Space Marines Pre and Post Heresy

[Saul]

Here are some of my and my wifes Space Marines, those that are finished or at least almost finished.

I hope to build and paint at least a force of 2k points for each Legion.
Lets start with the Blood Angels I'm painting for my wife.



















I will post ome more pics later including assembled but unpainted or partly painted stuff.

Nice neat painting. 2k of each legion is going to look pretty cool once you've finished.

Nice colour on the red on your marines! like em alot!

[Saul]

Thanks

here some new pictures:

[Student]

Looks good. You must be close to having 2k of Blood Angels now.

Looks good. You must be close to having 2k of Blood Angels now.

My mistake my wifes Blood Angels are more then "just" 2k points

I still need to assemble:
A Stormraven
two Baal Predators

I need to paint:
the last five marines from the Devastator Squad
an Assault Squad
a Tactical Squad
Death Company Squad
a Razorback
three Rhinos

[Saul]

Strange that the orange hl on the red can't be seen on the pictures.
I've decided to do it again and used a brighter color this time, will post new pictures sooner or later.

Here are some older pictures of my two finished Death Guard squads:
The Assault Sergeant will get his e-weapon replaced by a chainsword. The rest of the 2k needs to be primed and painted, just the Contemptor as replacement for the Venerable is missing.





They are finished with the exception of Legion markings and symbols.
Any coments, suggestions and advice are of course welcome.

I had finaly some time to (almost) finish my Death Guard.







I will try to do some better pics, Its realy time for a new camera.

Wow, those look great all grouped together- very cohesive army. My only suggestion is to make them all look like the three weathered drop pods! The clean white is beautiful, but the dirty white is so Death Guard

[Saul]

thanks, but the Droppods are not weathered. It was actually a test and I've later decided to not like it
I will paint a test miniature with a Gryphone Sepia wash. Depending on the result I will possibly change the rest of the army.

Next in line are the Iron Hands

[Saul]

it took some time but here are the first Iron Hands

Impressive production and goal mate, the blood angels look fantastic, red is a really hard colour to photograph well so don't be too worried.

The deathguard are an imposing force, I agree the wash on the pods didn't work at all.

The iron hands are looking great too, the storm shields are awesome use of the FW brass etch.

Keep it up.

Wonderful stuff so far . I have to agree with yourself Saul and sheep, that the wash doesn't look too good.

[Saul]

thanks for the C&C

sorry for the bad pictures.

[Saul]

and with added decals

[BeatTheBeat]

Incredibly impressive rate of production, and to a well above average TT standard as well. Agreeing with a lot of other people, don't wash the Death Guard! Love the clean white. Kind of makes sense for the drop pods to be darker after the descent though, so they can well stay the darker white colour.

Seems like your standard of painting is improving with each army (usually, you say "each unit" here... illustrates how fast you're working quite well) as well. Will definitely follow your progress!

Cheers,

Thanks,

I wont wash the Death Guard, I like the clean white in contrast to Plaguemarines.

I dig the Iron Handjobs, they're the only Imperial faction from Istvaan that I don't have yet in my collection, though I have been tempted at times

I've got to ask, which company makes the buildings in the background? The ones with the steps for bases look like nice kits. The one behind the Devs especially
