[Warfork 40.000 - Rogue Rules]¶
Imperial Flush Space Marines¶

Today I put the last touches to the command models:

The lieutenants have personal heraldy on their right shoulder pads, and on the upper leg/shoes. Both models had two stripes sculpted on the left arm, which I also painted in yellow like the rank badges on the Sergeants. Both officers have a plume on their helmet which I painted in a darker blue than the other blue parts on all the models.

The Captain has quite some parts painted in gold to distinguish him even more than his helmet already does.

The apothecary has a white right shoulder pad and helmet, both showing the Helix badge in blue. Otherwise, the apothecary is painted like a common Marine.

The Librarian is mostly clad in a dark blue robe. The Lexicanum badge is painted on his forehead, he also has a gold decoration on the helmet.

Next steps are painting the rocks on all the bases.

The command models are being painted, here the current status.

During the last two weekends, I was also working on my Terminator models, here the current status:

They are ready to be glued together, I only need to do some sculpting work on the right arms, where I cut off the original weapons.

Last squad done. Now only the command models, medic and psyker are missing.

With the last squad nearly done, and only the command models left for painting, I started to work on the last models of these alternative Space Marines. Don't ask my why, but when I prepared the other miniatures, I did not prepare the Terminators - time to change that.

The models are again from Alternative Armies, Desteria models:

I have two arm variants. One of the right arm shown below I will use as a heavy flamer. All the other weapons will be replaced, see below.

The hammer will again be given to the squad leader, as with the other models. All weapons, except one heavy flamer (see above), will be replaced by the miniguns shown below. All these weapons are from http://maxmini.eu/.

The models were delivered with the round lipped bases, which I will replace with the old style ones.

I also tried to fit the models to a 25mm base, as the Terminators in Rogue Trader were, but they are way to large.

The second to last squad is done. Only one more and the commanders to go.

Another squad done. As with the other squad, all the exposed flesh areas will be painted in one go across all the fire teams.

After only three month, the next fire team is done.

At this rate it will only take me another year for the whole force...

After quite some time I finished the second fire team. With this group of models I made up my mind of where to put the blue/white checker pattern I planned from the start.

I updated the first fire team accordingly. I also removed the fire team marking on the helmets, which absolutely did not look good. Need to think of something else...

The first fire team is done. On the left shoulder pad the chapter symbl is missing, but this I first need to design and have printed as decals.

I painted a fire team designation on the helm, which is hard to see in the photos, and which also does not look good in real life... I have to come up with something different. In the end I can always paint it on the base, but I would like to have it on the model itself.

The rank designation of the Corporal is, according to the Roge Trader Space Marine painting guide, meant for Sergeants. I will try to give my Sergeants a double chevron - sufficient brush control provided.

I shaded the models. Black for the metal, black/brown for the red areas, SSW yellow snow for the shoulder pads and Woodgrain for the... wait for it... wood.
