To celebrate the unlocking of one of my favourite Space Marine kits to the Blood Angels in the new Codex, I dusted off the one I bought and painted when it was first released and re-photographed it.

Very cool stuff, nice to seesuch well made models

Nice job on one of my least favourite marine models Is the scout speeder any better than the standard (One of the worst to-assemble kits GW produces)? I assume it was refined a bit.

I love the kit! But to each his own

It’s some years since I built and painted this, but it was sharper compared to the standard Land Speeder kit from what I remember. Went together fine except the scouts themselves were a bit fiddly to position.

Beautiful work!

How do you do the metal chipping effect? (ie what paints do you use) It's really clear/strong and probably some of the most realistic I've seen.

Thanks!

It's just black followed by Boltgun Metal (I guess the modern day equivalent would be Leadbelcher?) applied with a piece of sponge. Quick, easy and effective!

Love the look of this thing. True character to it.

Awesome stuff!

I really like your stuff! This is awesome. As a BA player I'm tempted to get a storm too even though I'm not sure how often it will make it into my regular lists.

PS. I loved your sanguinary guard and am modelling my own squad after them.

Really nice paint job, always a cool model to see!

Thanks for the comments!
