WIP - Space Marines diorama - assembly

I wanted to try my hand on some Warhammer 40k stuff as I have never owned some, much more painted some before.

Just wanted to see all the fuzz with the bitz and modifications and the whole shebang.

I liked working with the plastic models but I have NO intentions of building up an army for table top gaming ( as I cannot afford it ). So while I build up my Warmachine ( Khador ) and Hordes ( Trollbloods ) armies for table top gaming, I could do occassional vignettes and dioramas of some models from Wathammer and Warhammer 40k.

Beside they are really popular and some models are really nice specially the Tyranids. I cannot afford to put my Trollbloods on a vignette though, as I'd rather see them painted and in action on table top games soon. So I am super excited to try my hand on doing a Space Marines diorama as there are not much around in the internet and diorama building has always been so fun for me.

I will have to conceptualize a diorama for my new Space Marines tactical squad and I have a picture frame as base already. I could do a mountain with grass and trees and place those Space Marines and call it a diorama, but I'd rather not. I have raw ideas already but would need a bit more models for it. Do check out this space as I work fast when excited.

Now here are a few more photos of the unboxing and the models...

The guy below is ready to be my test subject. He is so ready for hand painting...
