Finally! It took me forever to finish this Scout Squad but I think I know the reasons for this delay. I didn't like the colour scheme and the models. This small project started wrong. No matter how many stores I visited I couldn't find the two boxes of scouts I needed. Finally I was able to get one and thankfully enough I found 5 more in my failed project box. Then misfortune struck again. I lost the lences of the scout night vision goggles, also the gun and the head of Sgt Telion.I improvised for one more time. So, after all those adventures the Scout Squad is finished. Now where are those Grey Knights?
Who's better to lead my new sniper squad than Sgt Telion himself?So I painted the sergeant to match his scout charges guiding them in the hellish desserts of Armaggeddon. But Telion is an Ultramarine. Hmm from now on mine will be named Sgt Draco Kyrion.For one more time stupidity struck me. The model is out of metal and the head and bolter of Kyrion was in a seperate sprue. Well I managed to lose the sprue so I had to swap both with what you see. Not so bad of a result eh?Also, my SternGuard Squad has a new Veteran .Now the said squad is 5 Astartes strong.I hope you like them both
The first five Snipers are ready. I bought the models in Athens and glued them. Unfortunatly I forgot to glue the lences from the Night Vission Goggles the models had and now that I am in Crete I had to impovise. So, without NVGs I painted that section like normal balistic goggles. In transit I lost a head too. So again I improvised (you can't call it a conversion really) and glued in place a naked space marine head. Now where are the other metalic models?
No that isn't what you think.This models are the first two of the Salamanders Scout Squad I want for my Salamander's army. I tried for a desert camo, after all Armaggeddon is a dry place, but ...something seems amiss! Oh well, I hope the next two will look better!
