In an effort to kick start the mojo I've been dabbling with a starter set of warhammer space marines mostly as it's totally different from my usual fare. So far I'm enjoying the experience, it's limited assembly but lots of painting and here I'm really playing around with different methods and styles. I'll probably do each of the three figures in different schemes as well just to add more interest to this little project. Here's the work so far.

It's always fun to try something from a totally different genre in the hobby. How big are the figures?
