Thanks, chaps, much appreciated.
 :)

I now have all of the remaining basic Marines assembled and base coated, along with the Terminators. but I really ought to finish the next set of Jump Packs so both Assault Squads are completed.
 ;)

Are they original or 3rd party?

The Jump Packs are 3rd party offerings that I found on Ebay.
They are the closest I have seen to the originals (which are still the best version as far as i am concerned) but as RT era Jump Packs go for stupid money I am opting for these, which I am very happy with.
 :D

For what it's worth, I sympathise with your attempts to buy some, and I think that the ones you have look like splendid alternatives that probably also unbalance the models much less.  8)

The final seven Void Brothers are done!



That is all of the 'basic' Marines for the ten Squads done, I just have to paint up the final three heavy weapons and the Jump Packs for the second Assault Squad and the line infantry Squads for the Ninth Company will be complete.

Then it will be time for the 'Roll Call' group shot...

Thanks, chaps!
Much appreciated.
 :)

So that is 80 Void Brothers painted up now (I was only going to do about 20 when I started this!  ::)).

So, once I have done a few Jump Packs and heavy weapons, I can get on to the fun stuff: Scouts, Terminators, a Techmarine section and the rest of the Command Squad.
And then, and only then....I can play around with some vehicles!

Must... not... get... distracted……

Well, the Jump Packs and heavy weapons are done.
Here are a couple of blurry shots of the heavy weapon troopers....









Pictures of the second Assault Squad with their Jump Packs tomorrow once the green stuff/superglue join is set.

Well, with these last few bits done (at last!) I can finally say that the basic Marines are all done.

And, to prove it, here is the last of the additions as the second Assault Squad finally have their Jump Packs....







Again, the pictures are a bit blurry, but they will do until I take the 'Company shot'...).

I have finished tinkering with the Termies and they are now ready for colouring-in...
