Space Marine Journal -10/11 update terminator pg 7

Here is the start of my Space Marine Journal.

It started with the hunt for a color scheme. I've settled on the following after several plays on Bolter and Chainswords Marine painter 3.0.

Here is a first attempt to duplicate the recipe on a Macrage Marine. The base isn't finished and he doesn't have a back pack but I think the scheme carries well to the figures.

The biggest issue was finding the color brown I needed in a spray. I settled on Tamiya Red/Brown. It matches the VMC English Uniform and allows for easy bench touch ups and inks easily with black.

I haven't settled on a chapter icon. I also plan to use the decals versus painting although I am tempted to order the should pads from the online store with the squad designations.

Later, John

Shawn Kilgore had a similar scheme a few GTs back. A whole army in that scheme will look fantastic on the tabletop John. Well done.

Welcome to the darkside Wink

Hey John, another thing to think about when it comes to space marine color schemes is what to do for veteran squads and the like. You will see in the marine codex that most chapters do something to denote what type of unit they are (some just use different shoulder icons, whereas others use different helmet colors and so forth).

Worth thinking about though.

Looks nice though, glad to have playing 40k! Welcome to the downward spiral (or is it upward? Smile

)

Using the same as on the sergeant (who is a vet) would work, just on an entire squad.

You probably have this covered too, but you should make sure to designate squads correctly (if it matters to you). So 9th + 10th in a regular marine company are devastator squads, 7th + 8th are assault and the others tactical.

Just so nobody thinks I'm slacking I've been spending the last week taking figs off sprues, cleaning and assembling. Here is my army to date. I still have a some more units to assemble and clean (Termies - old and new, Assault troops, and 15 more Tactical Marines.).

Figs look to need a little dusting. The Troops were prime sprayed with my new airbrush. I hope to use it on the armor.

Vindicator -

Rhino

Whirlwind with the indirect missle format.

Land Raider

Scouts

Devastator Squad

5 man Maccrage Tactical Squad.

10 man Tactical Squad -
