MEDIC !

 As I've started my 1 st Company marines, they need their own air ambulance as I've done for other company's but with relevant looking models, being the veterans I've also increased the firepower of the landspeeder by using a Tornado assault cannon.


All the helmets are Grey Knight's the torso's have the sword in the centre for Wing Knights, and shoulder pads 


Above is a close up of the Apothecary, thought having him shooting while riding in the back would be fun, where I have run out of legs, these used to be chaos ones which I cleaned all the markings off of them, I also added the double helix to both the shoulder pad and chest symbols. Now I just need to get some more veterans ! LOL With this air ambulance finished I need to do two more, one for the 3 rd Company, and one for the 5 th Company, as this is the company I have the most models for, I really should do that one next ! LOL That's all for today, as I really need to get on with some squads for Keith's Forward March Challenge so until next time, stay safe, and have fun !

Cheers Dave

    1. Thank you Michal, got two more to go of these, and want to vary the apothecaries on them, so each one is unique.

  3. My goodness that air ambulance looks precariously balanced, Dave. I'd be terrified to touch it. LOL!! Great paint jobs on both the vehicle and space marines.

    1. Thank you Simon, there is actually a metal rod that goes all the way through the base so very strong, but glad it looks precarious as it gives the look of floating ! LOL

  4. Love the idea of a medic on his transport. Kinda like a MASH chopper in the Korean war. Good stuff mate.

    1. Thank you Dai, grew up watching the series MASH so was the general idea behind these, plus as my chapter isn't at full strength, every marine would be precious to the chapter, so quick medical response would be vitally important ! LOL

    1. Thank you Mr. Martin, getting used to the process as this is the fourth one I've done now, luckily only two more to go, then each company will have their own air ambulance ! LOL

  7. Very nice work on this one, Dave! I like how it is open-air. Those vehicles always look a bit more futuristic to me anyway.

    1. Thank you Jeff, wanted to be able to show the stretchers, so open topped was the way to go, plus marine armour makes them count as closed in ! LOL

    1. Thank you John, each one of the symbols becomes slightly individual as can never get everything the same size or in the same position ! LOL
