Savvy Scout Snipers!

Savvy Scout Snipers: Not sure exactly why, but I have always thought the Scout Snipers for the Space Marine armies were dough!  Perhaps it is because of my personal experience serving in Marine Recon, or some of my Scout Sniper buddies in the Corps... but regardless, they are just Baaaad dudes!

I was a little concerned about the color scheme in order to incorporate them into the Deathwatch with appropriately colored attire, while maintaining the integrity of their cammo uniforms and then it hit me... duh!  *Shazam* Urban cammo!

Scout Snipers sighting in on their targets, ready to pull the trigger!

Was a bit nerve-wracking to get the urban 'grey' cammo cloaks completed, but after I finished the first one and saw how cool he turned it, I was motivated to knock out the second one! The interior red, was a perfect finish to the Deathwatch black, red and gold color scheme.  Can't wait to see them on the battlefield!

  1. Nice work on these. Having just painted these fellows, it's a ton of work to do that for the cloaks. Looks great! (I cheesed mine and just did a simple color/wash/highlights)

    1. He he, thanks Greg! Was a huge temptation to forgo the camo, but in the end I relented and am quite glad I did!
