Well, I realised a while ago that I'm a bit of an idiot. Because the sign up thread for ToP was posted some time in September I got the idea in my head that the first deadline was on the 15th of October (as opposed to the 15th of Nov.).

This has meant that I had already finished my tactical squad entry by that date and was ready to submit them before I realised my mistake. Doh!

So, not wanting to wait a month to submit them I've just decided to not use them in ToP - I'll just probably paint up a second tac. squad for my last entry.

Anyway, treating this a bit like a more general WIP thread, as opposed to a ToP one, I have attached some photo's of the completed tac. squad. Apologies for the lighting on some of the photos, they didn't work as well as I would have liked.

As you can see I've used a number of bits from the DA Veterans box, including some of the Veteran torsos. I decided to paint these marines in brown robes instead of the traditional Deathwing Bone for a few reasons. Primarily I think that bone robes stick out far too much in a dark green squad, I wanted them to look like a coherent unit. It also means that if I do ever get a veteran squad they will look distinct, as they should. And of course, the brown was far easier to achieve! Any thoughts on if this look works?

Any comments and criticisms are very welcome, there are more photos on my blog.
