r/FirstbornSpaceMarines

Finished up the pushfit tactical squad tonight. They are fourth squad of third company. The squad is comprised of models from the 4th-6th edition starter sets, mixed and matched with varying levels of iconography removal. I’m planning to do a big write up post describing the differences and details of all the old pushfit tac squads but right now’s probably not a good time for it. The important part is that I rescued them their decades long bits box consignment and have pressed them into service. For the cheapest, shittiest space marines you can get, I think they came out pretty sharp.

Wanted this thing forever, super excited to have it for my Chapter

Versatile, based on the heavy and special weapons chosen and the equipment of the veteran sergeant could be wall of fire, troops for controlling objectives, bait to block advances and much more, at an absolutely honest cost in points. <3

Printed off tabards from an stl and I can’t decide if it’s stupid or no one is going to care.

Think I’m gonna redo the axe to be a bit brighter, but pretty happy with this mini as a test for the rest of my squad.

Given to me as a child, these death company marines and their chaplain are finally complete.

These were painted and assembled to very closely match the 90s version of the box art. Down to the rogue trader banner pole for the chaplain and the weapon load outs for the marines. There are obviously modern touches like the power sword shine on the weapons, the lack of boarder on the banner, and the plasma weapon's slight glow.

Overall, I am so happy with how these turned out. I think I have finally figured out a way of painting a black space marine I like quite a lot. I am very happy to add these to the growing 90s style Blood Angels army I have been building up.

Hey yall! I’ve been making a display of the Battle for Macragge including only firstborn marines and 'Nids. Most recently I got done with my Command Squad (LtR: Company Veteran, Company Veteran, Company Ancient, Company Champion), Captain & Apothecary. I think they look pretty good, but I still feel like there’s something missing. If you were making these models, what would you add before priming and painting? Thanks in advance!
