Hi all, Banzai1000 here with the Imperial Space Marine, a limited edition miniature released to celebrate GW’s 30th anniversary of their first Space Marine model.
I was lucky enough to get the last model out of twenty in my local GW store. I had a lot of fun building and painting this model, it took me one week (I’m a damn slow painter actually).
I decided to paint him in the colors of the Imperial Fists, as I wanted to go for a chapter of the First Founding.
Yellow is a colour that is known to be difficult to paint, so I was up to the challenge and I am quite happy with the outcome.
I used Averland Sunset as base colour, mixed with Orange and Mournfang Brown for shading. For the highlights I mixed in Flash Gits Yellow and Sreaming Scull. The base was done using Agrellan Earth.
What do you think about the model? Leave a comment and let us know. I’m planning to do some more special characters (e.g. the web exlusive Captain…) as some small diorama scenes, so stay tuned.

I've just finished cleaning and assembling the model myself, and found that 32mm base a bit large for the model, so downsized to the more traditional 25mm. Mine will likely end up Mentor Legion in color scheme.
Great job, I just finished my 30th Anniversary marine too! I opted to match my grey Relictors, but glad I didn't choose a yellow army, I suck at yellow. Great chipping and weathering on the feet.
Thx…
This is great. I still have some RTB01 marines, painted and unassembled. Also planning some yellow Tau soon, so this is good to see.
