2nd Company Tactical Squad
I have at last finished off my other Rhino/Razorback. It's been sitting around for a while mostly painted with base coats, a wash but without any highlights or details. My models often get stuck at that stage for a while. I still find edge highlighting takes a lot of effort (even more so when you have atrocious tennis elbow!).
Now that it's out the way with I took some new pictures of it and the tactical squad it will likely be carrying. The squad is a particular favourite of mine. Not only are most of the marines kit bashed from various Games Workshop boxes but I have included some MKIV maximus Forgeworld armour in there to for as much variation as possible. Power armour for these marines is a very personal affair, whilst they all keep to the uniform colour scheme of the chapter the actual MK of the armour varies a huge amount. Mixing different sets so that no two marines are the same. Rumours are the Crimson Minotaurs have a far larger than normal armoury of relic weapons and armour from the heresy era....
Looking good! Should throw another shot or two of the rhino in there...it's easy to see your love is for the squad first. Great looking minotaurs. They are all very distinct. Don't see that very often anymore (with troop choices).
ReplyDeleteI even like the different plasma details you chose.
Only improvement i would mention (for future work), would be drilling out the barrels with a hobby drill or putting a small circular dab of black paint right on the barrel end. It's a small change, but would make a difference in shots like these.
I wouldn't really recommend going at these particular models with a drill, as I'd be terrified (personally) if I slipped and nicked all that hard work. Just a future suggestion!
Thanks for taking a look. Funny you should mention the barrels - it never occurred to me before someone else mentioned it too. Now I can't help but see it every time I look at the models! As you say I am not going to worry about drilling into them at this stage but I might have a go at that dab of black paint technique, that's a good idea.
