Years and years ago Yorrik & I were contemplating a Kill Team campaign at our FLGS. If I remember correctly he was working on a SoB team, and I decided to create a group of elite space marines. I started getting interested in 40k when the Armageddon books were coming out, so I always liked the fluff behind the Celestial Lions.
Who better to play in kill team missions then a group of dejected marines fighting to regain their honor and save their chapter? I started five minis almost a decade ago, but I've only be able to find four of them to finish this month.
I've always liked their color scheme, although the gold can look a little grainy. I'm still using my old Shining Gold though, so I don't know if newer line, or other manufacturers have smoother application.
The next mini is the fourth Long Fang to grace my painting table this month.
Say what you will about Space Wolf minis, but good lord are there a lot of head options. I've been painting this commission for a while now, and he has yet to duplicate a single head. It's kinda nice actually.

Vallejo model air gold is a stunning gold that goes on super smooth. just started using it myself and fell in love at the first drop. I really like that celestial lion!
