After the slightly disappointing experience of painting the dinosaurs riding dinosaurs, I decided to finish the Forge World missile launcher marines. I went for a plain blue cowling for one of their guns, and a hazard-striped barrel on the other, in old-fashioned Necromunda style. Very sporting of the marines to paint warning stripes on their guns, in case the orks hadn't noticed that they were dangerous yet.
Here is the entire squad. I really like them: they're a bit of a riot of colour, but obviously the same colours carry across the unit, with a few variations. It's interesting how much a space marine squad is like a boy band: the same concepts carry across with minor variations. All ready to blast things in an old-school style!
Well, I guess the prevention of occupational hazards guys insisted on the stripes, you can never be too cautious!
ReplyDelete"If you can see this barrel, it's too late!" Great work on these guys!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, very old school! Great job, Toby!
ReplyDeleteThanks chaps, I was definitely looking for an old-school feel!
