Ironclad Dreadnaught and Drop Pod

A lot of my hobby time recently has gone into a Space Marine army. For various reasons I decided this time I'd go with a self made chapter. The main reason is it allows me to use miniatures from multiple other chapters and fight other Imperial factions, as I can tweak the fluff to suit whatever.

I went with a silver and blue scheme, inspired somewhat by the Astral Claws scheme. It's fast to paint, looks pretty good and is fairly bright compared to my previous Iron Hands marine army.

Chapter name and symbol are still TBC.

I've made several attempts to photograph my progress, but capturing the blue has been difficult. Today I had some time and there was a bit of sun so I used natural lighting. Much better! Not perfect, but not too bad.

Imperial Fist Sternguard

It's been a long time since I updated this thing, and I'd like to get back into posting on a regular basis.

To start with, here's some nice shots of the Imperial Fist Sternguard squad I painted on commission for a friend.

Iron Hands Deathwatch Marine

One of my friends at a forum I frequent is in the midst of a pretty cool project. A Deathwatch marine army, where each member of the community paints up their own marine, and then mails it back to him. They chose their chapter and paint it according to their own style and skill. The army will be getting a unifying set of resin bases once it's done. I think it's going to look pretty cool. It' will be using the Grey Knights rules to represent the fact that each marine is an individual, and the elite/weird/specialist loadout of each guy.
Anyway, as my Imperial Chapter of choice is the Indomitable Iron Hands, I had no choice. Here's my marine!

The whole army will be getting resin bases, so he's just super glued on there. I slopped some Citadel Texture paint on quickly for the photo tho.
