  • Metal Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Space Marine Brother Harris aka Bolter 13

    Metal Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Space Marine Brother Harris aka Bolter 13

    This guy was first seen as Brother Harris, and later as Bolter 13 which was part number 070106/3.

    He’s a 1987 sculpt and was shown on pages with minis sculpted by either Aly Morrison or Mark Copplestone – I’m not sure which of those two sculpted this fellow. The sticking plaster across his nose is a lovely touch.

    He shares most of his sculpt with Marine Medic 01 from 1987.

    This is a vintage Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Space Marine by the name of Brother Harris.

    This guy was shown as Sergeant Burgess early on and later Bionic Eye and Bolt Pistol, part number 70119/25. A 1988 sculpt.

    Potentially named after Burgess Meredith – though that would give him two Marines named after him!

  • Warhammer 30K and 40K Space Marines Kratos tank paint scheme for Ultramarines

    That title was a mouthful. I magnetised this one as seen here.

    Test scheme WIP:

    Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black

    Blue: Cobalt Blue blended up to Primary Blue by hand, highlights Primary Blue then a mix of Primary Blue and Art White

    Pigments: Dark Mud mixed with Rough, then Dark Mud, with Mars in the recesses, then Natural Soil on top

    White: Artic Blue then Art White

    I think the pigments ended up reading more red than I expected; going to back that off a bit to try and make it look more like dust accumulation than rust.

  • Metal Warhammer 40K Rogue Trader Space Marine Brother Stalker

    This guy goes by Brother Stalker.

    He has an unusual set of proportions in his beaky helm – making him look more mouse-y than most!
