Here’s the next part-painted Squad element of my Mentor Legion. Like the previous models shown, this trio is part of II Company, but this time III Squad.
Of course, with 7 members of the squad missing, these guys are much less impressive, but the important thing is they they got painted and completed – finally.
While I could theoretically combine the two and run them as a single squad (with another proxy thrown in), I think I’ll just get both squads done properly before I let them hit the table. Ordinarily I wouldn’t even show off a trio of Space Marines like this, but… well, tomorrow will explain it.
I’m loving the Mentors so far. So crisp, so… juicy. 😛

G’day mate I couldn’t find an email on your page so I thought I’d comment again. I have a question. Ive accidentally used “gloss” nuln oil instead of matte. Can I go over the gloss with matte and will it darlen the mini too much if I do? Cheers man.

Hit it with matte varnish. Valllejo is good, in a pinch paint over it with lahmian medium or even spray with white knight clear acrylic satin from bunnings.
Let whichever you use dry. Then if it needs more dark use the nuln oil diluted with lahmian to whatever ratio looks like what youre after. By vanishing the area you can also wash it off fast if you need to.

Very nice. Looks like you free-handed the shoulder pads and did a very nice job of it.

Thanks Ann. I can’t take credit for freehanding these. I painted over (and in) 3D printed chapter icons while the arrows and squad numbers are transfers.

I like the Mark VIII chestplate dude you’ve got in there. I always associate Mentors with the cool experimental tech like Errant Armour.

Yeah, that’s what I was trying for with that one. Of course with only the initial 3rd ed plastics available at the time (and that metal bodied trooper) it was a little tricky. The remainder of these two squads and the Assault guys will be my original Mentors so limited in their models. After that, new squads will be much more wide open with options. 🙂
