Re: Crimson Fists - Rogue Trader Space Marines
Thank you for the compliment. While I look at that figure and I wish I could paint ALL my figures to that standard. I would simply never get this army done. I'm content that it is all a nice table top standard but, you know, I will probably go back over a few as my skills continue to improve.
Tanks are on hold at the moment as I don't quite have the bits to finish them or the time to fire up the air brush for a 3 tank session. But I've been toying with a Captain in Terminator armour. In the game I played the other day he was a beast! I want one. The figure I used was a terminator from the shooty squad with a captains power fist. (He had it as I didn't have enough bits when I made the squad.) So, break out the drill bits and magnets.
Easy to work with but not man enough for the job.
Pain in the arse to drill but works a treat with great hold!
So now we have the ability for weapon options. i.e to swap the storm bolter for a storm shield when I make it, he now needs a power fist. 8th edition has a relic war gear option for a power fist that is bloody great. You wouldn't leave home without it. Also I have the bits now to take the Termies Captain rank arm and give it to the Termi Captain. The Termi can have a standard arm as is proper and the Termi Sarg has his proper load out and badge already. Perfect. I feel calmer and my ocd is content.
