Today's Hobby update sees two completed squads for my Dark Angels army.
I painted these two squads up for my London GT tournament army. The recent FAQ has perhaps made the Scout squads a bit less essential to an army, thanks to no more turn 1 deep strikes outside the enemy deployment zone.
However, I think they are still a useful addition to the army, as even on the later turns, you want to keep the enemy army away from your forces and the Scouts are good at doing that.
I think these turned out ok. I've no idea why, but I've never really enjoyed painting Space Marine Scouts. They are great looking models, but for some reason, whenever I paint them up, they just look weird to me.

With the Scouts completed, I only have a few more units left to finish in the couple of weeks before the tournament.
Awesome, they look great! Suits your scheme, cream bone cloth and green Scout Armour. Faces always put me off, but I need to paint up some more myself, firstly some snipers. You are a painting machine mate!
ReplyDeleteCheers Siph! Yeah, they are a great unit to have in the army. I think they are a bit less essential now thanks to the FAQ somewhat limiting alpha strike armies in the first turn.
DeleteNearly there!
ReplyDeleteYes! Only a few more units to go and I am ready. Actually thinking about going back to do some edge highlighting on my Ravenwing units in the army to bring them up to the same standard.
DeleteGet the other units wrapped first, then come back if time allows. One of the nice parts of adding finish touches is that there's no pressure to get it all done on the first sitting. Just add detail as you learn more.
DeleteHaving painted a bunch of the Jes Goodwin metal Scouts, I always find the plastic ones feel kind of funky and awkward while I'm working on them. Yours look nice, tho. Got a dark enough green and cream to keep off the Christmas look that can occasionally hit Dark Angels with the red weapons.
ReplyDeleteDamn! I wish my modelling skills were better, I could totally add Santa hats to all my Scouts ;)
DeleteThanks WestRider.
