Given the deluge of marine models posted on CMoN, I suspect this little guy may take a bit of a beating. I'll simply add that this is a actual gaming miniature from one of my army collections and not a display model. My camera has poor wide angle capabilities and squad sized pictures are rather difficult. I can only take credible pictures of single miniatures or very small groupings.

I agree with the others. This is a brilliant piece. The checkerboard, the striping on the sword, the eyes.... I love it.

Impressive, simple impressive. The checkerboard and danger striping have no flaws I can see, and the shading on the armor, expecially the Imperial Eagles are superb. As for the helmet, the eyes have it. Wow. I wish there was a 9.5, the only thing keeping it short of a 10 is the flocking. Maybe some 'static grass' or 'sand & gravel' in one or two small spots would give it that extra 'umph' it deserves. Bravo.

it shows that even the baic marines can look good and get good scores. And if it's your army-standard - you must have a great army. Very realistic looks!

Wow, this really is a great standard for an entire army to be painted at! The blues are really well blended, my only slight beef being that it is a little rough in places. That aside, this is a beauty of a RaF (Rank and File) miniature.

Rene, you deserve a better score than the 7.0 currently posted. As you say SM's are getting a hammerig on the site however this is an excellent example of how to paint the damn things well (& you say this is a table top piece).

Nice! I wish i had the patience to paint like this for tabletop troops. Very nice bleding on the sholder pads and thighs. Subtle but realistic. Good Job!
