Welcome fellow Grognards and Young Guard!
This will be my final post for 2024, so fitting to FINALLY post the Tiger Claw Space Marines I have been working through the year to paint. Not claiming they are all done (still many primer coated minis and vehicles in the box yet to paint) but I was able to get a substantial number of them painted. I polished off the final mini for the year today, the Tiger Claw Librarian below.
The list of completed minis goes as follows:
Two Predators
One Rhino
One Razorback
One Devastator Squad (10 minis)
Two Assault Squads (w/ jump packs) (20 minis)
Two Tactical Squads (20 minis)
Two Terminator Squads (10 minis)
Librarian
Chaplain
Regarding the decals, I tried creating my own waterslide transfers, but failed epically. So, I printed them on paper and applied them to the vehicles with wood glue over the paint. Initially, I did not leave a large black space around the icons, but added them on later iterations, so some of them are not quite 'round' but I think I hid them well enough to pass.
Also, as far as the squad icons, I used the 'up arrow' for Tactical, the 'triangle' for Devastator, and the 'X' for the Assault squads. Made it easier to paint them on. BTW...the Tiger icons on the marines are all freehand paints as well.
Hope you all enjoy!
Stay safe, have a Happy New Year and Best Wishes in 2025!
Until 2025...have some pork, sauerkraut, and mashed potatoes!
