Space Marines... or the Mandalorian Covert.







This is the way

Nice pics, the minis really pop against that black background. Good work on the babysitter, he doesn’t look drab despite being mostly grey and brown.

He feels the need - the need for the Imperial Creed.

Nice work on these guys. This is the way.

Now I regret not getting the Mando box for the Armorer last time I placed an order...

I'm surprised by how many Ultramarines I'm seeing, they must be popular. Space Marine 2 must be doing some great PR work for them!

They may be dorks but they are charming lol

Did I least do justice to the old sculpt? I feel like my entries have been terrible lately...

Looks great to me.

One thing might be to sharpen up the visor a little? It should idealy be high-gloss reflective effect.

But what you have works.

That reminds me, I have a draw full of rogue trader squats I was going to paint...

I think it looks great! I especially like your colour choices, very appropriate to the early 90s rogue trader/2nd edition aesthetic! I also like the additions you've made to the model, they work well. Love the old squats, I really must get round to painting them...

About 2/3rds done with the month, keep an eye on your progress.

I’ll try to get a poll up for next month over the weekend, keep up the ideas.

Alright I got my entry ready



My Grenadier 1983 Imperial Marines in Battle Dress...who happen to be in space

Forgive me I had a real hard time getting this group photo taken lol.

Here are all the Space Marines I painted this month. In the next day or two, I will pare it down and post my final entry photos. In the meantime, feel free to head over to my P&M blog for more photos.

Oh man, I love Howling Griffons and those look awesome, Josh!

Thanks! I fell in love with their quartered paint scheme, and red and yellow work well with my trademark Paint Everything Brown technique.

Subject poll for next month is up. Will run for 3 days in case you are busy and don’t read this over the weekend.

Daia T'Nara - Mentor Legion Stormtalon 'Calcus Insectum'





(The Slaaneshi Stormhawk's name was, of course, Baron von Dickhofen.)

Daia T'Nara: You did a standout job on that ridiculous aircraft. I love the nose art.

My entry: Up Through The Ranks:

Captain almost done. Still trying to get the BGVs done to go with him

Progress continues... Hopefully I can get these done by the deadline!

You are quite brave to be painting freehand over that nubby shoulder pad.

It was just so... big! I couldn't just leave all that acreage alone.

Hiya, all.

It's been quite a while since I entered but I am trying to get back into the hobby...marriage fallen apart and single-parenting three kids but trying to find some time for myself!

Back in the 90s when I got into the hobby, the most 'Space Marine' image that lingers in my degrading memory is the OG Space Hulk.

The Blood Angels Terminators in tight, enclosed corridors still really push those nostalgia buttons...

..So, I am going to paint this guy (from Leviathan)....as my first entry in a long time. Look forward to seeing everyone's work!

Well dude, good to see you back and if hobby helps the sanity, then go for it. looking forward to your hulking bangles!

Lovely submissions.

My mini is still in the model cupboard, still wearing nothing but a coat of primer.

I’ve just not got it in me this month, I seem to have lost my ‘mojo’ a little for some reason. I think I just need a bit of a break. I’ll be here to vote for you all.

Welcome back. Good to see you painting. Hang in there!

Would an extra day help? I can give you an extension.

It’s only a marine. You can speed-paint one drunk in a couple hours. Grab a brush and shake off those blahs!

Or not. Whatever you need to do to be happy. Cheers!

Uuugh, why do I struggle so much with lighting?! It also doesn't help that the model is black and white. It's a thin line between under and overexposure. My brother is hoping to start an Iron Hands army with ties to the Ademch, so I thought I'd paint up an IH marine with some martian colours. And I framed so he can hang it on his wall.

Getting there, still some work to be done though:

I probably ought to take some photos of the miniatures I finished two weeks ago!
