I just purchased some used tac marines circa 2003 for a friend of mine. The set included a trooper with a rocket launcher. Can this guy be painted up as a devastator or is he just a standard tactical marine? Thanks |

It depends if you are keeping him as part of the tactical squad. If he is staying with his tactical squad, he will be painted in his squad colours. If you remove him from the tactical squad and put him with other heavy weapons in a devastator squad, then he will be painted as a devastator. |

Are you concerned about adding shoulder or knee iconography and the different helmet colors for the different squad types? Because that is really what dictates what squad type a marine is in. |

Dropkick, one of the main reasons I use company designations but not squad markings. I can then mix and match as needed.( only bottom of each base is marked so I can set them with there usual squad mates when I want to:) |

Haywire I'm painting some up for a friend to play a skirmish game, Rogue Planet, but with the idea that he can build upon them and develop a decent playable 40k army. To be honest I was hoping just to add some color to his squad. But since he's a stickler for unit markings I'll just go by the book. Der Krieg Geist I like your idea plus the decals I got are to big for the knee pads. |
