Marines - Brotherhood of the Blade

[SouperJim]

Thought I'd post the gallery I just knocked up for my Blade Brothers. 1500 point list at the moment, squad markings and banners still to do...



The rest of the gallery is here (dial-up peeps beware, lots of fairly big pictures). There are a few necrons in there too, my green skullz

Not too shabby. I definately like the turquoise-ish color, and that dread looks pretty nice.


Keep it up!

[Ultra_16B]

Looks good. Don't see much turquoise, and the colors look great from what I can see.
I like the extra touch of a banner in each squad.

not too shabby. i like te colour scheme.

i also really like your necrons, especially the destroyer with the neon green and black. very cool

[Evil-Termite]

I like your paint jobs and your models. They are painted well and have a nice color scheme. I haven't seen too many pictures with full armies that are mostly painted so I really enjoyed looking at your pictures.

Thanks for the comments, the blue is enchanted, with ice blue drybrush. Looks a little turqoisey in the photos, depending on your monitor I guess, but looks more electric blue in the flesh.

I've gone for a banner pack on each sarge/lead character to make the squads stand out and give them more identity, nice to know someone else likes this look! Some fluff/modelling info: all ccws are the same flat edged blade from an old assault sprue, power swords are space wolf gladius style sword. All standard marines have the old rtb01 mk6 womble helmet... only way I could get enough of them! Chapter badge is the crossed swords assault pad, have got a design in progress in photoshop to copy onto the chapter banner. Am also thinking I might freehand some artwork onto the rhino armour.

The predators are named (or will be when I get my fine detail brush out) Caliburn and Caladbolg, rhinos are Durendal and Balmung... its all sword related, paste them into Wikipedia if you're interested! Am thinking Dark Angel spin-off chapter, but haven't made a firm choice yet.

I really like your color scheme, something different from the plain old Blue. Very cool.
