TFM: My Assault on Assault on Black Reach Part 14

From Stuff I Have Painted: Space Marines
If you followed me here from my other blog you may already be familiar with this series. If not, it is pretty easy to guess. I have had the AoBR marine contingent kicking around for ever, so I decided to paint them up in the colors of my favorite chapter, the Dark Angels.


This weekend I was able to get five tac marines done after taking too long a break from this project. I like these models, despite how static they are. The posing makes them seem bigger and bulkier to me, whether or not they actually are I have no idea. The sarge model is pretty cool as well, and I had a good time working on him.

I know Dark Angels purists will take umbridge with the tactical markings on the shoulder, as the single arrow isn't what the chapter uses. I can make up a bunch of excuses, but there was no way in hell I was going to shave all those arrows off. Maybe if I had a dremel or something. Sorry purists, my laziness is my shame.

So, Captain, terminators, and five tac marines down. Five tac marines and a drednought to go. Who knows, I may even get this done before the next box set releases? Some are even saying it will have actual Dark Angels...

Thanks for reading,
T

    Really nice work on those mate, I like the models, the slightly static poses are mainly to do with the gun being held so close to the chest i think. The red arrows might not be correct but they make a great excuse to slap on some more contrasting red.

    Thanks for the props Crosser Modelling. Contrast is always good for Space Marines. Especially with such simplistic, yet cool, sculpts.
