New bits for Space Marines

I have normally stayed away from GW finecast due to the amount of horror stories I have heard regarding it. This has changed due to two things.  Firstly I was floating around Forgeworlda website and ended up picking up some Ultramarine Rhino doors.

I was very happy with them, and as my other half said had fun ‘pimping up’ the Rhino.

This then lead me down a narrow street that had only one exit and that was to take the plunge, risk the horror stories and purchase my first finecast figure.  I had read in a few different places that the quality over time has actually got better so thought ok let’s give it a go.

The outcome, one Space a marine Captain master of the Marches purchased.

I must say looking over the model I am very happy with the quality and there seems to be no errors.  I now plan on maybe extending my finecast collection to the other specialist captains as well.

now to build him, but that’s for another day as today is a Star Wars day for me.

What have I been working on this week.

So this week, I have gone back to 40k and have started painting up a Tactical squad for the Ultramarines.

Below is part of them.

So far I have only got the base blue complete then shaded with Nuln Oil.  I need to neaten the blue back up before highlighting and then moving on to the next part.

As per usual picking these back up I have made mad plans including a full 1st Company, transports for every squad, ect ect. Will see how long this will last and where I get to, but I am sure there will be some Space Marine models down on my Christmas list!

Also I have just managed to pick up a brand new copy of the first Ultramarine omnibus from Black Libary for £4.50 on ebay.  So thats my reading materieal to keep my interest up.
