40k2ndACIII Month 5 - 2nd Halfs

Month 5 marks the completion of the final scheduled unit of the challenge. Ive had some great fun doing this so it was great to finish of the planned army list with a nice simple unit with no deadline stress.

Month 1 included the first half of my tactical squad and month 5 rounds off that unit with the squad leader, heavy weapon and 3 tactical marines. As throughout i have tried to add some interest and variation to each model and the same applies here.

The squad leader wears MKVI and is one of the lesser spotted models from the period, having markings on his leg and helmet. The heavy weapon marine is equipped with a missile launcher, styled of the 'very yellow' blood angels art from the Codex. Specifically the white and blue checks and flame wrapped nozzle in a similar style to the devastator completed in January.

The 3 tactical marines each have something unique relative to other models painted so far. #1 has an honour mark (blood drop on white field) on his left kneecap as seen on some early 90's rogue trader blood angels, #2 has red shoulder trim and freehand RT era chapter symbol, #3 is wielding his bolter one handed. Nothing especially flamboyant, but it makes each model unique to me.


So with everything now planned complete, what for month 6? well banners of course. I have plenty to complete now and it will be a great way to wrap up this brilliant challenge!
