Ekfud's 5th Co completion


Ekfud

Recommended Posts

Haven't posted in the BA forums for a while, but have been chipping away at an Oldmarines army over a few years. Very much not competitive, but I always wanted to do a full battle company ever since GW put up pics of demi-company boxes. With the completion of an assault bike squad this week that brings me up to full 10 core squad strength (plus some extras on the side).

Strictly speaking not 100% finished (is an army ever...?); a few squads still need a matt varnish to even out the gloss/decal look on the shoulders & knees. Plus I'm already cleaning up parts for some drop pods and old boxy dreads. It does represent the last of the 'core' company marines though; fully painted and based. And since I had to pull everything out of the cabinet to make room for the bikes it felt like a good time for some quick and dirty pics on the kitchen bench.

Few varied pics here so adding spoiler tags...

Including the tanks I think that makes it 153 models done -

- 6 tactical squads

- 2 devastator squads

- 1 assault foot squad (magnetised for packs/jump packs)

- 1 assault bike squad

- 3 terminator squads (all with magnetised arms & cyclones) [who can be fitted out for space hulk too :-)]

- 10 sniper scouts

- 16 DC (magnetised jump packs)

- DC chaplain

- DC dread

- Lemartes

- 2 lieutenants, medic, ancient, champion, librarian

- Fully magnetised captain (pack & alternate loadouts)

- Terminator librarian

- Terminator ancient

- Mephiston

- 3 rhino chassis (which can be turned into razorbacks; one into a predator as well)

Glorious!
Well done!

Your banners remind me I need to devise my own sigil for the 5th. Perhaps all the better that GW has just revealed extra weapon options for the (Primaris) Ancient. That might be just the motivational kick I need.
