  • Metal Space Marine Commander 2 Captain with Power Axe

    This guy was part number 010120501 and had the weapon options of a bolter arm (010119902), a storm bolter (010110302) or a combi-melta-bolter (010120502). This guy came with the latter.

    1999 as the sculpt date on the back, and either nothing on the front or it was filed off by a previous owner. No idea who sculpted him – the catalogues I have found showing this miniature don’t state. He looks very Black Templars-y – may end up not doing him as an Ultramarine.

  • Metal Space Marine Scout with Heavy Bolter

    A Jes Goodwin sculpt from 1997, as per White Dwarf #235! This one was new in the blister, and the body is part number 010109101, the gun 010109102 and the bipod 010109103:

    More pics to come once painted.

  • Rogue Trader Space Marine Captain with Terminator Honours

    This guy pre-dates 2nd. Edition and is a Jes Goodwin sculpt, part number 070268/1.


    More pics to come as he’s painted! He can be found in White Dwarf #170 as a conversion – no painting credit alongside the pic, unfortunately:

  • Rogue Trader RTB09 Space Marine Terminator Captain

    This guy came in the RTB09 box set. He’s the Captain with Storm Bolter, Powerglove with Grenade Launcher and Force Sword.

    He needs some mold lines/flashing removed and perhaps stripping – will depend on what he looks like when his arms come off. More to come…

  • Painting an Ultramarine Space Marine with Flamer 0819/4

    Painting an Ultramarine Space Marine with Flamer 0819/4

    This Space Marine with Flamer was part number 0819/4 and the catalogues from that time state that the minis on the page shown were designed by Jes Goodwin and Normal Swales – which did which mini I don’t know.

    The paint scheme here was obviously inspired by – but not totally faithful to – the 2nd. Edition Ultramarines brightness.

    This was my first outing with the Scale75 Artist paints for a Space Marine and they were not thinned quite enough!

    Undercoat: Vallejo Mecha Black

    Base coat: Scale75 Artist Light Ultramarine blended to Cobalt Blue, highlight Primary Blue

    Bone: Art White followed by Off White

    Yellow: Light Skin followed by Intense Yellow. Wash of Instant Full Healing. Highlight of Primary Yellow.

    Red: Light Skin followed by Primary Red

    Silver: Black Metal followed by Heavy Metal, highlight Speed Metal, wash Instant Shadow Black

    Kneecap: Light Skin followed by Art White, shade of Instant Paralyze Blue

    Eagle: Necro Gold, wash of Instant Arcane Purple, highlight Dwarven Gold, highlight Citrine Alchemy

  • Painting a Raven Guard Leviathan Dreadnought

    Take Two! Notes for those who requested, photo coming soon.
