The scouts have arrived!

Added a group of scouts to the army.

Here we have all five of them. Four snipers and a rocket launcher. I also added som gs-work on them, as you can see.

The gs-work on the kneeling snipers foot is a small detail that I first added to an Ork back in the "Ordo Xenos project". A small but nice detail, in my opinion. More gs cammo netting will be added to the rifles.

The scout sgt. yelling out the next target assigned for obliteration! I'm also going to add a Teleport Homer on a separate base.

New stuff to add!

Decided to add some scouts to the army. 4 snipers and a rocketlauncher to start with. I'm also considering repainting my Bloodangel-scouts from a while back.

Update!

Did some painting last week, and this is the result. I'm still working on the Tactical Marines.

The "tactical"-markings are a bit too white right now. It needs a layer of brown wash and some watered down bleached bone colour. Or just some bleached bone...

A close-up on two of them. The eagle on the chest is going to be in silver/metal. The Bolters are going to be washed with black or brown before I add some highlights. The lens on the scope will be blue or red (haven't decided yet).

green, green, green...

*gah!* All this green paint is starting to get to me... But all chapter badges are in place and I have started on the detailwork. Right now there aren't any pics but I think I will post some later this week.

Wash, wash, wash, all those little marines...

Right now all the Tactical Marines are ready for some washing. And if all works out they will all be ready, with Chapter Markings, for the detail work tomorrow!
I found out that the best way to get the markings right, with the clear-paper, was to exclude the left shoulderpad in the washing-process.
I almost forgot: the Dreads are now basecoated (black).

Marked Raptors

Just trying out the new chapter markings.

It was harder to get them into place than I first thought but practice makes perfect, I think...

Ok, only 15 more Tactical Marines to go... And not to forget 10 Terminators...

Chapter Markings in the making!

After some fiddling with my inkjet and a bit of help with Illustrator I got these babies printed and ready! Printed on clear-paper, just add water and voila!

Green Tactical Marines

So now all tactical marines are in the green, so to speak. Basecoated, armor colour and washed. Next up is details and high-lights.

First wash.

Here's the same, as the earlier one on the right. I just added some Devlan Mud-wash. Just so I can see if it's the right one to use. And I think I'm on the right track for now.

A bit of paint...

First paint on the minis, to try out some colours. To the left is the undercoated version and to the right the same but with some added Cammo Green.

So it begins!

Right out of the box, so to speak. This is the Space Marines from two "Assault on Black Reach"-boxes. It's also the backbone in my new Space Marine army.

All those empty bases are for the terminators.
