From ArthurS: Born to be blue! (45 points)

 Hoi,

It is Arthur's turn today to get an entry in. I can't do anything myself as next week we will be getting new windows in pretty much all of the rooms in the house including my hobbyroom... Everything has to be put away safely and it feels like I am taken apart my soul and putting it in boxes.

Anyway the lad is less bothered and  has finished his Power Wings' Biker squad. I asked him what I should type alongside his pictures and he gave me a note saying:

"Good day, this is my newest piece of art (not a particularly humble chap is he?) These are the bikers for my own Space Marine Chapter the Power Wings. I do hope you like them. Greetings Arthur"






There's 3 Firstborn bikers as well as an assault bike. Since the Power Wings are supposed to be a Dark Angels successor chapter, I gave him two of my old Ravenwing torsos with special weapons and he painted them up. 


While Arthur is trying to be more precise in his painting, he has some strange colour decissions: the figures were basecoated black, yet he decided to make the tires blue... We took the biker sergeant and only glued his hind wheel to the base and since it is movable he can do a proper wheelie accompanied by all the right sounds and noises of course.

These 4 mounted Marines should be good for 40 points. 

Cheers Arthur and Sander


Those do look great, Arthur! However, you seem to have miscounted - there are five Marines on four bikes, so I'll treat that as four cavalry and one foot for scoring - 45 points for you!

  4. Excellent work Arthur, love the wheelie bike. And of course the ideal weapon for a huge motorbike is an even huger sword.

  9. Well done, Arthur! I see there's some quartered colouring as well, very advanced. The wheelie option is the first step towards the magnets and such like. :)
