Silver Eagle Tactical Squad Complete

Well, what a fantastic little side-project! I think they turned out great, and I'm even considering painting up more Space Marines to make a small Silver Eagle army. That's probably just another hobbying pipe-dream that I'll never get around too, but at least I've got a tactical squad to build up from.
Oh, I touched up the white shoulders on my Sergeant (after some helpful forum feedback), and my buddy gave me a nice photo background that I've started using.

Still waiting on those bases, so I guess when they come around I'll finish these guys off and take another happy snap.

Anyways, now that this is done, I'm free to start on the contents of Project Pandora! Stay tuned!

Silver Eagle Combat Squad

I finished off the other three Silver Eagles last night, and the Combat Squad is lookin mean. The other five marines are assembled and undercoated, ready for some paint tonight to round off the Tactical Squad.

Oh, I’m waiting on a delivery on some Back-to-Base-ix Industrial bases, to complete the Space Ship Interior aesthetic I’m going for.

Project Pandora: Grim Cargo should be arriving in the mail any day now and my excitement is tangible! Painting up these marines have achieved my goal of stemming my excitement somewhat, and also helped me get back into a painting groove.

Hopefully PP:GC will arrive before my next post!

Silver Eagle Sergeant

I made this guy from my 'box-o-marine' parts, so he's a mish-mash of bits - I think his bolter arm is from the Dark Angel Veteran sprue, his power fist is from the Space Wolves Marine sprue, his backpack is from the AoBR Sergeant... no idea where the head came from though.

I went for a bit more of a dynamic pose, which stands out amongst the rest of the AoBR marines I'm painting up for the squad. I got some good work done on the rest of the marines too, but I'll just post photos when I've finished a Combat Squad, then the full Tactical Squad.

Silver Eagle Complete

Here’s a shot of my completed Silver Eagle Space Marine, with the highlighting all done. I’m quite happy with the colour scheme, and I’ve got another 4 marines (including a Sergeant) base coated, washed, and ready for their final coat.

Hopefully I can knock out the Sergeant tonight, and make some progress on the rest of the Combat Squad.

Stay tuned, more Silver Eagles to come!

Sync's Silver Eagles

So, here’s what I did with an old Assault on Black Reach Space Marine I had lying around. The Silver Eagles are an existing Space Marine Chapter I found online, and since there I couldn't find any background or pictures, I thought I'd take some creative liberties.

I did fiddle with a few other colour schemes before settling on this. I found it quite difficult coming up with an original colour scheme. Well, at least I think it’s original – I haven’t seen any Space Marine chapter like this before, but then again I'm not too well versed on current Chapters of the Imperium.

Anyways, I seem to have misplaced my ‘box-o-marines’ but hopefully I’m able to find the rest of the squad before I finish painting the 5 marines I did find!

I'm pretty happy with how this guy turned out but I'll touch up the highlights, so more photos to come!
