Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader (1987) included the Field Police of the Legiones Astartes in the first official full-color visual guide to Space Marine insignia. These troopers wear black armor and a red helmet with a black and yellow hazard stripe in place of a rank stripe, and a yellow and red curved flame-like insignia on the shoulder and back banner.
Mike McVey painted a miniature with this pattern identified as Marine Field Police, appearing in Warhammer 40,000 Chapter Approved – The Book of the Astronomican (1988):

There seems to have been only one Citadel miniature released that was specific to this unit, a single arm option for the marine riders of the Vincent Black Shadow Bike, seen in a 1988 mail order flyer (in upper right):

The concept of Field Police that hunted down offending marines made sense in the Rogue Trader era, when the chapters often press-ganged the worst criminal scum from a planet. Many recruits were young adult gang members and murderers whose violent tendencies were barely tempered and focused through the use of combat drugs and surgical enhancements. Imperial Field Police weren't needed any more after retconning the more disciplined backstory of the Adeptus Astartes. However a few later Forge World sources have made reference to this insignia on special disciplinary units within certain legions known to have problems with primal urges.

'Epsilon-Nu-Tau', third Alpha Legion Contemptor Dreadnought
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I had to have one that is purely ranged weapons, I remember that this style of armament, dual twin-linked autocannons, was once called a Rifleman Dread when it was just the Boxnaughts. So this is definitely an upgrade to that.
This should be effective enough to gun down most aircraft (not thunderhawks or stormbirds)
I believe this is my tenth Contemptor Dreadnought overall (5 for Iron Warriors, 1 for Legio Custodes, 1 for Disciples of Be'Lakor and 3 for Alpha Legion) so I may have to do something special for the 11th one, whenever that'll be.

My first time working with Oil paints to make marines!
These guys were done over the course of many many months. Simply due to needing the oil paints to dry.
Honestly it was an interesting medium to paint with. I'll definitely try to cut my turpentine with some water next time so it isn't stripping my base layer haha.
This was a very nice project in the end tho and I'm happy I did those decals in the end.

Reading the Fabius bile books and I like the mundane interpersonal relationships between a bunch of evil space doctors, so it’s like “Hey man, where did you disappear off to, we missed you and things haven’t been the same without you.” and the guy they’re talking about makes people into living furniture.

"The Legiones Astartes is the official title of the warrior organisation more commonly known as the Space Marines." These are just a few sample armor colors out of the 1000 marine chapters scattered across the Imperium, and the first official guide to marine rank and branch insignia. Note the Rainbow Warriors have been canonical since the very beginning. (Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader, Games Workshop, 1987)

XX Legion Voss pattern Lightning Strike Fighter 'Alpha-Vector'
It has probably been the longest I've spent on a model in a long time. This has been a little therapeutic too. I've quite enjoyed making an aircraft again, the Voss-pattern Lightning Strike Fighter has been one of my favourites for some time and I've been meaning to get another for one of my armies.
I wanted to try something different with this though, so it is a little bit of a diorama with the Alpha Legion infiltrators on its base, directing forces and calling in airstrikes on centres of opposition.
