I thought that I'd run out of spray varnish, but I found a can in the box where I'd put it so I wouldn't lose track of it, after forgetting I'd put it there in the first place!
This meant that I could varnish some more figures.
First, my second squad of not-quite space marines;
I now have two squads of the basic troop type, which should be fine for gaming purposes.
I have also painted up two five-man squads of Tusculum Nova Elites in Heavy Armour, who bear a slight passing resemblance to Space Marines in Terminator armour;
As my project is all about the Dark Angels, these are obviously the Deathwing. Each squad of five marines has a leader with a storm bolter and a power sword, a marine with an assault cannon and a powerfist and three marines with storm bolters and powerfists.
I really like these minis, they are significantly bigger than the standard power-armoured marines, as befits their status and their tactical dreadnought armour.
My remaining figures for this project should be finished later this week.
