Here he is.

The Red Scorpion Captain is very nearly finished. Pics to come in a few hours.

Completed Project Ciaphas Cain, Finished, Painted

OK, well today I finally got around to finishing this squad (it’s been 3-4 weeks now). I’m not going to show the “work in progress” shots this time round and just proceed to the finished stuff.

The order was for a 10 man Tactical Squad all equipped with mk V heresy armour. The client was very helpful in requesting details for individual members. All the models are fully WYSIWYG, mounted on 40mm bases. The client intends to replace the blank shoulder pads with pre-sculpted pads that he already has. Although these were quite difficult to make, now that they’re finished I find myself wanting to keep them (I picture them as an Ultramarine honour guard, but that’s just me). The client might (no promises) start up a project log of his own whilst painting them, which I’d love to see and if so I’ll obviously provide a link.

All the models use the standard power armour marine arms. Although terminator arms (trimmed down) work well too, these are a perfectly viable option.

Note:some of the blank pads have a notch missing out of the front. I didn’t have any others spare at the time for their “finished photos”, but as I said they’ll be replaced by the client.

And here’s the the thirty-odd individual photo close ups (may as well go the whole way, right?).

Squad Sergeant - he has swapable magnetized arms

My personal favourite model in the squad

Scratch built bionic leg.

Can't go wrong with a Plasma Cannon (unless it vaporizes you!)

There are more photos in the directory if anyone wants more views http://masteroftheforge.com/images/june09/mkvsquad1

Finally a size comparison shot (with Bob the Lamenter).
