WH 40K Space Marines - Captain Papillon & Sergeant Bullitt

Here are Captain Papillon and Sergeant Bullitt (saving the name of Jake Holman for the Terminator leader).
I'm not good at free-hand lettering, so left off any clever writing on the scroll of the Captain's banner. I did try my hand at painting those electrical currents on the sword.
Still need to get some nice flocking material for the bases - rubble and possibly skulls would be in order. I will take a group photo once I flock all of the bases - including the previously painted Space Marine troops.

  2. LOL! Thanks, James. Appreciate your kind words in spite of the shock of my new endeavor. :) Best, Dean

    P.S. This will likely not last - I'm practically over Warhammer Fantasy already.

  7. Hats off to you for such a big changeup in painting style. I love it!

    Out of curiosity, what put you off WH Fantasy? As I was following you here, I was getting a hankering for fantasy as a break from all my historical.

  10. Thanks for the great comments, Gentlemen.

    I found the "lightning" effect on this site http://dukesinferno.blogspot.com/2011/06/power-weapon-week-how-to-do-lightning.html
    Pretty straightforward technique, with decent results.

    @ Monty - I dunno, not the rules or the figures at all - still like them and will continue to play them. But, I suppose I needed a slight change in painting projects. That said, I have a unit of the newer Hangunners to paint up - picked them up intending to use some to man the airship.

    Warm Regards to all, Dean
