Gary and Mikes 30k adventures

[Ray]

Thoughts?

I absolutely love that last land raider

Camo on space marines is very cool, definitely on board with it if you went that route. Guess GW dropped it after rogue trader as it’s easier to create a brand with one colour per chapter, but it’s a good idea in my mind. I hadn’t really thought about it, but I’m now tempted to do some myself!

Back in the day when I thought I'd be playing and painting 40k forever (hah!) my own Chapter used camo, and thought the Chapters that didn't were superstitious morons, and deserved to be understrength.
Admittedly, they were also cut off from the Imperium for 1000s of years and no longer worshipped the God-Emperor, so where also heretics.

Base layer test for plague marining the MK6 models.

Bit bright but a wash should sort that out.

[MoodyGit (Gary)]

Love 'em.
We certainly don't like using standard colours do we.
We might have to finish this project off with a WW1 trench board!

[Tom]

Nice colour choice.

[Mike]

Wonder why they changed from the white to the green after being tainted.
Wonder if the paint went off due to the warp?

[MoodyGit (Gary)]

They're still white, they just changed the light bulbs.

"This is just the beginning..." Overheard comment made on the wall of the Palace as the traitors dropships hit the atmosphere.

Ok, lets pretend I did this in a organised manner, bit by bit, not that I finished 35 bases in one hit. (Gloss over all the pictures that follow have the same background)

This is the final colour scheme I have settled on.

"Welcome to Earth, I only wish it was in better times" - Lord Streighter, Administrator maximus, Outer Circle.

Now the 68th have made it to Earth it's time for some welcome reinforcements in some MKVI,

This means I have made the first target, though a couple of weeks late. The first 500 points.
