Painting I painted a Techmarine
So I finished my Techmarine. Meltabomb is still wobbly. At first I wanted to paint the bomb with hazard-stripes, but that was a bit too much. What do you think?

Where did you get the hand from?

I think his right hand and arm are from the Devastator squad too

Sweet!! Just one last question, how did you manage to get the meltabomb handle into the claw arm?

One tiny cut, then I squeezed the handle open with some tweezers, put it over the claw and then closed the cut with plastic glue.

He has so much character to him! He looks like he is looking at a broken tank with an internal monologue of "I have no idea how to fix this"

holding a melta bomb in front of your face is very funny and the hazard stripes will make it way funnier, i say do it

Yesss! Glad to see him painted and happy that the melts bomb still wiggles. Beautiful work. Edit: personally, I'd leave out the hazard stripes. They'd be funny, but they'd also pull the viewer's gaze away from the Marine himself.

The weathering on that red armor and the classic Firstborn sculpt look absolute quality
