Just finished my Vanguard Squad. Here are the pics.

Love it. What did you get the backpack from the Vanguard Sergeant(the one with the wings and skulls and such) off of? I don't think I've seen it...or did you convert it? Anyway..even though it's Smurfs, +rep!

Nice job, does this squad come to about 500ish points?

 

[Skartooth]

They look so awesome :shok: I so wish I could paint like that

Very nice painting Gareth. I've always admired your work and this squad doesn't change my mind one bit!

I really like the eye lense and the way you've made them stand out among the rest of the model. Have some rep for a very very nicely painted bunch of miniatures!

Really top notch painting, the white respirator on the sergeant is a very nice look. Freehand is beautiful again, as always. :victory:

very nice models. I like the lenses and the metallics look great.

Shrike's jump pack( the sergeant's one) I'm not sure if the bird skull looks out of place or not. I'm drawn to it but not sure if it's bad or good drawn ha.

They are great!

Tarnation! I was hoping to be first to post a squad full of Storm Shields
Very nice work mate. Where di you get the jump pack for the sergeant/leader?

i am not a fan of blue, sir, but those marines look wonderful! +rep for the respirator being color matched to the armour trim alone :grin:

Yeah it's Captain Shrike's jump pack. Had it knocking about the bitz box from an old trade.

The unit comes to 470pts!

That would explain it. I never paid attention to the Shrike model much, as I don't play Raven Guard, so I didnt recognize the jumpack. It looks great, though! The skull doesnt really look out of place..looks like a trophy which never looks out of place on veterans or Sergeants.

now that you mention trophy it just fits now so it's all good ha. curse my indecisive eyes! It is nice to see a non metallic respirator too. Might have to try that myself some time
