Image Description:
Often deployed as the tip of a tactical squad, entry teams are usually armed with close ranged weapons and gladius for closing with the enemy. Here I used some extra Loyalist bits I had (plus a Chaos pauldron) to make a slain Red Corsair as basing material (not I kept his original chapter colors slightly visible through the Corsair scheme). The emblem was entirely free hand, and came out pretty well as long as you don't do a side by side of the proper one. A high compliment I got while making them I explained the role of closing with the enemy and not just sitting back, and someone remarked 'Oh like a forlorn hope.' so of course I answered that it actually the name for this very chapter.
Should also note, the sergeant has some Deathwatch bits, and a kitbashed head (devastator with an antenna added) because I thought he should have some more gear for coordination not to mention better optics. I was pretty disappointed in the tactical squad kit didn't have a head with anything like those to give an option other than bare faced. The arm was difficult to position going through the shield like the others (which of course were made to do just that) but by cutting off the shoulder and gluing that in place, and then rotating the lower section I manged to get it just right.
Something I want to get across with this chapter to distinguish them from most other chapters is that they really hate Chaos ;-) |

This looks pretty sick,
C&C would be the paints look a little thick, and that I personally think that drybrushing some brown into the armor to simulate dirt would add to the aesthetic of camouflage that you're going for (which I think looks great). Also I noticed the little bit of case hardening on the flamer, very very cool and a tiny detail that makes the model look all the more believable.

Thanks for the feedback, I tend to put some mud on the boots, but I think you're right that dry-brushing on some dust will improve the look. I should point out that it's not really a camo scheme so much as an aesthetic derived from camo, which does help break up the silhouette. Military uniforms often have features which derived from functions which only become style choices overtime, and I thought Astartes would look cool in a tiger stripe pattern.
My actual recon guys are entirely camo. |
