Marching from Macragge: Squad Judah

Greetings fellow dice rollers. Just finished my first full tactical squad, so I thought I'd share them.

Heres the whole squad. Being normal tactical marines, I didn't think anybody would care to see each individual marine. They are armed with a Grav-Gun, Heavy Bolter, and Sergeant Judah has a Combi-Grav. They will ride into battle in a Drop Pod, and that's the next on my list to build and paint. Here are some highlights:

As always, I apologize for the picture quality, I need to get a better camera and maybe a white box.

I've put the Chapter symbol and squad numbers on each marine, as well as Sergeant and Squad Leader markings on the leaders. This is my first time using the transfer sheets from GW, and I've gotten mixed results. Some have gone on perfectly smooth, while others are already starting to peel a little bit.

This squad was built from the new Tactical Squad box, with some bitz cherry-picked from the new Sternguard box. The new kits are excellent, and each and every bit and component has been completely redone. While they look similar, the details are much crisper, and the poses look a little more dynamic.

Side Note: I've scrapped Sicarius. While he is a solid army buffer, I wanted something a little more killy. So, I give you Captain Macabee. Noticed a theme in the names?

Also, I've given up the "recreating the 2nd Company" from the codex idea, too much inflexibility.

He's got a Thunder Hammer, and the shield can either be the relic, or a standard version.

Until next time, the Emperor Protects.
