little H, age 10. Mostly his own work , tho I helped with the sword on the Champion, the rest is his. Logan Grimnar he did one morning whilst I had a lay in !

And the desert board we're intending to game on, I did !

Comments or criticisms please

Little H rocks.

great job on the weathering and camo paint, superb!

His stuff kicks ass. but you should teach him how to paint white.

Thanks very much for the comments fellas, Little H is well chuffed , tho we haven't quite got to the stage of formulated paint effects just yet , he's still very into "free form experimentation" at the minute !

You've done a great job.

Managed to get a few bits and pieces finshed to round out my lads units.

I really like how the Anvil Industries Black Ops minis turn out.

wow, those look excellent!
my favorite is the guy with the auto-cannon type bit on the bottom picture.

Reasonable marines.That is the only thing that describes them.

Thanks mate , auto cannon guy is a mix of GW body ( icon filed off ) and backpack with Anvil legs , arms/weapon and head. Looks pretty smart eh ?

Go on 14dchan.Its a compliment...If you like HERESY.

Well done sir! Look properly military, really like marines with a military look. Am not so much into the tinsel marines or ones in bright gaudy colours.

I have to admit I have never bought second hand models and this would give me courage to give it a go. Always afraid I would waste time, which when it comes to our hobby can be as precious as g

Second hand stuff can be a real pain , at a minimum you'll be removing moldlines and stuff, sometimes they'll be assembled REALLY badly , tho then its lends themselves to green stuff and dremelling for Chaos use !

Sometimes tho you can drop lucky and everything works out , it really depends on how much actual spare time you have to correct things !

Thanks very much mate !

However , despite my best efforts (so I wasn't painting 24/7 and not getting anywhere...) , my lads interest has wandered off to WHFB and Dwarves.
It just not fair , they'll look rubbish is Tamiya Desert Yellow.

After an age , I finished the bases and final highlights on these two.
I like the signals officer , going to use the wrist mounted auspex idea stolen from Veteran Sergeant ( see his blog) more often !

Do you have a back on his front?!?

On the Signals Officer ? Yeah , I thought the pack mounting would look a bit like some kind of comms interface or something , the "ball" for mounting the pack is shaved of and a skull fitted , tho its hard to see.
It also give a armour neck plate but i had to remove it to get the comms head to fit .......

When I read the topic, my first thought was:

I love this old art. Beakies are truly the greatest marines
EDIT: I forgot it was official art not fan art.

The signals officer was incredibly creative. Good job!

Awesome painting! The beat to feth and back looks great and leaves the door open for all kinds of cool fluff.

Funny thing , when Rogue Trader came out i Didn't like the beaky heads much , but I think they look sweet on jump pack guys now !

With the comms officer I just looked at the Forge World one and set about my bits box in a clipper frenzy !!!!

Beat to Feth and Back !

Maybe that should be the Second Company's motto !!

Ladies and Gentlemen , I give you a fairly averagely built and painted LandRaider , its taken 12 months or so from buying it all Blue and Ultramarine-y to getting it finished , I still keep finding mold lines and bits I should have filled , I really began to hate this tank and was really quite pleased to get it done .

On the down side my son said on its triumphant presentation " Don't know why you bothered , I like Dwarves now"

Bugger.

First thing I thought was this old sweetness from the Red Scorps Angstrom Incident...codex approved no less!

Though I don't know how many battles were fought on the inside of a red lipstick factory.
