Astartes of charity marine, and a chaos havoc

A couple of new painted miniatures. The first one is for the Astartes of Charity fundraiser for Cancer Research, which I had the pleasure of contributing toward along with 99 others.

This guy's been kicking around for a while and I finally got around to finishing him.

Finished him off. Excuse the glare, it's a very bright day.

Someone else painted a pair of yellow stripes on their marine, so I copied it. The grenade is purple to match the colour of the charity.

Cork base. I wasn't brave enough to try glow from the lens, this time.

Devastator Squad marking. Shoulder pad repurposed from Chaos marine (the whole guy had to be scraped together from the bits box).

Astartes of Charity: 100 painters, 100 Space Marines, for cancer research

I'm delighted to be a part of a spontaneous group of 100 or so painters on facebook who are going to do what the blog entry title says. I've got randomly assigned a standard marine with standard equipment, so I'm trying to do the best I can by using interesting components and as good a paintjob as I can manage. 

The camera is HARSH! I am much happier seeing the miniature a couple of feet away on the table surface! It looks great there!

I also tried some freehand on the shoulder, and scope lenses. The eye lenses are frustrating me though.
