Assault Primaris Blood Claw

Blood Claw made into regular Assault SM.

Needed a 2nd squad of assault guy. I choose to use Blood Claws, modified a little, to be just Space Marines.

You can see I went with a different paint scheme. SO I can easily tell the difference between the two squads of guys.

Not sure why the helmet and right arm blurred.

Like I have said in my other posts. Slowly making my way to 7 squads. 5 of 10, and 2 heavy weapon squads of five.

Wanted to show the before and after of removing the mask from the base.

You can see the mask did not come off the rock at the base of his left foot. I will need to paint that.

Thanks for coming along for the ride.

Back from my vacation, and slowly getting back into the groove.

Paint something this week will ya. :).

Back to my OG Space Marines.

Another of my OG Space Marines.

Before the 30K Branding First sons non sense.

Getting done my five man 30K MK 3 armor guys, I felt, I needed to get an OG Space Marine up for the dance.

No matter how many years go by, they still make me smile. Repainted sure but happy.

Showing off the all metal skull shoulder pad.

Just because they repurposed some chaos shoulder pads, does not mean they are not loyal.

Chaos this!

I will off on vacation next week, and unable to post because of the roaming charges.

I got some 3d printed parts coming for my OGs, so I hope to get one more OG done.

Slowly making my way to 7 squads. 5 of 10, and 2 heavy weapon squads of five.

Last two guys of the first 5 man squad of my 30K Kit bash Space Marines.

30K Kit bash squad members. Storm bolter and Lighting Claw.

CQB specialist.

My 30K Space Marines are coming along. This 5 man squad, with the assualt cannon forms the base of the 10 man unit. The other squad will have the heavy flamer.

I am thinking that I would like two squads of 10.

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 favorite. I also like the mk 6 with no eagles. On my plastic space marines I remove them. On my lead, they were bought from GW like that.

This 4th and 5th guy are armed with storm bolter, and lighting claw. In Space Hulk it allows for parry of an attack.

I like these, and looking forward to painting more of them.

Mk3 30K Space Marine Kit bashed with Storm bolter, and lighting Claw.

You can see these guys do not have their back packs. I painted them, but wanted to see how I liked this cleaner look.

I really like these guys. If I can get a 3d print, I will upscale them to be the size of a Terminator.

3rd member of my 30K Kit bash Space Marines.

30K Kit bash 3rd squad member. Sgt with storm bolter and power axe.

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)

This 3rd guy is the Sgt. Armed with storm bolter, and power axe. I like how the squad is coming along.

Also working on my blood claws (assault intercessor) nice kit, my regular assault intercessors, and my OG guys (first sons).

Am enjoying the beat up look, but not grim dark.

Only after seeing the photo did I notice I did not paint the eagle on the storm bolter.

30K Kit bash Lighting Claws

30K Kit bash Lighting Claw.

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.

Lighting Claw 30K Space Marine to delay the horde in the dark hallways of a Hulk.

The head color is non standard. Its mainly to go with my assault intercessor from the blood claws kit.

Not all the highlighting I did is coming through on these pics.

I am so glad GW put out these shoulder pads and beakes again.

30K Brrrt.

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

Chaplin. 40K Space Marine.

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. :).
