My problem is that those miniatures are scattered across several armies and I'm loathe to repaint them, as some are very well painted.<br /><br />As for the myth of 10 Space Marines not fitting into the old Rhino, I remind you of Mike Major's (you might know him I think :) project where he set out to prove bust that myth, and fully detailed and crewed a Rhino, full of marines.

T...Mate.... what the f*#k are you talking about.... Those hand painted fist symbols are excellent. And I mean really top notch, they look better than the modern transfers.<br /><br />As a fellow Crimson Fists player I know their symbol can be a b*tch to paint but it's well worth it. I've got some pics on my blog which might give you some ideas of other stuff you can use. I have been collecting fists since I worked for GW over a decade ago and now have nearly two full companies worth of marines!! I just love these guys,<br /><br />Once again top work....I think I'm in love with your models,,,,LegioCustodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13833383911728446032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-49825771117119469322014-02-06T19:39:19.137-06:002014-02-06T19:39:19.137-06:00Nice!

Javi, the "recipe" is not too complicated. <br /><br />I start with a black base, then GW's dark blue (I think they call it "Cantor Blue") as the first colour. An initial, and fairly widespread highlight of a middle blue ("GW Caledor Sky"). I use a bright blue (I think it's "Lothern Blue", but I'm not sure)to pick out the lines on the armour etc. I then hit the whole thing with a wash of GW "Agrax Earthshade" - seems to leave it dark, but with the highlights punching through.Greg Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090722688748673409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-45170305959589354692014-02-06T03:06:21.316-06:002014-02-06T03:06:21.316-06:00I think the older rogue trader figures are better ...I think the older rogue trader figures are better size wise with the newer rhinos. <br /><br />Great looking squad.Simon Quinton https://www.blogger.com/profile/18001946192905517180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-91258697518809418482014-02-05T19:29:34.307-06:002014-02-05T19:29:34.307-06:00I really love how you managed to archive so vibran...I really love how you managed to archive so vibrant colores on a rather dark hued chapter.<br /><br />Would you mind sharing your recipe ?<br /><br />Also like a lot those green eles they got. According to RT book they had yellow dones but IMO green looks better. I might chance mine.javihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00242836231493748919noreply@blogger.com
