From MartinC Colonial Marines (SciFi Studio) (70pts) (READY)

Starting to get into the swing of it now. These Copplestone Colonial Marine jobs in jungle gear were part of a mystery box (love mystery boxes and lucky bags). The selection was great with 10 blister packs and other bits for £40 (basically <1/2 price). Only 1 blister was not obviously useable - 28mm 7YW Austrians - which is ironic I have tonnes10mm 7YW.

So I got 2 boxes of these to give a 10 man squard. As always they are excellent figures - love Copplestone, in fact Northstar are my favourite manufacturer. Other manufacturers have better figs but Northstar are a style that appeals to me - great gaming figs.

They are a rough tough bunch

Gave them a 2 tone green uniform, these are jungle fighters not parading cockrels. The guy with the notepad will control a drone used for targeting artillery and drones





Overall these are fine, not my best work, but then again most of the painting so far has been a palette cleanser. Now I'm off to paint the rest of my 10mm ImagiNation 7YW Scots army

Scores on the doors 

10x28mm infantry = 50pts
Sci Fi studio bonus = 20pts

total = 70pts

You did well on this mystery box, Martin! I love Copplestone figures. They are great sculpts, with just enough detail and so great to paint. Great job for 'a palette cleanser'! I look forward to seeing your ImagiNation and Scots.
