#10 - Space Marine Tactical Squad & Rhino/Razorback

I've been awfully busy this last week, hence the lack of activity. Since I have exams coming up in less than a month's time, updates will be somewhat sporadic, but I'll do my best to post a post every week with some meaningful content.

Anyway, onto today's stuff: a Space Marine Tactical Squad built for my currently non-existent Ultramarine army!

Cleaning, building and assembling all of these models has been tough, but the effort has been worth it and I'm satisfied with the results. I also managed to assemble the Razorback/Rhino and I look forward to painting it. Actually, come to think of it, I don't think I've painted a vehicle since five-six years ago, so it'll be an interesting learning experience!

Next update should be next week-end and I'll hopefully have five fully-painted Space Marines. Anyway, thanks for looking!

#9 - Ultramarine blue test model

Yet another test model that got a lick of paint. This time, I tried to get a blue that would look good for Ultramarines and ended up just painting his arm.

If I may say so myself, the result is rather decent and I'm rather happy with the highlights. Some are a bit thick and/or messy, but with practice I'm confident that those minor issues will disappear.

Another thing I'm rather happy with is that I managed to paint the armour using only two paints (Regal Blue and Ushabti Bone), some painting medium, an ink (Winsor & Newton blue ink) and a wash (Army Painter Strong Tone). So yeah, pretty good result all round!

I'm going to scale this up now and paint a full model, to see how it feels. With any luck, I'll enjoy it enough to be willing to do it on more than one model!
