I keep finding it amazing that 1,000 points can be just 17 models for Marines in 40k 2nd Ed, especially when a decent battle size is around 1,500 pts (a little too easy to break at 2k imho).
Anyway, here they are! For a later project to expand to 1.5k, I'm looking at working out a Techmarine, Rhino, Dreadnought and some sniper Scouts.
Added to my Tactical Squad and Assault Terminator squad, this makes 1,000 completed points of Sadboys to play in my local group's 2nd Edition games!
Getting them ready for some 2nd Ed, 3rd Ed or Liber Badab 40k games. They're 3rd Company for the red aesthetic, and 6th Squad as that might be the least important of the Tac squads - extremely on brand when I inevitably can't roll 3s to save them.
Locally we are running a Blanchitsu Challenge to paint something inspired by, or in the style of, John Blanche in honour of his legacy. Here's my effort, painted (mostly) with his Masterclass Volume 1 series from Army Painter.
