My hobby time from yesterday consisted of nearly finishing the Dark Angels: transfers are almost all done, just need to do the bases on most of them, and matt varnish them.

I ran out of small 2’s and the large 2’s were too large for the Tactical markings I had mostly used. You can see the size difference above. On the missile launcher Marine, I hand painted the 2 on.

These two have studied left pauldrons, so the right has to have the Chapter Insignia as well as Squad and Designation.

I’m kinda proud of this one too:

The tactical marking is half of a transfer, I then use that as a guide to paint over to strengthen the colour, as the Dark Angel green dulls down the red of the tactical arrow marking.

 

The Sergeant isn’t done, as I’d put a transfer on to his pauldron then decided after it was well and truly dry that it was in the wrong place. I’ve since removed it, so I can put his squad number there, and the other mark will go into his forearm.

 

The other thing was supposed to be DnD but one of our players couldn’t make it, so other plans were made…
