New additions under way!

First out, I have added some more paint to my Captain. I also added a nice little piece of green leaves on his head.And a shot from the side, with the servoskulls. As you can see the sword is not finished yet. And the cloak needs highlights.

The Captain will also get a command squad with a Champion and some Vets. I'm also working on a fitting Company standard.
I've also been working on some Heavy Support for the army. Some Devestators with 2 Lascannons and 2 Heavy Bolters. I'm also thinking about adding some more Marines to this squad.

Until I can get my hands on some Landspeeder Storm-kits I think the next step will be to add a close-combat-squad.

The captain

Here I'm working on the Space Marine Captain. Right now it's all flat colours, before I start to add a bit of wash and a bit of high-lights to the armor etc.

Later on he is also getting his own entourage, a HQ squad with a standard, vets, champion and medic.

Scouts, now in colour, part 1.

This squad is the "not so mobile" sniping-squad. Equiped and armed for stealth. The first of the squads that I'm planning.
The whole squad from the front.
And from the back.
The sgt.
Rocketlauncher-man,
and one of the snipers,and another sniper.

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.

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...

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.
