Description So after a detectably uneventful week of taking care of my little cousins, I finally got a sizeable chunk of my guys "finished." There are still lots of little details to be done, and touchups. But it will be a while till they see any squad or possibly chapter symbols.

I suppose I proved just how tough Marines are; as I was leaving my cousins place, (in a frantic rush to jump my somehow dead car battery fast enough to get the littlest one to his bowling thing on time) I decided it a good idea to lean my backpack (which also contained a 500g hard drive, a crappy laptop, and several other of my computer peripherals) against the back tire of my car, instead of safely inside. I didn't realise it was still there until pulled out and was down the street. Not wanting to witness the carnage of my surly crushed backpack and contents, I left it until I got home. Despite the clear tread marks along the top of the bag, everything was fine! Except the marines... The box is a twisted ball and the contents were pulverized. Though a few hours of work I had them all with their limbs, heads, and guns reattached, the worst wound was a single broken leg at the knee which will require more of a touchup then the rest.

At least it was marines, rather then something spindly like Necrons or my Tomb Kings O.O

You can proclaim them all to be battle-hardened veterans who managed to pull through an exterminatus
Very nice and clean models with good highlights. Do not forget to do the bases, though.
