Jut a quick one, this, as it's nearly Christmas day. I painted a couple more marines. The chap on the right is a Space Wolf miniature, but I thought that his helmet and outfit would work fine as a junior member of my own knightly chapter. It's not really possible to make out here, but he's got a cut in his helmet just above the left eye, as if someone's hit him with a big weapon. It's a nice sculpt.
The bloke on the left is another of the Masters of the Chapter models. I replaced the head with a Grey Knights helmet. The original left arm held a bolter, but was angled across the body and hid a lot of the detail, so I replaced it with a more standard arm holding a bolt pistol, which I think works much better. Two decent miniatures that I enjoyed painting a lot.
Happy Christmas, everyone!
Great additions! I really love how these marines are scifi, yet very much medieval inspired! Really enjoying seeing this force progress.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Toby!
Nice ones, but I lost count by now of your Space Marine force, I'm in need of family shots!
ReplyDeleteI think I've got just over 20 marines now. It's not a big force, and it's all infantry so far, although I'd like to make the equivalent of one of those Space Wolf knights on a giant wolf. Marines have a big medieval influence to start with, so it's often a matter of just picking the right models and extras. I'd like to do some group photos, but my camera is even worse when photographing groups!
ReplyDeleteVery nice, especially the Captain!
