Dark Angles Combat Squad

Just about finished with the next two Space Marines, I have finished one of them and the Sgt needs to have a the squad making on the shoulder pad and paint the belt, finally a few little touch ups.

The one finished Space Marine

The Chapter symbol was hand painted, well sort of the sword was part of the shoulder pad.  So all I had to add was the wings.  I think that they came out alright.  I am hoping that I will be able to put the finished combat squad displayed at the local shop in their display case that they have.

Defiance Games Part 2

So it has been another week and I have painted another 3 of the defiance games UAMC models.  This next set has a medic in the group, so as I am making up special rules I'll have to do something with a medic.  I was thinking something like "feel no pain" I'll figure it out when the time comes.

Next 3 models painted

I went with the same green color for the body armor and helmets, however I did use a different color for the fatigues. Using the green should give them a since of cohesion with the other 3.

I put a small dot in the left shoulder of each model

 The small green dot on the shoulder gives each the idea that they are part of a specific unit or company.  As for painting the models, I like painting them up I can get 3 knocked out in one sitting and still get some progress on my 40K stuff.

Making Progress

 I am planning on painting up a small combat squad of Dark Angles to match the single model that I painted for painting contest awhile ago.  Nobody puts the Mantis Warriors in the Corner... But me... Those guys have been there for quite some time.  I think I might make it a goal to get those guys knocked out.

Defiance Games

I ordered a box set of the the UAMC Marines from Defiance Games.  I have painted up the first 3 of 24 that were in the box.  I am not sure how I feel about the set, they are nice and easy to put together.  The clean up on the models was easy and the assembly was simple. I am planning on using them in a Zombie type lager scale game. I am going to be putting together in October using the "total arse zombie rules".

First 3 painted

I'll be making 6, 3 man teams for the game, each team will have different abilities and draw backs.  I really have not given too much thought yet into what they will be.

I have not based them yet

Next to a GW Space Marine

One more shot for good measure

 So once I get all 24 painted and ready I'll base them all the same so that they match.

Still have a whole mess of unfinished Mantis Warriors in the back ground

Again this is my work space as on this last Saturday,  I am working on painting up a Librarian and a Sgt Chronus model that I will be using as a Tech Marine / Rhino crew member.
