Reinforcements Arrive: Tactical Marine Combat Squad, 2nd Tactical Fully Assembled.

From Stuff I Have Painted: Space Marines

The rest of the boys from 2nd Tactical finally got finished. I will be the first to tell you that I am really disappointed that it took me so long to finish these five miniatures. It is all on me, as there were nights where I didn't follow Picasso's advice, often obeying the voice inside telling me not paint.

It felt good to put this squad behind me. I have done a lot of green lately and am looking forward to taking on something else. That something else being Ravenwing, specifically an attack bike. Working in black has always been a challenge, so I am eager to under take it. Until it pisses me off...

But back to the tac marines. Here is a close up of the Sarge:

Already having one bald sarge, with this guy I attempted to create an effect of closely cropped hair to break it up a little. It met with moderate success, but unless you get up close it just kind of looks like light spot on top of his head.

And here is a quick shot of the whole 2nd Tactical together:

Lastly, for the first time in like 5 years I do, technically, have a painted 40k army. It is only like 840 points, and would get clobbered, but min force org is met. It is a small victory I am going to take. So my take on the 5th company up to this point:
