In 40K veteran Space Marines are normally in embellished armour, or armour that is only available to them, with one notable exception being Space Wolf scouts, who had a veteran status. Now this may well have changed, as I'm not up to date with GW's rules. As my army relies heavily on scouts, I thought it would be a cool idea to have veteran scouts, as well as normal scouts. To depict the veteran status I decided to paint the armour in my normal chapters colour, rather than the bone colour I normally use (except the sergeant's, which could also be veterans). To further the look as well I've kept the kneepad colour the same as the rest of the armour, instead of the white.
This is the first 5, and I used the scouts from the storm speeder, which gave some quite dynamic poses, the sergeant has a regular marine head with a face grill, to add to the look of his veteran status. I will need to do 5 more to bring it up to a full squad of 10, but will need to find some models first, I may get the new Killteam box to make up a second squad, and also have a stand in for some bikers, but more on that in a later post. So that's all for this post, so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !
