Here a quick Video how i create my simple buts still epic Mars Bases.
I used this Bases on several Projects. The biggest one was my Armies on Parade 2023 Sons of Horus entry.
I also use them on the ongoing Time vs. Result category where i started to paint every Horus Heresy Legion by mixing multiple speed painting techniques.
A couple of weeks ago i went to my local Warhammer store and viewed because of a rainy day a starter game from the 10th Edition of Warhammer 40k. As i saw that the new combat Patrol system is a easy stating point for the 10th edition and also realized that the Space Marine Combat Patrol only includes 12 models i decided to start a quick combat patrol painting project.
Also one of my loved local Warhammer store workers who is a big Alpha Legion fan announced that he will leave the GW family for a new carrer. And an Idea was born…
So i wanted to paint all the Combat Patrol units in a Alpha Legion theme to honor my local Warhammer store worker called “Mark”.
As a Start Point and schedule i decided to almost use “speed painting patterns”. So i gave myself around 3-4h for every unit model and about 10h for each of the character models.
Half on the way to the goal i ran into a post of a Alpha Legion Member that decloaks and i was addicted to the idea that at least the Captain needs this awesome effect painted on.
Here are the final results of the combat patrol painting:
