Hi, here's my first real post. I've been lurking around for a while enjoying all the discussions and pix, but have run into a roadblock. A bit about my predicament. I generally paint on commission, but have started to assemble a few forces to sell as blocks.
I am sitting in front of about .66 of a company worth of marines trying to get going. I can't decide whether I should just suck it up and paint them in the 'smurf' style so they'll sell, or whether I should do something that might be a bit more fun and less seen (a chapter w/o their own codex) so someone who is looking for something a bit more exciting than our boys in blue might be attracted and willing to fork over some $$$ for a well put together unit.
I was thinking about the following (in no particular order)
1; Red Hunters
2; Sons of Medusa
3; Doom Warriors
4; Skull Bearers
5; Imperial Harbingers
6; Relictors
7; War Bearers
8; Imperial Hawks
The unit pix are available on GWs website http://us.games-workshop.com/games/40k/spacemarines/painting/sm_gallery/1.htm
if you don't know what they look like.
I'm not really interested in making up my own chapter, as these won't be staying with me.
thanks for any feedback you all might have. Any other outside suggestions would be appreciated too :yes:
