Ok, so I've found some more black reach marines in my house, and it is really encouraging me to do the silly thing I have always wanted to do and build a full company of the Vanilla Marines. Painted in bone with a Vanilla Bean chapter badge, they would be a full company with basically no upgrades. Just straight codex.
Captain:
Power Sword, Artifacer, Melta Bombs, Storm Bolter 138
Troops:
6 x Marine Squad with free weapons (Multi-Melta/Flamer) 1020
Fast Attack:
2 x 10 man Assault Squad 380
Heavy Support:
2 x 10 man Dev Squad, All Missiles 460
1998 points. 101 Codex Approved Marine Bodies. Silly Colour Scheme. I think the Smurfs would enjoy it.

Yay! Vanilla Marines! Ever since I we discussed them I've been waiting for you to do them ;D I've been avoiding doing them myself since I felt that would be copyright violation

I'm going to work on it slowly as a kind of back burner project to sort out the colour scheme and things. I've got probably 30+ random marines kicking around here, plus the basic captain from Black Reach. Otherwise I can just keep adding in marines as I find them cheap.

Yup found 35 of them that are easliy salvageable, and probably another 20 that are in various states of ruined that I MAY be able to coax another 5 marines out of....
Speaking of, anyone have any brokenesque marines?
I kinda want to proxy this at some point. I've got another 10 marines that belong to my son for him to fling paint at while I'm painting, and my 10 assault marines....I could pretty easily fill the rest in with some of my eldar.
Hmm...maybe once the tourney has passed us by. For now I'll finish my scars and then gets some paint on a few of these.
