Happy New Year! I finished my scouts and here they are presented all sneaky like. Since my terrain is all painted in this dark brown I used the same colours on their cloaks. The cloaks were a small touch and they're very subtle but made painting these actually seem different than the normal marines. I magnetized one of them and game him a heavy weapon. This isn't a normal inclusion in the kit but the shoulder mounted heavy weapon was a good fit. Now I can swap between missile and heavy bolter. Someday I'll write some official fluff for these guys too! But for now, it's just pictures.
Very nice work there!
ReplyDeleteThanks! The pictures are a bit grainy but I think it conveys why the cloaks/bases are the colours they are which conceptually was the entire goal. I was debating stating these were a part of my company I'm working on, but I may kick them out for a squad of boarding marines at a later date.
Deletefantastic work! Love the scenery shots. I think the grainy shots actually go along with the models!
ReplyDeleteProbably hides any imperfections :)
