From JamesM: Primaris Jump Assault Squad (37 points)

Hi folks,

Another small entry of bigger than usual models from me. A squad of five Primaris assault marines of the Crimson Fist chapter. These are the newer GW figures, wearing the jump-pack-equipped version of Mk.10 armour. 


At the end of December, I used this squad in a basecoat stage for our club's 'one-page rules' tourney. They were less effective than I'd hoped, but fingers crossed, now that they are properly painted, their performance will increase!



Still, they are cool models with lots of nice details. I've decalled them up as per the rest of my painted collection of these marines. Rather than putting them on flight stands, I decided to have them land, take off, and leap over piles of rubble. This should hopefully provide a bit more stability than flight pegs. 


In total points, 5 x 40mm minis are at 35pts in total. 

TeemuL: A nice group and variation for the wintery theme we have had today. I guess I have painted one squad of those, too, and I have another one in a box. Crimson Fists are iconic part of the 40k lore and you have done terrific job on highlighting them. Extra mention to the dusting of legs and tying them to the bases. I'll give a small bonus for the overall effect.

  1. Great work on these Crimson Fists, James! How did you find the One Page Rules? Good for the tourney?

    1. Seemed very straight forward, but more emphasis on shooting. Tanks are scary. Very tactical with alternating activations.

    2. They worked pretty well . 7 turns made the games tight and focussed too .

  4. Wonderful painting on these. I like the bases and weathering. Surely they will do better next outing looking like this.

  5. Very nice! I like the stability of these, but there is something about flight stands that appeals to me... Great basing as well. I'm keen to try OPR sometime.
