I have finished half of my first squad.  I have also chosen to collect the second company of the Ultramarines.  I tried to free-hand the squad markings, wasn't real happy with the results and attempted to apply the decals instead.  These models are the first time I have ever tried using decals.  I am EXTREMELY happy with the way they turned out.  I also attempted some minor weathering around the feet.  I am happy with those results as well.  The Ultramarine symbol is a decal, the tactical marking is free hand.  From here on out I am using decals!  So, next up are the other 5 marines from the squad, including a sargent with power fist.  As always, C & C are always welcome!!http://www.parvusmachina.com/miniatures/wips/sog/squad1pt1.jpg
