Arctic Marine

The theme for this marine is winter. I imagine him running around in snow and mud all day which is why his armour is in such a bad state. I chose white because of the winter theme and then I used blue and turquoise because they are cold colours, to further emphasize the arctic cold. I like him a lot, especially the rust and the dirty white armour. The base is made from two pieces of plasticard and some pieces of paper clip to pin them together. Because I don't have any snow material I just mixed sand and white glue for the snow effect. I think it looks OK, but I think I will invest in some real scenic snow soon. Hope you'll like him! /Anja

I really like the scheme, I think this was in a recent White Dwarf. My only criticism is that I don't like the bases where they all seem to be standing on raised plating. I just get this image of the entire army standing on these weird little raised plates. Why are they there? Why all the plates? IMHO, it just detracts. Otherwise, you have a great scheme and the shoulder insignia is a great way to designate different troopers in the army.
