Space Marines
Its hard to live in Nottingham and not end up doing something Games Workshop related at least once, this one began back when I was working for ‘Straw Dog Studios’ a mobile game developer, anyway they had a pitch to Games Workshop for a turn based squad game (how original) and had me model up a space marine, its part of the pitching process for GW. The game didn’t get picked up and I was left with a model Ultra Marine so I thought I’d use it to make a picture which turned out to be this.
It is a 40K recreation of that famous flag raising photo taken at the Battle of Iwo Jima (you’ll have seen it its got five US Marines raising the american flag), I had to reduce the number to 4 marines for this pic as Space marines are damn bulky and simply take up loads more room than a WW2 infantryman, seeing as they’re 7ft tall and wearing half a car each.
