Getting some decals on today

Much as I might have lost my heart to earlier marines, my god do these feel wonderfully nostalgic. It really was a boom time for the game. These look great, the blue/yellow is a great look and the red bolters scream 2nd I've a few of this era to add to my marines at some point.

Think you've done a grand job on this lot, I was going to say I think I'd still be tempted to drill out the launcher barrel, but I see you've blacked it in which works.

Lovely stuff.

 

[Rovert]

I may still drill it out tbh

 

[The Serene Badger]

I'm always torn between drilling for aesthetics and not damaging the model.

Yeah, that's what stopped me. But it does look better

I particularly worry with big plastics where they might be hollow inside, especially if I didn't put them together

 

[Brother Meredith]

Drill baby, drill!!

 

[TeylaAmmagen]

Oh this brings back all the best nostalgia love this

 

[Rovert]

Still working on the Ultras. But as always I can't not get sidetracked. So I have started a Imperial Agents Arbites 2nd ed force too.

 

[Brother Meredith]

Nice! Assume those Arbites are 3d prints? Decent take on the originals designs. 😁

 

[Rovert]

Yeah they are

 

[Brother Meredith]

The crashed Thunderhawk is cool too!

 

[ManicMan]

Arbites as in Arbitors? I personally would have just got some of the original Judge Dredd retools that Foundary got into production.

 

[Rovert]

Arbites from the Imperial Agents list in the black Army book for 2nd edition. I don't like crossing the streams too much. Even though you can tell the old design is heavily influenced by JD

 

[ManicMan]

okay, while I play (or played) 2nd, I didn't really go into that side ^_^ Just my Space Wolves with some Orks (though I have some eldar now)..

fair enough ^_^
