    Space Marine, Crusade Suit Mark II

    This metal Warhammer 40K Space Marine in Mark II Crusade Armour is one of the Armour Variants sculpts by Jes Goodwin. He’s a 1990 sculpt. It was part number 070270/8 in the 1991 Blue Catalogue.

    As far as I’m aware this would be the first Mark II armour sculpt (some 32 years old at the time of writing).

    Work in progress:

    Paints used:

    Blue: Scale75 Artist Cobalt, built up to Primary Blue, down to Prussian Blue, highlighted with Primary Blue/Art White mix.
