30K Brrrt.

My 30K Space Marines are coming along. The squad is mainly for 1st edition Space Hulk missions. Not that I cant use them in a game of 11th Edition.

Main color is still Dark Prussian blue (Vallejo) model color, with black green, and slaughter red (Army painter speed paint)

Of all the different Armour marks, this is my favourite. I also like the mk 6 with no eagles. On my plastic I remove them. On my lead, they were bought from GW like that.

The Gatlin gun is a 3d print, as is the shield.

The very bright helmet has more to do with my 40 guys and overall unit cohesion.

Started out this way, and yes the primer is two different colors, before the dark purrsian blue was applied. Some of the squad in the back ground.

Decided to not do high lights, other than the bolts on the armor. The bases had been done beforehand, and highlighted then.

Really enjoyed working on the shield.

I did the eye socket in a different color, but hard to tell in these pictures. You can see the 3d print marks that I did not sand off.

Hopefully the view as he and his squad leave the Space Hulk. Suffer not the Xeno to live.

40k Chaplin

Got this guy done from the Onslaught box. Mainly contrast paints. Main color is still Dark Prussian blue (Vallejo) model color.

Cloak is Sand Golem speed paint (Army painter)

The Banner skeleton is contrast Skeleton Horde (Games Workshop)

Black base primer, zenithoal white dry brushed.

Decided to change up the colors of the purity seals. I was thinking that depending on which champagne it was awarded it would be different.

40K Chaplin from Onslaught box.

Closer view of the miniature.

As hobbyist we complain about the cost of the miniatures.

For me I want to complain about the selling strategy. If you can sell a box of nine miniatures (onslaught box) for 60 bucks US. Why is it 140.00 bucks US on your website.

This was a deal, and I am glad i can paint these guys. Adding them to my Chapter.

Back side showing of the different purity seals from the different Campaigns. Just noticed his right arm scroll was not done. Also noticed a lot of the edge highlights are not showing up in the photos.

I really liked how the book came out.

I hope you finish a mini this week. This is what this is site is all about. Getting you to not be a perfectionist about the painting. Get it done, so you can play. Be happy ever time you get one done.

So what you just bought another army box. :).
