I know, I know; not really a very original title, but I seem to be drawing a blank when it comes to clever titles. Maybe I ought to stop trying to be clever and just get to the point. Which in this case is my Space Marines battle company.
I first started work on my battle company about a year ago. It includes everything that makes up a functioning battle company according to the Apocalypse datasheet and the Space Marine codex, with the slight exception that I field them as Blood Angels instead of “regular” Space Marines. The idea was to use a mainly silver colour scheme to represent the now defunct chapter of the Knights Sanguine, but a year on I’ve only ever managed to paint a single squad out of the 4,000pts worth of Marines that makes up the battle company.
As the local Games Workshop store does not allow people to play in-store using unpainted miniatures this mean I’ve been forced to play at home with only my dad as an opponent, which means I face Dark Angels in every single game I play. So instead I’m going to redo the entire chapter with a new name and history (as yet undetermined) and use the Lord of the Rings Army of the Dead colour-scheme to make an entire chapter full of ghostly Space Marines.
I’ll keep you posted on my (hopefully accelerated) progress!
