Here are a few selected miniatures from the Space Marine force I built from
Games Workshop's Warhammer 40,000 line.
They have been painted to represent members of the Hell Hounds Chapter.
A few general notes first. Following construction and cleaning of the various
miniatures, I gave most of them a base coat of flat black. This was then
drybrushed over with Ral Partha's Aged Metal.
On most of the figures, the right shoulder and left boot were then painted
medium grey. The basic black hound silouhette was then painted onto the shoulder
pad. Following this, a black was was applied to the grey areas.
Copper was used to highlight the chest emblems or piping(depending on the
figure). This was also given a black wash.
After the washes were dry, the red eyes on the insignia, the red gems, and
the red eyes on the helmets were painted.
THE HELL HOUNDS |
THE MASTER OF THE HOUNDS |
![]()
The leader of the Hell Hounds. His armor dates back to the very founding of the Chapter itself.
The figure itself is a converted Abaddon the Despoiler. I used my moto-tool
to remove all of the Chaos insignia from the armor. I removed a couple of
other details with the tool as well. I then painted the figure in the appropriate
colors for the Hell Hounds. |
PACKMASTER
This figure represents one of the ten Company Commanders, or Packmasters,
from the Chapter. |
SPIRIT HOUNDS
The spiritual leaders for the Chapter. They serve the function that Chaplains
do in other Chapters. |
BLOOD HOUND
A Blood Hound for the Hell Hounds. They serve the same functions as Apothecaries
do in other chapters. |
VETERAN PACK LEADER
Here was have a Veteran Pack Leader from one of the Chapter's Tactical Squads.
Clearly visible on his right shoulder is the chapter badge. |

STANDARD MARINE
This figure represents one of the 1000 Space Marines populating the
chapter. |
DEVASTATOR MARINE
This Marine, from one of the Chapter's Devastator Squads, is armed with an
experimental version of the Missile Launcher. Note the grey stripe on his
helmet denoting him as a member of the Devastator Squad. |
STANDARD BEARER
Like with the soldiers of old, one of the greatest honors that a Space Marine
can have is to be chosen as the Company's Standard Bearer. |
