What? Is this guy a freak? He's pumping out models like nobody's business!Well not really. Both these models and the Chaos Cultists from earlier in the week were started last month and I'd been spending the odd hour here and there painting them up.
Having invested a little bit of time in preparing my painting set-up such that I can be painting within minutes and pack away the gear in a similar amount of time makes a huge difference - it means that 15mins can be used productively. Anyhow, back to the minis...
This squad of 10 Space Marines were acquired assembled and despite a couple of setbacks (FYI avoid using 20 year old waterslide transfers) they turned out very nicely - I'm looking forward to including them in a game soon!
The Commissar was sourced through the NWA's club Secretary James - I'm always looking out for a character and this bloke fits the bill. I used basically the same painting techniques on him as the Marines - somewhat in an attempt to create a sense of uniformity - and it worked.
I was very restrained in my dry brushing this time around and I think the models are better for it. Also I trialled a 'glowing' plasma effect which added to the overall appeal of the models - something I'll definitely do again some time.

Now I've just got to work out what's going to be promoted to the (Painting) Bench and get some game time in with our newest additions.
