The Nova Marines mark my return to 40K after sitting out the latter half of 3rd edition and all of 4th edition. That Assault on Black Reach box just dragged me back into the Emperor's embrace...

I'm working on what will be 3rd company of the Nova Marine's, so far i have a dreadnought, 3 tactical squads painted, 2 scout bikes, 5 terminators, Chaplain w/jump pack, and the commander painted...All army markings are hand painted, Regal Blue and Skull White are the main colors, along with codex grey and Mithril silver for accents. For painting white onto a black primered model I first hit it with Space Wolves Grey to give it a nice foundation, and help the white pop better...its taking a while, since painting emblems tends to get me cross eyed...

I have scout sniper squad in progress, along with 4th and 5th squad sprayed with primer. I just picked up an assault squad and the last scout bike to round out that squad.

still on my shopping list, another assault box, 4 razorbacks, 1-2 drop pods, 1-2 Whirlwinds, 3 Vindicators, 2-3 Assault bikes, and maybe a few speeders...

Very nice. They look crisp and the colors contrast nicely. Well done on the iconography.

Oh! you have the commander with the mace!! I love that model
i wish GW would release a big terminator captain
wit a huge thunder hammer in the for of a giant mace!!
that would be AWESOME!

Fantastic work. Very clean. Almost a little too clean. But I digress. When can we expect an update?

I'd imagine that any Marine force, at the start of a campaing, would look like this - nice and clean.

Very, very nice!
