For no reason at all, I dubbed a set of three models, of which this is one, the Forgotten Plague Marines. This story is recounted elsewhere. The model itself isn't bad though a bit boring. I did a conversion of this model, making it hold an autocannon, but that model doesn't serve any useful purpose in the game any longer. This unconverted one, I stripped and repainted while in Japan. It came out well, with lots of dirty brass.
With this batch of models I did no dry brushing of metallics, so the dull rusted steel/iron color is completely absent from this model. I came to the conclusion that I like a mixture of metallics rather than everything being silver or brass. The previous model has both a dull steel and dirty brass metallic bits. So you can compare and contrast them yourself.
