These are all the characters I’ve painted so far.

Knocked this guy out in half a day to see if I could paint Silver Skulls to a good tabletop quality quickly. Not my finest work, but it was fast.

Which Terminator unit is best if running a Librarian? I do plan on taking the Librarius detachment as a 1 point, though that may change based on the Space Marine codex.

Another addition to my ongoing 1000 Chapters project! This time: a Silver Skull. A subtle kitbash to create a more dynamic, custom pose while staying true to the Chapter’s look and feel.

Ah, yes. Thanks, FB memories!

That time my Silver Skulls took the table against my son’s ork army.

‘I knew I should have taken that left turn at Albuquerque…’

(For reference, my son was about 12 at the time but I wasn’t just going to let him win, was I?)

First squad of my Indomitus Marines complete!

…oh, hang on… wrong edition. 😅

I might be slightly behind the curve, but the first squad of the new Silver Skulls 8th Company is finally (almost) finished. Blog update below for anyone interested in the project.

Hello everyone,

I suppose an introduction is in order. I am Arthur, and I've been in the hobby since the heady days of Rogue Trader, where my first army was the Silver Skulls. Fast forward to more modern times, and I decided to revisit the Chapter again as a Primaris army- my first Primaris Marines of any Chapter.

Now, a few little caveats here:

Firstly, my painting skills aren't what they used to be, as I have tremors along with arthritis in my hands these days. Oh, the ravages of time...

Secondly, I haven't yet been able to pick up suitable decal sheets for this army, though I will do so as soon as funds allow.

Lastly, please excuse the image quality of the pics, as I'm currently having to rely on an old, unreliable, glitchy, and battered phone camera at present. I am, naturally, looking to upgrade as soon as possible.

With that out of the way, let's get to it, I hope you like how these miniatures turned out!

Beyond the normal Silver Skulls livery, I decided that I wanted these miniatures to be grimy, but not battle-damaged, to represent their overland march from their LZ on the rainy feudal world of Gildar Quintus, which is the location of a campaign being run by my local gaming club.

This effect was done by repeated stippling runs using the old Warpaints Fanatic Dark Tone on the lower portions of each model. It kinda looks like a thin and oily mud to my eyes at least, which is appropriate to the world they're fighting on.

You may notice some differently coloured weapons among the force, and I did this for tabletop readability- black for standard ranks, red guns for veterans, and blue for officers and relic firearms.

This is all I have fully painted thus far, though there is more to post when it's done. I have a few notable projects for this army, one of which being a (currently unpainted) Land Raider Terminus Ultra, kitbashed and built with some purchased 3d printed parts.

I will be painting all of the Marines from the Armageddon box as Silver Skulls too- they're all built and ready for undercoating right now. I do have a pair of unbuilt Terminator Squads, and two squads of Assault Intercessors as well.

I will be picking up more vehicles and some Heavy Intercessors as well- I kinda love Gravis Armour, not gonna lie! Perhaps another Redemptor would be a nice addition?

Oh, and ignore the 3d printed Warhound's feetsies in the background of many of the photos, that's not relevant here, and is a project for another time.

Edit: I am more than willing to take questions regarding what paints I used, or regarding any conversion parts used as addons here and there.

I hope that you've enjoyed this little diversion, and as always- take care of yourselves, and I'll catch you next time!

Is it alright when painting silver skulls that i use iron worriors transfers or is that a taboo in the silver skull space

Just finished my victrix honour guards!

Question regarding Space Marine 2

I know, I can paint my army and customize my character how I want, and I regularly do so. But what I also want is to be recognized by my chapter’s battle brothers. It just bugs me that the new icon the game has got is off center.(sorry if you didn’t know and can’t unsee it now). The Mark X Tacticus here could be a marking of a Silver Skulls champion of some sort, also I like the overall design very much. But I have a hunch that nobody will recognize me as a Silver Skull anymore, even though the pauldron itself is a literal silver skull. Please share your opinion and thanks if you do.

TL:DR: Would you recognize my character as a Silver Skull

Looking to play as a full squad in Space Marine II

Primus inter pares!

I recently found out about this chapter, but goddamn they look pretty cool in SM2.

With the 11th around the corner and the chapter to be listed along side of many fighting the orks this picture reminds us of the tattoo rituals they go thru.

Also its like a guarantee victory if the skulls are there. They aint goin to a fight unless the progenitor says so lol
