Angrygriffin's nostalgic Space Marines (and friends)

[angrygriffin]

Cheers guys! I didn't take any other pics, unfortunately, I really should have but got a bit over-excited about the backdrop and didn't think to take the mini off it to take a separate photo.

I had tried to get the Christmas Marines done in time for Christmas but didn't make it... so I put them aside for next year and managed to get done one of the Rogue Trader Mercenaries instead:

Blimey! That one is just cool. The face is right from an 80s action flick (one of those produced only for home cinema)!

[angrygriffin]

Haha that's a great way of describing him - that really is the look he's got.

[Lost Egg]

Cracking job. He looks like the dude from Doom...well apart from he's missing his B.F.G.

[JollyBob]

He looks great, always liked the old mercenaries.

Metal pants is a bold choice, mind!

[Manu Miniatures]

Retro-awesomeness

Thanks guys! Wish I had seen the Doom similarities earlier, I could have leaned into that - I have a lot of nostalgia for the first two games!

I was considering going with white underpants on the outside but ended up going with metal to match his collar!

The second Penal Legion chap is now done! One of the RT601 Pirates:





If I can dig up three more I will about making a small half squad!

It's a good colour scheme that.

I bet you had fun dotting in the pupils under those goggles.

[angrygriffin]

Cheers!

The best bit about doing those pupils was that it's a tiny recess and thus easy to paint over and start from scratch... took quite a few goes to get it looking right.

[angrygriffin]

Well, it's been a LONG time since I last painted - eye troubles. Got one finished tonight - Captain Dozier:





All freehand, no decals. A lot more work than it used to be but I got there in the end.

[HerbertTarkel]

Fantastic! Both modern and nostalgic. Wonderful! 

[Lost Egg]

He looks badass.

[angrygriffin]

Cheers guys!

Two months since the last mini but I got one done at last... Jes Goodwin's 1988 Exo Terminator.



More angles and a comparison to the modern just released mini here.

Beautiful and crisp work, just a shame its the Ultrasmurfs 
Top notch as always
