Hello friends,

here is the second batch of tactical marines. I finally have the ten completed! Again I tried to give all of them a nice pose, not the same old bolter-in-front-of-chest look.

A lot of my marines have their combat knifes ready, or have a blade mounted on their bolters like a bayonet. That is because I want them to have a martial look, like they enjoy the close combat.

When I read the Warhammer 30k/40k novels, I always get the feeling the Space Marines -while fighting- switch weapons depending on the situation in an alternating way. A shot from the bolter, next slaying enemies with the chainsword and so on. I like that thought so I gave them the knives. And to make it less boring I gave them different shaped blades. Some are from the Chaos Marine sprue, some are cutted in shape. You can also see some different Bolter versions. Some with scope, some with different magazines. I really want each Astartes having an individual look. Like in the books where they all have their own feature and personality.
