Space Crusade Marine

Picked this fella up for 50p second hand, looking at this guy, he is a much better sculpt that the later 2nd box set plastics that came out. At least to my eyes anyway.

Space Marine Scout

Another classic picked up at Smoggycon for a steal, less than a Pound. Now I never liked the look of these old plastic scouts (love the metal and need to get some soon), yet when I picked it up I was amazed at the detail, comparing it to the Necromunda plastics that came out years later, this fellow is a masterpiece, I had to paint him up the minute I got home...Just with they had a heavy bolter or scout sgt there...oh well.

Space Marine Armor Types

A squad of Space Marines made up of various types of Power Armor. From left to right we have, MK I Thunder Armor, MK II Crusade Armor, MK III Iron Armor, MK IV Maximus Armor, MK V Heresy Armor, and two suits of MK VII Aquila Armor.

The older sculpts are still rather nice, and hold up well to todays plastic sculpts, one minor problem is GW supply the set with modern plastic arms and backpacks. These sculpts werent designed with the newer plastics in mind, so there are some size and fitting issues, mainly with the MK I and MK IV armors.

Wolf Scouts

Space Marine Scouts with heads from the Space Wolf set. These are for my post apoc project, though I decided to paint them to match with the Iron Snake Marines I painted a while back. Just wish I'd noticed the plasma pistol arm before I built the Sgt.....

Iron Snake's Librarian

Another miniature that's been sat in the pile for about a year now. Glad I finally got some paint on him. I don't this model is available anymore but theres something nice and simple about his design. Anyhow this brings my Iron Snake's model total up to 6.
While painting the Librarian, I went back and repainted the Brother Sgt's helmet white as it was pointed out to me it was the wrong colour.

Iron Snakes Squad

I picked up a 5 man squad the other week and decided to have a go at a small Space Marine force. I've never been one for the garish red, blues or greens of some of the "big name" chapters, but when reading through a few pages I found the Iron Snakes, well a paint scheme so easy, I had to give it a shot.
