+ Monopose Marines: back to the 90s +
+ Darren Latham, one of the GW Studio miniature designers and former 'Eavy Metal painter (and blogger – go check out his blog here), is running an event themed around the marines in the 2nd edition 40k boxed set. Using the tag #90smarinechallenge, the idea is simple: paint up one of the marines, post it on the 2nd September with the tag #90smarine finished. +
+ This seemed right up my street, so I hopped on the rapidly-departing bandwagon to paint up a [REDACTED] for the event. It seemed fitting to do a Silver Star, as one of the seeds for the War of the False Primarch project [+noosphericexloadlink embedded+] was to create a Chapter that had been there all along – both in the lore and the real world. +
+ That conceit rather fell by the wayside, but it was fun to reinvigorate it for this event. Neat how things work out sometimes, eh? +

+ Neat, alas, is not a word that applies well to the actual model. He's not 'officially' finished, but I think I'll step away very soon. One of those rather unsatisfying paintjobs where everything sort of fell into place, and then I faffed and fiddled and started to spoil what I had done. +
+ For the purposes of the event, then, I think he'll serve...
... with perhaps one or two more tweaks... +

He looks great - very nice work!
Fantastic work.
Despite things slowing down the False Primarch project you started is pretty fantastic and a great inspiration. Really itching to paint some Wormwood Sons and Charnel Guard for the conflict soon. It inspired me to give a shot at making my own homebrew Chapter.
