Excellent paint jobs on some lovely old marines

Looking great.
The advancing one is the very first miniature I have purchased.

Cheers everyone! Yeah, I elected not to go full blue for the Librarian as I figured it'd be a bit overwhelming considering the force is generally quite neutral in tone - the occasional spot colour of red or blue already stands out nicely.

I've been busy and managed to complete up the next part of the project, the first scout vehicle -

The plan is to have 4 of these total, as well as another 2 quad bikes to join the first one, though now I need to find more crew and riders. Haven't had much luck on the trading groups yet, but finger's crossed.

All that's left to paint now, from the initial plan, is 3 more Ridgerunners (which arrived this morning), 2 more Wolfquads (which are in the post), a Techmarine and a Medic, both of whom are on the painting block next.

If anyone sees some RT space marine bike riders around, let me know!

Perfect

I've got one of these but it's going to be converted into a hover version. Somehow

Pm on it's way

It occurs to me, I'm after 4 Ridgerunner wheels in my wanted trading post. If you're going to make yours hover...

I got the next two models done within my self-imposed deadline, as I wanted to get the Medic and Techmarine done before the weekend ended.

With any luck the Communications Marine and 2 quads will arrive soon, as well as the various other models and sundries on their way. I plan to space out the vehicles in between what's left, as painting the buggy was a bit of a chore.

This is a cracking project and lovely execution. I really like your neutral colour scheme. Nice mixing of old school and new school minis.

Thanks Lost Egg!

I've continued to be busy and make progress on the project. I've painted up a second buggy, though I'm still waiting on the crewman to arrive in the post. Communications Officer Orinoco also arrived this morning, so I painted him up too - now the command squad is complete.

Certainly getting there! Most of what's next I'm waiting on to arrive, but I do need to look for the techmarine bike rider as well as all the other techmarines on foot as I do like the models.

Grand as owt

very nice indeed . Brings up fond memories!

Cheers everyone!

Managed to finish my third buggy (though I don't own a crewman for it yet) and added hazard markings to help differentiate them, since someone did mention they were a bit samey. Also painted up a crewman for the second with the lovely scanner.

Ideally I'll find the pointing bike rider torso to go with this third one.

With luck the quads should arrive soon, though understandably postage from Australia to the UK isn't the fastest! I already have one quad rider ready to be adjusted to fit, the medic - still need to acquire the techmarine with bolt pistol rider for the last quad.

After those there's just 1 buggy to go, so I'm getting there which is pretty exciting.

I can't quite believe the speed and quality of your painting...I'm working on a platoon of marines and after just over a month I have 1.7 marines finished

Lovely use of the hazard stripes and the old crewmen take me back.

Everything is fantastic. Those beakies fit in the vehicle much better than I had expected

Geckilian · « **Reply #43 on:** January 17, 2020, 03:08:59 AM »

Speed is one of the few things going for my painting, heh. Cheers, I'm pretty happy with how the hazards came out especially.

This feels like an Oldhammer mini since it's also Bob Naismith, but it's from the Cobalt-1 line of models. Got this guy a very long time ago and found him whilst digging out the minis for my RT marine project. As such he's now painted up as an Adeptus Mechanicus-esque person. He'll get a couple of robots in the same scheme and be an ally for my marines.

They definitely look related and go well together. I like your choice of the blue on the power pack.
