#veteran sergeant

My Rejects and their mainstay outfits/equipment.

painted over picture of a painting I did in my sketchbook.

Also pictured is an unidentified Veteran Legionary - presumably from Squad Gyges, when both Gyges and Orestes fought together in the later stages of the Pentokonesian Reconquest. Out of ammunition and far away from resupply, this Legionary is ostensibly about to teach some misbegotten recidivist that an Astartes without a weapon is just as lethal as one that's fully armed.

Tactical Sgt. Leandros of the 244th Company, 24th Chapter of the Ultramarines Legion ( circa006.M31 non colorized...ha). So unfortunately the bulk of my Ultramarines 30k army (including nearly 100 infantry/command of various forms, two sicarans, two land raiders, and several various pattern dreadnoughts) were recently accidently lost/given away during a move. With little hope of getting them back, I'm having to slowly rebuild with what still remained (basically the unpainted stuff which were separate and some of which has been previously pictured on this blog). Today I was lucky enough to discover that I still had a build and primed squad of mk4 tacticals and a few cataphractii termis sitting on my old desk at my parents place. Here is the sgt i had built a few years ago when calth came out. I like to try and make all my sgts/leaders custom to help them stand out and seem like a true hero of the imperium. I've done various forms in different armies of the powerfist holding a sword to give me options haha (don't worry, I always tell my opponent which it is meant to be and have made little counters to put beside/on/with the model when I play to denote what he is armed with.)

Painted up the re-posed tactical sergeant today. I don't think I'm quite done with him. Probably going to add more effects to the power sword and do a bit of clean up here and there. That said I am quite pleased with how this model came out. The gap filling is perfectly passable with the paint on it and it was fun to paint. As usual C&C welcome, or any questions in general. Thanks.

Pictures of my veteran sergeant WIP. This set shows him before washing, immediately after washing, and after tidying up after the washes dried. 

I've been working on my Veteran Sergeant, just painting up his loincloth, chest piece, skulls and stuff. Let me know what you think and come follow my blog :)
