The Possessed: 1st Model and some Sable Swords

Yet again... I'll have to apologize for the long times between posts. I just recently moved for college, so expect things like this more often. Well until I start getting content from the rest of the group, then I can whip up articles on them instead of what I do all the time :)

As a sort of bonus to his birthday gift chaos lord I'll be working on once I get the bits, I decided to paint his possessed marines as well. I just got my friend's spruce for his possessed marines earlier in the week and ended up a lot more work than I thought. In the picture below it is the fleshy stuff throughout the armor. Took awhile to figure it out, but ended up looking good. The part I was most annoyed about is my nemesis, white paint. Even with a new pot of it I still have to put 2-4 coats on just to get a nice solid look and it still isn't great in my opinion.

In other news I've been working on another tactical squad, Squad Aratus, of Sable Sword marines for my force. The three here are the first and unlike my first tactical squad, Squad Daceus, these guys look a lot more sharp and when I get to the other eight marines, will have more variety in poses. I'm thinking about throwing some Dark Angel bits into some of the other figures to give more character to the unit, especially on Sergeant Aratus himself.

Yup I gave one a bayonet :)
