Test beds

Older minis that have fallen by the wayside as it were, still some of the schemes are interesting:

Revilers Tactical Marine

The Reviler was just an exercise in painting thin coats to get smooth coverage, the figures before this one were painted straight out of the pot, no thinning, no pallette, rather barbaric really...

Like the Raptor - colour is from Insignium Astartes rather than Codex: Space Marines, which is why it's Goblin Green rather than Camo Green.

The Blood Claw - the metal shoulder pads look so much better than decals...

The Salamander sports a rather rough GS bionic eye in a truly garish yellow but I am rather fond of the gold...

The Ultramarine - meh, he's OK, needs more highlighting really but the pose is quite neat, must use it again somewhere...

Ahh, the old Space Wolf Captain miniature, not sure I've really done it justice but it's not too embarassing paintjob I guess, GS 'snow' base with bolter shells, mmm, cliched...

The Blood Angel has highlights but you can't see 'em in the pic, still they could stand to be a bit more noticeable, the base is kinda cool though.

The Dark Eagle is an experiment in Polly-S paints, they're quite nice it's just a pity I can't find more of them, particularly the reds which I've heard are excellent.
