Very nice conversions.

They look pretty nifty.
Are the Defiance marines available this side of the pond?

[Pil]

Very cool, the flamer conversion is very simple but effective!

Nice work. Love the officer (*mental note: buy one, too!*) 

Your blog was one of the reasons to bring back to light my collection of Aliens and Predators (wizkids) and start buying suitable miniatures for Marines. Thanks to your reviews I was able to dig out some stuff that I never heard of before. Thank you! I'll be watching this and maybe you'll soon be able to see some of my stuff here on LAF, too.

Great looking minis! It's amazing how a great paint job can unify many different manufacturers seamlessly.

Not strictly Colonial Marines, but figured I'd show these nevertheless. They're a trio of androids, who will be tagging along with my USCM force.

...and I presume they will flip out, kill and ruin everything?

Manatic great looking Camo, what brand and colours did you use if you dont mind telling and parting with some knowledge, as I'am looking to get the same result if I'am able. Did you use a black primer? Thanks for putting your miniatures up for us to see.

Not a bad idea, still haven't decided whether they're the Ash or the Bishop or the Call type.

Thanks Marauderman, here's a full tutorial on the camo: http://dawnofthelead.com/2010/05/24/very-tough-hombres-a-colonial-marine-painting-tutorial/

Hope it's useful!

Thanks Manatic, link saved and viewed, got most of those old Citadel paints, plus the game store   I vist  has some of the Vallejo Game Colour paints in stock.
Thanks for the help, and again great work job on your models.
