  • Space Marine Vindicator Laser Destroyer paint scheme

    Went with a bit of heavy weathering in a slightly different vein this time around. This tank is a Vindicator Laser Destroyer.

    Colours used:

    Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black

    Base coat: Scale75 Artist Black

    Zenithal: Scale75 Artist Green Grey

    Silver: Scale75 Heavy Metal sponged on

    Weathering: Vallejo pigment – Old Rust

    Heat bloom: Citadel washes, yellow -> orange -> red -> purple -> blue

    Power cables: Scale75 Heavy Metal, Citadel blue wash

    Lenses: Scale75 Artist Prussian Blue/Light Ultramarine/Cobalt Blue/Primary Blue with a wash of Talassar Blue

    That’s it. It’s pretty quick – next time I’m going to do one that’s a bit more ash-waste and a bit less rusty-tank.

  • Space Marine Master of the Watch – Metal Mini

    The Master of the Watch is, in Codex compliant chapters, the Captain of the 2nd. Company. This particular mini was cast in metal as part of the Masters of the Chapter set. Apparently the actual company which guarded the fortress monastery was rotated out regularly, but the title remained with the 2nd. Company captain.

     

    This guy I am intending on using as a smash captain – he has a jump pack in his future.

     

     

     

    The post is more static than most of the modern captains but I think it should work regardless. Stay tuned…

  • 2005 Veteran Sergeant Aurelius Limited Edition Space Marine sculpt

    This chap turned up in a bulk buy and it took me a little while to figure out who he was. I don’t think the aesthetic really suits the nostalgia marine force but I’m eyeing off the storm bolter arm for my Librarian…

    Apparently he’s the Games Day limited edition model from 2005. He doesn’t seem to have a lot of info about him that I can find lore-wise, other than the fact that he’s called Veteran Sergeant Aurelius.

  • 1991 Limited Edition Games Day Space Marine Captain LE4

    This metal sculpt was a limited edition given out at a Games Day – the base says 1991. Apparently it was a Jes Goodwin sculpt.

    So many skulls! All over the cloak too:

    I think he nicked the sword/scabbard from the original Terminator sergeant.

  • 1994 Techmarine metal sculpt – vintage Space Marines – 70085/2

    Another metal mini picked up for the nostalgia force – this is yet another Techmarine, which is in the mid-90s catalogues as Techmarine 2 70085/2:

    Still a bit of the decayed foam stuck to him and a little bit of green on his back, but on the whole he’s a good pickup for the force.

  • Space Marine Metal Bodies – Mk7 Devastators, Assault and Tactical Squads

    Going back to the glorious days of shoulder-mounted Devastator squad heavy weapons – here I have three Devastator metal bodies to add to the nostalgia metal marine force…

    …and a mixture of later Devastator bodies, Tacticals and Assault Marines.

    There’s a Sergeant Telion and a Sergeant Chronus in there too!

  • Oldhammer Warhammer 40K Eversor Assassin – Metal miniature

    Picked up this guy to add to the nostalgia metal force – one of the original Eversor Assassins from 1995, sculpted by Jes Goodwin.

    The body was part number 010800304 with sword 010800305 and sentinel array 010800306.

    Looking forward to getting some paint on him.

  • Games Workshop Imperial Assassin with Combi Weapon

    This vintage Imperial Assassin with Combi Weapon from Rogue Trader was a Jes Goodwin 1988 sculpt. He was part number 072117/28.

    As seen in White Dwarf #107:

     

     

     

     

    Stripped:

  • Games Workshop Space Crusade Dreadnought

    This one is an oldie – a plastic Space Crusade dreadnought from long ago!

    Check out that face! The sides:

    Unpainted yet – obviously – that’ll come later!

  • Rogue Trader Brother Angst RT01 Space Marine

    A Bob Naismith sculpt! Part number 070121/46 in the later catalogues.

    Still a little bit of paint to strip on him, and the square base is just whatever I had laying around with which to stand him on.

    Keen to put some paint on him!
