Shaw3029's pre Heresy Imperial Fist log.

Finished up another 10 bolter marines. They seem to be getting dirtier and dirtier. I now have two completely finished 20 man tactical squads.

Congratulations on the full squads! Your army is brilliant buddy

[shaw3029]

Cheers mate.

One of the squads is modelled as running and the other as standing and shooting so that's how I identify each squad.

Here's a quick shot of my latest sgt.

I also decided to change one of the rapier crews. So here is the newest crewman.

I took some time this weekend to finish the Spartans in between browsing all the great Games Day photos. Loving the new Sicaran, I think I might have to save them for another army...

Spartans!!!

Because I used some crappy asda hairspray he has ended up a bit darker than the others.

I shall have to do something to tie the three together. That is the problem with painting things at different times.

I only have the four members of the command squad to paint up and then the army is mostly "finished". I am waiting on some Matt varnish and then I will go back and tie the army in together. I want to repaint the all the models eyes either a brighter green or red and re do the bases so they all look the same tone.

Cheers!

He has obviously just taken the brunt of the incoming fire!

That maniple is looking top notch mate. As a way to tie them together, how about a bit of friendly competition? Give them all kill markings of some description, perhaps on the big flat area on the shoulder. If they are all done in the same style, it should work quite nicely. Not to mention, the HH books all go on about the Primarchs being driven as much by brotherly rivalries (before the fall of Horus) as anything, so why wouldn't they encourage that amongst their sons? Particularly those that are almost as mighty as the Primarchs in their new iron-forms!
