![]() ![]() I really quite enjoyed painting these guys. I had never painted Space Wolves before, either, even though I had a homebrew chapter that was a successor to the Space Wolves. I based them with some Vallejo texture paste, which I’ve talked about before–I’m a big fan of their mud effects–and grass tufts. I used Reivers ( Buy in the USA | Buy in UK) and White Scars Upgrade Sprue ( Buy in the USA | Buy in UK). The upgrade sprue for the White Scars has a lot of versatility, not to mention a hand (second from the left) holding a severed head by the hair? Anyway, lots of neat details and good shoulder pads that were easy to paint. I obviously couldn’t go with bikes for the White Scars, which was unfortunate in a Kill Team, but I thought that Reivers would be a good substitute. Still, I like the overall effect better than Apothecary White and will use this in my white armor going forward. I found that it brought out the dark crevices better, though it did need a little more touching up to get it back to a vibrant white. Instead of going to the tried-and-true Apothecary White, I chose to use Soulblight Grey. I have also never painted White Scars before, but I followed a different recipe for them than I had with other white armor. ![]() I based them in the Martian Ironcrust? Ironearth? Whatever it is that Games Workshop makes, and I used a little barbed wire and pigment powders to finish them off. ![]() I used the Intercessors kit ( buy in USA | Buy in UK) and the Dark Angels Upgrade Sprue ( Buy in UK | Buy in USA). (For what it’s worth, the Dark Angel, along with the Raven Guard and the Iron Hands, seem like the only Kill Teams’ armor colors that have any chance of being camouflaged.) I had never painted Dark Angels before, but I had painted Salamanders, so I knew I needed to come up with a different green recipe. I do love these among all the Kill Teams however. The guy in the middle you can see has a vague robe and hood, and he looks… fine? I don’t like him, but there you go. With this Kill Team, I had decided that I wanted to experiment with green stuff to create the robes that Dark Angels wear, and spoiler alert: it did not go well. (I suppose I could have done this without the upgrade sprues, but if I was going in, I might as well go whole hog.)Īnd the results are below. But the fact that Space Marine Kill Teams were built in (generally) five-man squads, it made it cost-effective to buy boxes of ten, and then I just needed the upgrade sprues. I followed the rules of Kill Team 2.0, which sadly offer a little less creativity in list building, a problem I have with Kill Team 2.0 as a whole. (I realized at the end of this project that I neglected both the Grey Knights and the Deathwatch, so maybe I’ll get to them later.) ![]() I do this about once a year, and I love it, but this year I set it as a goal that I would spread my wings a little more and create Kill Teams for each of the original 9 loyalist Space Marine legions (plus the Black Templar). I am an unabashed Space Marine fanboy and in the past I have created at least four complete Space Marine armies, notably the Rock Badgers and The Inferno. I am so excited to finally share the results of many months of labor: creating Kill Teams for all loyalist Space Marine Legions.
