A Fist Full of Bitz: First Five GTG

The first five of my Hardened Veterans are done, two melta guneners and three lasgun troopers, as well as the Veteran / Marbo / Vox / Democharge / Swiss Army knife guy. Legs are Space Marine scouts, torsos / arms / heads are Cadian and the weapons are carbine lasguns from the tank accessory sprue. I think they look sufficiently like a motley crew of veterans:

A Fist Full of Bitz: Plus Some Photoshop!

The Sly Marbo turned into a squad now, so the initial paint scheme is going on.

Reasons for the different colors: carapace armour and helmets are easy enough to paint between campaigns while aboard ship, so the desert colors there. The under jumpsuit is a sand color, easy enough to get a jump suit. The holsters and pouches are cloth so you can't just paint them or it will look terrible, and the demo charge is in a cloth bag, so it stay green just like the backpack because you probably aren't going to get them re-issued between campaigns. Weapons are fickle things and most guys are just superstitious when it comes to those, so obviously these guy's are superstitious and won't repaint paint them. Goggles, one eye is for infrared and the other for zoom, hence the two colors.
