I am in the process of painting ten vintage veterans and three characters: Cpt., Techmarine and Standard Bearer.

A few weeks ago this Kill-Team has been finished:
https://ibb.co/album/dt3bWV

And here is the fluff for the team:

THE EXCELLENT SEVEN

 

Traitors, xenos and witches galore,

infest the Milky Way up to Terra´s shore,

though men of the Imperium don´t despair,

the Iron Tenth send the Excellent Seven into guerre.

 

Gryvuus Rauth, stout and pure of heart,

sweeps his heavy bolter to cut enemies apart,

a big fellow, that´s for sure,

there will be no sanctuary for the impure.

 

Agri-World settlers live in despair,

void pirates routinely steal their share,

the Magnificent Seven are aware of your plight,

an opportunity to demonstrate their impressive might.

 

Vardon Shurrgar, an artist with the bolt sniper,

dispenses death faster than a striking viper,

his stealth surpassed by none,

killing from a distance is his way of fun.

 

Excellent Seven comin´ to your city,

they are Astartes, they have no pity,

heathens, scum and philistines beware,

your funeral pyre will have quite the flare.

 

Tarrvim Korrphal, a grizzled vet,

fighting him is akin to playing Russian Roulette,

with scoped rifle and bionic arm,

prevents his brothers coming to harm.

 

40K years of our time,

wherever you look, just villainy and crime,

one thing will happen evildoer, without a doubt,

Excellent Seven will sort you out.

 

Lorrvus Glorh, a resolute Sgt. and brother marine,

focus turning him into a killing machine,

a wrist-mounted auspex from which you can´t hide,

enemy survival just has been denied.

 

Planetary governors do as they please,

never realizing they are a part of the disease,

riling up the populace with heretical jargon,

Excellent´s Seven verdict: No pardon.

 

Droak Pystokh, a seasoned warhorse,

deletes the Imperium´s foes without remorse,

the Codex Astartes recommends the smokescreen,

he emerges from it with vengeance like a submarine.

 

Bugs of outer space, an intergalactic pest,

for the Excellent Seven this won´t be a test,

waging war with bolter, blade and fury,

xenos death screams will even reach Missouri.

 

Shoschuus Kruyvaan, a rising star,

turns the battlefield into an abattoir,

chainsword in hand, the noise is a roar,

the only outcome, a bloody mess on the floor.

 

Excellent Seven are beloved by all Imperial citizenry,

they won´t abide any kind of debauchery,

cultists of hedonism, proponents of vile action,

your purge an example of natural selection.

 

Orros Laspykh, Captain & Tactician,

contempt for hostiles is his only disposition,

armed with master-crafted plasma pistol & power fist,

a single shot from the former turns targets into mist.

 

So scheme and plot all  you want, enemy of the Golden Throne,

when the Excellent Seven show up, you will be outshone,

the sons of Ferrus always display an iron will,

and you will be the one to pay the butcher´s bill.

The paintjob of the remaining models has been completed with the exception of the right shoulder pad which needs to be a dirty white for the black Avernii clan icon:

30K_IH:
10 Rotor Cannon gunners, a Praevian and two Apothecaries are now on my painting table:
https://ibb.co/album/7YcQDj

40K_IH:
In addition this guy sat around half-painted since the end of last year in my glass cabinet. So I worked on him today and he still needs a bit of work on the face but otherwise the painting is finished. Tomorrow decals and weathering will follow:

I'm sorry to see so many views on this thread, and yet no comments.  :?

Would embedding some images into the posts be helpful in getting some feedback I wonder?





For myself, I like the fairly bright red earth basing style you used, and how it contrasts with the dark colours of your IH. :)
