Quick! A speed paint challenge!

 My family went away for a day which gave me a window to get some paint down and go crazy.
I ordered these 25mm colonial marines from 1st corps last year. I thought they were 15mm so was quite surprised when they turned up, however my motto of never get rid of anything really helped out this time. I’ve been rereading the classic 25mm sci fi game Star grunt 2 and thought it would be great to create a platoon. These 1st corps figures are really quite nice and go with the Star grunt very nicely. The figures are a nice blend of Starship troopers and Colonial marines from Aliens.

 There are also some different types to add to the mix, with the Recon troopers above, they also do other variations on the standard trooper by changing the heads and helmets to make different factions. So quite a lot of variety in the range, but the best thing is the price. If you buy them in the platoon deal they are a £1 a figure. Lovely I thought, being 25mm they are on the small side with other ranges but there is enough of a range that you probably won’t have to mix them. So I had a day to get some paint on these guys quick, just one colour then ink wash or even Army painter I thought.
