<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Batch paint 5 UM Sergeants "]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/8.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Batch paint 5 UM Sergeants AOBR and I have all 6 tactical squad sergeants required for a full company. Going for cheap bolter/bolt pistol sergeants. I'm pre-empting the new marine dex by looking at the BA/DA dexs as a starting point. What with wound allocation being so painful to 5 man combat squads, I thought I'd go for zero upgrade sergeants, considering marines in general are now going to be getting bolter, bolt pistol, frags and kraks all included in the price, I think the costs for Vet sergs and powerfist/weapon aren't going to be needed. Certainly don't need the fist for vehicles, now that assaults on vehicles are against rear armour always and these boys are packing krak grenades. And being able to shoot 10 pistols and then assault, could make up for the loss of a power weapon by taking out a few casualties. Not to mention the sergs bolter is not to be sniffed at, its still an extra 2 shots when rapidfiring.

Ok I think i've convinced myself enough...

These are part of a gamers tale set of challenges over on the dragon. Its a points based league table, where we all pledge to complete stuff and get points for doing so... Mine was to paint all of the Assault on Black Reach marines in a month. I completed that with 2 weeks to spare, So last week i painted these, and this week I'm painting 6 tactical marines for massive bonus points. Its quite a cool way to paint an army.

Have you also convinced yourself that they look better without the swords and fists?

Not a big fan of the green. The reds are very nice, the checks on the knees are great. The poses range from good (bottom left) to terrible (top middle) and everything in between. Sorry to sound negative but these are about the only halfway decent marines they've made in a while and I don't think you've done a good job on them with these part swaps.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217296/367374.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217296/367374.page GMT Batch paint 5 UM Sergeants http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217296/367560.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217296/367560.page GMT Batch paint 5 UM Sergeants ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217296/367568.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/217296/367568.page GMT Batch paint 5 UM Sergeants

edit: Nevermind, I found em on GW's site.

The only thing I don't like about the model themselves is the garter some of them are wearing.
