Rogue Trader C100 Marines - a small platoon in progress.

[Geckilian]

It has certainly been a very, very long while since I've been on these boards. I figured this project would have a good home here.

Recently I painted a Brother Craig, or 'Johnny' as he's sometimes known, and it was great fun. So, I decided to dig through my older stuff and rustle up a small platoon for him to go along with. As it turns out I had just about enough C100 marines to give it a go.  I now have another regular C100, a Techmarine and a Medic in the post. Just need to sort a force weapon, and acquire a communications marine and I'm good to go in terms of bodies, though some spare marine crew too wouldn't go amiss.

I'm thinking of converting up a Contemptor Dreadnought to go with them, plus some little scout vehicles using the new GW ridgerunners as I like the aesthetic.

Ooo, I like that 

[DivisMal]

Me, too! Those are awesome!

[Geckilian]

Cheers guys! I painted the first C100 marine this evening and I'm enjoying how he came out. The bigger lenses mean the green pops more and he fits pretty well on a 32mm base.





Over the weekend I'm aiming to paint 4 more to get the first squad of 5 finished up.

Ohh, love these bad boys.

Nice work.

[westwaller]

These look great. I really like your basing as well as it still looks appropriate for sci-fi but with more visual interest than just rocky barren ground.
I look forward to seeing more.

Excellent, lovely chipping on the armour.

It's good to see you posting here again.

[Suber]

Hmm, that's nice, I love these

[Geckilian]

Thanks everyone! The comments are really motivating, cheers!

I managed to finish the next 4, so the first squad of 5 are done. That brings me up to 6 total infantry finished, with 14 left to go.





I'm still trying to source a Communications Marine and some of the upper torsos from bike riders to add to the scout vehicle(s). I think I've worked out what I'll make the 'big thing' to add to the army, should be pretty fun.

Fantastic project I will watch closely 

[Geckilian]

Glad to hear it!

I finished up the sarge for the second squad, on the right. Chopped his head and arm off to repose them a bit just to at least make it slightly different and only had to use a small amount of green stuff to change the central hose.



Also managed to get reasonably far on these next 4. Mostly metal/armour highlights left plus lenses and foliage to finish them up.

They're fantastic, I love seeing these oldies painted this well.

[Geckilian]

Cheers! I got the next batch finished quicker than anticipated. For the second sarge, on the right, I wanted a bit of variation to lopped off his head and arm for a bit of a pose change, then redid the central hose with a bit of greenstuff so it matched up.





A group shot so far -


I've had some luck sourcing models to help round out this army, so there's only a few things left to get if all goes well. Up next will probably be yet more infantry for now with the C100 captain among them.
