Brazen Claws: Completed!

It took me far, far too long to paint them, but here they are.  It is with a sense of accomplishment and no small amount of relief that I present them:  the Brazen Claws 2nd Company, a detachment of support units and the Chapter Master his retinue.  I think it is fitting that this is also my 300th post to Arcadia Prime.

Good Work, if only a battle company had some punch on the game table. My company is short on transports and still lacking paint or even primer on most of it.

The fact that a Space Marine Battle Company has no punch on the game table implies that there is a serious problem with the game system. But then, this is not news.

My BC company is going to have its day on the tabletop...I just need to work on their opponents, and then find a weekend free where I can play!

Good Job! I really enjoy seeing a painter finish a big project. What are your palns to expand the force beyond 3k points?

Dan Eldredge said...

I haven't done the math, but the total points value of this force is well over 3k. I think it's somewhere between 4.5 and 5k. I don't have any plans right now to expand it--frankly, I'm sick of painting red and blue!

Amazing! One of my favorite things to see is an entire company of painted marines. And with such a crazy pattern too.

Nicely done. And congrats!

Eh, those that claim that the Brazen Claws are destroyed are the servants of Chaos. True followers of the Emperor know that the Brazen Claws will always carry the Emperor's banner and fight his enemies forever.
