Warhammer 40K: Dark Talon, Tactical Marines, Company Veterans Complete

Just spent the day getting overdue models done, primarily the Dark Talon.

Dark Talon
 
 
 
This took me quite a while to decide how to paint some of the key part especially the white of the wings as unit on the box had a blue tinge towards the tips. Tried to emulate that with Guilliman Blue without success. At least now we have one more major unit out of the to do list. I will be adding some close ups later. Enjoy the closeups below.

 
 


Tactical Marines
Have not quite decided which squad in the 5th Company they will join. Not even sure if they will be devastator or tactical squad. Perhaps at a later time, the accompanying insignia will be painted.

Company Veterans
 
Part of this company will be joining the Command Squad (since the Company Champion is completed). The rest will be assigned to various squad in the 5th Company. Despite having done my roster, I will be assigning them all to specific squads at a later time.

As a preview on the 5th Company roster (1915pt),
- 1st Tactical Squad (1 Plasmagun, 1 Heavy Bolter) (175pt)
- 2nd Tactical Squad (1 Plasmagun, 1 Multi-Melta) (175pt)
- 3rd Tactical Squad (1 Plasmagun, 1 Missile Launcher) (180pt)
- 4th Tactical Squad (1 Plasmagun, 1 Missle Launcher with Flakk Missile) (190pt)
- 5th Tactical Squad (1 Plasmagun, 1 Plasma Cannon) (Dark Vengeance) (180pt)
- 6th Tactical Squad (1 Plasmagun, 1 Lascannon) (185pt)
- 1st Assault Squad (2 Flamer) (190pt)
- 2nd Assaunt Squad (2 Plasma Pistol) (210pt)
- 1st Devastator Squad (1 Heavy Bolter, 1 Missle Launcher, 1 Plasma Cannon, 1 Lascannon) (210pt)
- 2nd Devastator Squad (1 Multi-Melta, 1 Missle Launcher with Flakk Missile, 1 Plasma Cannon, 1 Lascannon) (220pt)

I have yet to decide the exact gear for each of the squad's sergeants. All of them will be veterans for 10 points each.

From what I can see from your photos, those are really awesome looking whites. It's NOT easy to paint white and you did a good job. Nice work on the Dark Talon overall too. Though personally I don't really think the Dark Angel 'plane' is very aerodynamic. ^_^

Hehe Thanks. It looks good only from far but still needs plenty of improvement up close as there are still streaking and clouding not obvious in the shots.

I don't think aerodynamic was they key when this designed this. But it does certainly look good.
