Title: Novogord's Astral Claws
Post by: Novogord on January 31, 2012, 08:56:39 PM

Hello WE,

Since I'm painting figures for the 2012 painting challenge, I will start a log of my Space Marines army.
These will be Astral Claws, but with the rules from Blood Angels.
I'm planning on a 1750 point list (which will follow).
But now some of my first marines that will be in the force:
The Captain I painted this month.

Nice paint job.  I like the scheme too.

What model did you use for the captain?

I like the sandbags a lot lots of Sherman ww2 feel to it. The marines look great.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!  :happy:

@Sig & Fandir: The Sherman look at the end of ww2 was indeed a great example for this Rhino. I think that a city fight environment requires something special to be done at your tanks. I'm only wondering if I will add some stuff to my Land Raider to, not sure jet. And how I will do it...

@ Mr. Rufus: I have already started!

@ Finlay: I'm hoping I can field a whole painted army by EB...

Sorry I missed this before.

Looks like some good detail has been included on the bases, and a nice weathered look to the Space Marines. :eusa_clap: :icon_cool:

Looking forward to seeing the Rhino when its completed.
